Title: Anyone else bulking on Christmas Day?
Post by: Army of One on December 25, 2009, 04:52:52 AM
Im wondering about meal timings and getting away from the family to fit in a workout, anyone have any ideas for working the muscles while seated rounded the dinner table?Seated calf raises with your hot cousin on your lap?Arm wrestling with the skinny fat uncle who after seeing your rippling guns, tells stories of benching 550 in his prime?

Taking it easy for you means consuming 1000 calories today right?  ;D

As far as meals go, I'll be eating at a relative's house later with many family members. They are having ham and fried turkey, along with a bunch of other junk containing far too much fat, sugar, sodium, etc. So needless to say, I'll be bringing my own meals in my trusty cooler - baked turkey, grilled chicken and flank steak, brown rice, yams, broccoli, etc. Since I'll be there about half a day, I'll prepack at least 3 of these meals, along with a couple of mrp shakes in case traffic is bad or I otherwise get held up listening to boring family stories and anecdotes, looking at old pictures for the hundredth time, or whatever.

Regarding training, I always make it a point to avoid any physical activity outside of the gym. I don't arm wrestle - what if I tore a bicep or strained something? I could be out of the gym for days, weeks, or longer. The risk is not worth it. Even if I didn't get injured, the physical and mental stress of such a pointless undertaking could cause me to briefly go into a catabolic state, and would likely interfere with training intensity for a day or two as well.

ive been "dieting" for a few weeks...   but what ive been doing is eating only lean protein and vegetables untill after i train at night. then after that ill go ahead and chow down on whatever the hell i feel like. the first week or so i was gorging myself at night, and was still making progress. but now i dont want to eat the garbage at night anymore. last night i just had some fatfree yogurt, fruit salad, bread roll, and low fat apple pie ice cream.   so today ill probably just do a few protien/veggie meals, then tonight eat  up a bit of cake and pie and candy and thats about it

I think I've already ingested 7-8000 kcal today, yesterday the same. Fucking family gatherings. Once started with cakes, cookies and chocolate between the meals there's no stopping anymore, I could go on and on and on and on and......

Title: Re: Anyone else bulking on Christmas Day?
Post by: ChristopherA on December 25, 2009, 10:06:50 AM
Probably have one decent sized cheat meal today and had one last night also. Now I will end up dieting through the weekend to make up for it and might even go for a walk today because the gym is closed. I know, I am hardcore have no life . Its just that I am 3-4lbs from being in the shape of my life and I am obsessed.

It was interesting to see what "normal" people eat.

I only ate tuna and rice and protein shakes so I could have an optimal nitrogen balance.

I'm not really ripped right now but I keep my weight in check simply by reducing calories again for the next days.
