Cool, appreciated man. Jacob might be right tho - on the degree of difficulty scale, that one's up there even if you make it look so easy. I'll practice on it...

Okay so today was cardio & abs:
5 abs exercises x 2 sets each in circuit fashion
20 minutes HIIT
10 minutes steady state cardio

I'm beginning to like the 20 min. HIIT/10 min. steady cardio format (instead of 30 min. HIIT), it just feels right.
Tried something different w/ diet today. I'm not trimming back on intake until Saturday (4-weeks out) but I wanted a low-intake variation today. As well, I wanted to try P-Slin prior to a cardio w/o, as all I typically use on these days is AP.
Reason being I only slept 5 hours last night & felt I needed a bit more fuel for cardio today. I should mention that was the first time sleeping less than 6 hours in a couple weeks; usually been hitting close to 7 hours/night. PowerFULL has been awesome to get my sleep patterns corrected, last night must've been a blip.
Anyway, P-Slin meal was:
1/2 cup oats
1 scoop Mass Maker
1 scoop Isopure Isolate
1 piece Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread
59g carbs, 41g protein @420 cals

post w/o meal (w/ AP):
1 scoop Mass Maker
1 scoop Isopure Isolate
1 piece Ezekiel cr bread
1 grapefruit
53g carbs, 35g protein @370 cals

I'll make the remaining 4 meals of my day between 260-310 cals, w/ 28g carbs at meal #4 and 24g carbs w/ meal #6. That'll make just over 2000 calories for the day. Kind of a preview for the dietary changes I'll slide into full-time next week.

I'm diggin this Ezekiel bread. Just got hip to it last fall; living on a keto diet, I really wasn't looking aroung for carb sources so it never came to my attention. Some awesome stuff tho, good macro profile, minimum fat, perfect carb amount to be versatile w/ my meals, and biblically righteous! Gotta like that...

I just picked up some Cr ezekial bread from sprouts. I have to agree with u the macros fit perfect into my ckd diet as well and it taste good. They have these ezekial tortillas that im gonna start making chicken quesadillas with.

now that sounds interesting, tasty too...

yeah there's a couple diff. varieties of that stuff, i've been using the orange wrapper variety (still do) w/ lower fat content for chicken breast sandwiches, just started using the cinnamon raisin variety for pre/post w/o, figured the small sugar content from the raisins wouldn't hurt me at those times.

kind of random...but the raisins made me think of it...do you ever look at the acidic value of your meals? i was just wondering because i noticed mine used to be pretty acidic and since i have tried to have a more alkaline diet it seems to have helped with several factors...anyways though ima have to try some of that cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread it sounds delicious

never gave that much thought, kinda out of my realm. what factors improved do you refer to (alkaline vs. acidic?)

it is pretty tasty tho...

Well most people who eat a balanced and healthy enough diet are pretty alkaline. If your diet gets to acidic it can deplete you of certain nutrients. Since i have read about it i try to make sure to have lots of veggies with my meals and fruits and nuts as well bc they are very alkaline foods. Sorry to hijack was just wondering

it's all good, i like learning things.
i eat a pretty balanced diet tho, lots of veggies, broccoli 2-3 daily & a huge salad w/ tomatoes every day. i should be cool eh? grapefruit is the only fruit i eat currently tho, that's got to be pretty acidic...
used to eat lots of cashews, peanuts & almonds but not during contest prep.

yea you should be cool..grapefruit is actually pretty alkaline. It just gets hard for me to keep fresh veggies in my dorm room so i have to rely on other foods like nuts and fruits to help. The raisins made me think about all this just because i use raisins alot to help balance my acidic foods(raisins are very basic/alkaline) I was just looking out for ya
