Long Road...to 15% and 225

[BIGBRI]

This is the former briancurran01.

I thought a name change was in line to go with my new goals and I wanted a new journal with the appropriate name.

[rookiebldr]

Awesome Brian. 225 and 15 will look great.


BTW, we could also just changed your name for ya. ;)

[Stephen Riddington]

Post your goals, and we'll give you the proper spam for them :D

Good luck on your new goals and focus.

And :spam: ;)

[BIG C]

Good luck with your goals!

[BIGBRI]

Awesome Brian. 225 and 15 will look great.


BTW, we could also just changed your name for ya. ;)

Rookie: Its cool. I like this new name starting over. Will keep me more honest.

Homer: goals are in my sig line now.

big c: thanks bro

[BIGBRI]

Here is going to be my split:

monday-cardio
tuesday: legs
wednesday: cardio
thursday: biceps, triceps, shoulders
friday cardio
saturday: cardio
sunday: chest and back

I am hoping to keep it like this for a while. May adjust it and move back to its own day, will see how it works out tomorrow.

Hopefully I will be able to keep the focus and avoid the crap from before that took me outta this for awhile.

[BIGBRI]

New pics will be up here in 2 weeks.

Hopefully I can make some good progress with the diet and weight by then.

Also, diet will be posted each weekday.

Please critique my diet when it is posted and offer any suggestions to get me back on track.

[Bruteman]

Just realized this was you and your new journal. Had to make my first appearance in it. As always, good luck in reaching your goals my man. We'll all be hear to back ya'.

225ish @ 15% huh? We actually have the same goals, just taking different roads to get there.

[BIGBRI]

Bruteman-Thanks bro. It will take a lot of work, but I think i am up to the task :)

[BIGBRI]

changing the split again and making sunday cardio day and monday chest and back. works out better that way.

[Stephen Riddington]

Brian, your goals look attainable to me, and I am very confident that you'll achieve them.

As for the fat free milk, I don't really trust the "fat free" label, because usually they add sugar or something to make it taste better. But I'm not experienced in having those "fat free" foods, so I'll trust your judgement on this.

[Focused70]

:spam:

Good luck to you, bud.

Stash

[BIGBRI]

homer: thanks you are right about the fat free mailk. I will try to change it

soba-thanks bro

2 cups broccoli

meal 4
3 oz carb control yogurt
1 can tuna fish
1 fat free tortilla

meal 5
6 oz steak
propel fitness water

[BIGBRI]

please let me know if i should continue this.
I use this for motivation, and when noone replies it is of no use for me to update it.

[JustinF]

Bro, you need to do this for you. The motivation needs to come from inside.

As long as you keep posting in here the comments will come. Sometimes people just don't have time to check it out everyday.

[BIGBRI]

Justin: You are right the motivation for improvement has to come from me and it does.
Maybe I misspoke. What i meant when I made my statement was this, with everything that has happened to me this year, IE: the stroke, another stoke, marriage problems, family problems losing my job...etc. Reading the comments in here helps me to keep up my self image to see that people are interested in what I am doing.

Maybe other people dont care about the comments like i do, when I see the comments it makes me feel better with all the other crap going on, to know that people want to see me succeed.

Again maybe that is just me being weak,

[BIGBRI]

meal 1
6 oz steak strips
2 fat free tortillas

meal 2
protein bar

meal 3
2 6 oz chicken breasts
2 cups broccoli

meal 3
2 biscuits
cesear salad

meal 4
12 oz steak 1 cup mixed veggies

[Stephen Riddington]

I agree with Justin, sometimes it's ok to have a bad day, try not to have it consistently. :D

Benching looking real good. :thumbup:

[Bruteman]

Good goin' bro'. Is the sugar staying under control?

