ElbowRocker Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks Ash! Food - Tuesday, October 21st. Eggs, sausage, chicken soup, cauliflower. Workout day.Calories: 2,779 / 2,660Carbs: 66 / 67Sugar: 38 / 16Protein: 200 / 166Fat: 183 / 192Pretty good for a workout day. Sugar was high but it all came from good sources, nothing processed. The wife found some awesome sausage that only has pork, water, salt, and spices. It can be so hard to find sausage without sugar, so I'm stoked about this. Yay more meat options!

I've got a feeling that things are gonna taper off here for a bit. I may look into other programs in the off week(s) to see whats out there. Thanks! #toolegittoquit Quote Link to comment

ElbowRocker Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Workout #16, done Tuesday 10/22. 3x5 day is good for the ego.BOR:5 reps with bar (45lb)5 reps @ 555 reps @ 655 reps @ 755 reps @ 855 reps @ 955 reps @ 1055 reps @ 1155 reps @ 1253 reps x 5 @ 135Deadlift:5 reps @ 655 reps @ 805 reps @ 955 reps @ 1155 reps @ 1255 reps @ 1355 reps @ 1455 reps @ 1855 reps @ 2055 reps @ 2255 reps @ 2455 reps @ 2555 reps @ 2655 reps @ 2753 reps x 5 @ 285If I counted correctly, I did around 80 total reps. It didn't really feel like work until about 185 though. The lighter sets and small jumps indicate that I'm going along with the wife; I'm pretty proud of her for hitting 145 lbs! After that I started making the larger jumps. Hands felt good, grip felt good, although at the higher weights I did have to shake them out a bit. Still loving the chalk, still using double overhand the whole way. Felt good post workout but pretty well drained. I think I probably could've gotten 300 lbs for one rep, but I'm sure I'll make it there soon enough. No rush.#goodworkout#nobarkingdog#nosmog#ifIatebreakfastIwoulddefinitelyhaveitwithhog#todaywasagoodday Quote Link to comment

ElbowRocker Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 GAAHH! Well, I finished strong but I forgot to log food on Saturday and Sunday. First misses of the challenge. I got my workouts in though. I'll go back in and post as I can. I was gone all weekend and I'm about to go visit the in-laws in New Orleans for a week, so I'll likely be pretty quiet. Plus tapatalk doesn't want to play with my phone anymore, WTF. Anyway, did good, be back with details. #rushed#sorushed#notime Quote Link to comment

I figured I'd get three reps or so and fail. Here's what happened.10 reps @ 3005 reps @ 3003 reps @ 3003 reps @ 300Craziness. I was a bit surprised when I hit 5 reps, but pretty shocked when I got the 10th out (barely). Then I decided to do more sets because why not? Gotta get at least 20 reps in.BOR:5 reps @ 45Got really bored with that warmup set and my back wasn't feeling the bent over rows at this point, so I finished with Bear Complex(es).BEAR!:5 reps @ 455 reps @ 755 reps @ 955 reps @ 115At this point, I was cooked. Good day but I'm so confused now. Really self, WTF? Am I over-repping on my normal deadlift sets? Too much warmup? #? Quote Link to comment
