How's the protein coming along?

I was outta town sat-sun so I didn't hit my goals but I'm not phased by it.

Back on track today, ezpz

Today was a good one, 2.5 hour workout. I eat a lotta crap on tuesdays for my reviews so I make sure to try and burn a lotta calories. Here's what I did:

Bench: 137.5 for 5 sets of 10 reps

This felt salad, I'm glad it did. It felt easier than last week.

Push press: 35 plates in each hand for 5 sets of 10 reps

I just don't do any kind of overheard press work so I wanna get back into it as much as my shoulders will let me. This felt fine.

6 mile walk

Took about 1 hour 25 minutes. Felt ok.

I burned 1460 calories in 155 minutes

Life is good, WIM

I worked out today. First I did:

Powercleaners: 137.5 for 30 singles

Set my stop watch and did a rep every 30 seconds. Finished in exactly 15 minutes. Good cardio/lolCF

Then I went and got whipped at racquetball again. Pretty salad cardio

Overall I burned 800 calories

Diet is going pretty good. Today before work looks like:

Protein shake (90p)
In N Out 4x4 (66p)
Protein shake (90p)

So I don't have too much more protein to get and plenty of calories left to get there.

Mr Fondew, is it safe to say the main reason you cardiotard is so that you can swill some drank

I played some racquetball yesterday too, I might make it a regular thing if you wanna step your game up next time I come up there to we can party time on the court

Good question. Some days it turns out that way. But:

I've been drinking a lot less lately. All this protein kinda sets my stomach off weird and drinking rarely sounds good. I usually drink the most on Sundays where I do zero cardio and only get 150-200g protein.

I would say in order of why I cardiotard:

1: eat more. I like eating, but it's tough to get 300g protein at 2500 cal if I want it to taste good. Burning 500-1000 cal makes it easier

2: I like the way I feel during and after

3: the drinkin

Also I'm teh suck at racquetball but I like competition so it's on

JF: review of the Oban 12yo, if you've tried it? Was given a bottle last week but haven't cracked it yet

Oban 12 is a go to for me, I almost always have a bottle on the shelf. Or something has gone wrong. I don't really know how to properly review whisky, so I'll let JFon elaborate. 31/37 tho.

cool, probably have some while watching football tonight. will report score

Oban 12? I think I've only ever had the 14... Do they even have a 12?

Anyway, it's quite tasty. I haven't had it for a while but it's got the standard honey/vanilla/toffee/caramel flavors. It's pretty smooth, I'd prefer it at probably +3% more ABV. Goes well with a tiny splash of cool water, like a couple drops.

I was at a casino bar a while back and I was drinking Maker's Mark. After a few of those I asked the bar tender what decent scotch was available, she said she had some Oban 14 hidden. Turns out, same price as the Maker's. I was very happy to pay the same I was paying for Maker's, but also pretty annoyed I hadn't done it sooner.

And it's pronounced 'OH-bun' not 'oh-BAHN' like a lot of dummies try to say

Oh yeah. 14.

I should prob get my dad a bottle of it for his birthday that was a couple days ago.CatReadingPaper.jpg

Just to log in the day:

I did 14 push-ups every 15 minutes while watching football for 10 rounds. Slowly building it up.

Breakfast: Protein shake 450 cal/90p
Lunch: 4 pork chops 680 cal/120 p
Dinner: 6 servings buffalo chicken strips 1080 cal/96p
Served with: 4 cups skim milk: 360 cal/36p

pretty salad day.

Except I didn't eat my veggies.

Push-ups on a bulk is like hulk status if you go hard. I always liked triangles while getti g back into it slowly moving my hands towards normal set after set.

Yeah, it was the 14. It was very good, definitely in the 29-31 out of 37 range as DT said.

Well I guess you can drink a lot more scotch the next few months. :/

I worked out today. Here is what I did:

Squat: 275 for 5 sets of 5 reps

There's a significant chance I did sets of 6 on some sets, and even a a chance I did a set of 6. I wasn't really paying attention so anything is possible. But it was heavy and my back didn't like it and my form wasn't awesome. I'm gonna keep pressing the weight on this I think and try and get stronger before a reset.

I tried to DL, but my left hand was rage hurting when I added the weight. Frustrating but I won't miss a beat on the next one.

I ended up beating the NFL for a few hundred dollar this week despite my early bets getting smashed.

Here are my early bets for the upcoming week:

Jags +11 (-110)

and

Panthers -2 (-110)

Hopefully I get a nice ship ship on both

Played some good ball today. First game was 3 on 3, we lost but were having trouble getting into a good rhythm. I was convinced we were the better team when we started (slightly) but it didn't look that way after we lost.

2nd game was a different story. I got off to a fast start scoring on 5 straight possessions, it was 5-0 like that. My defender was getting upset. We played a lot better as a team and I did a lot better work in the paint on scoring and board. It started getting dark so we started all to really suck. My reflexes slow down quite a bit when it gets dark, I think everyone was the same way. But we won handily and it was awesome.

Including the 30 minute warm up/ practice and the games, I burned just over 1000 calories.

Ok my WIM was absent last week, seems to be back this week in full force.

Here is what I did today:

Squat 285 for 5 sets of 5 reps

Felt pretty heavy by the last set, but looking back at the film I should be able to keep increasing the weight.

DL: 285 for 10 singles

My normal routine of setting a stopwatch and doing a rep every 20 seconds. So, still singles, but not much of a rest in between. Felt kinda heavy, but ok.

3 mile walk (14 minute pace)

Felt good.

Total: 1100 calories burned

Why is that your approach on DLs? Did you get it from somewhere or is it JF home cookin'?

Def some home cookin.

I dunno, I just feel like I can actually get through a set of 10 that way

Ok - carry on. And come up with more sweet videos that aren't reviewing food. I'd actually watch those (they are pretty good) but I don't actually care/want to care about almost any of those foods. Just would lead me to 36/37 death by nomzies.

I was actually thinking about making a quick video that went from a bright and chipper JonFon to a disheveled, hopeless, crying JonFon very quickly just to see if I was capable of the acting.

Maybe I would be sad about not even lifting or something

Sure, any video is a good video imo given your body of work. Keep the juices flowing for a potential gem to surface.

Yeah I'll figure out something.

I got my squat on today. Was pretty heavy. I did:

Squat: 290 for 5 sets of 5 reps

So heavy. On the last set I raised the pins in case I failed. I didn't, didn't really feel close to failing, but it was quite a grind.

I also did:

DL: 290 for 1 set of 5

I wanted 10, so basically, I suck.

Then I went and shot around. I was having trouble with my off balance shots, but my regular jumpers were lookin prettyyy pprreetttayy good.

Then I ate a giant philly cheesesteak PWO

Workout today:

Bench: 150 for 5 sets of 10 reps

Heavy, but doable. My right arm is kinda hurting, hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Then I went for a 4 mile walk (there was some running/jogging as well)

Forgot my HR monitor, no idea how many cal I burned. Prob like 3k

Lotta stuff to do today, life is good, WIM

Today moved some weight around for a few minutes:

Powercleaners: 150 for 30 singles

Set the stopwatch, did a rep every 30 seconds. Solid cardio burn, my HR got up to about 160 for most of it.

Also sick brag: my HR monitor doesn't fit around my arm anymore at the setting I've had it on forever. Had to loosen it today. #swole

Now I'm off to play racquetball
