Yea but ice cream

Hell yea! The creami IS magic. Just ruffling feathers. I used to make this coconut flavor that tasted just like a pina colada. Mmm damn good.

Where are you getting this from? Justin Harris? :)

I ask because it's not true. Do you also believe seed oils are evil? Corn syrup is the devil?
Click to expand...
It's just logical. Chicken, steak, fish, eggs, etc. are far superior than any whey protein out there. How can you dispute that? The micro nutrients in steak and eggs far outweigh a whey protein. Whey is great on a macro level, but... come on. You are really going to tell everyone that steak and eggs are not better than whey? And in a cut? You aren't going to be more satiated with steak and eggs over some ice cream? Your stomach might feel big and full from all the melted liquid, but that doesn't last long.

Justin does preach that whole foods are better than processed but not for the reasons I'm thinking that steak and eggs are superior to whey. He is not a health/micro nutrient kind of coach.

Seed oils..? Okay. My view is the same here. Instead of telling my clients to eat vegetable oil as their added fat, I'd probably tell them that whole eggs or avocado would be more of a money food. :ROFLMAO: Is that is unreasonable too?
 
196.3

fst on ham curls today.
it was pretty hard today but not impossibly hard.
I think it helped i actually got some sleep last night, about 645 seems like.
been doing a bit better on sleep thankfully.
tomorrow sleep will be shit, but i should be able to get another 6 - 7 tonight.

all in all was pretty good maintaining as much of my strength as i possibly can.
my muscles feel so deflated lol my glycogen my water noooo.

body holding this weight hard.
first week of true cut, but I feel like ive leaned a good bit surprisingly. pretty amazing how fast it comes off with good macros and training.
im guessing its just all the water leaving? not having any stomach bloat in the morning and evenings feels really good.
didnt really notice how uncomfortable it was until its gone lol.

I had good sleep at 645 for me. new schedule is pretty good where now I only theoretically should only get
1 low sleep night which is tonight.
decent push day. strength slipped a tad.
dropped 5lbs on cable lat raises 2nd set.
had to do regular smith and I failed everything on it felt fairly weak, noted to drop a little weight if I have to do regular smith again.
the crunch fitness incline and regular benches are notoriously difficult because where the bar sits you have to unrack the complete weight, cant really slide it so theres a ton of wasted effort and ton of shoulder stress when racking or unracking, more so when unracking.

luckily I only have to use it every so often.

everything else was tip top and hit my reps on everything plus fst 7 on chest fly and db lat raises.

bjj 1 hour and same foods.

Yes, the quick drop was mostly water and glycogen. Now we are most likely at cut point which we will continually manipulate carbs/cardio and intensifiers.
Click to expand...
lol here i was thinking intensifiers were done until next growth haha.

i have noticed positive body changes however already which is awesome.
slight lat striation, which I know they werent there before, since ive been giddily watching them like a hawk and some extra vascularity here and there.

i also just feel skinny which is nice lol from feeling super bloated and fat.

We will use the intensifiers until you get fairly lean. Then we pull back for stamina to fatigue reasons.

I'm very interested to see the improvements after shedding some adipose.
 
mfckin hell yea

195.3 streak broken. i knew it, matter of time.
great pull day to finish off the week.
i did not miss a single rep of anything today and felt pretty good. maintained all numbers from tuesday.

fst on seated rows again. They are really nasty on seated, im suprised im getting so damn sore while cutting. hamstrings are pretty bad lol.

low sleep night but was expected dont feel as bad as i thought, i think since been getting extra sleep can handle 1 low night easy.

same foods and bjj 1 hour.

This stuff is so good but I question the nutrition info do to the highlighted ingredient.

Using it super sparingly but dammn it's super good.

I was thinking would be way too hot and gross but its not very hot at all.

my sleep has improved during the cut, so far, which seems backward, but I think it has to do with the amount of food I was digesting during the last few hours of the day.

I love that stuff. The black truffle and green sauce are bomb too.

