The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I just write my workouts down in a school notebook!

 

I could do that but... I don’t carry around paper or save it or keep it lol
Plus nothing goes in my gym bag thats not washable. Its gonna end up smelling like shweatty balls dipped in diesel. Jus sayin.

Just realized you’re in Lafayette, I’ve got an assembly center in Lafayette that I buy a lot of parts for. Been there a few times.

 

I didn’t fast between yesterday and today (my eating schedule got screwed by my work schedule) but I put on my full tome job uniform today and it fit much better, I’m looking forward to what the next few weeks bring.

 

Today's food.
Hitting that 5000 Cal mark was tough

 

I really cannot imagine eating that much. Thats like a job.

Now is that 5,000cals/day with a 24 hour fast day in the week? Maybe you said you do even longer fasts than that

 

5000 minimum on training days. Will be around 3600-4000 on off days. Then I fast all day Monday.

 

So why do you do the fasting?

 

Mainly to give my digestive system a break lol

 

LOL

That makes sense.

Do you enjoy it or feel you get any particular benefit?

I have yet to do an extended fast but I feel I need to try it out.

 

I do enjoy it. It really makes eating so much throughout the week easier and breaks up the cycle. Plus I always fast after my cheat day so it's nice to reset and get hungry again over the course of 24 hours.

 

Active rest day.

 

The only kind of rest day!

 

Here’s a fun topic. Milk.

During this cut I’ve been fairly low carb and moderate fat. I was drinking 10oz of whole milk with breakfast and before I went to bed (with whey or casein). I’ve made some adjustments to go lower fat as my cut progresses so I switched from whole milk to skim milk to cut fat. I switched to 16oz skim milk with breakfast and before bed (still with whey or casein). My carbs are the same but fat is about ~20g less now...

I’m going on week 2 of the switch and I’ve felt like shit everyday since. My vertigo came on hard and my stomach has been in knots. Yesterday during leg day I was super setting squats with sprints to the toilet.

Last night I subbed my skim milk for a dairy free/soy based egg nog and this morning I skipped my shake altogether and I feel so much better. We are leaving for a 5 day trip to Disney on Monday and I’ll be off diet for that trip so I’m going to use it as a reset and then never ever drink skim milk again in my life

 

I almost wonder if my Total calories per week is higher than you. I eat at least 4k a day and somedays 4500 depending if I am feeling fat or not

 

On the weekend I do an extra 3 hours fast (lol) So I have maybe 11 hours fasted from my dinner the night before to my breakfast the next day. (Not really a fast, but you get it). Normally I eat at 6am...

While my blood sugar is dumb shit high and I feel terrible there, I feel great as far as my bloat goes. I take the good with the bad. Next fast I may just shoot 3iu insulin to help with that now that I am talking about it...

 

I toss okra (chopped in 1/2 inch pieces) in some mild olive oil, kosher salt, and put it in for around 10 minutes on 395. Okra chips! Super good.

 

I used to drink skim for most my life but the wife drinks almond milk, so I just drink that now. She’s gone off the deep end and actually makes it herself now.

 

I’ve always wanted to know about this


Where are the nipples on an almond?
