prep for 09

[paint2100]

I found a competition with the organization OCB next year sometime in the spring did not get a date yet. This will be my first attempt at a getting low in body fat. I will d0 the competition if i do achieve low enough body fat while not losing to much mass. If i mess up by losing to much this will just a be an experience which i will be testing out. I have been lifting for roughly 5 years.
I am currently doing a CKD diet right now and i'm trying to fool around with the macros to not to lose to much weight to fast or gain weight. I bulked up to 235 and i recently cut down to 213. I lost roughly 10 pounds of muscle when i was in the hospital. this is my diet

I took out deadlifts today because I started a higher dose of medicine because it make me light headed going from seated to standing up. Overall good workout I'm starving every night which sucks, but I get through it.

Great work so far! Can see a big difference in a short time. As you lose fat you can better evaluate your weak points and focus your training on those areas. At this point I would say work on your shoulders, they are not up to par with your arms.

Thanks for the advice and checking out my log. I will try and focus more on my shoulders since I believe you are correct that my arms over power them.

I think your low, low carb diet is going to bite you in the azz. I don't see a need to go that low. Up your carbs and up the cardio. Or if you feel you need to have low carb days, fine, alternate days (EOD, E3D, etc), but don't limit your carbs for days on end. I think that method of dieting is for old azz people that aren't concerned w/preserving muscle mass.

Carbs should be LOW glycemic except for PWO....throw in a mix of high and low GI carbs for that PWO meal/shake.

Yea I have been thinking about raising it. I don''t want any rebound by just upping the carbs, so I was going to bring it to around 50grams ( double what I taking in now) for a few weeks then work it up to where I will not put on weight.

Ok i've been busy with school and lost track of my diet, but today I went back to being compeletly clean I decided to up my carbs to 50g for a few weeks. I will then bring it up more slowly so I don't get any rebound. Theirs seems to be alot of people who don't like keto diets, which I do agree with so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. updated diet stats.Daily
