dbish77's training journal

dbish77 · 09-17-2005, 07:01 PM

Alright, I'm new here but I've been around at some other boards for a while now. I'm a true freshman at a D-1AA school who is getting redshirted this year, so I'm in my offseason now. I am about 300lbs at between 18-21% bf, I can get a consistent reading, so all I know is that I'm fat. We run a zone offense so I don't really need to be 300lbs to be effective here, so I'm going to cut down. My plan is basically 3,000 cals/day with at least 200grams of protein/day, and using practices and extra weekend speed/agility work as cardio. After the season I will get a more specific plan, but for now all I can really control is my diet. My only supps to start will be ON Whey bracketing my workouts, a multi, 6g Vit. C, and some fish oils when I can get to the store. (as we all know, us fatties don't really need much help losing in the beginning, as long as we eat well)

Welcome to the site man. You should up both your cals and your protein intake in your planned diet. Minimum protein for you should be 300g which would only be 1g per pound of bw. Cutting you should be aiming at 450g to start to maintain muscle. You don't want to cut and eat up all your muscle do you? Also your cals should be 500cals below maintenance which at 300lbs would be approx. 15x300 or 4500 cals. As you drop weight you can adjust those #'s. Cheers

As far as cals, I agree...I'm going to start at 4,000 cals and work it from there. As far as protein, I actually disagree. Why base protein intake on total bodyweight? For example, I have a LBM of 240-250 and between 50-60lbs of fat, do I need to take in more protein than someone who has a LBM of 240-250 but only has 30lbs of fat? I don't think so...so I like to base my protein intake off of my LBM. I believe that 1-1.5 grams per pound of LBM is fine unless on an AAS, where you could utilize more. I should have said that I wanted AT LEAST 200grams of protein a day with a goal of 250. "At least" is my minimum. Thanks for the advice!

Oh, and...

Hurray for dtrain13!!!! :line:

Alright, yesterday and today I have had a nasty head cold so I've done nothing. I've kept with my diet as much as possible, but I haven't gotten as many calories/grams of protein as I'd like...but it's very hard when I'm in bed all day and really sick. I do feel somewhat better today and hopefully I can get back to full health tommorrow for my lift and afternoon running.

dbish77 · 09-20-2005, 01:25 AM

Not quite over the head cold so I didn't do any extra running, but my lifting went quite well. I finished training camp about 4 weeks ago, and I'm just now gaining my strength back. Before camp I was benching 355x4, right after camp I couldn't even get 315 up 2x. Today I was able to do 335x5, so I'm close to pre-camp strength. Anyway, today was an upper-body day and went quite well. My diet was spot on today and now I've just got to do it every day and I'll be lookin good pretty soon now...

I think my strength is totally back as I was able to squat 405x8 yesterday. My diet has been pretty close to spot-on and VERY clean, no cheats whatsoever. ~250 g/pro, 500 g/cHo, and 100 g/fat. I'm looking leaner, but I know it's probably just a combination of placebo and water.
