JJ’s FLASH LABS LOG - Getting better with age!

Some guys on other forums keep saying I need to up my fats. This is my response:

“Each of my 4 daily shakes has 8 grams of sunflower oil, 2 grams of fish oil, and 2 grams of MCT, and 5 grams of fat from oats, My total daily fat intake is 650 calories. My total calories is around 3,600. That’s 18% fat. Any higher wouldn’t be conducive to cutting unless I lowered my carbs which is a big no. Low carbs makes me flat and lethargic which will affect my training. I’m in this for the long haul, not a quick fix.”

I just had my 1st solid food meal of the day after 3 protein/oat shakes earlier. I think I went a big too hog wolf on the rice today. I’m actually full which I should never feel while dieting. I had 1/2Lb extra lean ground turkey 99/1, and 4 cups of steamed basmati rice. Definitely a carb heavy meal. But. it was post workout so it’s all good. I’ll call today my high carb day.

Meal #5 today was 1/2Lb London broil steak, 2 slices Dave’s 21 grain/seed toast, lettuce, tomato, mustard.
Meal #6 was 2 scoops syntha-6 EDGE Protein powder and 2 scoops oats. 2 fish oil caps, 2 MCT caps, 1 multi vitamin/mineral/fruit and veggie tablet.

Talking about all the injuries are they from years of lifting or something else

 

[johnjuanb1]

Lifting weights, other sports, fighting while working as a bouncer, nerve damage from degenerative disk disease.

LEG DAY:
I just finished my leg workout. I feel a bit nauseas now. I cut it off at 6 sets. My legs were toast at that point. My goal on legs is to keep the muscularity I have and enough strength to allow me to walk without my leg collapsing from existing nerve damage. My left leg hasn’t given out in awhile so I’m pleased.
I did 6 sets of dumbbell squats squatting with back upright 1/3 of the movement, then dead lifting the final portion of the movement and touching the dumbbells to the ground. I do the exact reverse on the way back up. Each set had 8-10 reps with feet shoulder width apart, followed by wide stance for 5-8 reps, followed by slightly inside shoulder width stance for 3-5 reps. So, 6 sets of 16-23 reps. Without dropping the dumbbells I did standing calf raises, 6-12 reps, followed by single leg calf raises without the dumbbells for 5-8 reps, followed by both feet calf raises for 5-8 reps.

nerve damage from degenerative disk disease.

Ouch

 

[Dirtnasty]

My goal form leg days is to walk like I have nerve damage for a day or two

 

[Jonny]

Why am I not surprised? Lol

 

[johnjuanb1]

It caused my left leg to shrink to 1/2 the size of my right leg. It’s still at least 1/3 smaller. The muscle on the outer sweep died. I’m just glad it doesn’t collapse any more. It’s embarrassing to walk and collapse at work in front of a bunch of people. They probably thought I was a drunk.

Since protein/oat shakes are a large part of my diet, here is the break down on what I drink: (2 scoops Syntha-6 EDGE, 2 servings oats, 2 grams MCT oil, 2 grams fish oil)

- 660 calories per shake.

- 58 grams protein

- 66 grams carbs

- 18 grams fat

The oats nutrition panel looks very familiar hahaha. I see it 2 or 3 times a day myself.

Happy Friday, UGM friends!

Today I’m driving out of state to go to my grandma’s 99th birthday party. I can’t eat the food my family eats. My blood pressure would sky rocket. So, today is going to be all protein/oat shakes with fish oil, MCT oil, and all my other supps.

I’ve had 3 shakes so far. I’ll have 4 more. :milk_glass:

The hotel I’m staying in has a real nice little gym with the best cardio equipment I’ve ever seen. It also has dumbbells up to 50Lbs and a couple benches. I brought my workout bands too. I’m going to do back and cardio tomorrow, and chest and cardio on Sunday. Maybe I’ll do some cardio today depending on time constraints.

I love family functions like that. My grandma was 94 when she died. I was the last one to see her too.
The life experience someone in there 90’s has is amazing. I could listen to em all day

 

[johnjuanb1]

So, today I’ve had 6 protein/oat shakes. One more to go. In all honesty, I have to admit, protein shakes only dieting sucks!!!
Tomorrow my uncle is making me food that’s on my diet: fillet mignon with all visible fat trimmed, a dry baked potato, asparagus, and a dry salad. I’ll have avocado on my salad for healthy fats. I’m also going to find a grocery store somewhere and pick up some deli London broil roast beef and rice cakes. I can definitely tell I need two food meals daily. I probably should up it to 3 meals and 3 shakes but 2 meals is easier time wise. I only brought chocolate flavor protein powder with me for 4 days. Without a doubt, peanut butter cookie flavor blows all the rest away!

BACK WORKOUT:

• 5 sets standing band rows
• 5 sets seated band rows
• 5 sets single arm reverse grip band rows
• 5 sets narrow grip band pulldowns

I’m so sore and wiped out not having my HGH with me. I feel a hundred years old without HGH.

 

[johnjuanb1]

Today’s diet was 5 protein/oat shakes and my one meal was:

• top sirloin steak(all fat trimmed)
• cauliflower
• salad(no dressing)
• asparagus

About how many hours between meals ?
