Not sure if we can pull off an animated gif on a t-shirt. It would be really hard to animate it on a cloth.

Then I'll increase my caloric consumption and hopefully get a little more endurance in the process.

Well I'm not taking it personally because there's nothing to take personally. If I were to believe in nutrition I'd be "offended" Raptor is mocking nutrition as well (if I give a damn about Raptor in the first place). I mean, I'm crazy but I can still keep a good grip on things.
My idea with cardio is, first, that I suck hard at cardio and second, I might make the body switch to a more fat burning mode (make it choose fat as a fuel more than carbs). For that to occur, I need to lower the carb intake, lower the sugar intake to raise muscle insulin sensitivity and alter the hormonal response etc etc etc. Hopefully, that will do something.
Sure, this will happen by manipulating NUTRITION, yes, I know, but to count calories and do stuff like that? No sir. Too much for me. I'll eat less, exercise more, take in less carbs, eat less sugar, more protein etc, but never count calories. That would drive me more crazy than I already am.
If I do this, I still should get under 80 kg and lower body fat %.

Well the problem is that it's too much to worry about and my food is limited. My food depends on whatever I have in the house, it's not like I'm an avid food buyer or anything, so I can't really "plan" my meals (I don't want to either).
Then, I have no idea how much does that particular food weigh. Then, I need to search all these things I eat for the amount of kcal per 100g and, guess what, that doesn't matter since I can't weigh them anyway and I would hate to do it. Then, I don't think it's necessary because I don't buy into the food hype. It would be hell to measure and search through all that on top of not believing it's any good in the first place.
Then, even if this would work, food changes properties depending if you eat it crude, you boil it, cook it, fry it in oil etc. Therefore, the amount of kcal you end up with is false so I might as well spare me this hell and just eat less and burn more.

You might be right but I'm not willing mentally to do that. I don't want to. I H-A-T-E that. I hate food in general. People that talk about food are usually snobs and rich people that want to brag about it and show their "superiority" (as in "man I'm really cool, I ate <<insert food name here>> and I'm so cool, and you're not!!!"). Or nutritionists that talk all day long about food just so they convince you to throw money at them. You know, really weird people. Not that I'm not, but I prefer to be weird the other way around. I know a handful of these people.
I don't have money, I hate food, that's great combination of staying away from food related stuff of any kind. And I sincerely don't believe you are what you eat, you're more what your body takes and uses from what you eat and the hormonal and genetic factors play a big role.
I'll just eat less, burn more and that's it.
My swings intervals should make for good PEOC anyway so...

Well hopefully the body will burn fat instead of carbs when I do cardio. You won't really burn fat while doing MSEM you know.
And I WON'T DO STUPID SHIT LIKE COUNTING CALORIES BECAUSE THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I won't suddenly start weighing food and shit, I FUCKING HATE THAT, I'll just use common sense and that's it. I never could understand, unless one has a food fetish, how could anybody do that. As I HATE food, I won't do it and I'll go with that.
Dang this made me crazy.

I don't believe in nutrition at all. That's just me (yes, I know). Even though I don't believe in nutrition, I will eat better (high protein, low carbs etc). My problem is my very, ultra-extremely low conditioning. I get tired very quickly. My heart rate goes up so high after just a little effort etc.
I feel way too heavy at my ~84 kg that I currently have so I really need to get lighter.

I DON'T WANT to train at jumping and this weight and bodyfat, my knee overuse will show up very quickly and the injury possibility increases in other areas as well.
I need to get at ~75 kg and then it's time to jump. Even more, I can't really jump anywhere since it's wet/cold outside and I don't have a gym in which to jump.
So it's time to get shredded, get cut, get awesome (or something) and work from there. And for that nutrition is DEFINITELY not going to help alone, I need to burn calories by the way of cardio and intervals.
That's why I want to do MSEM and then cardio just to get the feel of it, and progress in cardio from there.
Do you think that training in different spectrums (pure power & strength and pure conditioning and fat loss) will exclude each other out? MSEM is just a CNS training more than anything, so is doing a few reps of O-lifts or jump squats. And then, if I do interval stuff like swings it shouldn't have too much of a bad effect on power I think.

« on: January 20, 2011, 05:37:18 am »Well I'll soon switch to salads + fish and eggs, but I still think it's cardio that I need to work on.
Some running + KB swings intervals should take care of that I think.
I can't jump though since I don't have a basketball gym to train and jump into, and I don't think it's smart at this weight/bodyfat either. So I need to start converting my added strength into explosive strength and get my bodyweight lower, and THEN I can start jumping more.
What? I think my logic is pretty solid.

Well I don't know... my squat has stagnated quite a bit and frankly, I'm kind of tired of all this. I'm so much stronger than anybody I know that happen to jump more than me and still, some people definitely outjump me while being much weaker. My two-leg technique sucks, my power sucks (I can't clean 60 kg, I can't snatch more than 30 (wtf), I'm pretty good at jump squats though so it might be a technique thing with o-lifts but still, when I jump squat I can be quad-dominant while when I o-lift I can't - there's your answer).
I can split my workouts by doing KB swings intervals at home either after I wake up or after I come home from work. I could do swings as cardio and then MSEM at night at the gym.
And I still don't really buy into the capitalist marketing nutrition thing. I ate much better and my bodyweight is the same, bodyfat is the same and so on. The body just takes what it needs and what the metabolism dictates and that's it. I'll keep the carbs low but I don't really feel it's going to help or whatever. It's definitely a thing of cardio since I suck so hard at it.

I'm approaching my deload and then high frequency MSEM squatting phase soon (~2 weeks 'til then).
I plan on doing MSEM on MON, TUE, THU and FRI, with power work like snatches and 1-2 jump squats interspersed. So MSEM squat + snatch on MON and THU + MSEM squat + 1-2 jump squat on TUE and FRI. I also want to cut down fat so after I do my strength work I'll do stuff on a stationary bike (no treadmill, afraid of that machine) and when it's OK outside - run.
Any ideas of how to implement it? Any other ideas?
Should I do a few snatches and jump squats before the MSEM squats? After them? That is - use snatches and jump squats as MSEM potentiation or use MSEM as snatch and jump squat potentiation? Or do a 4 rep MSEM set, then do the dynamic stuff, then do another 4 rep MSEM set? (wave loading)
I'm still not sure what weight I'll use, squatted 140 and probably my max is ~145 or so, I think I should use 130 kg for starters.
