This morning's bench press workout was solid but I may be hitting a bit of a wall. Only got 4 on my first set of 5. First time I've stalled with the Slingshot. Love the hotter workouts. Hope to be able to resume deadlifts next Saturday if the knee holds out.

Indeed. I'll give deads another shot but squats are pretty much out of the question. Knee doesn't have the support on the outside that it needs.Azubuike24;1220596 wrote:Bad knees are a bitch...
I deadlift sumo style (long arms) so the knee won't get hit as much as doing deads conventional.

What are your carb/fat/protien ratios.
Just going over a typical day, I found my intake to be as such. I'm having no trouble maintaining weight. I am actually doing fine lifting etc. I just think i can do better. I guess I think I could lower my fat and increase my protein, and of course cut the booze...

Rarely is my carb intake over 100g's...even on a heavy lifting day. It's usually in the 30-50g range.OneBuckeye;1223197 wrote:What are your carb/fat/protien ratios.

Yeah I was thinking i'm on the high side for fat. I need to get more lean meat in my diet for sure. The wife doesn't like chicken so that makes it tough.

I'm doing a very cyclical carb diet. Heavy lifting 2-3 times a week. On a 9-day rotation. 2 off (just walking, stretching) and 1 on (intense kettlebell, dumbbell and sprintint). I tend to go highest carb on training days (150-200 grams) and lower fat. On the day after the 3rd day, I'll taper it down to very little (under 50 grams) with extremely high fat (150-200 grams). Protein is relatively consistent, 1-1.5 grams of body weight a day.

I am only lifting heavy three times a week with random swimming and walking mixed in. I need to get the extra protein since i'm at 175 lbs and on a good day getting 150ish grams of protein.

I feel like i should eat more - I'm between 1800 - 2200 a day on workout and non workout days. I'm not losing weight, but definitely seeing strength gains from doing 5x5 lifts.

A week today I'll be en route to Ireland for 10 days. Planning on doing some walking and hiking everyday. There are some amazing trails right by us, surrounded by 2 farms that specialize in making grassfed butter and various dairy products.
Also excited for the variety of meats there, knowing most, if not all are 100% grassfed.

Good news is that I got past my one week sticking point on the bench press. Will be moving up next Saturday. Bad news is a picture of me, post workout, below...

LOL at this. The starch solution. Good luck building muscle.

The Paleo Diet Is a Nutritional NightmareBy nature, the Paleo Diet is based on artery-clogging saturated fats and cholesterol, and bone-damaging, acidic proteins from animal foods. Respected researchers find that those modern-day hunter-gather populations who base their diets on meat, such as the Inuits (Eskimos), suffer from heart disease and other forms of atherosclerosis, and those modern-day hunter-gathers who base their diets on plant foods (starches) are free of these diseases. Osteoporosis, from their high animal food-based diets, is also epidemic among meat and fish consuming hunter-gathers, specifically the Inuits.
In an attempt to defend eating animals, Paleo teachers believe the harmful nutrients from these foods are counteracted by the addition of non-starchy fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds.

Good bench press workout. Hope to post a video of 405 lbs for reps in the near future. Off to Mountaineer to play some slots!
