Dem hungry… :(
Well, I went back to my “carb cycling” diet, and upped the intensity on my cardio. With every passing day, I lose more water and I look more defined. But my lower back fat is not fucking moving at all… I’m cursed with this shit… I’d much rather have the fat on my lower abs than on my lower back. Makes me look like I’m wearing a damn tire. Anyway, I’ve posted my diet before, scroll down if you wanna know what it is. My weight was 94 kg Saturday morning. And this morning it was 91 kg. I’m expecting 89 kg by Wednesday morning then back up to 93 or 94 on Saturday and so on and so forth. What’s killing me right now is that I’m so fucking hungry it’s not even funny. All I think about is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and cake… oh, nutella and ice cream aren’t optional with this meal, they’re mandatory! LOL! I guess I know where I’m going this Thursday :) … anyway, I’ve stopped cheating whenever I felt hungry (that’s what I did in the first 6 weeks of dieting… it’s my 8th week right now) cuz I need to tighten up.
Anti-Doping
The “shabab” (under 21) competition is this Thursday, and ours is supposed to be the next. I heard some bad news from a guy in the gym saying that he read the news paper and they said that they’re calling for a meeting with the teams and are planning to penalize all the competitors who signed up but didn’t compete and impose a 2 year ban on them. I called the coach yesterday and he said that when they were called up, they said that the competitors didn’t compete because there was no prize money and we had promised them that there would be. I don’t think the committee bought it, but there’s nothing they can do if they don’t have proof that this wasn’t the reason. SOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo… the coach said that he’d see if anti-doping shows up again in the shabab competition. If they do, that means they’ll show up in our competition and there’s no point in going. If they show up, I’m quitting the season.
I haz a plan
Ever heard of Vince Gironda? I’ve read a lot of his books and the guy seems clinically insane. If you ever read about him, his attitude, training methods, hitting people with a stick like a crazy old man, and his diets you’d laugh your ass off! Anyway, his methods were so amusing and so ancient (breakthrough at the time… he was way ahead of his time in his logic) that it made me wonder why no one is trying this shit or has tried it in the past 2 billion years. The concepts seem sane… but the application is insane. So, I decided that once I get down to sub 6% fat, I’d try some of his “mass gaining” methods just to give him a chance and to give impossible a chance to be possible.
Ok, so the training is nothing to brag about… and it’s actually something I’m totally against since I’m a low volume kind of guy. It’s an 8x8 system (this is just ONE of his many training methods. His logic is to basically not have one training method and make it a standard. Keep changing up in a psycho kind of way). The 8x8 system is basically high volume, where you choose 3 exercise per muscle (or 4) and do 8 sets of 8 reps of each exercise with a rest period of 15-30 seconds. Of course, you can’t do any ego training with this crap. You have to use some light weights but make it feel like you’re lifting the African continent. So, training 3 days per week, 2 to 3 muscles per day, that’s around 72 sets per workout. Pretty far away from my normal 9 sets.
That’s not the crazy part… that’s fucking normal… the diet is where it gets fucked up.
Now, I’m either gonna have stomach issues, severe diarrhea, salmonella, a heart attack… or it could be great since I respond better to lower carbs and higher fats…
Again, I haven’t tried high fats, high protein, and low carb to bulk… I only used it in a deficit…
The diet will be as follows
A mixture of the following should be consumed as meal 2 and meal 4
12 whole eggs (uncooked. I’ll boil them for 3 minutes to make sure I kill off any salmonella in the shells. The salmonella in the yolk… well, the chances of getting that from raw eggs is the same as getting them from eggs sunny side up)
6 scoops whey
300 ml vetal milk
300 ml heavy whipping cream
2 bananas
other shit that has no calories to make it taste better (cinnamon, splenda, vanilla)
this whole mix has
240 grams of protein, 66 grams of carbs, and 152 grams of fat
Meal 1, 3, and 5 are the following
200 grams lean ground beef, 100 grams cottage cheese, 2 slices toast, veggies
The total for this shit is
420 grams of protein, 138 grams of carbs, and 197 grams of fat
Close to 4000 cals…
This is only to be done 5 days per week
On Monday and Thursday it’s a carb loading day. Around 800-1000 grams of carbs will be consumed (that’s not what gironda advises. He just has one carb up meal every 2-3 (or 4) days of pasta).
