Cool. Already decided to ++ on sleep.

3rd Nov - Cals: 4245, Squats, Bench and Rows in the morning, then walked everywhere. Sleep was 9 hours (most in a long time)

4th Nov - Cals: 4666. Walking + 2 hours of snatch and clean work then 5x5 back squats and 2x5 front squats. Only 5 hours of sleep though.

5th Nov - Cals: 5k (oops, had a cheat meal). the cortisol was high today though, something about eating 2000 calories worth of wholemeal pasta, egg, and vegetables didn't sit right without adequate rest. Did 5x5 overhead press and 1x5 deadlifts followed by some hanging leg raises, dips and chins. aiming for 9-10 hours tonight.

6th Nov - Cals: 3946, muay thai class

7th Nov - Cals: 3179, oly sesh clean and jerk + 5x5 squats, BP, bent over rows

8th Nov - Cals: 3892, rest day

9th Nov - Cals: 3644, 5x5 squats, ohp, 1x5 deads

10th Nov - Cals: 3658, rest day

11th Nov - Cals: 4440, oly sesh snatch + 5x5 squats

12th Nov - Cals: 4378, 5x5 BP, bent over rows + plus ice cream fitness volume stuff

13th Nov - Cals: 4927, muay thai class

14th Nov - Cals: 3884, oly sesh clean and jerk + 5x5 squats, ohp, 1x5 deads

15th Nov - Cals: 3974, rest day

16th Nov - Cals: 4004, 5x5 squats (finally hit 100kg back squat), BP and bent over rows

17th Nov - Cals: 4222, rest day

18th Nov - Cals: 5015, oly sesh snatch + 5x5 squats + 1x5 deads

19th Nov - Cals: 4883, 5x5 OHP + plus ice cream fitness volume stuff

As you can see from my log i've switched to the ice cream fitness 5x5 program to get a bit more volume in. Hopefully this will help build muscle. The weights are going up which is good. I'm splitting up a full body routine across wednesday and thursday as time is a limited factor (gym closes at 10), but I'm going to attempt to combine this next week by using time wisely - I believe there is too much crossover between the muscles involved and it would be beneficial to have another total rest day in.

Last week gained 0.5kg a week so I was going to try and keep up that rate of gain. However between Sun 15th - Wed 18th the weight change was exactly 0kg at 77.7kg (both morning post poop) so I decided to up the calories again. Hoping closer to 5000 will keep me moving up.

Sleep has been up and down. Haven't found a way to properly record this yet but Mon + Tue i've been trying to make up for the sleep lost throughout the week. Don't get that much sleep on Wednesday's night as training is on a night time. Been trying to make an effort to go out and do stuff on a Friday night and training is 12 on Saturday so don't always get huge amount of sleep then either. Apart from that it is reasonable, though I do always still feel tired :/

Going to bed now! - 19/11/15

looksmax · 2015-11-04T14:58:07+00:00

Alright I'm in on this and I will update this each day for the rest of the month. Hold me accountable if I fuck around and I'll do the same for you.

I have been tracking calories each day using the MyFitnessPal app and have been logging my supplements/sleep/lifts/mood/notable events etc each day in a journal. Both good habits and lets me go back and objectively evaluate both my progress in the gym, how I'm feeling, sleeping and whatever other things are going on my life.

Daily target is 3000 calories. I have been lifting for a few years now so I have a solid gym routine already. Sleep is probably the most difficult part of this for me (insomnia, it's nearly 4am as I type this..)

