I know that is not the healthiest thing in the world. But, I feel great. And this was without any specific cardio. I am gonna step that up this week and see what happens. I know the first week is usually the largest weight loss. So, I won't be disappointed if I don't lose ten pounds next week. But, this is great! Motivates me that much more!

Thanks for all the support guys! Awesome job on the PR Chris and even better job on sticking to this. 10 lbs is not unhealthy to drop in the first week on a diet shift like this. It will slow down and get more in that 1/2lb a day loss as you move forward. Keep at it buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntca Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Supper Baked Cube Steak Green Beans Roll Worked on a little circuit tonight at the house. Not too much, jumping rope, swinging the sledge, farmer's walk with my "pinching stones", jogging, some body weight stuff. Man, I am severely out of shape and very weak. We are working on that too. I think this is turning into something like a "look good naked" thing. (Sorry for that mental picture.) Spoon of Peanut Butter before bed.

huntca Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yesterday - Breakfast - English Muffin, Sausage & Cheese Lunch - Grilled Chicken Salad from the cafe Supper - Not so good, we went out with some friends for Mexican. I had the shrimp, steak and chicken fajitas, only ate the meat vegetables and three small tortilla shells. No rice or beans! (Almost a crime!) Then the fatties wanted ice cream later, so I had just three bites of a brownie sundae - I almost went into shock. I guess it could have been worse. Headed to Paul's this morning. I may or may not be able to type tonight when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntca Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Not a good day today.......stayed in Shreveport with the family after the Shindig at Paul's yesterday. Breakfast - Hotel food, oatmeal, eggs and sausage. Had to have two glasses of cran-apple juice. Swam in the pool with the kids after breakfast. Did a few lengths. Lunch - Taco Bell....enough said. Supper - Grilled burgers and pork skins - finally got back to the house. All in all, it could have been a lot worse. I had to check the scales as soon as I got home and I had still lost a little. But, not my usual time to weigh. Will check in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntca Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Chris, your #3 attempts were DANG close...matter of days now. Thanks man. We didn't even get the closest one on vid. The first attempt I just grabbed it, set it and squeezed. Ted said it was couple sheets of paper away. That's when Paul gave the lecture about wanting stuff on vid. 8/31/09 Well, I didn't gain any weight over the weekend. But, I didn't lose any either. Breakfast - English Muffin, Sausage, Cheese......gotta get something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well deserved cheat day in there bro. You have done a great job sticking to this program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntca Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Got this idea from Mike's log: Just some observations as to the weekend as far as I am concerned. Grippers: Psyched to get as close on the #3 as I did. The heaviest gripper I have is a #2. The last time I was over there, I had a crappy (no) set. And couldn't get the thing to parallel hardly. I have got to get some heavier grippers. Blobs: This was the highlight of the trip. Only the second time touching blobs. The only thing have been doing remotely similar are the "stones" I have at the house. One is good for rep type work for me and the other I have been doing for time and for farmer's walks. Seem to have helped. Axle: First time on the axle. Really the first time doing deads period. I pulled a questionable 315. But, I reversed the grip and got it no problem. So, I am excited about deadlifting in general. Thanks again for the advice Rex. I have got to start doing this. RT: First time on the RT. Didn't really spend much time on this one. The main thing I have got to concentrate on is squatting, gripping and pushing with the legs as opposed to pulling with the arms. Same thing on the V-bar. This will take some time. I have a long torso and long arms, with super short legs so it will take some practice. V-bar: Not really my favorite thing. Has really killed my biceps tendon both times. Also, Paul telling me about guys tearing it doesn't help either. Turning into a mental thing. Honestly, don't think there is enough weight on there to tear it, but still sore as heck. Misc.: Got the 2-35's this time around. Couldn't get 2-25's the first time. Wish I would have at least tried the 5 dimes. Didn't even think about it until now. Just ran out of time to do any bending. I need to get a few items to be able to really progress. (How to talk the wife into that?) Mostly the grippers right now. Then the axle and eventually a Blob50. All in all, it was a great day. I think everyone had an awesome time. I know I did. Edited August 31, 2009 by huntca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntca Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Lunch - Fried chicken strips. Was super busy at work today and that was about the only option. Bad Fatty!!! Supper - Grilled pork chop and chicken tenders, salad and two spoons of potatoes. I feel so much better now when I eat healthier. Did a little bending tonight. 1/4"x7" Drillrod - Seated DO x 2 1/4"x6" Drillrod - DU x 2 1/4"x5" Drillrod - Barely wobbled DO. Switched to DU and got it pretty close to 40 degrees. Bent off center, so it depends. I'm gonna say not complete just so I won't be lying to you guys. 1/4"x7" Square - DO - This was an iso piece a couple weeks ago. Just melted tonight. 1/4"x6" Square - DO - No go. Getting tired and sore. 1/4"x6" g5 - DO - Barely wobbled. Getting more tired and sore. 60d - DO - Got one to 90 degrees tonight. Tough little boogers. Bought a box of these from the HW store and have only been able to wobble them until tonight. Took these with me this weekend and Paul tried one. Said they were the hardest 60d's he had run across. That made me feel better. Ben - Thanks buddy. I haven't given up on the bending, just running out of stuff. Paul - I was doubtful over the weekend. But, you will have your box of bent nails when I come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntca Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 9/1/09 Breakfast - Granola Bar Lunch - Grilled Chicken & Pork, Salad Supper - Tacos on Carb Tortillas Did my first deadlifting over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Decided to max out real quick last night at the school. Pulled 415 in jeans and flip flops. No belt, reverse grip on an Oly bar. Not too bad. I really wanted 450. Thinking about starting the six week deads program some of the other guys are doing in the race to 550. Went on about an hour walk last night. Feel pretty good this morning. Weighed this morning......349.2, slowly but surely going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntca Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think that I may be cutting too far back on the carbs. I have been really tired this week. I mean like falling sound asleep at my desk. The funny thing is that I have been sleeping better at night this week than I have in a really long time. The only other thing it might be is I missed a good bit of sleep this weekend. I am gonna stay the course over another week or so. I have a long weekend so I will try to catch up on some sleep. If I can do that, and still am not feeling any better by next week, I am going to have to revamp. I am pretty sure that eating smaller meals more times per day would probably help this problem. However, that is hard to do with work. Oh, well. I figure something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that is hard to do with work. Oh, well. I figure something out. One thing I have found when doing the low carb diets is that if I cycle in a higher carb day once or twice a week it goes much better. When bigger guys like us, that have been eating hundreds of grams of carbs everyday drop too far, it turns us into zombies, because our metabolism just slows to a crawl. I usually have a small cheat meal on Wednesday and a decent cheat day on Saturday. Hope it helps. Stay with it man, you are doing awesome.
