Caferacer's new journal

[Caferacer]

Yeah figured I would start a new one here. Everythings going it. I'm a work in progress right now, rededicating myself, getting my diet in order, ect ect. As such some stuff isn't going to look 100% right, I'm working on it, but feel free to add. I'm not trying to clean bulk (can you tell?) just trying to get my weight and strength back up.

Today

203.8lbs

Meal 1
5 eggs
5 waffles
2 scoops whey
50mg caffeine (split tab)

Meal 2
Tortilla
3 hot dogs
Cheese

I know Ima get chit for the hotdogs. I checked em, 140 cals each, relatively low fat, and 12g protein each. Doesn't sound too bad for the price.

Meal 3
2 scoops whey
Crackers
Sausage

2 more meals to come


Workout: back
DL sumo. Somewhat light.
135X5
225X5
315X5
335X5
365X3 (belted) Felt good. Held my breath before the 4th rep too long trying to tighten my core against the belt, and didn't have any drive to get it off the ground. Oh well.

Lat pulldowns
12X8 (Easy)
14X6
13X6
12X6

13X8
12X7

Straight bar curls
85X8
85X6
75X8
(reverse)
65X10
(Normal)
65X8 (Dead!)

Weighted decline crunches
60X10
60X8

Done. Seal meal 3 for PWO food. I'm about 15 minutes from meal 4, and meal 5 is at around midnight. I'm thinking some chicken, rice, and a few other things I find in the pantry.

No supps right now, aside from caffeine tabs. Energy drinks got too expensive.

whats up bro...good to see you back on here. too bad you couldnt get in the bulkin contest for the summer. keep it up man..it'll come back.

[Caferacer]

Last night meal 4 was just some random stuff around the house. Got caught up in studying.

Meal 1 8am
5 waffles, whey protein, 50mg caffeine.

Meal 2 (I am cooking right now)
Tortillas, hot dogs, whey, fruit punch, and chips.

No workout today. Will keep updated.

Meal 3
Energy drink, tortilla and cheese (was strapped for time)

Meal 4
1500 calories worth of beef stroganoff. Girlfriend made it. Yes, it was delicious.

Usually I would have time for meal 3. I have class from 2:30 to 8:40 for summer classes, with a small 20 minute break between 2 classes. Usually it's been a 7-11 hot dog. Yes, a hot dog. Food is better than no food. Those things taste like shiate anyways.

Hey bud,

Could I make a suggestion? If your stomach can handle it, down the caffeine a little before your meal - probably 20-30 minutes. I'm guessing you're using it as a pick up in the AM and not as much for fat burning since you're already relatively lean. My thing is to pop some caff when my alarm goes off, hit snooze and then wake up 8-10 minutes later. It's amazing, but you're WIDE awake and you should spring out of bed.

Haha, I write that, but usually I take the tab as soon as I get up. I poke around a bit, take a shower ect ect before my meal so it's usually about 45 minutes earlier than my meal. See todays post for food update. Tomorrow is chest. Then 2 days after is legs. Hopefully I will get to pushing the 115lbs DB's

[Rickster]

what kind of hotdogs do you get? the ones i always see are high in fat....

[Caferacer]

12grams?

I eat about 3 a day at max. I'm not worried about the fact content.

Is your diet just junk food? Chips? cheese puffs? I know you are in college, and the funds are limited. I am in the same boat. Ground beef is relatively cheap. I can get 5.5lbs at walmart for about $15-17. It usually lasts me a week. Each pound has about 100g protein. Also, processed egg whites cost me $1.50 and contain 50g protein. Fish and chicken is usually too expensive to by alot of.

I already said I wasn't going to make excuses, what more do you want? I already know what needs to be done and how, but given the choice between crap or no food, I will eat the crap food just for the sake of calories. Especially since you made that assumption off of 3 days of log entries.

Well, now that classes have calmed down, I can focus on my true love My diet has picked up, both in cals and quality and my muscles have actually filled back up and I look more like how I remember myself. This was todays diet
