Thursday
Trouble eating which is good on a cut.
Weighed in at 238.6 lbs after cutting another 200 calories per day. I am at the point of only have carbs and protein to cut. My fats are only at 35-40g a day.
Also watched some RP- Dr. Mike Israetel on some issues. I have watched my diet and I would see water fluctuations up to 5 lbs I think it is water anyways. Started ensuring I only drink one or two diet sodas a day and lots more water to ensure I am staying hydrated but also pushing fluids out to reduce retention.
Still not feeling 100 so I went to the gym anyways.
Chest and Back Day- Back First today
Cable Crossover Lat pulldown 3x12 33 lbs
I think of Wolverine when doing these
Bent over row wide grip 3x12 175lbs
Tendinitis is healing well hope to get to full strength on these.
Wide grip Lat pull down 3x10 165lbs
Landline Rows ( meadows rows) 3x10 140 lbs
Machine assisted pull-ups- rotator cuff damage makes these harder but I am determined to go beyond “well I got injured once” I will heal and be stronger.
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 3x12 85lbs
Bench Press 185 2x12, 205 2x10, 225 2x8
Started doing these second in rotation to prevent injury. I feel them better but the amount of weight I use has decreased significantly.
Dumbbell Incline Fly 3x12 45 lbs
Dips legs in front (another meadows tip) really hit the outside of the pec 3 sets, 15, 10, 7
Calories 1700
216 grams of protein
136 carb
35 g fat

Friday
Leg day
I did not hit quads much today. I should not have went to the gym. Not feeling the best, but still went.
Standing calf raises machine 3 second count 1 sec at top. 3x15 315lbs
Leg extensions 3x15 150lbs
No smith machine squats or lunges today
Prone leg curl 3x12 150lbs
Barbell good morning-off pin 3x10 205lbs
Cable standing leg curl 3x15 44lbs
Seated calf raise 3x12 245lbs
Current diet goals 2010 calories
This is actually below what my Basal metabolic rate tested at- my BMR was clinically tested at 2200. It is likely for these to change some. I have been dieting down from 275 since April so a slight decrease is appropriate.
215g protein
175g carbs
50g fats

MarvelNerd Old Dog Training Log
Weight loss- I have been extra careful with the diet. I was always the lift more eat more type. Bodybuilding itself is a different concept for me.
Since I lowered my diet soda intake and have watched the salt intake my weight has dropped consistently over the last week.
It is crazy because my weight didn’t budge for two weeks and now I am down 4 lbs in less than a week.
236 lbs this morning. Water fluctuations?

Thanks! Actually the place screwed up our reservation and gave our rooms away. They gave us 250 dollars for the mistake. We gave it to her to spend on breakfast, candy, and the arcade. She had the time of her life. Turned a bad deal into something great.

Alright e’er bodyyy this is John Meadows. Today we are going to do upper lat rows. Some people call them meadows and I’ll take it. Slow and drive that elbow back keep close to the body. The key to the back is the elbow. Lol
