I wanted to be 15% bodyfat by the end of july, but turns out I am 15% and it’s only the beginning.  Now I gotta make a newer, harder goal and get down to 12% by the end of August. Wow, me at 12%…I am gonna be a ****ing monster.

Decided a week ago to go back to carbohydrate cycling, as recommended by my doctor a few months ago.  I am very sensitive to carbs and my body over reacts by creating a **** load of insulin and by what Dr. Witt says, a hell of a lot more than it supposed to be creating.  While that is great for gaining muscle mass, it’s bad for my body because I am slowly becoming insulin resistant.  Carb cycling really is the best way for an endomorph to lose weight, regardless.  We hold a lot of extra cushioning, as we are genetically coded to survive better during a time of famine, though since we haven’t had one of those in a long ass time, I don’t know why the hell humans are still being born like this. >.>

Regardless, carb cycling has not been fun.  Carb loading/high carb day sucks ass because of the massive uptake of sugars in your body, causing ‘carbohydrate intoxication’ AKA, that feeling of complete lethargy and **** that takes hours and hours to subside, just to happen again the next time you have to carb load.  UGH

Regardless, I have had some interesting results.  The loss of a massive amount of stored water being just one.  I always feel better when I have less water on me because my weight is lower and the amount of stress on my circulatory system is lessened as a result.  It generally means more waking energy, though as no carb goes, less energy for lifting which sucks.  I refuse to lower the amount of weight I am lifting just because I am cutting.  I have to convince my body it needs to retain this muscle mass to acquire food and it’s the only way I can see doing it.

Today is the most dreaded day ever, Leg Day.  I can’t ****ing STAND working legs because not only does it completely beat my ass and make me feel weak, but my legs are sore for DAYS and DAYs after.  Regardless, without leg day, a good amount of fitness is lost and it must be done on schedule.  

Tonight I will be doing the following

Squat x4 for 15 reps at 300 lbs.
Leg Press x4 for 15 reps at 500 lbs.
Hack Squat x4 for 15 reps at 250 lbs. (burns my ass like nothing else)
Walking Lunges with 95 lb. dumb bells.
Seated Calf Raises x 5 for 15 reps at 320 lbs.
Standing Calf Raises x 5 for 20 reps with 115 lb. dumb bells
One Legged Calf Raises x5 for 20 reps with a 95 lbs. dumb bell in opposing hand
Toe Raises x5 for 120 lbs. on Toe Raise Machine
Straight Legged Deadlifts x4 for 6 reps at 500 lbs.
Dead Lifts x4 for 10 reps at 420 lbs.
Seated Leg Curls x4 for 13 reps at 220 lbs. (machine)

This shit nearly kills me every week. lol

I also started Novedex XT last night.  My high bodyfat means a lot of my testosterone generated from exercise means a lot of being transformed into estrogen.  I ****ing hate estrogen and can do without extra bitch juice running through me when trying to get lean and jacked.

Today is the beginning of a week long course the RPs and Chaplains are required to attend, meaning my ass has to stay at the office and do jack shit.  We have a civilian that works here as well, but I am not even sure she’s going to be coming in today or not.  I guess it means less stress and doing bullshit busy work, but at the same time I hate sitting around because it makes the day 20 times longer.  So now I have to be here from 0700 to 1700 (5 pm for you non military types).  Then I have to muster the energy to go to the gym until about 1830 for shoulders/traps/forearms.  So much for going home >.>

What I am doing tonight:

Arnold Presses: 70 lbs. dumb-bells for 10 x 4 sets
Side Laterals: 30 lb. dumb-bells for 12 x 4 sets
Forward Laterals: 30 lbs dumb-bells for 12 x 4 sets
Rear Laterals: 30 lbs dumb bells for 12 x 4 sets
Upright Rows: 110 lb. barbell for 12 x 4 sets
Military Presses: 75 lbs dumb bells for 10 x 4 sets
Shrugs: 135 lbs. dumb bells for 12 x4 sets
Shrugs (behind the back): 250 lbs. barbell for 12 x 4 sets
Wrist Curls: 70 lb. barbell for 12 x 4 reps
Reverse Wrist Curls: Same as above
Plate Pinch: Two 35 lb. barbell plates for 2 minutes each hand, x4 times
Wrist Roller: 35 lb. barbell plate.  Continual movement up and down for 2 minutes x 4

