Changes to nutrition
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:13pmI'm trying to eat relatively clean nowadays, with an occasional cheat day. This means reducing high-glycemic carbs in the morning (no pancakes, but maybe toast and jam) and especially at other times of the day. Fruit is OK. But carbs in general are being kept to a minimum after evening kicks in. I don't worry about low-glycemic carbs such as tofu, beans, and so on. I'm throwing in a high-protein day once a week. On non-workout days, I have one shake and my meals. On workout days, I have two shakes and my meals. But starting today, on my high-protein day (which is also a workout day), I will ha...
Killer workouts
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:13pmMan, my workouts have been incredibly intense lately. I'm not even using really heavy weight. It's the pace and volume that make my workouts intense. Here are two recent workouts: Wednesday, 8 August 2007 - Trisets of dumbbell flyes, dumbbell bench presses, and push ups. 10 reps per exercise, no rest between exercises, 2-3 minutes rest between each triset, and about 5-6 trisets. - 4 supersets of seated behind-the-neck dumbbell raises and dips That was it, and that blew me away. Friday, 10 August 2007 (Today) - 7 laps around the university track - 6 megasets involving the circuit training...
Century Sets
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 8:13pmDid "century sets" this afternoon. I'd read about century sets in Flex. Basically, you choose a weight that you can do 20-25 reps for, lift that, rest 15 seconds, then belt out another 10 reps, rest 15 seconds, and continue this pattern until you get to a hundred. I did century sets for bench press, barbell shrugs, and barbell curls. That's about 300 reps, baby. It's almost midnight and it's an effort to move my arms. I got really tired earlier when I tried to play games with the kids. One of my kids is still up, can you believe it? I just finished some cottage cheese...

Thx for the add and the comment. I agree, shoulder widening is top priority for me right now. I'm hitting them hard and starting to see some results.

Very interesting you're in Japan. I've been there before and loved it. The fact that I was considered tall there didn't hurt either. :-)

Now, I try to have smaller meals and shakes, every 2.5-3 hours, trying to get in at least 30g of protein with each. I think as I've gotten older, my metabolism has slowed down as well, which makes gaining a little easier.
