Preachin to the choir,lol.

Just finished my mini carb load. Sorry guys no pictures. I know I'm really dropping the ball here but my mother-in-law has our camera because she's getting cards made from some of the pics over christmas.

You guys have my word as a man, I will have pictures up next carb load.

I did a tension workout yesterday morning instead of a depletion and I dont feel as full this morning as I did last load. I got down about 600gr carbs in a 12hour spand.

Threw back some BLAST thing am to get things going again and im feeling good. 2maro will start my regular schedule for lifting and diet of 2,750cals. I didn't lose any weight last week at 3,200-3,500cals so I think Im adapted to the low carb lifestyle.

My waist is down close to 1.5" I was at 34" when this started and Im just uner 33" now and stil chillin' at close to 194~198lbs. My arms are actually bigger then when I started. I'm not gonna try to explain it just welcome it with open arms.

Thinking about makeing this.....

I hade some cheesecake yesterday and damn was it good. So I went searching thru AM and came across this recipe. I think I'll give it a go except mix 2 regular cream cheese and 2 non-fat.

- 4 pkgs (8 oz.) of Philidelphia Cream Cheese 2 FF/2 reg.
- 1 1/2 Cups Splenda or Xylitol (sp?)
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 5 egg whites
- 3 scoops ON Any Whey (great for bakeing)

If I was to make a crust I'd do so by combineing milled flax seeds and cinnomon with an egg or 2.

Nutrion Per Cake (no crust)

Fat: 42gr
Carbs: 10gr
Sugar: 8gr

[EasyEJL]

sounds worth a try

 

[Botch]

You going to drop by and give us a review t?




That's what Christmas is all about.

Distilled if you don't mind could you post up a daily sample of what your diet consist of. I've read up on AD and the such but I'm still confused as to how the carbohydrate portion is counted. Are you taking into account all carbs (including fiber) or just net carbs? I might have to give this a try for spring if I can keep my broccoli and cauliflower.

Broccoli and cauliflower are good choices for the AD. Fiber doesn't count against your daily carb intake because it has no impact on blood sugar and you should be getting ~30g per day on this diet to keep you regular and support healthy cholesterol levels. I eat loads of spinach because it only has 1g of carb that counts against you for every 3.5 cups.

No change from last week time to cut cals like planned. Man it's nice finalling knowing my body!!! Hell, only took 5 years to get it down,lol. I think my arms have def. grown thus far I wish I'd took measurements of things other than my waist. I just need to lean out i'd say 1.5-2.5% BF and I'm going to be vascular as hell!!!! Very pronounced "blueness" of veins running all over my body.

Didn't workout 2day. Gym was only open from 9-12 and we got roughly 8" of snow last nite and it's stil snowing so I wasn't about to try and leave me house. I did however chug some BLAST and go shovel some snow, went well. That'll be my cardio for the day now it's time to go watch some more football

Great workout yesterday. AD/CKD guys would I be fine workoing out on a empty stomach in the morining? Thats what I did yesterday and I really liked it.

I slammed 2 scoops BLAST
1 Blast scoop of Beta-Alanine
5gr Leucine

Felt great

Energy from Blast was amazeing as always and I think the Beta-Alanine is beggining to work. I'm not hitting that wall during sets as hrd as I was earlier.

-Another note, Seems when I dont take Blast (on some off days or during the load I forget) and cramp up bad. Carrying n the groceries the other day I got it real bad i my forearms....things like that.

Weight: 193.0lbs

 

[Botch]

Yeah working out on an empty stomach is somewhat recommended on this diet b/c the energy it takes to digest all the fats we consume may take away from some workout intensity. You can either work out in the morning on an empty stomach or waiting 1-1.5 hours after eating also works well.

Makes sense. Intensity was great yesterday as far as strength goes. I'm going to do that from now on.

