Day 6 - Monday - March 16

Sleep - 7 hours - on track - start/stop - poor

Consumption - solid

Breakfast - 1 bowl of cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats w/ Almonds with light soy milk
Snack - 2-3 wedges of canteloupe
Lunch - half a footlong chicken bacon ranch subway sub - sans cheese - lettuce, onions, green peppers, sweet peppers, the spicy stuff they have on the line, and some ranch.
Snack - 2-3 wedges of cantaloupe
Dinner - the rest of the aforementioned sandwhich
Snack - 2 1/3 fried eggs and a slice of double fiber wheat toast, a small fuji apple. I held out and didn't eat popcorn for 24 - could be chalked up to sloth. An hour before going to bed, the hunger hit and I ate some cheese and crackers - approx. 10 crackers and 15 1cm cubes of cheese.

Workout* - biceps and shoulders
seated curls dumbbells - 3x10 35lb
military dumbbell press - 3x10 35lb
+ seated shrugs w/ dumbbells - 3x10 35lb hold 10 seconds on last rep
standing curls - E-Z curl bar - 1x8, 1x6, 1x5 - approx. 85-90lbs - 25+14 on each side but one of the 25's has a crack in it and seems to be missing some heft.
standing flies - 2x10 20lb 1x25lb
hammer curls dumbbells - 3x8 25lb (left arm, right arm, both arms = 1 rep)
front raises dumbbells - 3x8 10lb (left arm, right arm, both arms = 1 rep)
+ standing bent over reverse butterfly - hits the rear delt - 3x10lb
Sit-ups - decline bench - 2x30 - between the above exercises


*I do exercises in succession switching b/n body parts with minimal rest between individual sets, viz., set of curls, pause, military press
+doing an exercise immediately after - military press, then drop the weight and do shrugs


Lessons of the day:

I need to add more protein to dissipate hunger. I bought 14+ lbs of protein - I will let you know how they work once they come in the mail - I purchased on the interwebs - doi.

Two types, whey and casein.

Whey
  • Reasoning -whey absorbs quickly, within about an hour of ingestion
  • Use - post workout and meal replacement throughout the day
Casein
  • Reasoning - casein absorbs slowly, 7 hours or so after ingestion
  • Use - before sleep to help w/ muscle regeneration and curb late night cravings, mixed in during the day to curb hunger as well
