are potatoes bad? Why? I have them once or twice a week only.
Ya well, i dont have a lot of choices at times when it comes to bread...it's whether whole wheat from subway, or white from other places that dont offer whole wheat..and some offer whole wwheat but with bad content inside.
At our gym we use this inbody analysis machine...im nto sure what calipers are and i dont think we have that stuff here.
i dont know if i like anything in life to begin with to know if i like what im doing or not.
the only reason why is high is because of the muslce:fat ratio i think.
I have 15kgs of fat and 21kgs of muscle.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
bleh...i can lose fat more than gain muscle..and i hate this. in 6 months i barely made any progress look at it NOW from this point of view...just almost 3 kgs in 6 months.
body shape sucks you wouldn't want it. skinny legs, wide hips, gain fat easily around stomach, wide shoulders...and very very very short. standing at 5'2
i didnt know whole wheat at subway was bad! but italian is whitem how can that be BETTER? how much muscle do you have? :'(..
i mean does it make sense standing at 5'2, 15kgs of fat, 21kg of muscle, weigh 53.8, wasit is 27, hips is 37, chest is 34...wrist is 6...is it possible that iam truly BF% at 28? Sometimes i am not sure if it's true or not. I ALWAYS HATED numbers.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Trust me i am far away from skinny-fat. I am not even skinny enough to be consiered one of those people who have flat stomachs and no meat at all. Yeah LBM is about 36.6 + the 15kgs of fucking fat. too much fat *sigh*
I dont know what i want from exercise and normal lifesttyle anymore. Why is it few bad meals a week ruin the whole other 40 meals..it's frustrating..
sometiems i thin keating healthy fat makes me fat. i truly feel like that.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
that's what happened when i first started...and i know the results will be great, but can i keep up? obviously not. but when i was doing 100% healthy and weght training and doing cardio i didnt gain any muscle, just lost 3% fat. but geez to gain fat is what bugs me the most. im so cnfused at this point of life.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Look, you're going to potentially gain some Fat with muscle. Expecting no Fat with muscle gain is unrealistic, unless you take Steroids, which would absolutely be the wrong thing for you 10,000% guaranteed.
You gained 0.2% of Fat, it's hardly the end of the world. You're also not depressed, so stop over-exaggerating please. Bummed out maybe, but not depressed. You're just looking for reasons to crap on yourself, because really you're just someone who right now, is coming across like they prefer things to go a little bit wrong, because that feels normal. Consistent good things for a whole week or more would feel strange.
Salad making your Stomach upset sounds weird. I know that I am not in possession of your Gastric sesnations, but it still reads a little bit perculiar.
The thing you have to try and do, though this may sound hard, is to start believing more in yourself and less in the I can't scenarios.
Half the stuff you say makes you sound like one of the weirdest people on Earth, that has physical sensations, odd reactions to certain foods, major aversions to many foods, major aversions to feeling positive about yourself. Sometimes you sound depressed, though perhaps slightly inflating your own feelings, it's like you're someone that is a walking conundrum that doesn't understand themselves most of the time.
The fact is, you're not weird, because in many ways you're normal, but it's like not quite understanding yourself. as if you have something inside of you, that doesn't make complete sense, or a Jigsaw that isn't put together properly, so you get two bits of sky that appear to fit on the top, but they are actually in the wrong place, yet you can't tell.
You need to start accepting yourself more and stop living as if certain things are out of your ability and cannot be done.
We accept we don't live your life, nor do we live in the UAE, so we cannot know what it's like to live there, but most of us here live in countries that are developed, can be stressful, hectic, uncertain, complicated sometimes. You are not someone living in a freaky bubble that no one gets and nobody can understand when you tell thme what it's like.
You have ot stop giving yourself a hard time. Your life is NOT crappy. You've got a decent job, your health, strength someonewhere to live and a better eixtsance than a load of people, some of which know what crappy living is every day, but never get 10% more of what they want, even when the whole 100% is what is what they deserve, because it's not some flight of fancy existance very few will ever know.
