Targilnar Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 A Little BackgroundI'm a 30 year old Male Computer Programmer. I've tried dieting and working out before with some success. I went from 270 to 240 at one point in time. Then a job switch killed my workout schedule and I let it die off. Last week I weighed in at 302 lbs setting a new personal worst.Two months back I switched jobs again and that required a wardrobe change. Much to my disgust I had gone up about 4 waist sizes since the last time I had to dress business casual. I decided I was gonna change it up and then immediatly forgot about my resolution. Fast forward to last week, a couple I know wanted someone to show them how to freeweight exercises but didn't want to pay a trainer. So after about two years away from the gym (and gaining 60 pounds) I was finally back. After the first day I couldn't remember why I had ever stopped. I love the feeling I get from weight lifting. I was also turned on to the Nerd Fitness website last week. So after alot of reading around here I was convinced that carbs really aren't good for you. However I know I can't commit to a full Paleo diet while tyring to keep my willpower everything else but I wills tart making the healthier choices.I decided today that I wanted to track this more publicly and hopefully get some encouragement along the way. I'll be posting on here every workout day with the workout itself and my weigh in's and calories in between.Quick Note on loggingCalories/Carb Calories (Fruits and veggies)Weight X Reps 11/05/2013 Bench Press - 95x8, 95,9, 95x7Incline Fly - 15x10, 15x8, 15x10Dumbbell Kickback - 15x10, 15x10, 15x10 Dips (Assisted) - 130x6, 130x6, 130x7 Situps - 6, 0, 0Knee Raises (Each Leg) - 15, 15, 1511/08/2013Pulldown - 90x10, 100x9, 90x10Dumbbell Rows - 20x10, 25x10, 30x10, 30x14EZ Bar Curls - 60x10, 60x8, 60x10Squat (Body Weight) - 15, 15, 15Leg Extension - 90x10, 100x8, 100x10Hamstring Curl - 50x10, 70x10, 70x12Stiups - 10, 8, 7Knee Raise (Each Leg) - 15, 15, 15 MeasurementsNeck 16 7/8Biceps 15 1/2Shoulders 56 3/4Chest 46Stomach 53Waist 51Thighs 31Calfs 1711/12/2013Bench Press - 95x10, 95x10, 105x7Incline Fly - 15x10, 15x10, 15x10Dumbbell Kickback - 20x10, 20x10, 20x10, 20x8Pull Over - 25x10, 30x8, 30x8Dips (Assisted) - 130x8, 130x6, 130x6Deadlift - 95x10, 95x10, 95x10Calf Raises - 10, 15, 17Situps - Stopped after 2 from really bad painKnee Raises (Each Leg) - 18, 18, 1811/14/2013Weight 299Calories 900/0 (1 Apple) 11/15/2103Weight 297 (34% body fat, 196 lean)Daily Calorie Needs 3628 (using http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/)Calories 2430/350 (Berries for desert) Pulldown - 90x10, 95x10, 95x6Dumbbell Rows - 30x10, 30x10, 30x10, 30x12EZ Bar Curls - 60x10, 60x8, 60x7Arnold Press - 20x9, 20x9, 25x6Squat (Barbell) - 95x15, 90x11, 90x10Hammer Curl - 20x10, 25x8, 30x8Stiffleg Deadlift - 60x10, 65x11, 65x10Stiups - 6, 6, 6Knee Raise (Each Leg) - 18, 18, 18 â•”â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•¦â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•¦â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•¤â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•—â•‘ Level 2 â•‘ Stats â•‘ Challenges │ Support â•‘â•‘ Dwarf â• â•â•â•â•â•â•¤â•â•â•â•â•â•â•¬â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•ªâ•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•£â•‘ â•‘ Str │ 3 â•‘ 2nd Challenge │ The Wild Hunt â•‘â•‘ Adventurer 2 â•‘ Dex │ 1 â•‘ 1st Challenge │ Browncoats â•‘â•‘ â•‘ Sta │ 4 â•‘ 3rd Challenge │ Rivendell Walk â•‘â•‘ â•‘ Con │ 5 â•‘ │ â•‘â• â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•£ Wis │ 3 â•‘ │ â•‘â•‘ Food Log â•‘ Cha │ 3 â•‘ │ â•‘â•šâ•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•©â•â•â•â•â•â•§â•â•â•â•â•â•â•©â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•§â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â•â• Body fat % averaged from 3 sources.

Lyric Acantha Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Targilnars Tortuous Transformation - try saying that 3 times fast! Just wondering how you're going? Looked like you started off really well so hope you're still going strong! If it's important, you'll find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse.Don't sacrifice what you really want, for what you want right now.I resolve to not die with my dreams still inside me Link to comment
Targilnar Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 @Lyric Acantha - It's actually still going pretty good. I'm not working out quite as often as I wanted to but I still get in 2 days every week. When I get home tonight I'll find the paper copies of my workouts and enter them on here.
