Devil Diet

[Deca Devil]

Going to start doing this as regular as possible. Seems to keep other people really focused. Been dieting for 3 weeks, dropped 2% BF which is good. But I haven’t really been that strict!!

Weight 99kg – 217lbs
BF % 19 :eek:
Kcal – 2900
Carb – 300g
Prot - 250g
Fat – 80g

Diet consists of:

Meal 1 – 3 Weetabix – ½ pint of milk ( need to incorporate whey)
Meal 2 – Turkey Sandwhich
Meal 3 – Potatoes and Chicken or Tuna & Rice
Meal 4 – Progen and Apple/Banana
Meal 5 – Chicken/Tuna – Potatoes/Rice Veggies
Start talking Glutamine before bed.

Supplements: Glutamine, Creatine, Glucosamine, Vit C (1000mg), Multi Vit

Going to try and keep a photo record aswell now.

Training:

Mon: Chest/Bi – Cardio 25mins – Low intensity
Tue: Legs
Wed: Cardio 25mins – High Intensity – Abs
Thur: Shoulders/Calves – Cardio – 25mins
Fri: Back/Tri – Cardio – 25mins
Sat: Cardio – 25mins – High Intensity
Sun: Rest

Generally feeling OK, although legs are not as strong as they were. Cardio seems to be OK, burning roughly 200-300Kcals

Any gems of wisdom, feel free to comment.

Good luck Deca keep it up. Lots of guys start journals here but not many keep them up. They end up abandoning them not before long. Just keep it bro! :cool::cool:

Based on your strength man you seem to be new to the iron game. Thats the impression that I am getting is this true? If so I would highly recommend AGAINST you starting anabolics.

I'm going to drop barbell presses for a few weeks until I can sort my shoulder out. Keep doing exercises for my rotar cuff.

[Deca Devil]

Just re-read my journal and realised I started this to make sure I kept on my diet.

Dieting hasn't been brilliant tuttut But I'm going to keep on this kind of diet until around November and then start bulking.

Start Weight 217lbs
BF% 21%


Weight Today 225lbs
BF% (est) 17%


This would mean that in the begining I had 171lbs lean mass and 46lbs of fat :eek:

Now I have 187lbs lean mass and 38lbs of fat. Is this right????

16lbs of LM and 8lbs fat loss is pretty good :) as I haven't been all that hot on my diet. Must add as well this has been chemically assisted although not that much really:)

Think that pushing my weights due to my AS use has made my shoulder injury worse (only came about once I started pressing 3 plates a side) So hopefully I can try and minimize the effect this has on my training.

Strength on chest has dropped a little :(

Could have been a number of different things;

a) hadn't trained chest for over a week
b) was up all night with toothache, so I didn't eat very well either
c) been off juice for 2 weeks so strength is starting to fade.

I think it is most probably B as my strength on everything else seems fine!!

Just have to wait and see.

Decided that from Monday I am going to start taking Ephedrine to speed up my fat burning process.

Bodyfat has come down, started at 21% now around 16% with only minimal muscle lost, which is good:D

But want to get to around 10% before starting to bulk up for next summer.

Using Eph for a few weeks as I have some spare then will switch to Sidia Cordifolia (sp?) which is more thermogenic I think!!

How much Eph??? I thought 60mg in the morning (first thing) then another 60mg b4 training. (and about 4pm on non training days).

How about cycling use, should I go 2 weeks on 2 weeks off like clen??

Have only used eph as a training aid rather than a fat burner. I know my body does get used to the effects pretty quickly!!

Back

Pulldowns x 3 - Used as a warm up

Bent over Rows 220 x 8-6 - Good hard sets, get 2 sets of 8 next week

T-Bar Rows 180 x 8,8 - First Time I've done these, felt OK, nothing special

Deadlifts 310 x 6,6 - Done totally different to how I normally do them. I normally use a powerlifting style (from floor, using legs, back and hips) these were done more like a stiff legged deadlift and tried to maintain constant tension (no touching floor or pins in this case and no real hip movement at the top) Didn't really like doing them this way :(

Chest

Dumbell Press 105 x 7,7 - Gutted thought I would be able to increase weight, but these felt hard.

Inc Bar Press 220 x 6
200 x 6 - Chest was pumped.

Flyes x 3

X - Overs x 2

Real quick workout as I was going to work. Had a real good pump though as I trained a lot quicker than I usually do :) although it didn't help my strength, but was good for a change of pace.

[Deca Devil]

Going to start detailing my journal a little more after seeing all th einfo most guys put in theirs. Think it could be helpful when looking back in the months to come.

General Comments

Felt good all day, was up early and finished work early :D Always seem to feel great on a Monday morning which is weird :confused:

Sleep: Just over 5 1/2 Hrs

Pain/Muscle Soreness

No joint pains which is great :D but my chest and shoulders felt tight from Friday's workout. Legs still aching from Thursday, need to make sure I get my Glutamine and plenty of protein to repair muscle tissue.

Diet & Supplements

Trying to cut carbs at the moment.

4 Phedra Cuts
Meal 1: 3 Weetabix, 1/2 pint of skimmed milk
Meal 2: 2 white bread rolls, 4 slices of Beef
4 Phedra Cuts
Meal 3: Yoghurt
Meal 4: 30g (Dry weight) Rice, 2 Tins of Tuna, Sweetcorn & Peas
60mg Ephedrine
Post Workout: 10g Creatine, 500mg ALA, Serving of Whey Protein
Meal 5: 2 Rump Steaks, 1 Jacket Potato

Cals:2100 Prot: 221 Carb: 214 Fat: 41

Need more calories and more protein, add whey drink into meal 1.

I log my diet on Fitday.com and using their activity calculator I burnt 3739 cals. But after only taking in 2100 I think that something is wrong somewhere. Either the food calculations are too low or the activities are too high. Not sure how it works it out but it says I burnt over 2100 just on my basal rate. Would this be right for 218 - 220lbs BW???



Training

Back

Pulldowns: Did these just to warm up, good stretch and contraction at the bottom.

Bentover Rows: 220 x 8,8
These felt better than last week, pretty good form. Have only been doing these for a while, but now I can actually feel my back working

T-Bar Rows 155 x 8,8,8
Again never did these before last week, still getting used to them. Feel these deep in my upper back

Deadlifts 315 x 8,8 - 405 x 1
These are non lockout style, pretty much like a stifflegged deadlift but without really using your hamstrings. I find these really hard as I am used to doing regular deadlifts. But I do feel these hit my lower back harder. The 405 was good going up but on the negative the last few inches my back just about gave out :mad:

Training Comments

Felt good, back was pumped and totally fried. Really starting to feel my muscles working when I'm doing the exercises now.

Did around 40 mins on Bike about 1/2 hr after my last meal.

Too many Carbs, not enough Protein or Cals, didn't really plan any meals which ruined my eating plan. Think I need roughly to be eating 3000Kcals as this has helped me lose BF and retain muscle in the past.
