took a 10 min break and than a KB breathing ladder. i was shooting for 1-20 but only could make it to 11 before i was completely gassed.

 

Well I just finished a half a sirloin, asparagus, and shrooms for lunch. Add that to the protein shake I had this morning and my chest should be ready to conquer flies and decline today like a champ.

 

is it chest week for you??

 

Indeed it is, are we on the same cycle?

 

incorrect its dirty gainz week for me so no lifting. actually the only lifting is deadlifting 35 pounts the kiddo is attached to me at the shoulder when im home

 

Skipped most of last week but finally feel rested. Going to get the next 3 days in before my Christmas vacation.

 

I'd use him to do plyometrics.

 

thats the next step. im easing him into it

 

Any of you with knowledge about the keto diet, I have a couple questions...

1. I've read a lot about the first two weeks being really foggy for the brain and whatnot, but today is ridiculous. When I got to work today, I had to count the cash drawer three times lol! Any keto folks remember this going on?

2. My diet is going really good. Meal prep is super easy, not having to deal with carbs, but for my fats on most meals, I just down 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Is that okay? I know a lot of people say to cook with olive oil, butter, etc., but all I have on hand right now is olive oil, so that's pretty much my only source of fat. I know olive oil is a healthy fat, so it should be a suitable source of fat, right?

Other than the mental fogginess, it's going great so far. My workouts are still intense and I can still lift the same amount of weight

 

I suppose I should of added that photo on another post

 

Eat more fat. That will help with the fatigue.
Don't worry too much about good fat vs. bad fat. Most of what people call "bad fat" isn't that bad. Just stay away from the transfat, fried food type stuff.
Invest in bacon and eggs. Couple slices of bacon or a couple eggs is an easy way to up the fat on any meal. Also, stuff like almonds and macadamias help to snack on.
I wouldn't try to solely get fats from olive oil. Try canned coconut milk. Loaded with fat and calories.

 

Are you still on this? Just do it! haha

haha possibly

 

Time to go smokes some weed and crush my chest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I felt kinda stupid today going through about 6 tbs of olive oil. I went to the store this morning and bought bacon, sausage, some ground beef, and other fatty meats. I usually go through about 6-7 eggs every morning anyway, so I'm good there. how long of periods do you do the keto for? Like 3-4 months, or just all the time?

 

Broke some PRs today. 385x6, 395x5, 405x3, last rep of 405 i was barely able to see, stand and breath. had to take a knee after that one.

 

Nice numbers

 

yeah trying to bring up my raw numbers, it's a lot harder to come out the hole without knee wraps, i think i lost a good 50-80lbs on my squats.
