OK, here goes another one. Decided to spend the better part of 2010
concerned with the bodybuilding crap. My powerlifting training will
never be where I want it until I get my ass down to 200lbs or less.

BW: 223
Diet: Carb Cycle

1/4/2010: Chest/Shoulders

Bench
175x8x6 45s rest

DB Incline
65x6
70x6
75x6
80x2x6 60s rest

DB Fly
30x12,10,10,10 45s rest

Cable Front Raises
20x8x8 45s rest

Standing OVH
100x6
120x6
130x6 60-90s

Rear Delt Fly/Raise
20x15,12 45s rest

Substituted some movements from what they were supposed to be cause I
have broken parts. Shit was still a pain in the ass, but I kinda like
it.....

Well isn't that special...

For the record I write my weight weight x reps x sets

1/5/2010: Back

Deadlift off 2 mats 45s rest
275x3x6

Hammer Strength Row 60s rest
2patesx6
2.5px6
3px6
3.5px6x2

Wide Grip Pulldown 45s rest
145x12
130x3x12

Stairmaster
30 min level 6

I didn't really like todays training, felt like I didn't accomplish
anything. I used the recommended % on DL, but it was real easy. I'm
probably going to lose the mats next week. Also someone got to the
chest supported row right before me so I had to use the hammer
strength....weak.

shoes off was harder than my training today.

For right now I'm only doing cardio post training, but I bought a exercise bike and I'm going to get my steady state done in the mornings and leave post training for HIIT only.

That will be nice having the bike when you get up to 5+ cardio
sessions a week. Do you have any plans on doing the sled or strongman
HIT sessions outlined when they call for 20-30 minutes of HIT?

just need more practice and its doable.
655 - 2 drops? made it tho

Didn't follow the training today cause we don't have a GHR or Reverse
Hyper, and that was what my training was supposed to be. Plus I wanted
to play with some heavier stuff. Not too bad on events considering it
been 4 months. I probably won't do events regularly, today was just
for fun. After the first 12 weeks of this cut is over I will begin
doing more events.

Miss calculation on my part when figuring my food for the day. I was dividng up my grams of protein but forgetting about the 40g for breakfast and the 30g post training. Also, I was adding my 25g of fruit in without accounting for it in my carb totals. Roughly 400 calories off, day dependant.

Depends on how you figure maintenance calories but I figured maintenance is 3000, and I come in around 2500 on low days, 2700 med, and 2600 high.

Weighed in after training (2 meals already in me) at 220. Bullshit.

me.

Rear Raises (Cable)

Done in exactly 60 minutes. Getting faster, but I had to sacrifice
weight. I think that's what I need to do though, these sessions
shouldn't be more than 60 minutes and I've been pushing 90 mostly.

Just thinking ahead, 12 weeks won't be long enough to get where I want
to be, so after the 12 weeks are up, I will do 2 weeks of maintenance/
slight excess, and repeat this program.

Squats are definitely challenging, but I haven't hit the point yet
where the weight is the absolute max I can do for the 6x3. I've jumped
20lbs each week, next time around I think I'll only jump 10 as I am
definitely getting close to the max I can do in that rest period.
Pretty happy with these though, makes me feel like I'm lifting heavy,
when really I'm not.

Today was bad, I felt weak, tired, slow and unmotivated. I have found
that high carb day makes me feel like complete garbage so I am moving
it to Saturday which means I'm going to have to go this whole week
without a high carb day. Probably going to be very angry. Especially
if I'm lifting like I did today.

Narrow Leg Press
5plates x 4x12

LP Calf raises
5platesx8x8

Squats were easy today, could have easily managed 295+ for my 6x3, my
only issue was walking it out and settling, kept pulling me forward if
I wasn't set up perfect. I'm going to either add a black (or purple)
band to each side next time, or increase weight with grays. Really
needed to switch movements this day, I'm pretty worn out on safety
bar. I'm keeping it for my narrow stance day though, don't want to get
back under the straight bar much at all still.

this whole week has been kind of a cool down in terms of eating/
training, no progress has been made toward my goal in 7 weeks now.

That's all for today, transitioning to a more strength oriented event

first instead of chest, and will be training my overhead events as
well. Diet is off track as well as cutting in general right now.

I don't know if anyone reads this mess of a training log, but I'm
doing whatever I want at the moment. Eating however I feel like and
training however I feel like. I came to the conclusion that mentally I
wasn't committed to cutting as much as I thought. I still have the
desire to cut, but the will just isn't there yet. I'm just going to
try and have fun until the two meet up and I'm able to commit fully.

That said, training has been ok, feel like I'm closing the gap on what
my mind thinks I can do, and what my body can do, so that's nice.

Transitioning to a new homemade template, we'll see how it goes, still
bodybuilding oriented, but working my overhead heavy 1 day a week. I'm
going with a clean diet, carb cycle, and moderate cardio. Instead of
focusing on losing as much weight as possible, I'm just going to let
things work on their own. I'll either get stronger, leaner, or bigger.
As long as its not fatter I'll be ok....

Ok well I'm alive and well, back from little accident as most of you
know. My left leg took the brunt of it, and its getting better. Doctor
said no breaks/fracture and no tears so I should be able to begin
squatting in a week or so. I trained at 60% today and it was rough.
Two weeks of doing essentially nothing really hit me hard. I felt
weak, tired and out of breath with warm up weights. I'm guessing it
will take a little while to get back up to speed, and my absolutely
terrible diet during the past two weeks won't help either. I'm getting
back on track with all aspects of my training and diet.
