I dig the fasted workouts with BCAAs - good stuff

The only workout or exercise that gets to me when in a fasted state is widowmaker squats... Then again, they make me light headed and nauseous when in a fed state.lol

1060 calories for lunch coming up- 14oz chicken breast, 9oz sweet potato, apple and a banana.

sweet potatoes and chicken. classically delicious.

[MrKleen73]

Excellent base brother! Like the program, the diet and I have to disagree with TallGuy you are already beast mode, ripping into the singles with minimal or no loss of LBM will have you looking SICK!

Doing steak and potatoes tonight myself. Best part of IF is the massive dinners we get!

[MrKleen73]

I am getting ready to go to the wife work for lunch. Having 3 cans of tuna in 2 tuna sandwiches, 2 nectarines, then 2 Cinnamon and brown sugar low fat pop tarts and a blueberry protein smoothie for dessert. I just hate cutting...

[MrKleen73]

Oh yeah I will be eating a ton of turkey spaghetti tonight for dinner too. Intermittent Fasting Oh how I love thee.

[jwa254]

Large meals make me a happy man. As does constantly being asked "how in the hell are you eating all of that?!"

[NYiron]

sub'd! Running this right along side you.

Appreciate the encouragement. I've followed some of your progressions which definitely yields motivation. Figured it was time for me to get more serious/disciplined with my lifestyle. IF definitely makes it easier for me.

Energy levels are up already. Woke up at 0430, hit the gym, felt on point at work all day (important in my line of work to be mentally sharp/confident) and had softball practice from 1800-2030. Feeling good so far. This is what I look forward to most from the dermacrine; more disciplined, focused and overall well being. I think it is a great ergogenic aid.

Had trouble meeting macros today:
65g Fat
236g CHO
283g Prot
2605 calories

Tomorrow is an off day. Might hit some abs, but that would be it.

Its never bad to be a little less, just up your other day to hold the average.

If/when I'm having trouble getting in all my cals, I'll slam some extra BCAAs just to help stay anabolic.

I do this in the AM before I break my fast to keep me satiated and stave off hunger, plus BCAAs are never a bad thing.

Yep, the BCAA's help me at around 8-9am with hunger. I forgot to bring them this morning, so it was coffee to the rescue.

Well, the DC training is getting derailed for a bit, at least for upper body pressing and maybe pulling movements. I've been doing DC for about a month and started having some right shoulder pain. No biggie though, warmed up and pushed through it.

Throwing a softball was a bad idea. Woke up yesterday morning and had trouble raising/abducting my arm. Thought it would feel better after another day of rest. This morning it felt even worse. So I canned the DC chest/back/tri day and did cardio...fak!

Hoping a few days rest, ice/heat and ibuprofen does the trick.

I plan to continue DC training for legs/arms on Saturday. If the shoulder isn't better by next week I'll have one of the doc's I work with order an MRI.

I am already leaning out though. Ever since starting the dermacrine, I've noticed increased body heat/thermo effect, especially after consuming CHO.

[Resolve]

Extra rear delt, trap and rotator cuff movements really helped with my shoulder pain. Wait until it's feeling better though, obviously.

[MrKleen73]

Yeah a little rest then recovery however since you are familiar with DC training add in Dante's shoulder move to help remove any impingment and work all of the shoulders supporting muscles.

start with 25 back and forth every night before bed or when you wake up then go to 50 if you can. Expect the MOST RIDICULOUS pump in your shoulders you have ever had. It will heal up most injuries in about 2 weeks.

Pain has subsided a bit, but we'll see tomorrow morning. Saturday is bi's/legs routine, so hopefully by tuesday i can do some light pulling movements/shoulder retraction/rotator work.

My plan if pressing movements remain an issue will be to focus on posterior chain, back and arms more... and of course keep hammering my body with widowmaker set.

I am noticing some leaning out in my midsection and arms. A bit more vascularity than usual in forearms as well.