Don't you sometimes get sick and tired of talking crap about yourself and wonder if you're doing it, because it's genuinely how you feel, or it's something that makes you feel better about things, rather thna saying nice things about your life too much which feels weird, as if having a few good days is somethign you are not meant to have, because I can tell you know it is and furthermore, I think you get a few days in a row that are good, but can't accept them, because they don't feel normal, unless you find little pissy things to carp about.
We cna all do that, btu if I did that I'd start to sound like a total dick. if I went round all day, complaining about how e-mails were a little slow arriving one time when I logged on, or I bumped hand on something, or split a bit of milk and then make out the bit of spilt milk is akin, to having something seriously wrong with me, when it's not.
You cannot keep self defeating, because you're not worth that. You don't deserve to make yourself feel like crap, because you're NOT crap. you're a human being that can't or won't cut themselves some slack.
It's like you want to feel better about yourself, but you just can't, as if feeling better, will make the next bad thing feel twice as bad when it happens.
You live well, but treat yourself like crap. You exaggerate a lot of little things, which is not fair to you. You're a walking microscope, just looking for any little thing to chastise yourself with it would seem.
Sometimes I want to tear a strip off you, for being so damn mean and blunt with yourself, because I know what sort of person you really are and I know what it's worth, but you won't let yourself see that, or let yourself feel like that.
It's like you in some ways want to fail at certain things, because it feels normal. Be proud of yourself for once will you. You have a good job and compared to who you were before, when you couldn't do anything for about three days without screwing up and acting like you lived on another planet a lot of the time, you have come such a long way.
I want you to be proud of yourself, you frustrating butthead, because I'm proud of you and if I was with you now, I'd possibly be swearing back at you, but I don't, because I don't think it's place to do that here.
So what, that sometimes things don't work out like you want them too, hey, join the real world, but you're not alone and you're not unique. Many things you gripe about others have been through too. You're not some freak that has a freaky life nobody understands, so just cut yourself some slack will you.
You have NO reason to be so hard on yourself and you know it. Look deep inside yourself, what do you REALLY feel, not what you feel in a moment or a heartbeat, or for a few hours. What are some of the things you really feel and think about yourself, that you seem to scared to admit?
What are you really hiding in your head and what will it take for you to finally have the heart, to admit certain things you are afraid to admit?
Come on, give me something different to read for a change, because until you start to admit things that can help you move on, you'll just forever keep progressing, as someone that constantly browbeats themselves, because they think it's all they can do.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
I just needed sometime to get a breather...and I am NOT a screw up. and I didn't gain MUCH of fat to really worry about. I know I can reduce bf% maybe I'll never have it as low as 20 as I wish for the time being...but the imp thing is to keep on going, that's all.
I mean yesterday people came up to me and introduced themselves to me saying: "I enjoyed seeing you sprint" sounds weird, eh! Other people asked me how do you do it - train yourself? I have to keep in mind I may not have progressed SO much because I don't have a trainer with me at all times, but I did ALOT ON own, haven't I?
I am sort of worried about one thing though...could drinking syntha-6 make me fat? I sort of have it, ehm, 4 times a day. 1) morning, cuz i can't have a real breakfast due to no time, before workout in one hour, cuz i am always tired when i go to the gym and having it helps a bit, and AFTER workout...and then again at night. Mornings and nights are usually half scoops.
Should I be worried about upping healthy fat? This whole week I reduced carbs at most and increased healthy fat. I always have this fear that healthy fat will make me fat even if i know it's not true...
In one day I have about 3 servings of healthy fat, about 600-800 calories or so. Protein is definitely around 100-130g even. so say about 500-600 cals. The rest comes from carbs. I guess I am at 40,30,30? I don't know...i hate the counting...
