Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i hit a milestone today. i got my first dislike on my log. it's all good, i never claimed to know everything and i am still learning myself and i will be the first to point out that their are tons of ways to skin this cat and what i do and what you do could be night and day different but they both may still work. either way this is my way and it is the least painful and most productive for myself and the countless people that i work with. so if you dont like it then sit back have an open mind and maybe learn something

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i love this post!!! you told me about that scale awhile a go. still being cheap and using my plain jane scale. thanks brotha

hey man a scale is pretty much a scale as long as it's digital and does grams and oz. so no worries there. i actually gave away my old plan jane one a few weeks back

i love this post!!! you told me about that scale awhile a go. still being cheap and using my plain jane scale. thanks brotha

ok so here are some of the tools and tricks i have picked up and learned over the years to make life much much easier:

digital scale: i use the one from kitchen guru. you put in a code for your food and it gives you the full nutrition values. it will also track all of your macro intake for the day
foreman grill: it pulls the fat out from your ground meat and is very easy to cook on
stone wear non stick omlete pan with lid. very easy to clean and nothing sticks, no spray necessary
extra large cookie sheets: use these for cooking pounds of fish at a time in the oven
crock pot: you can cook and keep your fish chicken beef or whatever very moist and tender with this bad boy. turn it on and leave it
rice cooker: i steam all my rice and veges in this bad boy. same as crock pot, turn it on and forget about it
blender/food processor: i just upgraded to the ninja system and it is fantastic. i had an oyster one that was both blender and processor from walmart that worked very very well also
wet/dry measuring cups: lots of these cause you can never find them. get the ones that the measures are stamped on and not written. the writing wears off haha
lemon/lime squeezer: like a pair of pliers. makes getting lemon or lime juice very easy early in the am
waffle iron: make protein pancakes and waffles on this from time to time to change it up

ok a good trick i picked up for consuming lots and lots of protein, beef/chicken mainly. go ahead and grill up some steaks or chicken breasts. cut into cubes and toss them into the processor and blend them down to a pulled pork consistency. add sauce and toss into a tuperware container. it is fast to eat and digests fast as well.
carbs in a pinch: process your oats into a fine powder. add in some cinnamon or whatever you want to flavor it with. toss that in a shaker and add water. cup of carbs to go

problems with moisture in your chicken fish or steak. i will make up a aluminum foil packet toss in some meat with jalepenos or some veges and wrap it tight. throw it on the grill for 20 min each side and it steams the meat and traps the moisture in very well. you can also do this with various marinades as well

i will put up new stuff as i go but right now i am drawing a blank. throw up any questions and it may jog my mind a little bit

great workout but i hit a few snags here and there. today it seemed like every movement i had planned out someone stepped in front of me using the equipment or area i needed and of course it was the ones that speed forever doing whatever it is they do which is pretty much waste time. so i was pretty irate and irritated for the majority of the session. i did get a couple pretty good breaks between movements but that is a pain when i am trying to push fast. probably what bothers me the most is i switched my routine around to be opposite everyone else and now everyone is switching to my sched. great pump moved some really good weight. so it was a success either way.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Hop in a bath with Epsom Salts and you're sore muscles will fade away.

i do once or twice a week but my body is freaky weird and epson salt normally brings water out to my skin and makes me very smooth. i have to be hurting pretty good to do it more than once or twice a week. we have two 5lb bags of a really good smelling epson salt that my wife uses about every day

chest/bis
10 min treadmill warmup
rotator cuff work
db decline press 40x15 50x15 60x15 80x10 95x10 95x10 95x9 (this was supposed to be a weight that was just short of failure on rep 10. i think i dialed it in pretty well even though i missed the final set)
incline bb press 135x5 155x5 185x5 205x5 225x5
hs incline press 70x10 95x8 ds 50x8 (these were done with a hard 2 sec squeeze on the contraction and a 2 sec hold at the bottom with a full chest of air and chest up for a nasty stretch)
pec minor dips x18 x16

cross body curls 20x20 30x20 40x20 50x20
db hammers 25x20 35x20 40x15 45x15
done for the day

legs are super tight and glutes and lower back are brutally sore. so sore that they hurt to touch. so i would say yesterday's leg thrash was a good one for sure.
i also eliminated my zero carb days and added in 50g of carbs with my first meal yesterday to add a few extra cals in. most 200lb people burn off about 200 + carbs sitting around so i am pretty sure i am burning those 50 off pretty quick but it is some added in cals for now.

meal lineup
1 lemon squeezed in 16oz of water

16oz tilipia
50g cream of rice with tablespoon sugar free jelly
