Staminization

[Milko Georgiev]

After two years of lounge training and minimal nutrition, the result from last year is
- lost 4 kilos muscle mass
- lost ~10% strength
- lost ~25% endurance
Pretty nice deconditioning.

It's time to put all my knowledge in my own use.

Not singles.
Standard stamina - sets of 5 reps @ 87%, 84%, 80% ...
Variants • SpiderStamina.com
Half stamina is only first 5 sets, not 10. I'm beginner now :-) Big volume will make me sore/sorry :-)

Stamina Dips @ 40kg means that 1RM is 40kg, first set is made @ 40*0.87=35kg; second @ 40*0.84.....

[Milko Georgiev]

Upper body still sore. Rest.
Half (only 3 sets) stamina Lunge @ 90kg
My hamstrings died.

[Milko Georgiev]

Half (7 sets) stamina Cable Push-Pull @ 95 kg
Lower body rest - sore hams and gluts.

[Milko Georgiev]

Standard stamina Side Press @ 33 kg (very good volume adaptation for last 6 days)
Lower body rest - sore hams and gluts. Heh!

I'm glad you are logging this. It will be neat to watch your progress back. Good for you for tackling it.

What? Really! I thought you were more serious about your trianing and nutrition than anyone. What happened?

Did you find your appearance changed negatively? I remember the 10-pack abs....you looked like you were in phenomenal shape?

I had some tough time this year, looking for motivation and ideas about me and my work. Everything in Bulgaria goes very slowly and I have many to do ... this makes me crazy sometimes.
Last two years, especially the last, I minimized and stopped my training. This made me to minimize my food intake, I don't have appetite when no training. As result I lost weight, strength and endurance.
Now, as you can see from my log, I am on the road again :-)

You, the people at JP's, make me feel good. You are so positive and with open mind. Thanx a lot to all of you!

You pull off some amazing feats of strength Milko. I'm surprised, but I understand the loss of motivation. I got foolish with my eating and laziness over the summer and have a lot I need to get back and lose.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you accomplish.

[Milko Georgiev]

Standard stamina: Side press @ 33kg
Last two weeks my favourite food is the bahur. Something like liver (blood) sausage or haggis.

I just found it so surprising that you would stop training since you seem to have a real passion for it. And you are still in better shape than 99% of the population, even in your deconditioned state. I know you don't compare yourself to others and seek to challenge YOURSELF, but be proud of what you still have as a level of fitness. It still amazes me.

You continue to inspire me!!!

I just went back to your old log and read your posts on low-carb and high-fat. I really need to print that out and put it on my wall. I have to consciously eat more fat...it's good for me

[Milko Georgiev]

= Body fat test =
Tri 2.4, Che 2.5, Sub 6, Sup 4, Mid 3.4, Abd 3.7, Thi 5.1 (SUM 27.1mm)
TBM 72kg, LBM 68.8kg, FM 3.2kg
4.4% (age 31)

So. No training at all for 2 years and you have 4% bf?

What? How? How??!
How can one stay completely ripped in that way? I don't get it.

Not "at all" but at 20%.

I am strict in my food - that is the secret.

I believe that the body needs confidence. I don't change my food and training radically. My body knows that I will supply quality food sooner or later.
If you body is afraid then will steal (make you lazy, etc.) calories and store them, even if you eat little amount of calories.

[ljk]

So you are saying you trained at 20% of usual intensity/amount/level
and ate "well" but a lot less.
and you remained ripped....

Interesting. I thought cutting training by 80% would have a huge effect on your body composition!

This makes me less scared to go on a vacation for 2 weeks in Feb. without any workouts.

One more thing: at most 150ml alcohol (80 proof) weekly.