Soemdays i have really good workouts, really healthy meals, and ther days i have decent works and one freakin bad meal...i dunno what imsaying ill stop now.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
That's what I like to see, because I know you're not and I like to see you are not thinking that about yourself, because it matters to me what you think of yourself.skully wrote:I am NOT a screw up.
I know what I think of you and if you can think the same kind of things too, it will really help you in the long-term
.So if I ever sometiems come across as a bit hard, it's because I care and because it's for your own good. You're too negative sometimes and too unforgiving and deep inside of you is a good Heart and quite a lot of warmth and for becoming the person you are now, as opposed to who you were about 2 years ago, I am very proud of you and I actually do like you a lot and do care about you, but it does get up nose sometimes, watching you kick yourself down on occasion, because I know you're better than you make yourself out to be sometimes.
Yes life isn't always easy and yes I know that emotionally you sometimes are a little vulnerable and still getting used to a wider world perspective on life, so don't ever apologise for trying to be human and one of the biggest things you could have done in recent days, is admit you're not a screw up and that you do not have something massively wrong with you.
That's why I'm sending you a BIG, BIG PAT ON THE BACK, because it does matter what we both think of each other and it does matter that you understand the feeling and emotion, I try to convey in every message, because some messages are not the same as others and the tone can come across as different sometimes, but now and then I feel I need to get a little more tough with you, than perhaps others, because it is a little difficult sometimes to see someone I know is in some ways, a quite beautiful inner person, that reveals this negative, occasionally even ugly other side to their personality.
Though nothing you say would ever make me want turn around and go screw you, you're on your own, I'm done with you, because apart from one or two people that needed to be banned, for developing an attitude to others, I have and never would turn back on anybody here.
So whatever I have said before, I will stand by 100%. I won't apologise for it, but know that because I care, I will sometimes say something that may be a little tough for you to read, but it's precisely because I care, that I'm willing to make that effort for you and willing to take that time to write something firm but respectful, if only to challenge what you think of yourself and your situation / life.
Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
I looked this routine up in muscle strength.com, a 10-week program for muscle gain. Does this look like a muscle gaining program? Esp that only the firts few lifts I increase the weights? I am not sure. I had to remove and add a few things that I find necssary or cannot yet do. Also removed forearms from the program. Also changed the days to what suits me best
x(no.) is sets (10,8...etc) reps.
Friday - Legs
Dealiftx5 (10,8,8,6,4) -added by me
Squatx5 (10,8,8,6,4)
Leg extensionx3 (12)
Leg curlx3 (12)
Standing calf raisesx4 (12)
Saturday - Cardio. Either HIIT or bodyattack -Q, is doing HIIT after a legs day not good? And I mean hard-core sprinting (affect muscle gain?)
Sunday - Chest and Tricep
Barbell Bench Pressx4 (10,8,8,6)
Incline bench Pressx3 (8,8,6)
Dumbell flysx2(10)
Dumbell pulloverx2 (8)
Tricep extensionx4 (10,8,8,6)

If not. I'll stop it - keep it on hold- and do TBT for 4 weeks with lighter weights, then pick it up again. Sounds crazy, I know...but Ramadan is truly going to be tough to workout through.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
life for the next 2-8 weeks offically really sucks. no explanations required.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
scaringly its true..its funny how ewhn you smile people mile back at you..at welll...

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Bleh - the 40 minute extra ride in tehe car and being stuck in traffic is affecting ebergy levels greatly. I am thinkong of this in a such negatvie way, especially that Ramadan is next week - there will be a lot of stress - and changes at home, and no energy to do anything..so im like..yeah the next 8 weeks will be such a backfire to the pasy 8 months. I just hope that I will be able to have a steady routine and continue exercises as normally as I could with the situation - but I am really starting to feel tired. In top of that - knee hurts like shit. I am actually starting to limp when walking, and it hurts a lot when I drive/sit in the office. (left knee, fyi.)
And i dont know what kind of cardio I can do that won't be counterproductive? Is biking okay if I have bad knees? I am dropping squats and sprinting until knee feels stronger.
