Before I get into anything, I'm going to assume that nobody here trains on a year-round low carbohydrate diet. Am I correct?
You know I've dabbled in the low carb/CKD/carb cycling (UD2.0) and for me it's hell especially UD 2.0, I can't deal with it. I feel like **** all day, my eyes are dry I drink as much water as I can but that doesn't help. I can do CKD okay, no carbs up until workout time and I have been losing some fat, I honestly don't know that it is any different than with carbs. I honestly don't cut/bulk and certainly not a pro-bodybuilder nor do I ever want to be but I do like having an athletic physique.Before I get into anything, I'm going to assume that nobody here trains on a year-round low carbohydrate diet.

I spent most of yesterday reading old posts by Bobo, and watching his clients cut down on 200-300 carbs a day and thinking why can't I do that? *Gasp* I believe that it is just as easy for me to store bodyfat from fats as it is from carbs so I plan on giving the high fat/protein no carb/low carb approach a break and get more into a tweaked 40/40/20 with a low glycemic approach.
Thank you! I will look into this..look at the logs for a user Scivation he details his diet. he put on more than 30 clean pounds in 6 months on low carb diet...
I consider anything under 100 low carb, with that 100 all around the workout and none at any other time (pre/post). I've tried the no carb (just trace carbs from veggies) and it was hell.Whats your definition of low-carb? I've been on low-carbs since jan of this year and dont really plan on over killing the carbs. When I start my DC traning I still dont plan on going over 300gr/day on traning days and will keep it close to 200gr on the weekends. Some say thats low-carb.
Androgen-free right? That's almost impossible even for a noob.look at the logs for a user Scivation he details his diet. he put on more than 30 clean pounds in 6 months on low carb diet...
That is 60 pounds of muscle a year. Natural he says :thumbsup:look at the logs for a user Scivation he details his diet. he put on more than 30 clean pounds in 6 months on low carb diet...
glycogen replinishment will still happen with zero to little carbs. it just might take longer to replenish levels post workout.My main concern is glycogen.. I know I'm going to be low on a low carb diet. I'm hoping to get some input from people who may have gone through this for a long period of time. Again, I'm assuming I will end-up with no information.
This was from his maybe 5% bf after contestAndrogen-free right? That's almost impossible even for a noob.
Oh c'mon, these guys are suppose to be well trained individuals. True fat-free mass doesn't come on that fast without androgens. Not even with a spotless clean bulking diet to limit fat gain...This was from his maybe 5% bf after contest
Some of it was wet, as I think he went from 5% at 165 to around 9% at 195
