re: Do these weekly workout and diet totals seem excessive?

How much do you weigh?

Have you had any sort of variation during that period of time?

Depends. 160ish. Used to way more.

ETA: My routine is pretty consistent.

As far as the workout "plan"; there is no plan and its stupid.

I never said there was a plan in the OP. I said those were weekly "totals" of all my reps. I have a routine with workouts etc that reach those totals throughout the week. I was just too lazy to type it up.

its called the warrior diet and I agree its inconvenient and I don't use that at all. But if anything it is more convenient for ones life as its less time eating, more time doing other things. Also allows to be able to do more carb backloading. But again I don't use it and it wasn't my point.

I was arguing over your insistance that anything over 35g per meal was a waste, its simply not true at all. It is simply wrong.

Seems like a lot of talking and arguing in this thread over meaningless nimbers. Not enough actual work going on. Just get in the gym and slam the weight. Don't make it your job to tell the whole world about it.

Latter. All est klar.

Closer to it, eh? What percentage exactly? No joke, I'm thinking about trying something like that for the next month or so.....

You have probably got some serious definition going on, don't you?

I mix up the order on when I do the sets and cardio but for the most part it goes something like this:

Workout days are M/T/Thu/F

Each Workout day
20 Squats
100 calf raises
20 Squats
100 calf raises
20 Squats
80 calf raises
20 Squats
50 Leg Curls
50 Leg Extensions
20 Squats
40 ab hanging leg lifts
10 slow barbell curls
30 ab hanging leg lifts
10 slow barbell curls
30 ab hanging leg lifts
10 slow barbell curls
25 butterfly presses
16 butterfly presses
16 military presses
16 military presses
16 tricep extension skull crushers
16 pull-ups
16 tricep extension skull crushers
16 pull-ups
16 tricep extension skull crushers
16 Bench presses
16 Bench presses
16 Bench presses
50 sit-ups

30 minutes running/jogging/walking on treadmill at max incline to cooldown

I'd increase the calf raises by 250 reps. Also, try super setting them with glute ham squats.

quote:

---

400 squats

3 workouts - that 133 reps per workout. 20-rep sets would be 1 warmup and roughly 6 sets - at the edge, but that's okay.

quote:

---

1120 calf raises

---

That's ridiculous.

quote:

---

200 leg extensions

---

Terrible exercise, but again - 3 workouts - 1 warmup set of 20 and you're only talking about 50 reps after.

quote:

---

200 leg curls

---

That's fine - I've done that in a week, easily.

quote:

---

120 barbell curls

---

Ditto - when I was doing Arnold's arm workout 2 times a week, probably closer to 150 reps.

quote:

---

240 triceps extensions

---

That's fine - I've done that in a week, easily.

quote:

---

192 bench presses

---

If 2x a week, that's a little bit much - but less than 100 reps - again, not knowing the program, hard to judge. If someone is doing a split with flat and incline 1 workout and flat and decline the next, you're talking less than 50 reps per exercise. If that's all flat, maybe a lot.

quote:

---

164 butterfly presses

---

That's fine - I've done that in a week, easily.

quote:

---

192 military presses

---

Same thing as the bench comment.

quote:

---

128 pull-ups

---

That's nothing for someone doing pullups 3x per week.

quote:

---

600 sit-ups

---

People do thousands of situps in a week (again, another terrible exercise, but if you're doing them, you can get up to 100 or 150 in a set).

quote:

---

2 hours on the treadmill

---

In a week? 3 times that's 40 minutes each - 4 times that's 30 minutes each.

quote:

---

- take in 12,000 - 14,000 calories a week

---

14000 calories would be completely normal and expected for a male athlete following a rigorous exercise program and maybe 170 or 180 pounds - might be too little for a larger athlete following such a workout you described.

quote:

---

- drink just coffee in mornings
- usually bypass breakfast and lunch
- eat large dinner and whatever else you may want

So intermittent fasting? I've warmed up to this, but that's tough depending on when you work out. If you workout in the morning, your weight training is going to suffer - and if it doesn't, your recovery will not do well eating until 8 to 12 hours later. If you workout in the evening - you're going to be out of gas for all of it. Recovery will be okay if you eat right after, but I would suspect you will have to do some pre-workout snacking or supplementation if you're going to go all caveman diet and eat 1 large meal at the end of the day (presumably after the workout). 2000 calories is a shite ton to stuff in at 1 sitting, baw.
