Kbayne Reverse Dieting, Mountain Dog, and Much More

[kbayne]

Hillman is too quick around those corners

 

[breezy11]

That's alright. I'm hoping for a big 2nd half from Gronk. He's too big, too fast, and way too strong to be stopped. Feel bad for anyone that tries to tackle him.

 

[kbayne]

Gronk isn't human. Pats are double teaming Julius all game.

 

[LiveToLift]

I'll tag along in this bish!

My dude!!!

Diggin the new avatar picture and the sick shirt!!

 

[LiveToLift]

My dude!!! Diggin the new avatar picture and the sick shirt!!

definitely my new favorite shirt. I have one sleeveless and one with sleeves. The shirt just fits so damn good. Showcases the muscles very nicely!

 

[kbayne]

The quality and feel of the shirts are way nice.

 

[kbayne]

Of course, f-in tipped ball for a INT. F***

I'm wearing one now.

Yup! but I'm not comfortable with the score yet.

 

[kbayne]

I don't think anything makes me more angry then the Broncos or the Duke Blue Devils. Not a fun dude to be around when they're losing.

All I wanna do is go smash weights but it's my off day which is needed but I just have that urge to go train!!! Gotta hold off though.

 

[kbayne]

Gotta go to Wally World, I better change out of my Broncos fit first though.

 

[breezy11]

Gotta go to Wally World, I better change out of my Broncos fit first though.

Good luck. I couldn't handle going to that place if I was pissed. I went in happy today and was infuriated almost immediately lol.

 

[kbayne]

Luckily it wasn't busy at all.

 

[kbayne]

Smashed legs today. I mean SMASHED!

Day started with my morning stair master. Dropped it down to 20 minutes.

My weight was 170 this morning.

I upped calories to 2500 and going to see how weight fluctuates. I didn't do a huge jump post contest (only 100 calories) because of my post contest meal day lol.

So ~2500 calories, ~80 fat, 125 carbs, ~300 protein. I know protein is pretty high but once carbs get higher I will bring protein back down. Keeping carbs like this for the most part:

~20 grams at breakfast
~20 grams pre-workout
~60 grams post-workout
Rest of carbs are trace from various foods (greek yogurt, veggies, cottage cheese, etc).

So we will see how things go. Looking to only add .5 pounds per week or 2 pounds for the first 4 weeks. Going to be a slow process but worth it.

 

[Swolbraham]

Yeah no doubt the slow way is king when reversing. I literally remade my metabolism. Could barely handle carbs, and I was maintaining my weight at 2,400 cals and 149 lbs. Now I'm 141-142 and I'm holding steady at 2700 cals and 360g CHO a day, its insane how you can change it

Yeah. I've always crash dieted like an idiot (go from 300+ carbs to 100 or less carbs to cut and then from 50-100 carbs to 300-350 carbs instantly after a cut). Hoping this will help the metabolism and insulin sensitivity and ability to tolerate carbs better.

 

[kbayne]

Only one week post contest but here's a pic:

I'm taking pics daily to compare and keep an eye on the mirror as I really like going off body comp changes to gauge how diet is working.

 

[booneman77]

Still looking tight and shredded. Nice work

Thanks man!

They aren't kidding when they say a reverse diet off of a show is harder then the last few weeks of contest prep.

it really is. I find it so hard just to not have a goal or deadline. If I have a deadline I can focus in and have no issue doing whatever it takes to get there... Once that's gone and the only goal is "don't get too fat too fast" im a mess

I hear ya. I mean I know I am going to compete again and I most definitely do not want to put on a lot of rebound fat because I've always done that. It sucks right now but I know it'll be worth it when the time comes to cut again. Hopefully will be able to diet down on a much much higher carb intake.

I'll still throw in re-feeds. Actually going to have one Wednesday. I really am focusing on my back and bringing it up so going to possibly hit two re-feeds/high caloric days a week (Wednesday and Saturday : both back days).

Do you like you refeeds pwo or the day before? I've seen it done both ways but I personally like pwo better.

What're you trying to work on with you back? Thickness, width, overall?

Pwo. I've seen/heard some doing them the day before, but I always have done them on days I am trying to bring up lagging body parts to push harder in the gym.

Honestly, thickness and width. I need a wider v-taper and thickness would be nice as well.

I've been struggling to add width as well. I have pretty good thickness just due to my build but width is blah

Back has always been my favorite body part too.

it's become mine ha. I was always a shoulders person but I've struggled to put on the size I want so I kinda went more towards just trying to strengthen them

I

just love the look one can achieve from the back.

I just wish my gym had different machines to hit it at different angles. But I'll be at a new gym at the beginning of the year, so hopefully they have a few that I would like to use.

But for now I'll stick to heavy ass deadlifts and barbell rows

My gym has literally zero effective machines for back. Cables and bb/db exercises are it for me. I'll also be out of my gym come new year as well but I'll be on the road so diff places all the time. I love hammer strength machines so I can't wait to get to use them since most big gyms have them now

Yeah. HS has multiple back machines Id like to use. I really love this machine:

 

[breezy11]

That's a really good one, so is the iso-row and front pulldown. Thankfully, my gym has basically ever piece of HS equipment there is.

Ah yes this is my fav as well. Nothing leaves my lats as sore as the squeeze I get with this.

 

[breezy11]

Lol my bad.

I'll try to get one soon. I haven't taken one since my competition.

Agreed. My new gym has those and most of the hammer stuff...I love hammer strength and it'd make the bulk of machines in a gym if I had the money to own one.

 

[kbayne]

Lol my bad. I'll try to get one soon. I haven't taken one since my competition.

All sort of gains taking place I imagine

 

[kbayne]

Just in time for my chest/shoulder session

 

[kbayne]

Ummm holy sh*t that tastes amazing!!!!

 

[breezy11]

Score.

I'm wicked jealous. Hopefully, I'll have some for Thursday's session.

 

[breezy11]

Ummm holy sh*t that tastes amazing!!!!

You don't have to rub it in.

 

[kbayne]

Lol I had to . Just so everyone knows, I actually paid for that lol.

If paradise cooler tastes that good I can't wait to try blue frost .

 

[kbayne]

WOW.. I get to the gym. Pumped to smash these weights, set my shaker down and it already is mixed with Amino IV, I hit it off the shelf and the shaker explodes.

That's what I get for bragging lol.

No intra for me today

this is a tragedy. We should have a funeral service to show our respect for our fallen comrade

Was it Blueberry 'Burst' ?

That is sad. The rage would give me a good workout though

I was pretty pissed lol but happy my High Volume was in too

Nope. Paradise Cooler. Seriously the taste is amazing!

 

[LiveToLift]

Had to drop by to hate a bit more on your high volume use!! You suck!!! Hahaha

That flavor just sounds incredible! I can only imagine how well it tastes.

I'm pumped for all of you to try it! Seriously blew my mind.

 

[kbayne]

Okay so, get to the gym, Amino IV spills and shaker busts in half. Not a good way to start the session but I was excited about High Volume. Anyways, the pump I got today was stooooopid!! 3rd working set of first exercise and my chest was pumped to the max. Second exercise, pump was insane. As you can tell, I had one hell of a session today.

Here are some pics I snapped:
You know it's a good pre-workout when it's chest and shoulders and you got leg veins poppin out everywhere

Snapped this one after Dumbbell decline presses (first exercise)

Here is a super set from today's lift:

How can you stand all those people around?! I need some room to breathe ha.

Interesting that you do your raises neutral grip. I've tried that way but feel I end up using more arms then shoulders.