I havent really updated much of anything in terms of exercise and food.
I literally all day long had this: broccoli, grilled chicken, broccoli, grilled chicken, mashed ptotaoes, and 3-4 protein shakes. one bad thing i had was mankst zatar or sth similar to it...fried white bread (i think its friend, or it was just olive oil with zatar (herbs))..but yeah...
I at least to get to walk more in the new office, i leave to go to tge supermakret and breathe the light of day - which is very hot!- Ah well, literally 8 more days and work is done..sadly yet thankully - i need a real break, BUT THEN..people will come to our house and our bathrooms for a week or so, while in ramadan and that means NO PRIVACY, NO REST...and im just....* head hurts*
Weights: I can handle more weights no, the other day I benched with 35kgs, liek 4 reps, but yeah! the new program i am doing is REALLY working out upper body ,but then again i always knew upper body gains muscles easier...hmm...legs are doing okay too from the looks of it.
thats all...-im so tired and dizzy.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
Whats going on with your knee? Did I miss something... did you injure it or is it your shoes? Swimming and biking would most likely both be better for your knees than something like running. Honestly I would experiment with some different exercises and if it hurts don't do it. If it doesn't hurt you should be fine. You might give the RICE method a shot for a week or so and see what happens... REST ICE COMPRESSION ELEVATE.... in other words when you get home at night lie in your bed, prop you foot up on some pillows, throw some ice on there and and literally chill out for a while. Do that for a few nights in a row and see if that helps. Definitely a good idea to cut out the sprints and squats until it feels better.skully wrote:Bleh - the 40 minute extra ride in tehe car and being stuck in traffic is affecting ebergy levels greatly.

I believe that I hurt myself while doing "full squats"...I found that doing half squats for me = does help me build quads only, but not the whole leg obviously since im not going doing 90 degrees...so when i attempted to go down, i think i hurt it but i started feeling the pain only a day after...dont believe its shoes..im wearing prope shoes for cardio and flat shoes for weight training..im gonna stick to biking for a while i suppose, and boxing at home....cant do bodycombat since work moved, i cant reach on time for the class *sniff*..and ramadan is coming up...but ya cardio will be within the lines of walking, biking, and elliptical machine for the next few weeks or so.
The program doesnt focus on low reps, only with the major big lifts at first..and everything else is like 8-12...which is good for now, cuz with ramadan i wont have energy to bench with 35kgs lol...! but yah... arms are defintely getting a workout...i hope that bikikng will help shape up legs as well, since im doing legs once a week.

Re: Skully's Journal (Diet/workout)
I know it has been ages since I posted...but I've been lurking in the shadows, really.
1) It's Ramadan! It started yesterday and so far I think I am doing REALLY good compared to the years before this. I've been sticking to healthy food most of the time, staying away from most bad stuff, and if I would have 'em it would be a small piece. food mainly consists of grilled chicken, salads, hummus, ww pastam protein shake and the like. I have a feeling I wont gain much -if any- fat this year
. I already lost weight (water weight tho).
2) Wow...today was last day of work -end of internship and what crazy day it was...*sigh* i am going to miss work. I felt I finally belonged somewhere despie some of the hiccups that came up along the way. They have really liked work and complimented me quite often ...they even gave me a big bag of gifts (a lot of FITNESS RLEATED)...I rubbed it on 'em...hehe. They know me as the person who walks 17 floors and lifts heavy...how cool is that. So yeah...im pretty sad...but i need the rest..esp now in Ramadan...
so yup these are updates...
oh and one of the gifts they gave me is a body compisition scale!! awesome for meeeeeeee
...I can track fat% at home..and even muscle%...it doesnt give the whole picture, but it definitely give me something to go on with.
In the day (fasted state) I was at 26.4%, lol....about 0.2% less since last time..haha and wanted to test how much i am at after have eaten..31% WOWIE...lol...i know i am at 26% range..so im good
