tenaciousglee Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 In thinking through my goals for my 5th challenge, I couldn't help but revisit my first four challenges and see where I succeeded and where I fell short. I realized there are some goals that I didn't achieve, but I don't want to just drop them in the name of trying something new. So I'm starting this Battle Log to track my goals across challenges and have a central location to see how I'm doing. Level 1: [Grade: Incomplete] 1. Gain 5 pounds (started at 163.2 #, ended at 161#, ultimate goal is 175#) 2. Get my chest measurement to be bigger than my hip measurement (38.25" and 39") by finishing the Dumbbell Division Rank One (no change) 3.

tenaciousglee Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 THE SUMMER OF STRONGJune - August 2014 Re-booting the Daily Battle Log! After 14 six week challenges, I have noticed a pattern of losing focus/motivation after 3-4 weeks. So, I'm taking a break from the 6WC this summer to try my own month-long challenges. I'll set goals for June, July, and August and I should wrap up about the same time as the August-September 6WC. My theme for the 3 challenges is Summer of Strong. While my long term goal has been and continues to be packing on muscle, after reading Waldo's post on bulking, I've decided I'm not strong enough to start a true bulk yet. He has some standards listed on his site for basic levels of strength using bodyweight, so I'm going to try and focus on those this summer. 5 pull-ups (already there, currently can do 10+)1 one-armed push-up each arm60 second wall handstand (currently can do 30 seconds pretty easily)5 pistol squats each leg 15 second hanging leg raise hold (currently a sloppy 5 seconds) Here are my goals for June:1. Finish 45 days of PLP (currently on Day 17)2. Continue progress on Handstand Push-ups (will work on Dumbbell Overhead Press and wall handstands)3. Continue progress on Pistol Squats (Dedicated day on Friday, will work in negatives and assisted practice throughout the week)4. Try a scaled-down version of GOMAD (I know this is a bulking method, but I've been curious about it for a while and just want to give it a try) Workout PlanPLPV - every day (I added in V-ups for core work)Monday - Dumbbell Strength DayWednesday - Skills/Conditioning: work on some holds and do a 20-minute runFriday - lighter weight circuit work with bodyweight and dumbbells Quote Level 32 Minifig Jedi Assassin Current Challenge | Battle Log | "Epic" Quest Previous Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11.5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 "A man who wants to do something will find a way; a man who doesn't will find an excuse." -Stephan Dolley, Jr. "You don't get stronger by skipping workouts." - me, to myself, about 3 times a week Link to comment

TheCrimsonFist Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 4. Try a scaled-down version of GOMAD (I know this is a bulking method, but I've been curious about it for a while and just want to give it a try) I know some guys who have had good success with LOMAD (liter instead of a gallon). I think really just adding any increased amount of dairy to your diet will help tremendously with caloric intake and therefore with gainzzz Quote They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became a superhero.

I think really just adding any increased amount of dairy to your diet will help tremendously with caloric intake and therefore with gainzzz Yeah, my goal is HGOMAD3DAW. Half gallon of milk a day 3 days a week. I hit it on Monday and then missed on Wednesday. Will try again today. Of course, that only works out to 1.5 gallons a week as opposed to the Rx'd 7 gallons a week. Hopefully it's like you said, any increase will have some benefit. Edit: I just looked up how many cups are in a liter. I could totally do 4 cups a day.

TheCrimsonFist Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Bear in mind, the amount is going to be entirely dependent on your needs, so experiment with different quantities for a while if you need to. In my opinion, GOMAD is way overkill, but I think that is by design. It's impossible to not get enough calories if you're eating decently and then throwing a whole jug of milk on top of it. But finding your minimum effective dosage would probably be a wiser decision in the long-term Quote They told me I could be anything when I grow up, so I became a superhero.

QuirkyDM Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 The nice thing about PLP is that even if I stay up late the night before and chose sleep over my scheduled workout, I can still bust out a mini-workout in 10 minutes.I agree. I'm just starting PLP, but there's never an issue of time. You can do it pretty much anywhere, anytime and it only takes a few minutes. I have to think it has a lot of potential for carrying through to 60 days, or at least for a long time, because of the ease and simplicity of it. Hmmm, maybe I should add some core work in to my PLP, too. Keep up the good work. Quote Quirky DM My Battle Log: QuirkyDM going Quazy "Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure."

Phayze Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I think GOMAD would wreck my guts, but that's just me. Dairy and I have... history best left untold. The CF is right, I think, and it would be worth some experimenting to find your minimum effective dose. Cheaper, too, but then it's not like milk is pricey if you don't mind walking past the organic stuff.Looks like a solid plan. Looking forward to seeing where it takes you!

tenaciousglee Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Actually, my trick with GOMAD is lactose-free milk. I had 8 cups on Monday with no ill effects.

tenaciousglee Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Summer of Strong - Day 9 PLP - Day 24Pull-ups - 10, 10, 4Lunges - 10, 10, 4Push-ups - 10, 10, 4V-ups - 10, 10 4 Still haven't missed a day! It was a challenge this morning because I was young and dumb last night and went to a concert in DC and didn't get home until 2 AM. I then got up at 6 and did my PLP. I skipped my usual Monday morning workout, though. I may hit it tomorrow if I get to bed (aka collapse) at a reasonable time tonight.

tenaciousglee Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Summer of Strong - Day 10 PLP - Day 25sets of 10, 10, 5 Need to get back to my lifting. I had my alarm set for 5, but decided to skip the make-up day and just do PLP. Tomorrow's my usual run day, but if it's raining I'll lift tomorrow and run on Thursday. LOMAD isn't going well. I am not in the habit of drinking milk yet. I remembered to bring some to work with me last week, but haven't yet this week.
