So, I stopped doing the video series around April 25th, and stopped blogging around the same time, due to the fact that I felt it was clouding my judgment, and I felt I started working out, just to do the videos and blog, not for the results.
I may start up the blog again (on a regular basis), and I might start the videos up again, but both will be under different terms.
Now, over the past month that I have kept quiet about my situation, I have had some sick gains.
First, I will go over diet, for the weeks of April 26th, and May 3rd, I was planning on a cutting timeframe. Over those 14 days I averaged 3184 Cals, 555.7g Carbs (66.3%), 47.3g Fats/12.9g SatFats (13.5%), and 157g Protein (20.2%). I went from 187 to 179. While adding perhaps 1-2 lbs of muscle, losing 5 lbs fat, and 4 lbs of water. (Basically I know I gained muscle, and lost fat and water (due to being a little more cut).
Second, I will go over diet, for the weeks of May 10th, and 17th. I had a hockey tryout the weekend of the 13-15th, so I knew I had to gain back some water weight, and bump up my carbs and fats slightly. But for the rest of the time I was still in cutting phase. SO the only reason the numbers are elevated is because of the reasons above, and for those 3 days I averaged something like (don't have exact numbers) 4500cals, 700g carbs, 75g fat, and 150g protein. We were doing like 6 hours of working out every day in that timeframe so I needed it, and thus burned it off....but here we go. 3661 Cals, 628g Carbs (66%), 62g Fat/16g SatFat (15%), 168g Protein (18%). Right now I am at about 184lbs so I definitely gained more weight through that time, but I presume it is minimal fat, 1-2 lbs water, and 3-4 lbs muscle.
I have changed up my workouts a little too. For the week of April 26th I did the same old, same old workouts.
1) 3 Sets(ea workout), 6-8 Reps(ea set), 4-6 Workouts/Muscle group, 20-40 secs between sets, 60-90secs in between changing workouts, 2 workouts supersetted at a time.
From the 5th-12th I did nothing but Plyometrics and Cardio ramping up for the Tryouts starting on the 13th. On that note, I made the cut :).
Starting back on the 16th, I didn't play hockey all week, for a small break (haven't had a break in at least 2 months), and due to a concussion, but I gym'd all week, and I mixed it up.
I'm not sure if it has a title, but basically I did;
2) 4 Sets(ea workout), 12-15 Reps, 4-6 Workouts/Muscle group, 0sec rest between sets, 60-90secs in between changing workouts, 2 workouts supersetted at a time.
I actually saw better gains in that week than in the last 3 months. So when I am on my own working out, I will start doing 1 week of each off and on.
Starting June 4th, I will be training for my next hockey season in Maryland. We will be on the ice 5 days a week, and off-ice 5 days a week. I will probably also do my workouts too, depending on my level of tiredness.
Another thing I started doing was riding my ROAD bike a lot of places, instead of driving. For two reasons, first to cut back on gas used, and second to get some more cardio.
Below is my before and after pictures. Nothing too amazing out of these pics, if the picture had 3 images in them, it was March 17, April 20, and May 23, if only two pictures it was just April and May.