I will only be doing this for 4 weeks, then go back to my regular diet. I don’t think that’s enough time to gain a ton of fat. But with the calorie restriction I’m in now, it’ll probably help me gain a lot of muscle. Or get a heart attack. (I don’t know why I’m worried about that when most people consume upward of 150 grams of fat per day with 300-400 grams of carbs easy, and no protein)
I might bail on this plan later on. I don’t know. But now I have an open mind and am willing to try this crap since it hasn’t been done in a while. So, we’ll see. And I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this egg, protein, cream, milk, and banana mix will taste real fucking good. It’ll probably taste like vomit knowing my luck.

Fruits… to me they’re just candy
Well, last Friday I was hungry for some fruits. So, I said why not change all my carb sources to fruits and see what happens?
I had around 300-350 grams of carbs to substitute fruits for. So, I got some apples, bananas, pineapples, mangos, and pineapple and mango juices (all with no sugar added).
By Tuesday, I was a fucking mess.
My IBS was the worst it’s ever been
I had no energy at all
I suffered from severe insomnia
My farts were atrocious!
I was severely constipated
My waist went up around 1.5 inches due to all the bloat
My blood pressure went up to 140/95 (highest it’s been in around a year)
It was awful… just fucking awful. During cardio, I’d have to get off the treadmill every fucking 10 minutes and go to the bathroom and open my relief valve because I got the worst gas pains in my gut. They felt like a damn ice pick having a field day (for Jawad… il sinjebad illi fil icepick… LOL)
Anyway, I shared my experience with a lot of people and they weren’t very pleased with my attitude towards fruits. Still spewing out the regular nonsense of how they cure cancer and make you grow a second penis and shit. I would say people are brainwashed with this shit. “DO YOU DENY THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FRUITS!!!” 500 fucking years ago, I wouldn’t. but today? When fucking corn flakes has more vitamins, minerals and fibers than 10 tons of fruit? Fuck yeah I’d deny them. Typical replies from experts (who were contradicting themselves over and over) were:
1- you were eating the wrong kinds of fruits (so there’s right and wrong fruits now?)
2- the fruits you were eating were too ripe (w… t… f?)
3- I would never advise anyone to switch all their carb sources to fruits (this came for a guy who preached changing all your carb sources to fruits)
4- the usual brainwashed crap of “don’t tell me you are going to deny the phytonutrients and vitamins in fruits!”
An apple a day keeps the doctor away… but 2 apples a day will take you straight back to the fucker.
Remember, I changed ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN MY DIET OR ROUTINE except for switching my carb sources to fruits. This was kind of a controlled study on my part. So, I don’t care what you think… but I think fruits are basically crap. I said it before, and I’ll say it again… they are just fucking sugar. The vitamins in them are negligible… a multivitamin pill has 1000 times more vitamins and minerals than what you’ll find in fruits.
Think what you will (you brainwashed fuckers), but until you count your carbs, substitute them with fruits, and not change anything else… don’t fucking pull shit out of your ass. And no, I could not find research that proves how fruits are healthy other than “my mom said so”. And when some “scientific evidence” tells how they contain antioxidants (take a gram of vitamin C a day and you’ll have more antioxidants than you need), they never mention numbers… they just say “significant amount”… significant to what? A fucking cockroach?
More retarded shit that makes me hate this place
An incident happened a couple of months ago that I could not talk about because I was asked not to mention it. But let’s just say I wrote the song “this is my hell” (you can scroll down and click the link to download it) to explain that situation.