When you take as many supplements as I do, you just need a day away from the pills.  I take one of these every two weeks.  In the process, I eat very little and do a sort of PSMF diet for 24 hours so I can get rid of all the extra bullshit stored in my body that doesn’t need to be there…in this way, I normally lose a lot of excess water weight and generally feel a lot better by Monday.  The lack of caffiene always kicks my ass, especially when I am on duty tomorrow and have to get up extremely early and deal with morons until 2 pm.  This part will NOT be fun, but I will be better for it and probably even lose some fat in the process.

Had an excellent back workout this morning.  It was intense and all my lifts went up from last time, so either I am getting back my muscle memory or my mass is becoming more dense, allowing me to life more than ever before.  Regardless, it was nice.

However, now I am back at work and fighting mother nature.  I ****ing hate trees with a passion.  Bastards litter their shit all over the chapel, forcing me to have to blow it off continually or I get bitched at by the RPs, even though they never NEVER get off their asses and do any sort of work on the grounds. 

I just got done clearing the front of the chapel of leaves and I can bet you by the time services start, I have some ******* come into the office and bitch at me about leaves collecting in front of the door.  With the mood I am in, I am liable to tell the snooty **** to eat a dick and die in a fire (I won’t though, because that would probably get me arrested.  I just have to deal with being a slave for a while longer).

It wouldn’t be so bad if the trees would just die off already and drop all the leaves, but it’s a continual pain in my ass to deal with on a daily basis and with my raised testosterone levels thanks to heavy compound lifts, I am even more irritable than normal lately.

Tommorow:  Chest, Triceps

I am taking an unscheduled rest day today.  Normally I would be doing Legs tonight,  but with the fact that my entire upper body is sore as hell, I am scared of over training.  I also felt very under the weather this morning when I woke up, adding to the fear that I may have pushed myself a but too hard these last couple of days.  I’ll simply do legs tomorrow and hopefully the soreness in my glutes and hams will be gone from back day by that time.

Broken, Beat, and Scarred by Metallica 

You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
You rise, you fall, you’re down then you rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Rise, fall, down, rise again
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Through black days
Through black nights
Through pitch black insights

Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken beat and scarred
But we die hard

The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
The dawn, the death, the fight to the final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong
Dawn, death, fight, final breath
What don’t kill you make you more strong

They scratched me
They scraped me
They couldn’t rape me

Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Breaking your life, broken beat and scarred
But we die hard

Breaking your teeth on the hard life coming
Show your scars
Cutting your feet on the hard earth running
Show your scars
Braiding your soul in a hard luck story
Show your scars
Spilling your blood in a hot suns foray
Breaking your life, broken, beat and scarred
We die hard
We die hard
We die hard

I am seriously hoping the way I feel at the moment is due to morning dehydration.  I guess I won’t be taking anymore Relacore before bed, since the shit placed me into a coma that I can’t seem to wake out of fully this morning.  Figured because of my low carb low calorie diet it would be a good idea to take an anti-cortisol, but it won’t ****ing go away now that I need to be active at work >.<

I did my first carb depleting weight work out tonight and let me tell you, it wasn’t half bad.  I guess since you don’t have a whole lot of carbs being burned, you also don’t have a whole lot of lactic acid being developed.  So instead of an annoying and lasting burn, I have this weird ass warm feeling and weakness in the muscles I worked out (most of my upper body).  I have to keep that glycogen levels low to keep my body from filling up and then storing the extra as fat.  Seeing a show I am prediabetic, sugars are my enemy at the moment..so I have to force myself to keep them lower.
