My plan for my run with XF

Rodja · 10-22-2007, 02:49 PM

I am still tinkering with what I am going to run with my XF, but I know that RPM, Drive, and BCAAs will be included. I am torn between IGF-2 and Activate X, but that is not really the point right now.

Unlike most of you bastards, I am going to be cutting during the holidays, which is probably going to be a horrible idea. Not a true cut in the BBing sense, but I am going to be at maintenance or slightly below for the 50 day cycle. Since I decided to drop to 155 lbs, I really can't get too far above 175 unless I want to go through hell again. This will not start until November 5th, but the diet I am planning is something along these lines:

8 AM
1 whole egg w/ 2 whites
4 oz animal protein (turkey or beef)
2 slices Ezekiel bread or 5.5 oz of red potatoes
1 serving of fruit (banana or pineapple)

10:30 AM
10g of BCAAs w/ 6g of added Leucine

11:30-12:30
First Training Session

1 PM
6 oz of protein
1 C of Wild Rice
2 servings of veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, or green beans)

3 PM
2 whole eggs w/2 whites
2 Tbsp of Salsa
Mushrooms

5PM
Smoothie of:
Pumpkin
Pineapple
Vanilla EvoPro

6-8 PM
Second Training Session
10g of BCAA w/ 6g of Leucine

8:30 PM
6 oz of protein (beef or fatty fish)
1/2C of Wild Rice
2 servings veggies

11 PM
1 Tbsp Almond Butter or 1 oz of mixed nuts
1.5 servings of EvoPro

My basic principle are to use as few refined products as possible and, outside of Ezekiel bread and protein/BCAAs, I have all natural whole foods in my diet. Every 3-4 days, I will add 50-75g of carbs for metabolic confusion and to have a small refeed.

Is there anything that up think that I should add or change?? I was thinking to maybe add in some more fats since I am only going to be having around 60g/day.

20% of your caloric intake is fine. Coconut oil, and MCT's are excellent choices to increase fat intake.

No, I do cardio everyday, but I lift 3x/week. This is my basic breakdown-
Mon-Lift, Conditioning/MMA
Tue-Cardio, Jiujitsu
Wed-Lift, Conditioning/MMA
Thur-Cardio, JJ
Fri-Lift, Cardio
Sat-Cardio or conditioning

Cardio can range from distance running (5 miles or so) to cross-training to HIIT. It all depends on how I am feeling.

Goodluck!

If your not using any un-natural hormones get in at LEAST 15 fat intake or higher or your test levels drop.As an expirenced ring fighter myself you want every edge you can use.Hope you make the choices that are right for you!

That was something I was thinking about doing, especially since I have seen a few articles where adding in cholesterol for periods of time can lead to extra LBM gains.

Ehh, it is my decision, so I can't really complain too much. Also, like I said in another thread, that $1000 show/$1000 win fight check will make it a little easier. Luckily, I can still go balls-out during Thanksgiving and have plenty of time to make weight.

I'm currently doing at least a dozen whole eggs a day. fyi medium eggs have about 60mg, large 65-70, and xl 70-75 of AA. My cholesterol is quite low, so I could actually stand to take in the extra fat.

Really, where did you read that and is it temperature stable??
