i know this looks week but i want to take it slow my shoulder is still really weak and i dont want to chance it

[ElPietro]

Dude don't worry how much you are lifting relative to others...or even relative to how much you used to lift. Just take it slow and ease yourself back. You've been out of things for a while now...another week or two taking things easy won't do you any harm, whereas the alternative probably will.

[ElPietro]

Is it the journal or the workouts you need to get more consistent? Are you actually following a routine, or at least going regularly?

[Bam Bam]

YEAH PEIT this is a mess so is my work out regime its inconsistant spotty at best
I need to clean up this messy journal and my workouts

[BennettBoy]

Dang Scott, you have put on so much weight you don't even look like yourself. But you don't look too fat. You going to cut soon?

[ericg]

I agree, not fat, just big - added some nice size and you dont look like the pic in your avatar at all. keep up the hard work man

**EDIT

big is a good thing, big meaning that you have added some LBM.

[Bam Bam]

thanks guys without being able to lift real hard i was worried
my face isnt that puffy when i look in the mirror usually but these pics scare me a bit on that level

Bennett- i am going to start cutting on monday had golden corrall breakfast and lunch buffett today(10 am-12 30 ) i probably gained a few there

i have surgery on shoulder feb 17th but plan to do real light lifting when possible and rehab like a mad man

i will get measurments up but i know my chest forearms arms neck have blown up . My arms were 16 1/2 in december 20 lbs in to gain so i am hoping they are 17 or so now ive hit legs as hard as i can without squats(shoulder) but i am usually uninthused

[Exnor]

omg... never seen traps that big before ;p

[Bam Bam]

lol funny guy

[Bam Bam]

starting cutting today will limit simple carbs other than milk and post workout i will aim for a high fat high protein lowish carb diet(around 100 grams a day)

[Bam Bam]

did hiit training (cardio) yesterday 40 sprints 6 seconds long 9 seconds rest inbetween

[Bam Bam]

played football on sunday and my legs havnt been that sore in months

What is the diet looking like these days? What do you weigh right now?

[Bam Bam]

thanks for checking bradley i am at 213 from 175 (last fight on november 26th) i am trying to clean diet up now and lean up for summer

diet is spotty at best but trying not to hit a buffett everyday

i have my ears opened for a good diet so all input is appreciated

[Relentless]

Good on ya man.

We played football last weekend but it sucked because the ground is frozen, covered in ice and dusted with snow. I can't wait for the spring thaw so i can put cleats on again.

You are looking swole in that hall pic Scott.... if you've got to rehab after the surgery that makes perfect sense as a time to cut; get a good grip on your diet and strip off some of that BF to expose the nice new muscles you've grown.

I'd ask your doc if you can keep doing legs and stuff while rehabbing the shoulder... and then cut smartly and steadily. The low carb idea is probably good; your posted diet stuff looks not too different from what I used to eat. I am/was a carb whore. Gonna likely try atkins-type cut as of mid-April. Until then, I'm still bulking relatively cleanly.

Only advice I have at this point would be to try and get some fish in your diet; man shouldn't live by chicken alone. :D

Some people don't buy it but I had some good results going on the Blood Type diet. Do you know your Blood Type?

[bradley]

Can you give me a rough estimate of what your daily diet looks like? Maybe a rough cal count? I have some general guidelines that I usually post over in diet and nutrition that I can post over here if you like but I am sure you know most of it. By the way looks like you gained a significant amount of LBM on the last bulk. Congrats.

[Bam Bam]

what ive been eating the last week trying to cut

8 am 4 eggs 1 whole 1 glass of milk and protein

11- post workout shake malto and protein(workout changes daily time wise)

12- chicken and rice

1 can of tuna

2 pistachios,almonds or peanuts sometimes cashews

3 protein shake or hamburger pattie

6- tuna or chicken

8- more nuts and sometimes hot cocoa

11- cassinate for bed time

[bradley]

Looks pretty good to me. Although I am unsure whether I would keep carbs that low. I would either go with a more balanced diet, maybe isocaloric or something along the lines of a TKD or NHE. You are almost performing a TKD as it is because the only carbs I see are from milk, rice, postworkout shake, and maybe few from the nuts.