[BIGBRI]

homer: thanks man. Ya I am working on being more consistent. working with a personal trainer friend from work going to design a program enough ****ing around time to do it

bruteman:thanks bud. yeah the sugars are doing amazingly well. My last hemoglobin test that measures the sugar over a 6 month period was 7.5% the time before that it was 6.9 anything below 7.5 and i am doing awesome. about a year ago i was sitting at 9 something so i am making improvements there.

hoping to get a workout in again tomorrow after talking to the trainer.

[Coke]

Wish you the best with this new $hit dude - ;)

overall felt good today. good to be back in the swing of things. tomorrow is legs.

[BIGBRI]

i am thinking of trying one of those NO boosters that improve your vascularity and blood flow.

It is strange even though i am not bulking i am getting bigger and more muscular I seem to be staying at the same weight. Maybe i am losing and then gaining back in muscle not sure.

I definitely want to keep getting bigger and more muscular.

OH also pics are coming in 2 weeks.

good or bad I will post them here. I think i have made progress in some areas and regressed in others.

My traps and shoulders are the 2 parts that are growing the most right now

[JustinF]

Nice work in here Brian. I'd stay away from those for now. Just keep doing what you're doing. It sounds like you are recompositioning rather than cutting or bulking. Good stuff!!

[BIGBRI]

thanks Justin.

[BIGBRI]

meal 1
2 cans tuna fish
16 oz propel fitness water

meal 2
protein bar
small banana

meal 3
2 6 oz chicken breasts
2 cups broccoli

meal 4
2 servings nitrean
32 oz propel fitness water

[Stephen Riddington]

I agree with Justin, no need for that NO stuff now. Just focus on losing the unneccessary fat. Nice pressing, seeing some strength gains in some exercises.

PS: Looking forward to the pics, I hope to post mine up soon, just as soon I find someone to take them. :D

[BIGBRI]

thanks homer.

Had to skip legs again today..knee acting up yet again not sure what the deal is with it lately.

will maybe try it again tomorrow if not...then tomorrow will be shoulders and arms.

[BigNic]

hey bro, congrats on the new goals, im sure you'll achieve them. Also, when you mentioned how your weight isnt changing but your looking bigger, i had the same thing happen to me when i first started. I didnt gain much, but looked much bigger. I assume it is loss of fat along with the gain of muscle that causes this. Anyway best of luck man!

[BIGBRI]

bignic: thanks bro. that is what i think is happening to me. I am not that concerned about the weight anymore. just want to get more muscular

[Coke]

...them subtle changes here and there is what its all about - keep on with it bro.

will adjust tomorrow to higher calories and more fat today i forgot the fish oil will take that tomorrow and add it in

[galileo]

Based on your diet, you're getting roughly :

900 calories
17g fat
28g carbs
157g protin

That's asinine. You are near 250lbs, you should be eating way more than that. You're effectively destroying your metabolism by doing this and it's going to end up being antiproductive at some point.

Again, I suggest a diet that looks similar to this :

3000 calories
200g fat
50g carbs
250g protein

Your workouts will be more meaningful and you'll be losing fat, not "weight." After a few weeks you can drop some of the fat and go to 2800 calories.

You need to keep in mind that when you're losing weight, you'll only look better if that majority of it is fat. Otherwise, you're going to look the same, just smaller. Please take heed to my advice, 900 calories is starvation for a man your size and I'd assume your hormones are in shambles as a result.

[Mik]

I'd have to agree with gal brian. I find if I drop cals too low fat loss slows and energy levels drop too much. Good luck!

[BIGBRI]

ok thanks gal..I will bump it up to 2000.

thanks mik..i dont need luck...just need to stay dedicated.

also the diet that was posted above is missing 3 meals.

but I will raise it to 2000 calories. I have been taking in much more then 900 though...i will post a link to my fitday later.

Thanks fr your help gal

[galileo]

I believe you need to up your fats/proteins a bit more and get yourself to at least 2500 calories.

[BIGBRI]

ok.

with the same amount of protein 250? or more

and 200 grams of fat? and 50 carbs?