Nov 1 3098 cals, legs, high volume leg press + accessory work, could barely walk afterwards (srs)
4.5 hrs sleep
Nov 2 3014 cals, rest day (very tired)
9 hours sleep
Nov 3 2370 cals, rest day (still incredibly tired)
8 hours broken sleep (had company..)
Nov 4 2680 cals, chest (flat bench)
4 hours sleep
Nov 5 3037 cals, shoulders
4 hours sleep
Nov 6 2713 cals, back, 190kg/425lb DL (PR)
13 hours sleep
Nov 7 2989 cals, rest day
6 hours sleep + 2 hour nap in the afternoon
Nov 8 3299 cals, legs (squats)
3 hours sleep (I'll rest when I'm dead)
Nov 9 3319 cals, rest day
8 hours sleep (confirmed KIA status now)
Nov 10 2547 cals, rest day
4 hours sleep
Nov 11 2580 cals, chest (102.5kg flat bench = new PR)
9 hours sleep + 2 hrs nap
Nov 12 2409 cals, shoulders
2 hours sleep + 1 hr nap
Nov 13 1973 cals, rest
8 hours sleep + 2 hour nap
Nov 14 2606 cals, chest (105kg flat bench) (new PR)
9 hours sleep
Nov 15 2558 cals, legs
12 hours sleep
Nov 16 1727 cals, rest (sick)
20 hours sleep (broken sleep, but still.. wow)
Nov 17 2245 cals, chest (still a little sick so just a light workout)
2 hours sleep
Nov 18 2097 cals, rest (exhausted)
13 hours sleep (thanks phenibut)
Nov 19 3307 cals, back (180kg/405lb DL)
1 hour sleep (not a typo unfortunately)
Nov 20 1982 cals, back (200kg/440lb DL) (new PR)

This came as a huge surprise, after getting virtually no sleep last night as well as having done deadlifts just the night before and eating well under my goal calories I was able to finally pull a 200kg/440lb DL (4.5 plate) after months of trying. Was seriously considering not going to the gym today but manned up took an extra scoop of preworkout and went anyway. This seems to happen from time to time, a weird phenomenon that sometimes when I least feel like going to the gym it ends up being some of the best gym sessions; today was one of those days. Nothing beats the feeling you get from setting a goal and achieving it. I'm exhausted now but feel amazing. Next goal is a 5 plate DL by New Year.

6 hours sleep
Nov 21 2788 cals, rest
10 hours sleep

Nov 28 2919 cals, rest
3.5 hours sleep
Nov 29 3432 cals, rest
7 hours sleep
Nov 30 1596 cals, rest (test flu, no appetite)
12 hours broken sleep

Challenge completed

Achieved 2 flat bench PRs increasing my 1RM from 100kg (225) to 105kg (231). Those little 1.25kg (2.5) weights seem to be helping quite a lot.
Increased my raw conventional DL from 180kg (395) to 200kg (440).
Noticed I am getting test flu symptoms regularly each monday and tuesday (2,3,9,10,16,17,23,30) after my sunday "TRT" dose, started mega dosing vitamin C to try and deal with this but it's annoying losing 9 days this month of lifting and feeling completely wrecked on these days.

7.5 hours of sleep, 2750 calories consumed (Not Low Carb, sadly, about 120 grams of carbs and another 40 of dietary fiber.)

Leg day: Squats, Leg Curls, Leg Extention, Leg and Calve presses, and Obliques because I didn't have a different place to put them in my workout. 25 minutes HIIT.

Yesterday: 8.5 hours of sleep, 2400 calories, Decline Knuckle Pushups, Incline Knuckle Pushups, Regular Knuckle Pushups, Bench Press, Wrist and Finger Curls, Wrist Extension, Lat Pulldown, Seated Row, 15 minutes HIIT.

Despite coming in under my BMR, I feel like I am eating way too damned much compared to y'all. According to the chart, I ought be at 2970 a day. My daily work is already light (I stand, walk, and move bars of metal.) and then I work out hard enough to fail at complete sentences 4 times a week and almost as hard twice more.

Silenuslaughed · 2015-11-04T17:31:57+00:00

Silenuslaughed will take part in this challenge and I will update my figures at least 3X a week.