Callahan also had some good advice about the fish. I think salmon is probably one of the best all around meats there is. Excellent source of protein and healthy fats. I will check back in and see what you think.

Callahan--What is the blood type diet. Do you have any links? Thanks in advance.

[Bam Bam]

thanks bradley for the help i appreciate it i guess i will look and see what tkd and nhe are and which may be right for me

[bradley]

People seem to have good results using the NHE diet. Check out ericg's journal. He just started the NHE diet and there is another one (moose's I think) that might be of help. Will be happy to offer any assistance I can on whichever one you choose. Although I would imagine that you will lose bf on the diet that you posted above. Good luck with it.:)

[Exnor]

I wasnt joking about the traps...

[Bam Bam]

thanks bradley i really appreciate your time
i ofcoarse want to save any muscle i possibly can

exnor thanks dog i thought you were poking fun

[Bam Bam]

i am going to give NHE a try i have searched it but got more on parts of it than the whole thing i guess its more or less a low carb with a refeed every 4 days? also some have lost strength on it which i cant afford to do in the fight game

[Bam Bam]

OK diet = pooh

i am eating girl scout cookies by the box and cakes by the whole i will start carb depletion on sunday or monday maybe sooner and do NHE


i am still looking for a routine to stick too workout wise

[bradley]

What about the good ole push/pull/legs split? Those Girl Scout Cookies are evil...thin mints especially:evillaugh

[CoCoa]

:D Yes, them cookies are good- ordered several boxes. Looks like you bulked easily. Good luck with the cutting, you will be ready for the beach again but this time bigger :cool:

[Bam Bam]

thanks guys i like the peanut butter patties they are sin

oh and my friends wife makes this cake i suggest all on a cheat day

chocolate cake poke holes in it with back of a wooden spoon
pour condenced milk on it pour caremel on it
let it cool throw whip cream on top and stick in the fridge


ok today thursday i started NHE i had surgery monday so im not lifting but i will try to do legs in a few weeks

[bradley]

Good luck with it Bam Bam. Once you get through the metabolic shift part of the diet you will be good to go.:thumbup:

[Bam Bam]

day 4 of NHE diet so far so easy i feel great like a monstar on saturday worked out sunday legs as my arm is still slinged i am becoming an omellete junky

current supps

protein powder)1 or two servings because of carbs

multi vit and vit c (i need to get calcuim pills)

i am going to start off at around 50-60 grams of carbs and refeed every 3rd day if i dont seee good results i will switch the carbo to every 4th day

[bradley]

Are you performing the metabolic shift part of the diet Bam-Bam? If so a fiber supplement may be a good investment. How long is the arm going to be in a sling? Keep up the good work on the diet;)

[Bam Bam]

Fiber supp?? uh oh

yes i am in the no carb part

[bradley]

Originally posted by Bam Bam

Don't worry man it is not a neccessity, but with all the fat and protein that gets taken in on the metabolic shift and the lack of fiber sometimes a supp is helpful to keep everything flowing nicely. If all is well then don't worry about it.

[Bam Bam]

bradley how does my after metabo diet look from above post

[bradley]

Are you referring to the 50-60g of carbs on low carb days and then carb ups every 3rd day? That sounds fine to me but carb ups every 3rd day could be a little soon. I would go with every 3rd day and then the next carb up on the 4th day. If these are too far apart then you can move them closer together.

