Went back to the drawing board so to speak and made some small
adjustments and working towards best shape ever by 51st birthday coming
up soon. Before, I was getting too comfortable with the "minimalist
approach" and went a little too far on minimizing albeit very hard
set/reps per body part. I still do that approach and still do basically
one hard set per body part with the exception of one or two lagging body
parts that need to be hit hard from different angles therefore including multiple sets.
Keeping it going with the hard once a week workouts. Tuesday's upper body workout was very effective doing negative
only pullups, all rest pause chest work, etc. Next is legs on Saturday.
Continuing to improve through the holidays.
Staying lean into the holidays by working out hard and eating clean.
Staying motivated and working hard and being disciplined with
the eating. It's just a matter of getting into the groove and seeing
yourself as you envisioned motivates you that much more. It has a
snowball effect.
This very tasty high protein, carbohydrates, fiber and low fat meal has a lot of very healthy ingredients that will help build muscle and keep you very lean. It consists of baked chicken, tuna, raw spinach, slightly baked Idaho russet potato, black beans, raw garlic clove, red onion, calrose rice, shredded carrots, white distilled vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, tomato sauce, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Also, very easy to prepare.
Had a really good upper body workout on Monday. Did dips for
triceps. Mike Mentzer said they're the best all around triceps builder. I believe
it. Perhaps a tad leaner than last week. Plan to gradually keep getting
leaner every week. It's a challenge. After having a cheat meal on
Tuesday, it's time to get serious for the rest of the week with brown
rice, veggies and tuna, etc til Monday again.