[galileo]

250g protein, a minimal amount of carbs 50-100g (considering you are diabetic), and whatever fat you need to hit 2500. That would be from 120g-145g of fat.

[BIGBRI]

Thanks gal...i will work up to the 2500 calories and see what fat loss i get over the next few weeks and if i am not losing will reduce in 100 cal increments.

knees are feeling better today...going to try the leg workout today...problems I am having may be caused by these damn dress shoes i have to wear...new job wont let me wear tennis shoes only on fridays :(

[BIGBRI]

no leg workout again. tried to do leg extension and the knee popped. :(

went a tad overboard today with the protein the problem was we only had 2 chicken breast left....and one was 14 oz and the other was 6 oz...

so i went a little over on calories and about 120 over on protein. (at least it was on a good workout day so i can put the protein to use :))

will go food shopping tonight so i have somemore of the presized chicken breasts.

damn that chicken was good though

weight is 243 this am that is only 1 pound from last week dang it...guess need to lower hte calories and bumpb up the intensity on the cardio

[BIGBRI]

some guy on bodybuilding.com is telling me that i need to stop relying on the scale..and not to set weight goals...man i am glad this board is where i do the majority of my posting...he is making no sense.

goals keep you motivated...he says i am relying too much on the scale and not enough on the mirror...that is BS...i see WAY more changes in the mirror then what show on the scale

[mattburns]

a pound a week is still bloody good bri:D

what have you been averaging out a week as far as loss of weight goes?

[BIGBRI]

well the first week i think i lost 7 or 8 pounds...2 week ago i lost 3...last week i lost 2.5 i think and this week it is 1..

[BIGBRI]

ok..since i started posting the weight in fitday September 12th...i was 250 pounds...today i am 243...so that is 7 pounds lost fitday says it averages out to 2.33 pounds a week

[mattburns]

ok cool, well it seems if you keep going the way you're going you'll be down to 225 in no time ;) tweaks in your training and such are bound to happen.

[BIGBRI]

matt: thanks bud.


well i just learned AGAIN why i dont post on bodybuilding.com

since posting my pictures up there i have been told the following

1. bro get a tan you are as white as the cum i spray on your mamas face
2. i am so fat that i should just commit suicide.
3. and if i have made so much progress to be where i am now i must have really been a fat **** to begin with
4. and this is the worst...that the above comments about my mother and committing suicide were simply constructive criticism.


damn i am glad people are not like that on this board

[Jabberwocky]

Damn you internet!!!! Screw the negativity of a bunch of junior high kids, you are making awesome progess bro. I tend to limit what webpages I view because alot of sites just have really negative people.

[BIGBRI]

obsoletemodel: thanks...i learned my lesson lol i will stay here.:)

[BIG C]

Did you see any pics of them? Probably a bunch of losers trying to give advice! Don't worry about those guys dude.

Just keep lifting. :thumbup:

[BIGBRI]

big c: no they are afraid to post etheir pics...i even challenged one of them to...just cra[ppy that people need to slma you to make themsevles feel better

[Focused70]

you mean there are other bodybuilding forums out there?

I really need to get out more often. ;)

Seriously, some people (the immature idiots on bb.com) have no life beyond a wet dishrag.

Stash

[Frozenmoses]

Bodybuilding.com has always been a breeding ground for assclowns. WBB is without a doubt THE definitive online bodybuilding community.

[Stephen Riddington]

bb.com rules are lax, so that why they can make comments like that. I'm glad wbb.com rules is made for encouragement and support, not to bring ppl down and ****.

[BigNic]

bb.com is ****ing worthless. I used to post there, they are the biggest bunch of posers ever. Just going through there forums gets me pissed off. You know how far youve come bri, and thats all that matters.

[BIGBRI]

soba: w0rd.

fromo: wbb is the greatest forum i have ever belonged to..i love this place.

homer: w0rd

nic: thanks bro...i know i have come a long way since i started...the light is much brighter now then it was. :)
