Re: Misc. progress thread

lol well i told myself it was because i hated it. now i enjoy it. =p but i'm also lifting.


i just need to adjust my diet which i can work out by the new year. this year was just learning how my body reacts to working out, and it seems to be pretty well. so when i incorporate a better diet i'm sure i will be banging out selfies like SCWolf in a few years :p

Re: Misc. progress thread

I've pretty much let myself go. Back up to 170bs and haven't done any lifting or cardio for 8 weeks. My semester turned into hell and I didn't have time to work out. The worst is over, but I won't have access to a gym for another month ;_;

Re: Misc. progress thread

Man my workouts have gone to shit lately. So stressed.

Today I went real light but tried something different. 195 on the bar for bench but I got 20 reps. I was actually surprised I could rep it that hard.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Over winter break I've been trying to get back into running and I've cut most of the weight that I gained after I stopped working out back in October. Unfortunately I haven't done any lifting with weights (I have done body weight exercises) so hopefully I'm not losing too much muscle.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Down to 194.5 from 203, about 3-4 weeks into cutting. Things are going well.

Strength down about 5 lbs on bench but it has stabilized. Squat up 5 lbs. Deadlift not sure, since I'm not really pushing it.

Target weights right now are 189 @ 2 months, 184 @ 3 months, 180 @ 4 months. After that point I'll reevaluate and see if I want to slowly cut anymore weight.

Oats aren't that low in GI.

Something with long-chain fatty acids (fish, for example) might be best. They've been shown to be better for fat loss during caloric deficit.

"Long chain fatty acids (LCFA) require complex transport mechanisms in order to make it into the mitochondria. These transport mechanisms are heavily impacted by the hormone insulin, with higher levels inhibiting fatty acid transport into the mitochondria. In contrast medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) can directly diffuse into the blood stream and into the mitochondria, irrespective of the carbohydrate and insulin load introduced into the system. In hepatocytes as well as in other cells, storage of MCFAs is limited (Papamandjaris, MacDougall, & Jones, 1998). Thus, research demonstrates that consumption of MCFAs results in greater fat oxidation, greater fat loss during a caloric deficit, and in cases energy expenditure than LCFAs (St. Onge et al. 2003; Babayan, 1987; Tsuji et al. 2001). Finally research has demonstrated that supplementation of fish oil relative to corn oil results in less subcutaneous and visceral fat even though total macronutrient content was matched for (Hainault et al. 1993)."
