Decline close grip barbell press 165x12
Skull cruch 85x10
Lying triceps extensions 45x9

Do I need to tell you what set was easy and which one was hard? :)

A. No, everything looks great!

Total training with warmup took 29 minutes

I skipt the last banana because it just won't go down and the last cup of milk to keep protein total low.

I really start to feel the appetite at lunch time. Co-workers meals where smelling intensely good! I also notice some DOMS from monday workout in the morning. I when for a walk with the dog between workout and dinner and after that, calf felt tight.

Famine day 4 - January 13 2011

Rest heart rate this morning was 63 BPM (+5 from last week)

Triceps are already hurting from yesterday workout.

Woke up this morning hungry as hell. Look at my banana and didn't feel hunger that much... it's been 1 hour since my breakfast and I am already super hungry! This famine is starting to get loooooooooong.

I have been invited to a dinner with friends Friday night. An all you can eat chinese fondue. Tell my buddy that we will be there but only my girl will eat :cry: or maybe I could start re-feeding after famine workout #3 :roll:

Anyway, I will go for a 40 minutes LISS after work because I still feel I have great energy and mood.

I finally did 10 minutes of bike and 20 minutes of eliptic for an approx 300 calories burn. Weight after cardio was 239.5 lbs so -2.5 from last friday but -3.5 from monday.

I do believe i need to perform the 3rd famine workout and that doesn't bother me at all.

Can i start re-feeding after the workout or should i wait for Saturday morning?

Your call on workout #3. I respect that...

Given you're going to do that (and your own personal situation) I'm going to deviate slightly and say YES to the re-feed immediately afterwards.. :)

Ok... Let me first state that I have been a bad boy yesterday. (more on that later)

Famine day 4 - January 13 2011

Diet

Calories: 1984

Proteins: 34g (8%)
Fat (8%)
Carbs (84%)

Fibers (13%)
Sugar (43%)
Complex (46%)

My friend who was unemployed since november call me at 7pm to tell me that we add a job interview Monday and that they call him back Wednesday. The new is he should get the job pretty soon. So wanted me to go celebrate with him and I did with some other friends of us. I had three beer :oops: Feels like I had 12 though... That may explain my super high rest heart rate this morning.

On a good note. I notice this morning it took me 12 minutes to cut my veges and pack my lunch box. Monday took 20 minutes for the same thing. [open.sarcasm] Soooooo bad this famine is coming to an end! [/sarcasm] I was getting good at this.

Can't wait to eat meat tonight!

Workout motivation song of the day: Divine Heresy - Letter to mother (despite the name, this song is some good metal!)

Well it's not a restaurant but a friend house. Chinese fondue all you can eat!

Your assignment: Eat so much food that the loss prevention flag is raised.

That is to say, I'm calling for a minimum 1 year "banned" status from that establishment.

Ideally a lifetime ban but 1 year, no less.

Great work :)

Famine day 5 - January 14 2011

Workout #3 was very intense despite the light weight I used. Did all 5 sets of 15 on squat/dumbbell row but only managed to do 4 sets on cable row/pulldown and 4 sets on biceps. I am shy writting the amount of weight...

Got back home and satisfied myself with a shake of the fellowing: 1 scoop mass pro whey berries and cream, 2.5 scoops of mass pro amino, 1 scoop 40g of waxy maize. I had to stop myself not down the drink in one sip. 1 hour after that, I felt energized as hell!

So when at my friend place and I eat like 500g of steak with potatoes, veges, ceasar salad, two glass of red wine. When to bed at midnight.

I slept for 9 hours straight. Got up to make a 1000 calories breakfast. took my first serving of alkaplex green+ and ecdysten with a multi life and 2 gels of fish oil.

3 hours later I had a lunch with my first serving of kre-anabolyn and again 1 gel of fish oil, 1 multi life and 1 cap alkaplex green+

Tonight I will go at my sister place for dinner. We will have a "raclette grill" meal with lots of meat. This feast is beginning well! Then it will be Adaptagen N and sleep.

Will report macros tomorrow.

FANTASTIC work making it through man.

And that MASS laced shake does really deliver the goods. It's a little Formula in it's own right.

Tested it on the glucometer too. Makes a BIG difference vs. generic BCAA's, etc..

Goal:

3600 calories
270g proteins (30%)
360g carbs (40%)
120g fats (30%)

Achieved:

3314 calories
220g proteins (27%)
313g carbs (35%)
138g fats (38%)

Carbs composition:

198g complex (63%)
86g sugar (27%)
29g fibers (9%)

Needed some adjustment to be on target (too much fat, not enough fibers protein and carbs total). Muscles began feeling full already.

Feast day 2 - January 16 2011

Goal: same as above

Achieved:

3366 calories
268g proteins (33%)
361g carbs (39%)
101g fats (28%)

Carbs composition

202g complex (56%)

Much better diet day but still not exactly on target. Butt and hamstring muscles are still sore from Friday 3rd famine workout. Muscles feels pump though. Kre-Anabolyn and/or ecdysten doing there thing already?

Feast day 3 - January 17 2011

Completely psycht this morning! Second dose of Adaptagen N before going to bed yesterday and I had the best night sleep since a long time. 8 straight hours of deep relaxing sleep. Only 2 caps :shock: Can't wait for tomorrow 1st feast bridge workout. Everything is in place I keep an eye on my diet trying to get it to where it should be. My diet is really as clean as possible as I try to avoid process foods and restaurants as much as possible. The only exceptions are bread, bagel, cereals and cheese everyday and some sausages I had Saturday for dinner.

Muscles are not sore anymore.

I will report today's macros later on.
