I fell off the wagon last night and gave into my girlfriend's baking skills. She made 18 little banana nut muffins and I ate 6 of those fuckers! They were fairly healthy but regardless, they are not on my meal plan. Up a few pounds this morning at 183 LBS. It's OK though, that's why I keep cardio in during the offseason. I'm insured and fully covered from mayhem...
Speaking of cardio, I'm only doing cardio today (I'm actually walking on the treadmill as I type) and I'll be back in the gym tomorrow for legs.Last edited by FeelsGoodMan; 05-04-2012 at 07:00 AM.

Summary
Ended up doing shoulders last night and I hit legs today as planned. Both solid workouts. I military pressed 75 LB dumbbells for 4 sets of 10, which is a good sign that my strength is coming back. Highlights from today's leg workout include hack squatting 495 x 4 sets of 12 and leg pressing 16 plates total for a few sets - the thing was loaded. I did all of this AFTER deadlifts (took it easy with 405 only today) and I still had all my pump and squeeze stuff after. I was toasted after...lol.
I took some pictures post-workout as well, to assess my condition 1 week after the show. Still pretty lean. I'm definitely not as dry but being dry was only a temporary thing. My coach upped my carbs again by 50 grams so my new macros are 275P/350C/40F on training days and we just drop 50g of carbs on non-training so it's just 300g total.
That's it for now. Gonna go enjoy Derby weekend. Might have a meal out tonight, but I'll keep it clean - lean meat, veggie, clean carb.Last edited by FeelsGoodMan; 05-05-2012 at 01:28 PM.

Thanks man! Next week I'm going to tighten things up for sure. This first week post-show has been spotty at best. Last Sunday (the day right after the show) was a complete shit fest. Tuesday I was on plan for 5 meals but had sushi for my 6th. Then Thursday I ate a half-dozen of my girlfriend's home made banana nut muffins. Today I had 2 meals per plan and my girl and I just finished a fairly large dinner at this fancy Italian place, followed by frozen yogurt. So really, this week I was only on plan 100% for 3 days...lol...
I know what I can get away with though and I know there's a limit to my luck, so to speak, so I've just accepted the fact that the first week was rocky and that's fine but next week I gotta bring it in...41 out of 42 meals per week must be perfect. I know I can do it. I think I just needed a full week to cut loose. I haven't taken a break from cardio and lifting though, so it all evens out I think. Hopefully not too much damage has been done (judging from my recent pictures).Last edited by FeelsGoodMan; 05-05-2012 at 08:37 PM.

Notes
I had my "last hurrah" so to speak yesterday evening, throwing down some good Italian food and frozen yogurt with my girl, bringing a weeks' worth of fun eating to an end. It was a rocky first week, but that's to be expected post-show. Now I'm good to go and in a clear mindset to make this offseason as productive and clean as possible. I did extra cardio in the morning and dropped 50 carbs (down to 300). Usually they are 350 on training and 300 on non-training, but since I was pretty loaded from my cheat meal, I didn't think I would need 350g. Workout today was awesome. Took nearly 2 hours but I was a freight train through the whole thing. I love lifting on the weekends because I don't have to worry about time or work commitments.
Here's my diet for today:

Notes
I think I've dropped most of the water from all my eating, looked pretty damn lean this morning. Once weight stabilizes, I can really start to grow. I think I may drop another 1-2 LBS given that my metabolism is raging right now and I'm keeping cardio in. No worries though, I can always just eat more.
Gonna eat clean and on plan all week and have a cheat meal this Friday or Saturday. Jason said I get one "shit show" meal a week, and other times if I choose to dine out just estimate macros and make good choices. Works for me. Love the freedom of being in the offseason.

Few pointers
- Make sure you have a spring form pan
- Beat cream cheese first (bring to room temperature)
- Mix dry in after you beat cream cheese (beat again and scrape sides with spatula)
- Add in Greek Yogurt/Cottage Cheese Next (scrape sides)
- Add in eggs 1 at a time (and mix on a slow speed)
helps keep moisture in
Spray the springform with cooking spray and bake
here is my video on it:

Wont come out as great just throwing everything into a blender, but hope it came out ok!
Next time try the steps above and see how different it comes out. I like to throw whatever I am going to eat in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before eating to make it thicker. Comes out like a brick! hahaLast edited by The Solution; 05-08-2012 at 12:12 PM.