You could add in some ALA to supp with during the carb loads if you wanted to. I didn't see a specific meal by meal listing but as long as you stay within the guidelines you posted above you should be good to go.:thumbup:

[Bam Bam]

6th day of metobo change i am feeling foggy at times i wont try doing another leg workout untill i get to add carbs

[ericg]

good luck bam. im sure if you follow the basic rules (and maybe bend them a bit here and there) you will see some great results.

Might want to get more healthy fats in there if you can. Some omega-3's would probably be beneficial. Other than that looking good Bam-Bam. Did you dind the metabolic shift difficult?

[Bam Bam]

thanks bradley i am going to try to follow NHE as much as my weight will allow me too but if i feel i may end up over i will just follow it without the carb ups

would i run into any problems with that??

[AJ_11]

Depends on how low your cals go under maintence. Also sometimes its a good idea to carb up to refresh muscle glycogen levels. Also you Leptin levels may drop a bit. If the fight isn't untill the 29th I would still carb up but keep protein really low and don't go too high from maintence. Also try taking some ala with your carb ups that will help drive the carbs to you muscles.

One thing that I am learning about this diet its not a keto and it relies on you carb ups becasuse fat is not as high. On a Keto there is really no need for carb ups every couple of days due to your body being in ketosis. Fat must me kept at least 60% and carbs should be kept under 30. You may want to try it untill your fight then switch back. Just my $0.02.

I wouldn't think so, but I would still have at least one carb up per week and maybe just go with slightly over maintenance cals. Make sure the carb ups have minimal protein and fat and I think you will be fine.

[Bam Bam]

Was that last meal on the 19th a carb load meal? If so that would probably be the reason for the weight gain.

[CoCoa]

Is it back to normal now? I really wouldn't worry about it. Could be you are holding some water or maybe some undigested food in your bowel or something.

[Bam Bam]

weight today 208.5 i am really fluctuating

[Bam Bam]

last night i really ****ed up in two ways first i was at the club and some girl who i dont even like was talking about me adn the dude she was with started in well hes got all these other girls hanging on him in the other room or something to that effect. so she comes over i am of coarse by my self and she tells me someone told her this and that. I told her we were not together and whoever told her that was on some ho **** and i was in a chill mood . Five mins later 2 guys come over and one said so i am a ho huh?? I said not only that your a ****ing lie thats when dude #2 who was quiet the whole time took a shot at me and i hit him 2 maybe three times he fell and the other guy just sat there i got escorted out of the club. Now for the real ****ed up part i went to the diner afterwards and had a huge omellette home fries and bicuits and gravy totally ruining my diet




anyway friday i leave out for dallas i am probably not going to post much this week i will try to get my mind ready for the weekend

[bradley]

Don't sweat it Bam-Bam. One meal is not going to throw the whole diet off. Good luck man, and I will be looking forward to hearing how you do:)

[Bam Bam]

I wanted to share my thoughts before this fight (or any fight for that matter)

I really dont think anything about the fight untill a few weeks out when i start invisioning all the ways i will destroy my opponents or opponent depending on the set up. the week before the fight i start to question my manhood. I wonder if i am strong enough tough enough or have the moxy to do what i have to do in the ring. I may have a dream or two of not being able to affect my opponent at all in the fight. My puches dont phase him in the least, like i am a few hundred men going against thousands and i am armed with slingshots while they are heavily armed. By now my pyschy is ruined i admit defeat in my mind and i am scared of how i might shame myself in the ring. As all emotions do this passes and i become peaceful with the fact i might be lose and lose bad. It becomes a test in my mind to see how i can deal with a punishing defeat and the fear lifts from my mind like a morning fog over the city. At this point i am very sureal. Usually this takes place a few days before fight day this is when i know i am ready to fight and become very anxious. I generally cant sleep in anticipation of the fight and often find myself in verge of tears as my adrenaline mounts. On fight day i usually watch saving private ryan or braveheart relax and get all my stuff ready. i typically show up 3-4 hrs before an event is scheduled to start where i do all paperwork and get situated. If its a tournament i generally seak out my opponents and make casual conversation hoping to find any weaknesses i can expose. I typically come off real nice if its tournament let the guys ask or talk away if its one fight i just put on the head phones and go into my own little world. When i get into the ring there isnt much going in my mind when the bell rings i release like a dog attacking another no hatred just instinct i go untill i am stop its pretty pure actually i dont intend to hurt i just go

