Johneffer Prep Log

I've paid a lot of attention to this thread and each time I read a new post I get all jacked up to finally commit to fitness. The nutrition aspect is what steers me away every time, wouldnt ya know I've been using stevia for a while (coffee) :)

John your fitness is inspirational!

Get out there man, lift some weights, do some cardio!

I've never done a workout and regretted it, it's a literal endorphin pump! If I don't workout I get grumpy, sleep poorly and self esteem tanks. You will feel so much better for it!

YMMV obviously but I find the nutrition part tends to follow the working out part.

Trying to lift on a diet of pizza and beer and burgers just feels like shit compared to lifting on a diet of veggies and quality meat. Most of the folks I trained didn't really need to be taught to eat well. But then we weren't trying to get in single digit body fat percentages like John. Different sports and all.

as a guy who tends to eat like shit in the off season and "dirty bulks" i can agree w that

When I am bulking I get depressed as hell and it's 100 % because of my diet
[doublepost=1583271979,1583247592][/doublepost]Only on 2nd day of diet but I feel like I'm losing a lot of water already. My face looks less bloated and during the day I've been getting weird heat spells where i just start feeling really hot and I sweat. I expect a big amount of weight loss this first week. Training with my dad tonight doing high intensity arms prob only an hour long workout. hit 25 mins of cardio this morning. Usually cardio ends up being about an hour a day for me at the end of the diet but we will see
 
I think you have an amazing diet/cycle plan that works for you, good job.

I am planning to cut and lose some weight to get beach lean or hoe ready whatever you wanna call it.

I pretty much eat the same things but I have like 50g of fat a day instead of cycling it.

Got a little too fat tbh probs gonna have to lose 20 lbs or so.

I would... not. Unless you're a 300 pound bodybuilder?

Dudes eating 2 pounds of meat and a dozen eggs a day, not to mention probably what... 300g of carbs? And he's in a prep phase and taking equine levels of anabolics.

You should eat for your size, body composition and activity level. Just like you don't start lifting by throwing 500# on the bar and trying to squat it, you dont start eating "right" by looking at what a dude does in the prime of his sports career and copy it. You gotta start small.

If you're curious what that looks like, I highly recommend the Renaissance Periodization app. We used that with a bunch of my lifters and saw them not just lean out but get stronger. It's $15 a month but you can follow its recommendations for a few months and get a good feel for it, and then just stop paying if that's a concern. I think there's even pirated spreadsheets out there for free if youre curious. Its really not hard to comprehend stuff, the app just makes it simple (and generates a shopping list every week, which I love because Im lazy)

Thx Choppy but I should have clarified better, lol. I just meant like the plan for alternating between the two diets and not the volumes he's eating lol I like the meals too but obvi not the portions... I'd waste so much food cuz I eat like a bird lol. I eat rather similar meals just not as strict or big. I hate fish tho, yuck. I've been in and out of gyms but never committed to an actual diet, ever. That's been the part that "scares" me away from fitness is the meal planning and dieting. I can lift stuff but when it came to applying my self to figure out meals I always made up excuses not to commit. After reading his posts it motivated me to copy and paste but immediately tone everything down to accommodate me :)

what do u weigh @Sketchbag and honest estimate of bodyfat ?
Click to expand...

180 lbs weight 189cm height and probably less then 10% fat id guess. Dirty gains tho haha, i liked that one! Mmmmmm beer... I'm a bean pole but lean and toned. Im not Flex Wheeler (i met him once!) but deffiatenly confident to rip my shirt off at the beach/pool. I was thinking i wonder what your folks think about your hardcore bodybuilding but i read your dad is into it too, that's even cooler. Scuzbag remembers playing with you too, haha, when i showed her your photos she was like "NO WAY THAT'S HIM" she also found it "neat" how you just drop your pants and take your photos lol. I dropped mine and asked her to take a photo of me in the kitchen but she didn't find it funny...
 
Weighed in at 289 lbs today. thats a hugeeee drop first week. Sending my coach updates tomorrow morning and also get to have a cheat meal tomorrow night

I try not to look forward to cheat meals or even think about it

obsessing over food is not a good way to think on a diet

just go thru it

you can live off a can of tuna and water everyday for a couple months, people have gone thru much worse of course. I try to never complain or let the hunger get to me

but thats easily said now when im still holding a lot of fat! Let's hope I keep the same attitude around stage condition ;)
 
Y’all should date
