Get Huge Or Get Lost

[ZyklonB]

During this 40 day sprint, I'm going to be posting my meals at the end of the day...I roughly know how much carbs, protein & fat so the numbers will not be totally exact, but give or take 10 on each side.

Input is appreciated, I'm trying to retain muscle mass or grow while losing fat...I've done it before so its just a matter of sticking to the routine

Starting today is my 40 day/night training push to hit some personal goals.

Why 40 days? Cause Aug 4th is my 33rd b-day

I'll be doing cardio 30-45 minute session 7 days a week and weight training 4 days a week. Diet will be strict clean moderate complex carbs, high protein and low fat.

Still feeling crappy today but had to start w/ the planned session.

Cardio

Type: Elliptical
Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 1.55
Kcals: 637

Never done the elliptical before, kinda weird motion, but damn I burned a shitload of kcals, alot more than treadmill or bike.

You starting a cut Z? I'm giving it a shot as well. Good luck on your goals!

[ZyklonB]

Yup Ima cut it up, last time I lost muscle mass b/c my carbs were too low.

I figure if I do lots of cardio, I can get away with complex carbs to help w/ the protein to retain muscle.

[Louisianamuscle]

Compared to me your normal cardio is lots. This will be my first time cutting. My approach will be a slow cut. I'm in no hurry, so a pound or two a week is fine. Got to get rid of this damn gut. Wife is driving the shit out of me.

[ZyklonB]

Good luck bro, the diet is the hardest part for me...get so damn tired of chicken beef rice and eggs...lol

[Dkalban]

Got to get rid of this damn gut. .

You and me both

Good luck bro, the diet is the hardest part for me...get so damn tired of chicken beef rice and eggs...lol

Gah, i just had dinner and reading that made me hungry again lol.

For me portion size is my problem. The 6-8 oz. portion size is more 10-12 oz. So, now I'm hungry after I eat.

I think for me its more the fact Im just getting started again. I want to lean down while building muscle and then bulk cleanly back up. Sick and tired of never having seen abs on me all my life, including at my skinniest.

I hear ya, cutting down the size doesn't leave you full for long...

You just have to decide to do it and understand the time it entails.

This schedule will take me about 12 hrs a week and being at the gym by 5am twice a week...but hey I see people tear shit up at 3am like WB.

If you can handle it, try doing 45 minutes on the eliptical at a moderate pace. You'll burn twice as many calories in that time frame. The only thing that sucks is your feet will start falling asleep 20 minutes into your session.

Big agree from me here. Ellipticals always been my favourite, but the one at my 24/7 gym sucks balls.

That's funny I did elliptical this morning, burned a ton and my left foot went to sleep yeah about 25 min in.

Put resistance around 4-6 and HR about 125-135.

Thx for the input bro!

x2 , this one is a little wobbly so I tightened up the left side.

Same with me.

My only outlet has been 4 hours of video gaming straight after a meal, or working on my car. Otherwise I'm walking around like a zombie forcing myself not to rummage through the cupboards and fridge searching for something with zero calories to at least fill myself up.

Carbonated water works fine for an hour or so, but after that its game on with my stomach.