[Bam Bam]

ok going to dallas today got 5 maybe 5 1/2 hrs of sleep last night i weight 203 this morning after sleeping in trashbags last night i feel tired but ok. My stamina is good and my shoulder is good enough to throw some big bombs i hope!

[Bam Bam]

Back from dallas sore and tired but 1-0 in contact fighting

ate tons and drank tons last night on the west end

[Magnus]

Congrats on your win. Curios though, why do you fight??

[bradley]

Congrats Bam-Bam. Got anymore scheduled fights?

[CoCoa]

:thumbup: Our man put a hurtin on dude! :D

[Bam Bam]

nomore scheduled fights i will talk to century if there is an opening for the may 10th show in OKc although i think i would like to be lighter for that fight

saturday night i drank alot i also ate

a chicken a slab of ribs and 2 chicken breasts at dicks last resort

[Bam Bam]

healing up rather nicely i might hit the weights at the end of the week

trying to keep on nhe


eating 3 lbs of almonds/cashews a week does that seem like too much?>?

[bradley]

Not really, especially if they are making up a large portion of your cals for the day. I would say a couple of handfuls per sitting would be plenty.

[Bam Bam]

cool bradley youve been a huge help thanks man


ok today thursday the 3rd weight 210.5

trying to keep diet but after a fight i am not active or disciplined went to the gym for therapy and got my share of attention which is nice but i feel awkward about it

[Bam Bam]

heres a crappy pic after fight you can see right eye is swoll and cut chin

[Silverback]

ow!!!

Do you box? or is it like UFC?

Either way id learn how to dodge punches :D

I suppose if you won then thats great :thumbup:

[Bam Bam]

its like ufc ron



i started out boxing though

[Bam Bam]

ok getting back on track but next saturday is my little brothers wedding so that weekend is going ot be murder on my diet i will just have to not worry about it though(i will try to get my fill on sweets so i can be strict later)

weight today 205

[Bam Bam]

this is better

[Bam Bam]

arm at 205 lbs

[Bam Bam]

another

[Bam Bam]

trapssss

[bradley]

Nice size Bam Bam. I would say the traps are a strong point. Looks like you leaned out nicely since the last pics.

[Bam Bam]

thanks bradley thats at 205 from 218-220


sorry for ****y pics i will try to fix them

[Bam Bam]

ok diet is speratic wedding this weekend is sure to make fits of my diet

yesterday i curled 70lb dumbells for reps of 5 and i think i could have gotten a couple more up with left arm but my right(thorassic nerve) was done

this is with strick form leaning over a bit so no back help occurs

[Bam Bam]

WEIGHT this morning is 215.5 lbs

not good at all

[bradley]

I take it the wedding was fun though:) Nothing a little dieting can't take care of. You still going with the NHE diet?

[Bam Bam]

wedding was fun i am thinking of doing NHE but i didnt reallylose weight after first 8-10 lbs i would lose during low carb days but gain back at carb up but since i dont need a certain weight for my next fight i may do it in hopes of shedding some fat

[bradley]

Although you didn't lose much scale weight it seemed from the pics that you leaned out a bit. Have you though about checking your bf% before starting just to see if it changes much through the course of the diet?

[Bam Bam]

dont get me wrong bradley i like nhe and i think its would work well but i need to drop under 199 to get into the light weightclass in next event id hate to have my first fight be against a guy 240 or so

[bradley]

I understand that completely. I was under the impression that you weren't trying to make a certain weight class. Maybe a more balanced approach would work better? Isocaloric maybe?

