My high calorie experiment is over for now. My september averages so far are:
Food: 3114kcal
Fat: 205.01g
Protein: 208.72g
Carbs: 118.60g
I started the month at 173lbs. Almost two weeks of eating over 3100 calories added some body fat along with some new muscle mass. I am dropping down to 3000 calories to see how that works for me. Next week I plan to drop the daily walking and add a few days of HIIT. I am not looking forward to it but it's what must be done if I want to reach my goals.
I hope everyone is doing great. Happy Friday peeps!

I recommend Speed rope for HIIT all day long. Once you get good at it it's super fun...its low impact...and by the end of a 25 minute session youre drenched in sweat! 40 seconds on 20 seconds off repeat. Killer workout! I do it 3 days per week.

Thanks Chad. I was about to start looking up some HIIT stuff. Good timing. I'll check out the ropes for sure! Do you do it on your workout days or reset days or everyday?

I got on the internet and now I have questions! Are you talking about speed rope as in a jump rope or the battle ropes?

speed rope as in a braided steel jump rope.

I do it on my rest days. I just do a 10 minute incline walk at around 4 mph prior to lifting on my gym days. I call it "my wake up walk". Gets the blood flowing and warms up the body before you hit the iron. Also burns an extra 70 or so calories.

Thanks Rockiesfan! I appreciate it. @Chad, I was planning on ordering a neck harness soon, when I do that ill add a speed rope to the list as well. Will probably be a Rogue one.

Sweet deal! Once you get the "Ali shuffle" down, speed rope is hands down the best form of HIIT in my eyes. Very Very Muscle sparing.

Awesome! Thanks for all your help Chad. Good luck with your MPGRIND challenge!

The thing with HIIT is that we mostly don't do it right. If you look up the inventor's studies (TABATA Intervals) you know if you have done it correctly if you can hardly breathe and are so completely exhausted you couldn't even think of doing one more step. Try one day a week to start, and really commit to the full session at max output. Tabata recommends 2 min warm up followed by 20 sec. full effort 10 sec. recovery repeat 8 times 2 min cool down done. If you think it is too short you are not putting full effort in. It is the only workout for the day and the hardest day of the week!

Thanks jwsplatjw. I'll check it out. I'm still not looking forward to it though! LOL We watched the biggest loser last night and it got me to thinking, if they can do HIIT at over 300lbs, then I really dont have any excuses.

Yup Brent, you can do HIIT at any weight and fitness level, and it sucks excatly the same amount, because though everyones limit varies...HIIT makes you push yourself to it, over and over and over.

I would be easiest if I could just do the sprint/jog HIIT but I can't run due to my knee and doctors orders. I have to find some low impact things to do. Speed rope should not be an issue for me along with some body weight execrises like burpees and mountian climbers.
