Ok, here's the last 4 days of diet and the 2 first 10% solution workout:
Feast day 14 - January 28 2011
No training, 3000 calories target
Achieved:
3343 calories
107g fat (30%)
328g carbs (37%)
265g protein (33%)
Carbs composition
246g complex (75%)
46g sugar (14%)
36g fibre (11%)
When at the restaurant with some friends and I had a 12 oz filet mignon, that explains the protein and the calories excess...
Feast day 15 - January 29 2011
1st 10% solution training (bench) with calories downward spiral 2nd step:
diet goal: 3000 calories on, 2700 off (always 40-30-30)
Achieved:
3209 calories
97g fat (28%)
219g protein (28%)
324g carbs (44%)
Carbs composition:
272g complex ( 75%)
60g sugar (17%)
31g fibre (9%)
Diet was off target again mainly because of the carbs. I am guilty of following the pregnant cravings. It's hard to look at my girl eating all day telling me: "you want some?"... I need to take action on this because this lean bulking will transform in pure bulking!
Training
According to the 10% solution calculation grid, my first bench workout is 3 sets of 3 reps with 215 lbs. That's not a lot for me... so I did:
Barbell bench press: 225x3x3 - Very easy...
EDT #1: incline dumbbell press - dumbbell row, 90 lbs dumbbells each
6,6,7,8,8
6,6,7,8,8 I did sweat a bit but overall I underestimate my strength. I will try more reps next time. total EDT time was 12 minutes
EDT #2: seated dumbbell shoulder press - upright barbell row, 53lbs dumbbells and 75 lbs barbell
6,7,8,8,8 Way too easy...
6,7,8,8,7 in 13 minutes total. Easy at the beginning, little bit hard on last set. I will blast that EDT with lots of reps next WO too!
Decline close grip barbell bench press static hold:
225x15 seconds --> easy (my spotter was impress by this static hold thing, I think it was the first time he saw this. It was my first time doing this too)
245x15 seconds --> no as easy but will try more next time.
Total workout time was 67 minutes. Weight as 246 after WO.
Feast day 16 - January 30 2011
No training
Diet target: 2700 calories
Achieved:
2850 calories
121g fat (41%)
167g protein (25%)
234g carbs (34%)
Carbs composition:
192g complex (82%)
30g sugar (13%)
12g fibre (5%)
Diet analysis: I ran out of hemp protein this week end. I did ordered some more last Tuesday (with NOW Gaba) but haven't receive them yet. That explains the very low fibre. Sunday for dinner, me and my pal cocked for our girls a Mediterranean meal: garlic butter snails with cheddar cheese for appetizer, salmon with white sauce for main meal with a side dish of Greek salad (olive oil, olive, mushroom, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, tortellini, balsamic vinegar, feta cheese) and white Masi wine. --> way too much fat!
Side note: no soreness still...
Feast day 17 - January 31 2011
10% solution squat workout, 3000 calories as target
Achieved:
3266 calories
109g fat (32%)
235g protein (30%)
319g carbs (38%)
Carbs composition:
272g complex (75%)
60g sugar (17%)
31 fibre (9%)
Diet analysis: still no hemp protein, fibre total is a bit low but not problematic. My girl and I went to the restaurant to celebrate the first ultrasound diagnostic. Baby is alive and kickin'! I ate in excess, again
Training:
Squat (according to the 10% solution calculus table) 3 set of 3 reps with 285 lbs. did them all pretty easy. Are this calculus table right?
EDT for lower body: Romanian dead lift225 lbs - hack squat with 270 lbs
6,6,6,5,5
6,6,6,6,5 in 14 minutes total.
Rack pull static hold:
405 x 15 seconds, not to hard
445 x 14 seconds, could have done 15, next time I will try 455.
Static abs crunch
205 x 15 seconds, easy
220 x 15 seconds, still not hard. I will try to max out the pulley next time (240 or so)
Total workout time was 59 minutes. Weight was 247.
Feast day 18 - February 1 2011
No training today. No soreness too. Feel good, slept well. I will try really hard not to go over the prescribe 2700 calories for today. I will report diet macros at the end of the day or tomorrow.