[Bam Bam]

well fights were this weekend and i got beat in semis i am so sore my whole body feels bruised and i have a lovely gash over right eye

[GhettoSmurf]

Originally posted by Bam Bam

will we get to see some pictures?? ;)

i hope you heal up soon!

[Bam Bam]

FOR SURE Smurf pics and maybe vid snips

As for the fights It was 16 man open tourny THe first fight was against a 6ft 212 lb fighter who was a freestyle fighter he went right for a shoot after a stomp/shin attempt and i sprawled throwing close glancing shots when my sprawl outlasted his shoot i drilled him 2 or 3 times he went out fight lasted 8 seconds

Second fight was against a wrestler he was 5ft 8 230 lbs He got me on the ground a few times but was willing to box alot of the fight it went into the second 5 min rd and he tried to get in a lock but didnt shoot hard i threw several straight punches and caught him against the ropes i continued to throw and he turned his head he never went down but i was getting hard shots on his head as he covered the ref stopped it at 241 in rd 2

Third fight was against another wrestler he was nearly 250 lbs and this was a semi final fight he shot i never got a clean shot on him in rd one he had a low guard and punished me throughout the rd. Rd 2 started and i got a big left on him as he shot in but it didnt stop him from taking me down i never got off the ground against him but did bloody his nose from the guard. He was too big and strong i had no chance to get up and i couldnt begin to get a arm lock or neck crrank on him and the ref stopped the fight 318 into the second rd. I dont think i could have won but i think the stoppage was premature i wasnt hurt and i felt like i was defending against his strikes but who knows he went on to get beat in the finals by a jui jitsu guy 108 in first rd by choke.

I really feel bad about the fight i was outmatched outclassed and out muscled we could have fought 10 times and i really dont think i would have won any of them which really is hard to swallow. Afterwards he told me i a was game and gave me props i was kinda pissed not at him but at myself and told him yeah i wish we could have stayed standing a bit and he said yeah that would have been fun. Well for my ass beating i got i walked away with $500 for 3 fights not too good but ohwell Once again i will have pics as soon as possible ill take some probably tonight

BTW there wernt many casualities with the tornado for all that were wondering

[GhettoSmurf]

what type of fighting is this?

is it sort of like that "Ultimate Fighting" type thing?

[CoCoa]

Good deal on the fights, thanks for the updates - felt like I was right there the way you illustrated things...:thumbup:

ain't these tornadoes too much!? It is a blessing there were not more casualties, glad you are ok.

[Wu36]

8 seconds... thats crazy

Get bigger and stronger, come back and kick his ass. Takes a whole lot of balls to do what you do. I give you tons of respect. Good luck in your future fights.

[Sayiajin Prince]

wow man thats amazing. u got my full support

[kAiXuan]

great job bam, train hard in submission wrestling

[GIS]

What's your style Bam? Is it just straight boxing or freestyle? You should train hard for grappling so those damn wrestlers are more of a match.

[bradley]

Sounds like you did great in the first two fights:) I wouldn't sweat it to much. You can't win them all and now you have some motivation to work with.

[Bam Bam]

thanks everyone it was hard to lose especially to a fat ass but 260 is 260

now to get back to the weights and hopefully shed a few bf%s

BYW iu was rocking a WBB t-shirt at the fights

[Wikked1]

BAM BAM dude I am impressed not too many people willing to brawl like you do and then be honest about getting their *****es beat. Put me in my 'michelin man suit" and I MIGHT consider asking for a lesson....ya got BIG TITANIUM BALLS dude!! Good luck in your next tournament.

[Wu36]

Represent.

