Hip surgery rehab dear diary
« on: July 28, 2014, 11:59:10 AM »
Following Sev and Borat's Simple Simon's example I'm going to spend the next month stripping off some lard. I have elective hip surgery in exactly a month so I'd like to be as trim as possible to deal with the recovery and hopefully it won't have me out the gym for too long.

I look like a bag of smashed Shizzos right now so I wont be posting any before pics - weighed in at 245 last time I stepped on the scales and the abs are currently hiding under too many large pizzas :-\ I'll be logging my food and workouts like anyone gives a fuck but it should keep me accountable.

Diet

Breakfast - Rockstar lemonade (6g's carbs - the magic number for preworkout according to Lyle McD)

I had a Last Supper last night so I didn't need anything more.

In the gym at 7 with the missus , she always goes in the AM and I figure I can join her.

DB inclines, paused, slow reps not locking out. (All weights in American since I live here now)

90 x 6, 110 x 8, 90 x 13

One arm DB flat

75 x 8,8,8, 90 x 9

Decline Cable press one arm, 3 x 12

Pushdowns 6 x 20, laterals 6 x 20

Lunch will be 9oz of turkey, some feta and spinach and broccoli + garlic sauce

Dinner will be a big bowl of beef soup with veggies.

very true - if you push unilateral work too hard it can really ruin your day.. but I'm using about 50% of my max working weight on those one arm presses and taking 6+ seconds to slowly lower, pause and squeeze up each rep, its not a weight that's going to flip me off the bench or drop on my face.

For one arm DB floor presses (one of my mainstay pressing exercises) I do go a lot heavier, those I have to force myself not to go to failure otherwise indeed you can mess yourself up by dropping the DB on yourself when the stabilizers suddenly short out at the end of a set

How do you do the one-armed cable presses and still stay balanced?

I wouldn't let no-one rate me at my best much less now, it would end with a tear-soaked tub of ben and jerrys  :'(

2nd day no carbs, feeling like absolute shite now but otherwise no hunger to speak of.

Brekkie - bowl of beef and veg soup
lunch - 10oz turkey burgers + spinach
Dinner - Crap little chicken salad at work

Training at the local ghetto gym in the AM is getting very old, I might switch back to lunchtime workouts in my nice office gym where there are no Hebrews trying to out-Alpha each other

DB row 130 x 20 (perfect form on these, controlled reps)
Rack pulls from the knees 495 x 15
Shrugs 135 - 3 x 20
Hammer High row 8 x 8 with rope handles to let me twist my grip in. Last 2 sets to failure, slow squeeze reps
DB curls 8 x 8

Will probably just do weekly updates otherwise this will get as annoying as daily Facebook Food Porn updates

I'm buying a set of 80,90,95,100,105,110,115, 125 gym quality Ivanko DB's for $800 tomorrow which is dirt cheap, will be using my garage whenever possible

Actually,in spite of eating tons of crap,and on zero gear for almost a year,haven`t trained at all in about 2 months (very rare for me to even miss one single workout normally),I don`t look as terrible as I make it out to be,but I just can`t get motivated anymore.

I know I will eventually though.

no, but it would be a quick way of dropping a few pounds  :-\

Rolling three days deep in the diet and now I think I'm mentally used to it. Three meals a day, no 'nibbles' and about 1500 cal.

Strength is starting to take a wee hit but hopefully that will turn around when I add tren

currently on 200 test and 100 mast /100 deca , I'm going to bump that up a bit once my strength really starts taking a tumble + add in another 8m ephedrine pre workout.

Legs, paused front squats 3 x 7 with 275
Light back squats 3 x 8 60 secs rest
Hack squat machine 3 x 8
Hams 8x8
Calfs 8x8

My hips and back make it hard to get a decent leg workout in

Down 7lbs so far since Monday, I know it's all bloat and glycogen but its still nice.

Workouts are getting especially shite, I have zero pump on no-carb no matter what my rep range  :'(

DB Flat presses, slow and with a pause on my chest

105 x 14, 115 x 10, 110 x 8 (no more gas in the tank)

Light incline DB presses and floor presses, laterals and pushdowns for a shit-ton of volume.

Will be cooking up some tren/mast/NPP blended brew tomorrow to add to my HRT to stop me shrinking up to nothing

down to 233 after leg training today, that's 12 down since this time last week

If only it was all fat and not mostly water and undigested food  :'(

Will post pics when I hit 225 again.

3 small meals a day, trace carbs , share a medium pizza with the missus on a Friday night. No cardio yet.

I use both DB, keep one in resting Position while I do 12-15 reps with the other. This way it keeps me somewhat balanced. Then I switch.

Strong as hell, nice to see someone using a solid weight yet not over taxing himself, repping out and dropping all the way to the floor, no shaking no rattling this is how you bodybuild people.