Definitely not zero calorie though. I looked into it lol

They get away with labeling anything less than 5 cal in a serving as zero calorie and a serving size is a teaspoon. No way I'm using a teaspoon of that so I assume it's 4 cals per serving and even if I use a whole bottle a week (not quite but I could easily lol) it's 284 extra calories that week. Definitely have to be careful with it cuz I could use it on everything.

Yea most of those Melinda's are labeled at zero cals but there's no way. Looks like you had the same thoughts I had after tasting it

Low cal and definitely delicious though. I'm about to use their green sauce right now on some Mexican slow cooker chicken

194.4 again lol



the last 2 days probably hardest for diet wise, just because I didnt have anything going on. so my mind was pretty much just consumed with the next meal and when that was happening.

to pass the time played diablo 4 on the ps5 with my daughter.

shes only 7 but she kinda got the hang of it, it is pretty simple hack and slash sorta, and im carrying the fuck outta her but still good few hours.

good push day tho. striations on shoulder with a little pump are crazy!

i feel like starting to look a little freaky now! at least for my standards.

smith incline starting to fail strength wise a bit. everything else is still holding up for the most part.

40 min stairmaster

Same foods from Thursday Friday no changes

this website keeps breaking on different connection sources a little frustrating when im having to update the log 😡

No bjj this week, interested to see how my weight changes this week with just pure static cardio.

40 min stairmaster is such a bitch right now.
 
192.8 streak broken again woo!

Had a really good pull session.
Being healthy makes such a difference
Feels good getting some real bicep work and not having to baby my shit all that much.

Losing a little strength finally. Just a teeny bit, and I've noticed when I go to cardio I am now a little hungry. God it's so fucking annoying.

Running short on time can't do full rundown but basically hit ever single rep from Friday, I can just tell that I am starting to fade ever so slightly however.

192.0 flat

good push day, had to drop 5lbs on incline smith everything else held pretty good.

kinda funny, i dont think im particularly strong or anything, im pretty consistent so stronger then average guy, but among the more dedicated peeps im right there in the mix with the regulars

a guy asked me to work in on flat machine press told him sure.
i kinda thought well this might be hard if he isnt as strong as me we're gonna have to take off alot of weight but whatever I didnt mind, no big deal, but ended up not having to. I didnt really recognize him so i figured maybe hes pretty strong.
once i loaded up 3 plates and some change for my first set, he didnt come back lol.

No one talked to me for years and after a while some realized I just look like an asshole and try to talk a lot more than before. I keep my rest periods shorter so they don't have time now

i dont really have the time to chit chat at all, my workout time and everything is dialed in to the minute. If i even mess up a minute or two, or get delayed I end up having to nix abs and get em later. during school breaks i have more leniency in time but I still like to stick to my schedule, everything feels off the rest of the day when i dont.

i even have alarms on my phone for intensifiers. since Ive timed how long they take I know how many minutes I need to change my wakeup time too etc... It doesnt change it a ton, but never the less sometimes its a little extra.

if we ever lower the cardio time a little thatll help a bit. but i put on fat pretty fast, im guessing due to being previously fat so we have to manage it.

Fat cells have a ‘memory’ of obesity — hinting at why it’s hard to keep weight off

Long-lasting changes to the cells’ epigenome are linked to a decline in their function.
www.nature.com www.nature.com

stupid fat cells

  1. "When these formerly obese mice faced a high-fat diet again, they regained weight nearly twice as fast as mice who had never been obese. After this second high-fat diet period, the epigenetic signatures could account for 31% of upregulated and 60% of downregulated differentially expressed genes. Adipose tissue also exhibited greater glucose and fatty acid uptake compared to lean controls, as well as showing impaired development of new, healthy fat cells (or “adipogenesis”). Impairments in adipogenesis can lead to dysfunctional fat storage, with lipids spilling into non-adipose tissues (like liver or muscle) and creating an inflammatory environment that often precedes metabolic disease."
