Nice job! You weigh less than me now. You are shrinking away.

I knew the scale would go down a bit today. I didn't eat a lot and drank a ton of coffee yesterday.

Started Asylum yesterday. I'm concerned about the calorie burn. I only burned 656 calories during the speed an agility workout. I was burning on average 1000 in the second month of Insanity. It kicked my butt. That said the calorie thing still bothers me. The strength workout is tonight.

Started training again this week after a 4 year hiatus. I used to compete in Powerlifting and Strongman competitions. I was pretty good at it too.
In 2005 I came 8th at Canada's Strongest Man competition.
I did a Powerlifting meet in 2007 and did a 775lbs squat, 540lbs bench and 710lbs deadlift. I weighted 295lbs at 15% bodyfat. I was in great shape then.
Shortly thereafter I ruptured the proximal tendon on the long bicep head (shoulder insertion). It happened during a Strongman competition while doing the Atlas Stones event. Surgery was not possible as it would not have held up. Although I competed a few times afterwards, the arm bugged me. The bicep dropped somewhat so there is a little gap between the shoulder and bicep head.
I had numerous injuries before (herniated disc, torn muscles, knee pain) but that one really knocked the wind out of me. I learned fear and it was impacting my training and competitions. I decided to take a break and focus on getting an education.
I graduated in Computer Science, got married, got a great job in IT Security and now I have a two month old baby daughter. Time just flew by. The weight certainly piled on too. I kept the giant appetite I had when I was competitive but I was no longer exercising. Especially the last few months. My wife, during her last month or so of pregnancy wasn't getting out much so we just lazed about watching television series. That's mostly what we've done the last two months as well since the baby was born. We get out to do errands once in awhile but generally we've gotten tired. Even small physical efforts are dreaded.
I refuse to let this continue. I want to be able to play and keep up with my daughter when she is old enough to do so. I recently acquired a gym quality threadmill and I dusted off the old barbell, squat rack and bench in my basement. For me this is Operation Super Dad.
I'm going to train on a 4 day split
Sunday:
Overhead pressing (Military Pressing, Push Pressing, Power Jerks)
Shoulder work
Tricep work
Monday
Deadlifts
Upper back work (Rows, shrugs etc...)
Biceps
Grip work
Abs
Wednesday
Bench
Close grip bench
Tricep work
Friday
Squats or Front Squats (rotate)
Goodmornings
Abs
Cardio everyday on the threadmill.
As for nutrition I got back into using my favored Whey/Casein protein blend and Fish oil. Not going to worry about the rest of my nutrition until I've gotten in the hang of exercising again. Then I'll get back into a 6-8 meal a day mode.
If things go well I might get back with the Strongman team and do some events on Saturdays like Farmers walk, Log pressing, super yoke and stone lifting. I just don't want to jump into everything at once. Going to take this a step at a time.
Today is day 3 (Wednesday) of my four day split.

.. Im the kind of person anyway that's never happy with the way I look, I always think I can look better...but anyway Im rambling
Maybe you have body dismorphic disorder. I do. I didn't think I looked good enough and I ran 8 miles a day, lifted weights for over an hour, and did 175 push-up and 200 sit-ups 5 days a week back in college. I would eat friggin 200 grams of protein a day and eat 4 or 5 meals. I was 150 lbs and did sets of 10 or more reps 3 times on a bench press with 185 lbs. I stopped because mentally I was obsessed and BDD made me feel like ****

Oh boy. Just spent a lot of money buying large tubs of protein, BCAAs, Fish oil and protein bars.
No turning back now!

You da man!
You are definitely much stronger than I was. You're bulky but you look great. Looks like if someone pissed you off you could throw them over a 3 story house. I'd run from you.

Legs are pretty fried from Friday's squat + goodmorning session. The goodmorning is one of my favorite barbell exercises. I could almost do only that and my squat would go up. One of the best exercises for strengthening the lower back, glutes and hamstrings. It also teaches you to force an arch and recover from falling forward too much.
Some of you guys are motivational!
During my prime when I was playing variety hockey/track/xc I was about 140lbs and putting up over 200 on the bench plus running under a 5 minute mile! I ran my first 5k recently at 20:17 which is decent for not running for 5 years!
I'm thinking about starting P90x or Insanity. I've always hated taking protein and vitamins though, any suggestions?

I just did Insanity. It was awesome. Very tough to go from couch to workouts but worth it if you have the motivation to do it every day and push through the first couple weeks.
That said my first week of Asylum is in the books.
