Journey, Not A Destination

I'd imagine that'd be true - about the libido thing... maybe I should give anorexia a shot... aww hell who am i kidding i like food way too much...
 
yeah loss of libido can be a nasty side effect, though at least for a girl she can just lay there and take it :D

Damn it Mal, now i have visions of somebody going for an 8lb crap now ... MUST....GET....OUT...OF...My...HEAD!
 
Gotta wonder about a person's priorities though -i know physique and looking good is important -but -ummm - don't most people do it to score babes? So if you can't umm - perform - well -what a disappointment...

That wasn't a you in the you sense of the word more of a generic you - the general musclebound population :)
 
The general muscular, lean person has their libido.

It's those that take it to the extreme like physique competitors. And even then, they don't stay like that year round. Most, in fact, diet down 12 weeks out from their show.

An anorexics.....

well.....

They just have all sorts of things wrong.
 
Diet update:

Weight tonight ended at 195.

Have no idea what any of it means but all interesting.

I'm feeling leaner already but it could all be in my head.

I went to the grocery store tonight and carbs were definitely screaming my name. The biggest craving I had while there, for some reason, was for those chocolate chip cookies wth M&Ms in them.

Wow, I can't wait for my refeed.
 
Ithink steve is now beginning to under stand the pmsing female :) and the need for cookies :) though that's 99.99 percent mental - it's that .01 percent that overrides everything else...

I peaked inthe window -you're looking lean and mean..
 
Humor me and stay above 188 please -either that or I have to get my butt in gear... I'm a much happier person when you weigh more than I do :) not that it matters becuase i have more fat in my head than you h ave on your entire body -it's the principal of the thing :)

I just never restricted myself to the extent that I craved foods.

I've dieted big time before but my diets always consisted of goodies.

And I'm not lean yet.

Not a chance.

At least I don't think.
 
Weight this morning was 193.

I'm surprised actually that I haven't lost more. I haven't tracked calories once. I did a rough estimation when I started but my food intake is changing by the day. I just make sure I get adequate protein, veggies, and fats in and wherever the calorie are, they are.

Maybe I should calculate them today!
 
193? wow what a lardass you are :D


Now go sit in the corner and pout -

then eat a handful of oreos because clearly your hard work isn't getting you anywhere..

Then post 3 threads asking why you aren't losing weight... :)

Then - ooh yeah - weigh yourself every 2 hours to see if it changes :)
 
I'd do some speed work... and this might be something you throw in on your leg day and more core work to your pull day... it all depends on your recoverability. But assuming you are training for athletic prep, speed work is excellent. You can do things with ladders or cones. Shuttle runs, jumps and bounds, etc.

Or doing stuff with unusual objects, like woody bags for example. Especially if we're talking about wrestling and grappling.

Bottomline is your training should be very specific for what you're trying to accomplish 'on the field.'

And sometimes trying to improve everything all at once is counter-productive. If this is what you find to be the case, I think you should start focusing on improving one or two qualities and moving everything else to maintenance. Then you cycle through each of the qualities in a rotational basis.

This is why I post in this journal.

Speed work on leg day is a great idea. Not only am I training speed, but I'll be training speed with fatigue already built in, which is going to be a condition I'm gonna have to deal with. Maybe i'll work in a plyo set too. Haven't thought about plyo in a looong time.

Also, the unusual objects is SUCH a great idea. Maybe I'll get in some car pushes (having your buddy randomly tap the brakes to reset the momentum makes it even better), or just run by play it again and see what sort of random crap they have. If all else fails, I can just go get a bag of cement.

About the muscle pump discussion, you said something along the lines of having done a little reading a long time ago, but then dropped it... with all the women around here, the pages move so quickly, so I let it go.

When I was training for sport, I always included some speed work. And training with unusual objects is amazing. In college, our backyard had a gauntlet of shit we'd run.... kegs, sandbags, tires, etc. Good stuff.

Let me know how you make out.

Touché.
