Goodwince - 5/3/1 Beginnings

[goodwince]

Fitness

Strength

Already started my first cycle of 5/3/1, I plan to go through 5/3/1 one and a half waves. 

 

Technique

Plan to record 3 separate video days of my squats

 

Nutrition – Carb Nite

Already started as soon as I got back from Alabama.. So that was on Wednesday the Second. So I'm basically Keto ( < 30 grams of carbs) for 10 days. I'll be eating my first Carb Nite on Saturday the twelfth. Goal of one carb-nite/week preferably on the weekend. No screwing up! I get one day a week to eat like ****.

 

On top of that for the next six weeks to really gainfully make progress on losing weight and not have any terrible hormone issues I won't drink for the entire six weeks.

 

Progress Stats

Implement monthly progress tracking. Because I'm lazy and I need to at least do something. I'm going to start a monthly progress photo. Already took my first one. Will take another one in exactly one month. I need to set a reminder for this as well.

 

Life Goal

Keep Calm and Carry On.. I mean continue working long hours with my side project for a local startup. Quite exciting and fun to be apart of it. I'm just enjoying learning the ropes of starting your own business from scratch while building something awesome. I've loved watching the transformation.

 

Note: Most of these goals aren't anything new.. and may not classify as well on the NF goals, but this is my plan I just like the challenges!

[elefevers]

woo! excited to get this going again.  Looking forward to keeping up with ya

[70Kel]

Woohoo big heavy sets for you & I will be keeping you to one carb night a week! Beer has carbs you know??

[goodwince]

Sweet guys! Great to have ya'll watching! I need to update my signature.. I just tried Kel's and realized that the new update killed all links!! I'm going to attach my current lifting plan here soon. It's an excel spreadsheet so it'll be more for my own benefit! 

 

So far I've come close to more than 30 carbs over the weekend, but made it! Sunday was right at 30 carbs because I ate some peanuts.. 

 

Today's some chicken in coconut oil with broccoli so I should be pretty safe! 

 

Kels.. don't remind me beer has carbs, I guess I should've added that for this entire six weeks I don't plan to have one drink!

Woohoo 5/3/1 and carb nite.  Careful not to tire yourself out too much on the 5/3/1ing while carb niteing -- something I've seen folks talk about before.

 

Also, not just for paleo:

I loved 5/3/1 and plan on doing it again soon. Good luck!

OMG.. that's seriously awesome Catspaw!! I'll have to check out that website. Perfecto! This is great because my girlfriend is trying to eat paleo and I'm trying to go all carb nite. I'll keep the tiredness acknowledged. I'll just try to keep my fats high to avoid it the issue!

 

I loved 5/3/1 and plan on doing it again soon. Good luck!

 

Caution, what're you doing now?

[Caution]

I'm going to give SL 5x5 a shot for the this and the next challenge (starting today), then back to 5/3/1. I just needed some variety. Are you planning on doing BBB?

[goodwince]

Actually yes I am doing BBB. Those are extra sets are killer and I need to work on form on squats so I figure it'll pay off! Plan to video that stuff. Perhaps I should've created better goals. Left out drinking, left out my videoing. 

[elefevers]

Hey, its been awhile, we can slack a little bit on the goals this challenge.

Don't worry Elefevers you are officially on 'challenge lite' for this one I will keep Goodwince accountable!! Ps with your support of course:-)

Still time to put them in, going completely cold turkey might be hard though?? Why I left a bit of leeway, still need to have a little bit of a life........

Haha. Challenge lite. I thought I was being lite this challenge, but now my goals are coming together and it looks like quite a bit.

Nah.. I mean I consider this slacking. After last challenge where I was finishing up SS and did a PvP. A brutal PvP I might add. I BARELY won and I increased my squat from 250 to 330..

You mean cold turkey on the drinks? Eh, if you knew how much I drank over Christmas you'd probably tell me to take a break lol. I gained 10 pounds (4.5 kg) in beer I think. I'm the heaviest I've been in awhile. 196 pounds (89 KG)

 

I'm actually jealous of you elefevers. You could eat crazy amounts and easily gain a crapload of strength :] Pretty exciting stuff!

I'm the same way, heaviest I've been in awhile (I weighed in at 184 this morning). The wife and I took a week vacation during that time, rented a cabin far out of town, played video games , ate and drank our faces off the whole week. Nothing like 4-5 weeks of work for 1 week of play

That sounds like you gauged yourself on beer 24-7, lol. So ok no MOAR beer for Goodwince, I'm keeping you accountable this challenge, no drinking!

 4 to 5 weeks for 1 week is nothing! You guys had fun.. just don't let it sink your ship! :] You've got this good sir. Let's get to it!

Generally from about 8 pm to 2 am I was drinking. We actually ran a bar out of the type of beer my buddy and I was drinking (small bar). New Years I drank soo much, we created a new beer pong-like game. Didn't stop till 5:30 and my DD (my buddies girlfriend) left us both in the car haha. We both woke up at like 9 at the wonderment of day light. So yes! I want to be held accountable!! :] I want to make it to March, but I can at least make it till the end of this challenge! Will do Kel and I record everything on MFP.. I was quite the haphazard person today and kept testing my limits on carbs.. even ate a few chips. Still didn't go over. 

 

Calories - 1960

P - 180

F - 130

C - 17

[goodwince]

Sigh.. weight I need to lose. I have to put up my pic! In all honesty.. I wanted to make it smaller because of what I don't want to see haha. 

 

196 pounds

 

It's depressing too because I look back at my previous pics and see some awesome definition forming. It also excites me because I know I'll be there again soon. If this doesn't work I've always got the return of leangains! 

 

Looking at my back image, I'm really needing a tattoo back there haha. 

[elefevers]

It says I don't have permission to view :[.  And I've been wanting a tattoo on the back of my shoulder for AGES.  I just can't decide what I want for the rest of my life lol 

[goodwince]

Well that makes ALOT of sense.. I can't freaking view my own attachments to change it. I will just reupload when I get home. How freaking lame. Lol.

 

Edit: Also, created a bug report for this issue.

[Hermione Gainser]

Hey there! I came to see if you were trying the Carb Backloading or the Carb nite.  Boyf is trying backloading so I wanted to pick your brain. Did you try it?  It seems interesting. 

 

Good luck on the challenge!

A brutal PvP that inspired like...everyone. Good jorb at the PvP last challenge and good luck with things this time

I didn't know others were watching? It inspired me. I'm addicted.

 

I'm willing to spend soo much time coming up with dietary guidelines for a diet version of the same PvP. I literally refused to miss a workout going out of my way to make sure I hit it. I added workouts safely whereever possible. I mean it was intense! I think points based challenges with someone of similar standing is excellent for at least my own progress.

This is like 1984, Big Brother is always watching... When I get back into my heavy lifts we will have to PvP!

I'm cool with the watching. I mean I was just surprised that people were paying attention haha. It seemed like only a few made it known! I know I loved it and would enjoy a new PvP as well. Right now I'm just sticking to 5/3/1 training and eventually I'll decide if I enjoy it enough as the best for pushing my gains. One day I should attempt a 1 RM lmao.

How have I missed this for so long? 

 

Yay 5/3/1! I have to say, I did a couple of workouts with Chad and his 5/3/1 stuff and I was really jealous of how easy and simple the program was. I was tempted, but I don't want to do OHP or Bench to my maxes lol. 

 

And carb nite should be fun, kinda what I was thinking if I did do some sort of IF thing. Its like the easy way out! 

 

Now to subscribe so I don't miss it again
