Entry #409

I opted for no assistance work today. There was a mild case of "tennis elbow" after benching. It'll be fixed by next week.

Bench press was at 285 lbs. for three reps. It was even easier than last time. I definitely could have done more, but this is the last week before everything is cycled through.

  1. Hope everything clears up well for you. Question, also (since you don't receive messages =P).I was wondering how you measure out your malt/dex, and how much you use. Right now I just throw in a quarter cup of each for my post-workout shake. I'm trying to figure out if that's too much or not enough. Any help would be appreciated.

  3. http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/pwcalculator.phpOr, if you'd rather not download anything:"Based on the literature, on a bulk-up plan, we advise the amount of carbohydrates consuming 5 grams of carbohydrates per every 10 pounds of lean body bodyweight. Lean body fat would be defined as the bodybuilder’s bodyweight after they have subtracted their body fat percentage. So a 200lb man would not necessarily ingest 100 grams of carbohydrates post workout. If his body fat percent were say, 16%, he would instead consume eighty-four grams post workout. This is calculated by taking the body weight of 200 lbs times 16% for a calculation of 32 lbs excess body weight. Subtracting the 32 lbs from the original 200 lbs would allow us to know the lean body weight, which in this case equals 168 lbs.On a cutting phase we advise consuming 2.5 grams of carbs per 10 pounds of lean bodyweight. The goal here is to consume just enough to suppress cortisol and replenish glycogen stores, while still catering to a calorie restricted diet."

  4. I've read that and have the calculator, I was just wondering what you use to measure it out, so I can make some sort of comparison or figure out what I should be using to measure.

  5. I use that formula. Do you mean the measuring tool? A 5 gram creatine scooper for the dextrose and a 1/2 cup measuring cup for the maltodextrin.
