    ^ yes, bro, nagbabago ang timbang ng meat pagkatapos lutuin

    tinimbang ko yung buto para lang malaman ko kung ilang kg ang meat/skin sa binibili ko :)


    sa raw weight kasi ako nagbase ng protein conten

    100 g of raw meat = 20 g of protein

    yung .35kg na cooked bones kasi baka .50 to .65kg pala pag raw. so hindi 1.4kg ng meat & skin nakain mo. feeling ko around 1.4kg na lang yan lahat pag luto na at nadrain or lumabas ang juices. or less pa siguro.

    ^ di ko alam yun ah. may water content din pala ang bones

    thanks for info, bro :)

    kung 1-2pcs pwede siguro disregard. kaso kung ganyan kadami, malaking difference kahit yung 100g lang na mawala sa bilang kasi nasa 20g of protein yun.

    Bugong Roasted Whole Chicken

    Family size (1.25 kg) @ P 277
    Regular size (1 kg) @ P 237

    Bone weight for the family size is ~25% of the total weight. That leaves ~930 grams of meat and skin
    Bone weight for the regular size is ~20% of the total weight. That leaves ~800 grams of meat and skin

    All measurements are cooked weight

    grabe brah computed pa talaga lahat!

    Musta str gains over the period of time from changing your routine and eating habits?
  • nrg500nrg500 Posts: 1,233
    @ monching11

    ayaw ko talaga kasi ng calorie counting

    I'm testing if the 1.25-kg whole roasted chicken can cover the protein requirements of my current muscle mass. I have been getting my protein from it since I started Wendler 531.

    Bumigat ako ngayon, 176 lbs total body weight, probably 25 to 30% body fat based on how my mid section looks. I don't use body fat analyzer/calipers anymore

    May strength gains pero the bench press is lagging. Di ko makuha ng consistent yung leg drive, minsan feel ko malakas leg drive, minsan parang wala. Still practicing foot placement for bench press. Other lifts are improving. I don't know how good the gains are. Paki-check yung post ko sa page 24. Wanna know your honest criticisms

    Thanks, bro

    Magpost ako ng pic after ng Cycle 5

    Bro, ask ko lang kung may journal prior this one? Tagal mo na din kasing member dito sa PBB. Actually mas matagal ka na dito kaysa sa akin...
  • monching11monching11 Posts: 7,273
    since STR ang goal mo with physique being second. I think this is a bit low considering your stats (height and weight).

    10-20lbs over a period of 4months and from my exp and reading logs ng mga baguhan I think they are able to lift in a span of a 6months-1 year yung percentage sa BW mo.

    To be honest, just look at Jin's(xbrain's GF) progress physically saka sa str department. Nung nag gold's kame anlakas nya for a girl nagulat ako promise. She eats whatever mike eats and trains consitently parang 4-5days a week. AFAIK 2 days ka lang nakakapag workout, I think you should commit more if you do want more. You can do better brah.

    My 2 cents

    bro tip ko sayo bilang nag strength shit ako.

    Unlearn that complications and just fawkin lift! Progress!

    Wag ka magbilang, isipin mo na lang sobrahan mo kinakain mo since ang laki mong tao.. brutal eating , minsan yung iniisip mo na hindi mo kaya buhatin dahil sa kinalkula mo, iba pala sa tunay na araw na bubuhatin mo.

    Ako di ko alam na kakayanin ko ba ulet mag backsquat na 260 sa tagal ko na di ginagaw pero wala ko pakelam, I'll lift that shit without doing any calculations method, sleeping pattern, calories. I just fawkin lift that mader paker..

    Isipin mo na lang yung bubuhatin mo na bigat stress sa buhay, problema, boss mong tarugo, ka opisina mong ogre, at higit sa lahat yung tae mong kapit bahay. Pag kinarga mo yan boom, iba ka ser!

    yun lang haha..

    Seriously, it's all in your mind, just lift and do it whether its bench press, squats or DL or any assistance na hirap ka o panis pa.

    That's how bad do you want that gainz!

    galing ako sa 2 days per week dati. sobra bagal ng gains ko lalo na sa str. di ba kaya ng 3-4 times man lang per week brah?

    here's my honest review :)

    As of October 4, 2013

    Back Squat = 92 lbs x 4 reps = estimated 1RM of 107 lbs
    Bench Press = 132 lbs x 8 reps = estimated 1RM of 167 lbs
    Conventional Dead Lift = 162 lbs x 6 reps = estimated 1RM of 194 lbs
    Standing Military Press = 62 lbs x 4 reps = estimated 1RM of 74 lbs

    As of January 02, 3014

    Back Squat = 117 lbs x 3 reps = estimated 1RM of 129 lbs
    Bench Press = 157 lbs x 2 reps = estimated 1RM of 167 lbs
    Conventional Dead Lift = 194.5 lbs x 2 reps = estimated 1RM of 207 lbs
    Standing Military Press = 77 lbs x 2 reps = estimated 1RM of 82 lbs


    *** hindi na kelangan ng math dito. lighter weight more reps, heavier weight less reps. So, i it's hard to tell kung lumakas ka nga or you were just holding back on your potential to lift heavier dahil sa style mo na compute first before lifting. at dahil bumigat din timbang mo, lumalabas na humina ka din relative to your weight.


    Back Squat estimated 1RM increased by 23.43%
    Bench Press estimated 1RM increased by 0.16%
    Conventional Dead Lift estimated 1RM increased by 6.72%
    Standing Military Press estimated 1RM increased by 10.39%


    *** percentage? this will just confuse you, kala mo lumakas ka nga when in reality kaya mo naman talaga dati pa. how? why?

    compare natin yung difference ng poundage mo before and after:

    Back Squat increased by 25lbs
    Bench Press increased by 25lbs
    Conventional Dead Lift increased by 32.5lbs
    Standing Military Press increased by 15lbs

    in reality, 10-15lbs (plus locks) plates per side lang yan na increase. nothing is wrong with it pero kahit siguro first timer sa gym kaya magdagdag ng 10lbs per side kung gugustuhin nya.

    Just imagine all the complexities and technical analysis done just to lift an additional 2 small plates per side, kung pwede naman na isalpak na lang yung mga platito at subukan kung kaya :)

    Anyway, congrats sa weight gain :)

    Baka kasi yung str/energy niya imbes na malabas sa training nauubos sa kakaisip at kaka compute. :)

    I returned to the gym where I used to lift. The plates are in substandard diameter but I was surprised that I was able to hit my target weights for Conventional Deadlift. It's like a have done deficit DL's. I think I have also gotten stronger since I don't need anymore a 5-minute rest between sets of Conventional Deadlift. I could have done 2 more forced reps in the last set but I decided to stick with a 3x3 scheme for Deadlift

    I am also now using a hook grip in Conventional Deadlift. It does not feel weird anymore