Couldn't resist....had to do cadio 2day. I did 30minutes on a 10 incline at 3.0 speed. I'm really tired now for some reason I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights so I'll chalk it up to that.

Tension workout 2maro night then carbs,carbs,and more carbs friday-sunday morning

 

[Distilled Water]

Alright Im going to totaly change things up. After 2nite im going to go on a 21day depletion, go back to regular training split and fasted AM cardio.

The last 2 carb loads have really upset my stomach and I feel like s h i t after the 1st 2 carb meals. nausea, diarhhea (sp?), and the carb coma. On top of that I think may abs have blurred a little since the 1st carb load.

Did tension workout last night and I stil have yet to lose much strength. I'll be on later to post the new deal.

Sounds like your body is finally converting. The osmolarity off set of the sugars is something your GI seems to have lost a capacity for. Looks like it's going to make that diet a little easier to follow.

DW, Blast should work well with your fasted cardio anywho. I love AM cardio and a serving or 2 of Blast while I'm on the go.

Great log!!

I was working out like a maniac. Some numbers were up from last week. Pull Downs were waaaaaay up, almost back to normal.

I ran into a lady friend, at the gym, I haden't seen since before my bulk in Nov.I was wearing a rack back tank top and she said I was looking alot bigger and leaner. Must be doing somthing right Stil not near what I want to be though. Time to go eat more carbs....yipppy

 

[Distilled Water]

Pictures

These were taken the morning before my carb up tension workout. I was comparig to my pictures before I started my bulk and Im waay bigger IMO. I'll dig to find it and then we can all compare and comment

I did fasted cardio this am and feel goo. Gonna head back to the gym here in about 4 hours.

Pretty pale in theses pic's. I also weighed in at 192.5 this morning. Down about another pound from last week, looking for about 1.5lbs this week with the added cardio.

EDIT: pictures wont upload :think: I'll try again later

 

[bludevil]

look'n solid in that pic

 

[prld2gr8ns]

Yeah, for a buck 92 your looking pretty thick DW. Good progress.

 

[EasyEJL]

nice lats!

 

[Distilled Water]

Thanks guys. Over my bulk I really focued on getting wider lats and a thicker chest. I really think that I accomplished it. Next it will be the arms and shoulders.

But for now...it's time to get shredded getting a little color would probably help to,lol.

 

[Distilled Water]

Chest workout went pretty well. Could have went better, I had a sinus headache, See it has been in the low teens here for a few weeks and then 2day we get hit with 57, crazy I know.

[Distilled Water]

Cardio went well this morning. I feel really dry today, which is nice because I felt a little bloated yesterday twords the evening.

Gonna go hit back and calfs a little later. Weight was 192.0 this moring before jumping on the tredmill. I'm really loving the 2scoops of BLAST before cardio, I really dont feel like going to the gym 20min after I wake up. Hell even 10minutes before I'm due to leave, then BLAST gets me and I need to get to the gym to work off the energy.

My sinuses are a little better 2day so hopefully my workout will go a little better than yesterday.

 

[Botch]

Alright Im going to totaly change things up. After 2nite im going to go on a 21day depletion, go back to regular training split and fasted AM cardio.

Did tension workout last night and I stil have yet to lose much strength. I'll be on later to post the new deal.

This is normal for the first few carb loads. When I first began this diet the first few weeks at 3000 cals I put on a few pounds of fat (which seemed to all happen during the carb up) but then the weeks that followed on the same cals I started to get leaner. IMO it would be better to stick with the carb load, even if you have it only the last two meals of one night a week and load about 400-600g of carbs from complex sources.

 

[Botch]

Looking good in those pics bro and I like the little smiley faces haha.

 

[Distilled Water]

So botch, your saying on say saturday night have 2-3 smaller carb meals?

Tough luck with that, hopefully it's nothing major.

 

[Botch]

So botch, your saying on say saturday night have 2-3 smaller carb meals?

