I have trained every day for eight days in a row now. Very light weight. Today I did 10 sets of DB laterals for my shoulders with 5lbs. each hand and 20 reps per set.
Then I tried to do Smith Machine shoulder press. It felt weird (only 10lbs.) so I did two sets of 10 reps and that was it.
Yesterday was back and chest. Ten sets of 5 to 30 reps on Smith Machine Rows. The weight was 30lbs. For chest I did 5 sets of 10 to 30 reps Smith Machine bench press with 20lbs. and then 5 sets of 10 reps for DB flys with 15lb DBs. That was it.
For about a two weeks now I have been eating two cans of tuna for breakfast and then up to 5lbs a week ground beef )80/20) and 3lbs of bratwurst weekly. I also eat about 3 of those broasted chickens a week but they have been out most of this past week so I only had one. I sometimes drink non-fat milk but usually I drink about a gallon a day of (weak) iced tea with cranberry or boysenberry juice in it. I had some sourdough bread in a chicken sandwich. Sometimes a large sweet potato with dinner. I used to eat one/half to one family sized box a day of Cheerios or Raisin Bran but no more. I felt flabby so I cut down on carbs and decided to concentrate on meat, chicken and tuna fish for at least a month or two.
I might try hard boiled eggs soon. Just a couple a day along with some cheddar cheese slices. Not a lot though. I feel weak and am hoping the food and exercise help me out. I take an iron supplement but nothing else. I eat a couple of bananas a day but perhaps I should get a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement? I am going to consume about a half pound of chicken now as I have to take my medicine and they said it should be with food. I have a very fast metabolism. It has been that way my entire life. When I worked construction I drank half & half and then whipping cream for the calories.
The training log here and with Wes and the other "advanced" one I think it's called have all been helpful. When I feel bad about my training I just watch one of those bhanky posing things and laugh my self stupid!
Thanks Nat!
