thebigguy's Journal, 27 Jun 16

Last week I tried the fasting weight lifting technique and my neurotrophy bit me with a vengeance. I did not lift on Friday and Saturday of last week, and have been lacking in journal entries.

I kept up (and on most days surpassed) with the Kill 22 Challenge.

As for workouts, I went back to my oats and banana prior to workouts. Plenty of fuel in the tank for some explosive workouts (which is what I enjoy).

I will tape body measurements today as I believe will be a better indicator to my progress.

Today is the beginning of a 3 day Pull-Push-Legs split, twice a week, and continue with the Sunday rest.

Today was Back and Biceps with a 2 minute cardio rest between muscle groups. 10 movements and 1 superset. Total weight lifted was 25,100 pounds. Focus was minimal rest times between sets and 3 second negatives. I am feeling it for sure. Had to break out the Tiger Balm. :)

Tomorrow is Shoulders- Triceps- Chest with same focus. Two minute cardio for rest between muscle groups.

Going to the gym twice a day is getting to be too much, so will cut it down to once a day and cardio incorporated with the lift schedule and finish the day with an hour walk.

I adjusted my maintenance caloric intake and will continue to target 25% below with max carbs at 100g, and around 300g protein.

120.7 kg Lost so far: 24.0 kg.    Still to go: 16.3 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
