View Full Version : Mike and Paula's Journal of Life, Love and Ever-Changing Goals
I thought I would bring my journal up here to be with BigDaddyD's.
I started on keto a week ago Monday and it has kicked in pretty well now.
I am 212 on the nose this morning according to my home scale...I am down 11 now since my trip to Mexico in mid August.
My plan right now is to do the following in order to claim both trophy's at the Rx Muscle Arnold competition:
Keep the same training split and do 16-20 sets per session in 4 different exercises...I never do the same exact things 2 weeks in a row:
M-legs
T-chest
W-back
Th-shoulders
F-arms
Note, I do not do any ab or calf work...the good Lord gave me calves so I concentrate on the stuff he did not give me.
Cardio after training, starting at 60 minutes per day. Will do cardio only on weekends both days. Target heart rate of 125-130 for now.
Diet is going well, typical day is:
Preworkout at 6 am: 2-3 eggs and 1 cup of egg whites, scrambled..with hot sauce
Postworkout: 2 scoops of whey and 1.5 tbsp of peanut butter
Meal 3: tuna or chicken, 2 cups of green veggies, almonds or peanut butter depending on what I have around
Meal 4: same as 2
Meal 5: chicken or steak, veggies
Meal 6: same as 2.
taking the following supplements, most at doctor's orders to help with my heart disease risk:
fish oil: 2 capsules 3x a day
vitamin c: 2g a day
CoQ10: 100mg 2x a day
Gluco/MSM: 2 a day
Multivitamin: 1 a day
ZMA: 3 a day
niacin: 500mg 2x a day, slow release
Green tea extract: 1 3x a day
No fat burners for now, but I have some on hand if need them
Today was chest day
Feet on bench, hands on upside down bosu ball pushups: 25 30 30 30 22
Incline bb press: 6/175 4/175 5/165 5/165 4/165
Incline flys: 9/55 8/55 8/55 7/55 6/55
EZ bar pullovers: 10/85 9/85 9/85
60 minutes on bike, 124 bpm average heart rate.

I am going to win, I feel sorry for the rest of the competitors.
My big weakness is I am totally clueless in posing.
i took a few pics last night, but my cell phone does sepia tone shit so these suck as far as quality goes...2 of them I sucked my gut in real hard, the 3rd one, let it almost hang free...lol

I got the impression looking at my lats in the above pic that I am cursed with high insertions. I have no idea though because I have always been too fat to tell...they just look like they come in too high on my back...that will suck. Hope I am wrong.

Thanks for the heads-up. Curious to know what these challenges are....
Damn, how old you gotta be??
you can do the under 40 one.
It's a challenge to be judged by Palumbo and his minions on the Friday of the Arnold...most improved and best physique categories...lots of prizes and publicity.

Good chest work. I would bust my ass trying those bosu ball pushups.
first time doing them like that...finally found something useful to do with a bosu ball....felt the burn in the upper chest a lot more than when I do them with my palms flat on the floor.

Mike you gonna need someone to take pics for you. Trying to pose/flex while holding a camera is not letting you flex/pose at your best.
Get your wife to take the pic, practice in a mirror until you get the "feel" of the pose and then have her snap the shot.
If I can get 1 or 2 shots from her I will be very lucky, she is not into this obsession of mine at all...
I hear when I get really lean and women start hitting on me for once in my life, then she will get real interested.

I could flirt with you... I'm good at it;)
that could get your wife noticing your looking good...
That plan didn't work for me:p
hmm...tempting...let me think about it a few days, ok?
Many people on here have no idea how hard this is without support.
At least my wife has finally started not rolling her eyes when I don't eat what she fixes...and she is eating healthier. I am rubbing off on her slowly but surely.

I know how hard it is Mike. My wife made cookies last night and asked how many I wanted. Not IF, but how many. I had to bribe her to stop tonight to buy me some fresh salmon and greenbeans. UGH....I definitely know Mike!
That's why, although you and I are talking smack, we both win with this one. Except I get the trophy!
Bodyhard,
She knows how to get to my feeling guilty gene.
That's why we got each other's back, no one else has it...
I will let you hold the trophy for a pic, but then you have to give it back

This is a contest to see what Rx member can show up at the Arnold in the best condition (not necessarily the biggest muscularly) plus the one who shows up the most improved from now till then.
The judging will take place on Friday at the Species booth, being judged by a panel of Dave Palumbo's choice. There will be prizes besides the props on the board and the photo/video coverage.

What kind of cardio are you ding G...I'm about to do some cardio myself within two to three weeks...personally I hate it...any good tips?
I am just riding an exercise bike at 125-130 bpm for 60 minutes right after I lift.
Then later when my body rebels I will add another hour in the evening.
shoulders
4x through the following circuit, no rest between exercises...90 seconds rest between each circuit.
upright rows using 45lb plate
arnold presses
db laterals
front raises using 45 lb plate
db shoulder presses
then 60 minutes on bike at 126 bpm average
am shaking and jittery right now, not in a good way...had coffee before and after training, but it usually does not affect me like this.

Macros today so far...might have 2 scoops of whey at bedtime, which will change things some
54g far, 42g carbs, 269g protein
I did eat one ounce of peanuts, and the lean body shakes had 9 g of fat each, plus 6 fish oils...hence fat was still 54 g... still a great day.
I will be over 300g of protein if I have 2 more scoops of whey, at only 1900 calories or so.

I did have 2 scoops of whey later last night so ended up
1,884 calories, 56g fat, 52 g carbs, 317 g protein
Today I am going to go do an hour of cardio, but no lifting...my tendinitis in my left biceps tendon is really hurting, so I am glad I have a break for a couple of days from using my arms in training
Going to my daughter's first swim meet of the season this afternoon, should be a lot of fun
just got off of scale, 209.6, holy shit!
probably because I didn't eat much solid food yesterday, but it was fun to be under 210!

I'm at 255 right now. When I had my body comp checked in the spring the girl told me 207 would put me at 5%. I was down to 218 about 4 years ago but have put on a lot of muscle mass in the mean time.