Current Stats

Age: 27 Height: 5'11.999999999" (182.879746 cm)^{Suzerain_Of_Manlets} Weight: 215lbs (97.5 kg) Body fat %: ~17%

Goals by December 4th

Weight: 210lbs (95.25 kg) Body fat %: ~15%

Daily Calories / Macros

Calories (will adjust as I lose weight): ~1941 (an average -- some days might be more or less, but will balance out over the week). Macros: 170g protein / 97g carbs (~38g fiber) / 97g fat

This is my third cut. Based on my results on previous cuts, I intend to structure my resistance training around strength (typically pyramid training starting at 6 reps down to 2, sometimes a heavy single). Lots of compounds. This helps me maintain strength throughout my cut. I am not so much concerned with pure aesthetics as I am with function. As long as I look decent in clothes I do well in business, and as long as I have abs and a lean back my wife never knows the difference. I have lost my abs as I went overboard on my current bulk, which I am now fixing.

Papa-Andi · 2015-11-04T18:31:12+00:00

Papa-Andi will participate and post data daily. Today I woke up after 8,5 hours of sleep (jizzy dream included). I squatted, deadlifted and pressed at the gym, amounting to 45 min workout. I walked in the forest for 45 min. Did a 30 min walk in the evening.

As for the eats, i ate 3 eggs with parsnip puree and saurkraut for breakfast, a smoothie (4 yolks, blueberries, persimon and coconut milk) for lunch and three eggs with leftover puree and turnip + rye bread, goat cheese, a banana and mango cubes for dinner. Oh, and also a little of rice porridge. Woah I'm stuffed but a man has got to eat for them gains.

bsutansalt · 2015-11-04T21:24:50+00:00

bbidabbong will take part in this challenge and provide daily updates. I will provide a short summary of what I eat each day and list of exercises I did during training.

I'm active every day due to challenging human resource management and supervising on construction sites. 7-8 kilometers of walking and lot of climbing on stairs and ladders (daily) during all weather conditions.

CognitiveVortex · 2015-11-16T20:43:25+00:00

Biked to and from work(40 mins each)

Going for a half hour swim tonight.

I don't have a scale to weigh the chicken I'm eating but my guesses must be off. I'm eating when I'm hungry and I'm full after I eat. Any tips on how to load up more cals without eating carbs?

Alanranks7 · 2015-11-04T04:34:25+00:00

Nov 3

2100 cals consumed 30 min workout because of shitty cold and school work.

Alanranks7 · 2015-11-17T03:57:38+00:00

Been awhile but I'll give an update

Nov 6th 7hrs sleep 2100 calories consumed , Nov 7th 6.5hrs sleep 1950 calories consumed , Nov 8th 8 hrs sleep 2000 calories consumed , Nov 9th 6.5 hrs sleep 2200 calories consumed , Nov 10th 8 hrs sleep 1800 calories consumed , Nov 11th 9 hrs sleep 2100 calories consumed , Nov 12th 6 hrs sleep 1800 calories consumed , Nov 13th 4hrs sleep 2200 calories consumed , Nov 14th 9 hrs sleep 1900 calories consumed , Nov 15th 8.5 hrs sleep 1750 calories consumed , Nov 16th 5.5 hrs sleep 2000 calories consumed

So far, during these days I had noticed a trend that appeared, with less sleep I took in more calories and more fluid. On weekends I consumed less overall.

Anyway my workout regimen was roughly:

15 min-ish mile and a half run 15 min of endurance exercises (pull ups, push ups, sit ups) 30 min of weight training I have increased my bench weight by 5lbs btw over this period of time

On weekends I would double my endurance and weight training times and include a series of 100 m sprints

My diet wasn't the best but it was better than my old diet. Only half of my calories now come from carbs, vegetable and meat consumption rose though. The only thing my diet lacks a lot of is fruit because I really only eat an orange or pear each day. I have been drinking close to a gallon of water and fresh brewed tea daily.

A final point I have seen my acne decrease to about half of what it was so that's good. I need to stop stressing about school stuff though because it leads to less sleep and more calories consumed.

Total weight Nov 1st :204.5 lbs , Total weight today: 200 lbs
