Well been gone a long time, hope you all are well.
Just want somewhere to log and keep details. Pipe in an call me a cunt whenever, its all fun and games.
Been a hectic year between working, partners mother passing away at 52 (wtf) and buying a house. Lots of highs married with lows at the same time. What should have been a huge stepping stone for both of us was sadly marred with some terrible happenings. Onwards and upwards tho. Relationship is still solid, kinda trying for a baby, all that shit.
So where am I at.
First off, I'm fat. Acknowledged.
Weight is 211lbs. Shameful but first to admit the last 6 months eating as been abysmal.
I did sort my diet out around 4 weeks ago. But thought I was consuming circa 2500 cals, unwittingly and stupidly not realising my rice/ pasta nutrition data was when cooked and not uncooked. So when I thought I was having 75g carbs, I was Infact putting back around 220g post workout. Surprisingly, my weight didnt really alter. In 3 weeks I went up 2lb.
I should have known better, the meals were large but brain just didnt click. What did happen tho is my strength flew up. So no complaints. Daily carb intake for those three weeks was circa 360g a day. Atleast I know what I can get away with.
Current diet is kinda IIFYM. I have no limit on type of food, as long as I hit desired macro breakdown. Not worried about micro, I'm hardly in the condition where I need to.
Current macro -
Mon - fri - 70g fat - 250g carb - 210g pro
Sat/sun - 115g fat - sub 20g carb - 200g pro
All carbs are around workout. 50g before, 50-75g during - 125-150g post.
Gone back to 5 x a week training, full body splits. Big compounds x 2 , isolation x 3. I made the best progress doing this in first two years before I tried to drop volume and up intensity. I don't think I have the mindset at times to do what needs doing in less time. I'm going back to what worked and seeing how it goes.
And that's about it.
First goal - get to 200lbs whilst holding strength. Should be there in a month.Let the games begin.
Only large compound I am not doing is squats. Left knee hasn't been right for over 8 months now. Is like glass grinding behind my knee cap. Anything over 60kg its there and any confidence I had is gone. Deadlifts are a no at moment as enjoying rack pulls too much.
Meh, If you follow, you'll catch the drift.
Cheers
