a little up but back on track

at home sick today


13 oz Marin Sun Farms raw ground chuck today - dinner portion with siracha and fish sauce
3 gelatins

got a nice rich gelatin rich bone filled crockpot going - gonna have for breakfast

down 6.8 lbs - hey not eating junk works!

so that was nice to shed another 2.8 pounds overnight... damn sniffles though

I just through down my breakfast: 5 oz of raw beef with organic turmeric, a raw pastured egg yolk and 2 gelatin packets

I am thinking I'm a little short on cholesterol and fat, and thought a little extra gelatin would help mellow me out and help my healing process

looking forward to the Niners game today

had a nice workout

did back and biceps today at the Berkeley 24 Hour Fitness

pre workout I had 2 scoops of Anaconda and 10 Humapro

5 minute rest between sets


Dinner was going to be simple but I was so sick I just couldn't do any cold food

so I made sure I had 12 Indigo 3 before a dinner that had about 140 grams of carbs

shortrib soup - most veggies and stock, not much meat
Trader Joes organic rice pack
2 pastured egg yolks
6 oz Marin Sun Farms beef - a little raw
nori
siracha and fish sauce
4 tbs dextrose mixed into water
1 tbs organic brown rice syrup

4 lbs gone - so far so good (blandness rules!!!)

so that was nice to shed 4 pounds overnight... the magic of low food reward, zero carb, and raw, and leptin reset magic all combined into one cool system

I just through down my breakfast: 5 oz of raw beef and a gelatin

I am actually a touch hungry writing this about 40 minutes later, so perhaps I'll have a bigger dinner

later in the day, I'm watching the LSU vs Alabama game - Game of the Century

had a nice workout

did chest today at the Berkeley 24 Hour Fitness

pre workout I had a scoop of Anaconda and 10 Humapro

5 minute rest between sets

Dumbell Press

60 lbs x 7
55 lbs x 8, 5

Dips - 8, 8, 8

Dinner was simple as I planned

7 oz Marin Sun Farms raw ground chuck
gelatin

about 1000 calories today

11 lbs in 7 days - 193.4 lbs

yup...

I had this pledge with my bro to lose 11 pounds by this Friday, I started this pledge on October 16th and have had some success but last night had a bunch of carbs and some beer and am up to my exact same starting weight (but my rings are loose - weird)

so it's gonna be just plain unsalted fatty ground chuck for next seven days

I will post each day, trying to get to 182.4 lbs by next Friday

with no carbs, and considering about 5 lbs of the above is just bloat - should work

so I threw down yesterday a total of:

8 oz raw Marin Sun Farms ground chuck
2 gelatin packets
20 Humapro

Weekend in Sacramento - 1 clean, 1 not

so I knew today wasn't going to be 'clean'

at 7am I had 4 Yok3D

before working out: Chain'd Reaction + 10 Humapro

2 scoops of Chained Out mid workout

Chain'd Reaction + 10 Humapro afterwards

Workout at the Marina 24 Hour Fitness

Neutral Grip Pullups
5, 5
7 sets of 3: 31 total

Close Grip Neutral Chinups
3, 3,

1 close grip neutral chinup

then a big breakfast at Bechel's - eggs florentine and bacon
afterwards a nice cup of coffee and cookie and coffee cake from Chestnut Bakery

big day for Prime and Super Cissus Rx: 12 each


in the afternoon I had a bunch of wine, chocolate, tangerines, pastries, etc...

at night went to Fat's in Roseville

booze and Chinese food
it was great

next day I started clean with 2 oxyelite pro

in the afternoon after I got back I had Chained Out and 10 Humapro with 3 Prime and creatine

before dinner I had 2 need2slin and 5 Humapro

4 organic egg yolks
1.35 lb kobe beef burgers - cooked rare
1 medium onion caramelized in tallow
5 Humapro

22 carat Tuesday

:)

did a little pickup on this day - should be a wonderful weekend

stacked 10 Humapro twice during the day, the second time with 3 Prime

Dinner was simple, 2 need2slin before dinner

1 tbs cultured raw butter
3 tbs organic coconut butter
3 Marin Sun Farms - sunny side up in butter
4 slices thick cut bacon
0.42 lb pork chop

No sharks this time

so we ended up going to Point Reyes station today, by way of Stinson Beach, it was a nice cold day

after we left Stinson Beach park, we stopped at local market and I scarfed down some prosciutto and 4 oz of wild smoked sockeye salmon. Then we stopped at the Marin Sun Farms Butcher shop in Point Reyes Station, had some great blue bottle coffee and some beerf jerky.

later at home I had 3 need2slin, then 0.86 lb porterhouse steak, organic coconut butter, about 4 to 5 tablespoons, and some peanut butter

last two workouts

so I failed to post my Superbowl Sunday workout

my biceps were still really sore, so I did 38 chinups

5, then 11 sets of 3 - standard 3 min between sets

Across body Hammer Curls and Hammer Curls with 30 lbs

was a little disappointed, but with how much I have been eating, I was probably close to 187 lbs that morning - each pound does make a diference. I had horrible eating days on the previous Thursday and Saturday, and weekend before that Friday through Sunday was horrible

this morning, did my usual Jack3D - 2 scops, CR + 10 Humapro pre and post, but drank 3 scoops of Chained Out during my workout - woke up at 180 lbs

I however had one twist, got my Yok3d from USP, threw three down the hatch at 430 am, 100 minutes before the start of my workout (90 to 120 minutes is the recommendation)

Hammer Incline Press - each set finished with 8 count X rep
90 lbs x 7, 4
85 lbs x 4
80 lbs x 4, 4, 3

Wow - super intense, hopefully my rep count for 90lbs will go up next week. Noticed my overall peak strength didn't go up, but my endurance was waaay more than normal. Each set was spent pushing absolutely as hard as I could.

in fact, was so intense I couldn't do any dips, whereas the previous week I could knock out 27 dips over six sets

Gironda Barbell Curls - got stronger
55 lbs x 10
55 lbs x 6 + x rep
55 lbs x 4 + x rep

this was extremely painful, but in a good way

Hammer Curls - got up one rep each hand with 32.5 lbs, but did a lot of reps with 30 lbs - to emphasize the brachialis and brachioradialius

on my way home, biceps were so swollen, it was strange, overall this strategy seems to be working, I need to make sure I don't use Chain'd Reaction as an exuse to bing on junk carbs for unneeded cheat days - today dinner will be low calorie, just some raw butter and lamb chop

who would have thunk it! low calories are good

so I am hoping one more day of this low calorie stuff will pull me back into the low 180s

really curious to see how 6 days of low calories or zero carb will work in terms of weight loss

my meal plan for today was going to be the same - but hunger grabbed me to no end

I still kept it to zero carb though

1 tbs raw butter
0.35 lb marin sun farms ground chuck - raw
0.28 lb pancetta
0.22 lb marin sun farms lamb chop

around 1000 calories

let's go lift!

woke up feeling great Saturday morning

didn't drink that much, plus I had a lot of saturated fat to protect my liver (cheese)

took 2 con-cret, then a scoop of CR, CO and 10 Humapro

post workout the same - minus the CR (had plenty of carbs yesterday)

hit the gym at the Marina