Yes, you should make them the last two meals of the day but make them larger carb meals. They should be ~200-300g of carbs each meal and 80-90% of that from complex sources and the other 10-20% of the carbs you can cheat with and do what you want because it won't hurt you at all. This will be enough to elicit the hormonal response each week but won't be enough to give you any spillover.

If this one night a week works well for you after doing it for a week or two you can also throw in another night of the week with the last two meals being carb meals. If you are going to do Saturday then I would suggest Wednesday as well. You don't have to throw in this extra day however it might be beneficial for your training. This two nights a week approach is one of the ways Dr. Di Pasquale suggests cycling carbs while on a cut and it seems to work very well for people that were originally doing the 5 on 2 off approach.

Thanks botch, reps when i can give them,lol. Hey what do ya know its wednesday!!!!! LOL

Where you in a fasted state? It'll hit you kind of hard that way.

 

[Distilled Water]

No it was later in the day. I think it had somthing to do with the MCT oil. I narrowed it down 2day & if I take more than 10gr MCT it happens.

I found a new way to take BLAST though, just shoot down a scoop with a few sipps of water. It hit me hard and fast (combined with BLAST scooper full of Beta-Alanine). Now it could just be me but whatever it workd so im going to do it from now on .

Man I am as indecisive(sp?) as a woman. No offense ladies, i love you all

Ok Im back on the carb load,lol. I popped 2 AP 30min before the chinese and I finished it about 30 min ago (probably close to 150gr carbs). All of my abbs have come in (not chistled by any means, but you can see all of them pretty easily when I flex) and my bi's are stil pumped 2hrs after my workout ended!

Geeze the 4th week really is magic on AD. I'll stop eating carbs at about noon-2pm on sunday.

 

[RoidRageX10]

Logs looking good man!

That Anabolic Diet looks good, but I need my carbs during baseball. Maybe next winter..

How do you like the taste of BLAST?

Are you taking a straight MCT supplement for your oil? If so, then try switching over to some coconut oil to get your MCT's and to possible avoid the nasea. Plus it will add a little extra zing to your cooking.

 

[Botch]

Distilled, I think I may have told you this before but you should avoid MCT's as much as possible. They can be healthy and even aide in fat metabolism for someone who is a regular carb burner but they should be avoided by ADer's because they use a different energy substrate than long chain fatty acids which messes with fatty acid metabolism.

Now this is interesting. MCT's are delievered directly to the liver via portal vein, and are believed to reach mitochondrial oxidation without the use of carnatine or the carnatine acyl-transferase enzymes. It still undergoes 2 carbon cleavage to yeild acetly groups for energy production. I don't really understand how that would effect a diet that is based largely on mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in nothing but a positive way.:think: If anything, it should actually free up carnatine and the carnatine enzymes to make carnatine transfer more effective.

 

[Distilled Water]

Either way Im done with the MCT oil. If anyone wants it you can have it, just cover shipping and it's yours.

Hit chest 2day, forgot about calfs or abs.

Im up to 2 scoops 2x's a day.

Weight 194!!!! OMG I gained 3lbs!!!!!! No not really, It was after a meal and well I am really bloated. I killed a tub of rosted salted almonds between yesterday and 2day. That alone is just over 2,000mg of sodium. On top of not drinking a ton of water and everything else I've ate which is a little higher insodium. Im not worried in the least bit.

I'm done with the 1-Carboxy. I am now doing I-GH-1 from LG Sciences. I will be doing 4 pre-cardio or weights(whichever is fasted) and 4 pre-bed.

BLAST
-Overall I have been very pleased with blast. Good energy no crashes and feeling good. I am at the max dose and will ride that out until I am finished with the container. I think I have about 1.5 weeks left of BLAST if kept at my current pace?????I will be doing a final comparision between BLAST and Spike. Spike, pre blast, was my favorite energy supp. drink. Will it stil be? Tune in later to find out.....(input evil laugh)......