[Bam Bam]

went to the doc today and have a broken finger he fixed it though with 6 ccs of sensecaine and a few gentle pulls

took some pics today of war wounds will get those out for you soon. I am not going to fight again unless its in my area driving 3 hrs fighting for no one who knows me and coming home is getting tiresome

[Bam Bam]

My finger is still numb crazy! I did a chest shoulder workout with machines last night everyone thinks i have brass balls because i worked out with a broken finger. But i was like well before i went to the doctor i was going to work out so i had already made up my mind plus it was numb not like i was in pain

Anyway csnt wait to get back in the gym i think i am going to lean a bit and then this fall really put on some weight like last time but without all the pies and cakes :)

[Bam Bam]

[Tankette]

Hey, Bam, sorry about your loss. Quick question...where do you train?

[Bam Bam]

I Train with weights at THe Health Club its the best place by far ive seen around here
Fighting wise i train at Stanley complex

[Tankette]

I like The Health Club, I have a few friends that work out there. I'm about to join Universal in Moore. I asked because I know a few people that train for boxing/kickboxing at Conan's in Norman.

[Bam Bam]

I have heard conan was a bad man but he was more into training groups than giving away one on one training. I was going to say i that moore had a few nice looking ones but i have never trained at them

[Tankette]

I only took kickboxing there for a few months b/c of lack of time and money. You're right though. Conan is a bad man; however, in my experience, it was all group training, and too much time was spent on other things like ab exercises (1/2 of each session). I'm all about abs; however, I would have rather worked on technique during that time and done abs on my own time.

[Bam Bam]

i agree tankette

diet this whole week has been good

eating mainly protein and fats with carbs coming post workout ,in the morning with milk and snacking on almonds peanuts or cashews during the day

weight staying at 203 but i am definetly leaning

took creatine after leg workout noticed nothing

[Relentless]

are you using any kind of supps to help you lean up, bammer? (i.e. ephedrine/caffiene)

[Bam Bam]

i had taken ephedrine for a few weeks but then i had a hard on that wasnt at its hardest so i quit

to tell the truth i have been thinking about PH but i am a wussy so i probably wont do it

i am hoping the creatine keeps me fuller or allows heavier training as i am cutting

[Relentless]

i totally think the creatine is part of what is helping you train heavy and often, as it helps with recovery

I'd do a cycle of PHs in a second except they're a pain for me to get here in Canada... I mean for all it'd cost to do some 1-test or whatever, it'd be worth a shot I think

[Bam Bam]

[BennettBoy]

Your looking good Bam. Like you said, another 10-15 pounds trimmed off and you will be good to go!

[Bam Bam]

thanks guys

bennett i think 15 might be too much i couldnt be lean like you and still fight i think that would be a tad unhealthy for me hopefully 10 lbs and my next fight will be at 190 i should have a good strength edge

[Bam Bam]

ok last few days have been bad on my sleep i woke up about every hr last night and thats after a melotonin capsule

i might take a few days off

[Relentless]

Sup Scott...where you training grappling? Is it BJJ or some type of wrestling? How do you like it...well it's rubbing up to sweaty men, I know you'd love it :D, but seriously what do you think of it compared to standup?

[Bam Bam]

tankette :D

peit thanks for dropping by i am training with greco wrestlers here and there. learning basic movements and incorperating them into pounding someones face ;) There is a place nearby that trains in multiple arts including boxing bjj and wrestling one of the instructers also has fought ufc its called USA stars i am thinking abou training there

i have great respect for it its just as intricate as stand up every move or movement has an effect on the fight. I find my longer thinner legs dont help me so much on bottom but i feel my thicker upper body allows me to control limbs and movements while on top

sunday


sparred several rds felt good delivered some mean body shots

[Bruteman]

It makes you feel warm all over when you tag someone with a good body shot don't it!

[Bam Bam]

yeah it was an ego boost since we had 16 oz gloves on and it was a sternum shot :)

[Bruteman]

When you spar is it boxing or some form of martial art or just what ever you want to work on that day?

[Bam Bam]

bruteman--alot of boxing cause its easier to get sparring partners when gloves are involved but i do spar without gloves but the focus is usually on ground game