Anyway… I experienced some shit yesterday that really made me say “fuck this retarded place… I hope it rains shit and everyone dies from the stink and goes to hell”…
There was an accident that happened right infront of me. A guy ran a red light and hit a green ford explorer… I wish it stopped there… there is a lot of construction work going on in khobar these days… there was a huge bulldozer parked and it had dug a huge hole in front of it… the green explorer swerved and fell into that huge hole. I saw a lot of people (around 15 or so) get out of their cars to “help”… so, I said to myself that there are enough people, no need to go out and crowd the place even more… I was looking and they were just standing there doing nothing… weird? So, this pakistini dude (and I specifically mention his nationality to point out that Saudis weren’t helping, but doing something else) went down in the hole and came out carrying a child not older than 5 years old… the child looked down in the hole, cried like a madman and screamed “BABA!!!”… so I immediately parked my car and ran to the scene (remember, now around 3 minutes passed and no one was doing anything).. the Pakistani guy went down again to help and I saw a lot of Saudis just looking… when I got closer, I knew why… it was a foreign family, the wife took her abaya off and was wearing a cut sleeve shirt trying to get out of the car… the fuckers just wanted to peak at something to masturbate on when they get home… sons of bitches… so I yelled “did anyone call an ambulance???” they just looked at me with empty eyes… I yelled again “police??? Ambulance??? Did anyone call them”… then a guy said “ummm… no”…WHAT THE FUCK!!??? So I called 998 … a guy answered and I said “there’s been an accident on the intersection of prince sultan and king fahad road. We need an ambulance right away. It’s pretty bad” … guess what the guy says “accident huh? Look man.. call 993” and he hung up… ????... the fucker hung up… so I called 993… and guess what? It was prayer time and no one was answering… I called twice and no one answered. I checked inside the hole and it didn’t seem like anyone was injured (or atleast not badly). So I told a couple of people to keep on calling and I was like “fuck this shit…”… seriously… this is just fucked up.

LOLZ!! IT'S DA 5-0!!!! GOTTA GO!!!
well... after weigh ins yesterday i felt like shit cuz i was probably the fattest guy there... I didn't feel like competing at that time, but today there was a turn of events... we heard that the saudi anti-doping committee was gonna drop by...
I wanted to add comments and shit to all these photos, but ever since i moved from wts to this blogger crap all the picture uploads and shit would ruin the whole post... i can't move the pics, they'd shrink by themselves, and it's just fucked up... anyway, here's what happened:
the judges were fighting with the anti-doping committee all day long.. people got fed up and wanted to start the show... if a guy tests positive, he'd be banned from competing for 2 years, and the team coach might get fired...
the judges called up the 65 kg class and no one showed up.. the judges said "65 kg, if you don't get on stage in the next 5 minutes, the show is cancelled"... needless to say, the show was cancelled...
all of us got pissed and shit, but hey... shit happens. so we just decided to go down to the gym and take some pics together... (the last pics are with abdulrahman whom i talked about in the previous post.. the dude did a fucking amazing job... went down from around 20% fat to what he looks like the pics in around 7 weeks.... very gifted dude... and hard working)
enjoy

heh... cool :)
well, i guess i don't have to lose the weight after all :) ... my major concern was that i won't make it in the 90 kg class cuz i still have 2 more kilos to lose (around 4.5 lbs), but after what i heard today, i'll increase my chances of winning if i compete in the super heavies (90+ kg)... one of the trainers who I haven't seen in a while came to me today and said "hey, you're competing this thursday, right?" "I said yeah... wanna come see?" he said he'll try to be there, but what was more interesting was that he said "man, min3im and abdulra7man are competing too... and they're all freaked out about which weight class you'd be in. i told them probably in the 90 kg and they all said that they'd have to drop a lot of water to get out of that class and compete in the 85 kg or 80 kg class... they both asked me to call you and ask which weight class you're competing in so that they could get out of it"....
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
how fucking awesome is that????? they consider me a threat??? ahaahhaahahha... man, people have low standards... i guess they think i was gonna come in as lean as last year but a bit bigger. man... it just feels good to know that :) ... too bad i'm a fat ass and they'll regret dropping their water :P
but really... shit like that makes you feel good :)
3 more days, bitches...
