lol... I dunno buddy... me personally I would only do IF if I was kbowing I wasnt as busy... and not as focused on my bodybuilding career... if I have time.. you cant go wrong with multiple meals throughout the day...

I've been Ifing since june and sometimes my stomach still roars for food hours before I am about to break fast lol. Starvin like an african child, but then I just do something productive and tend to forget how hungry I am.

[Distilled Water]

Mason, you sayin I'm not productive, WTF?!?!? Lol I kid I kid

My biggest problem is I am up at 5am for work. Way out schedules are, I don't eat until 11. 6 hours is a lot longer than most go without eating I'd venture to say.

When I was on swing shift it would have been perfect for IF. Work from 3pm-1:30am 4 days a week. Could have woke up at 11:30, trained at 12, broke my fast at 1, capped off my feeding with my 9pm break at work!

I'm going to stick with it for a while longer. I have a habit of jumping around a lot bc I'm impatient and know things that work. I'm trying to take time and try new things to see how affectie they are. That's what lead me to keto & DC, both have been awesome but back then (08'ish) that was waaaay outside the box for me. Trying to remember an open mind is the best mind....

[masonmarin18]

Haha yeah yesterday I woke up at 8:30 am, started work at 11 am and didnt break fast until 4 pm. So by that time I was fasting for around 19 hours, my stomach was growling like a mofo 11-1 then hunger kind of turned off when I stopped thinking about it. IF can be hard to work around with a busy schedule, but I believe there are good benefits from it if you can do it.

I would say stick with it if you can man, you gotta stick to a routine for awhile to see how it works for you, otherwise time was pretty much wasted imo.

nows the time to eperiment you dont want to be playing around once it gets closer to showtime

[masonmarin18]

You are doing keto with IF? ****.. idk about that haha.

Haha yeah buddy!!!! Frank and I spoke about it, a little dicey in the initial phase but once I get to the point with an intra shake, things should get interesting!!!

[masonmarin18]

Sweet bro, should be interesting too see!! Btw I am starting my DC bulk soon going to log it if you or anyone here wants to follow.

Masonmarin's First Training Log, IF / DC style Bulk!!

Will be starting on Monday.

[Distilled Water]

Call me paranoid but with some of the recent findings with people BUN readings from blood work with their IF keto dieting has me a little worried. I'm trying to schedule a doctors appointment for blood work next week.

Dropped about 5lbs this week, but nothing from my waist. Kind of odd, figured my waist would budge a little. Maybe I need to up my fiber

How many of you guys cook with oil? If I use 1TBS olive oil to cook in, should I count the 15gr of fat?

Seems like the meat absorbs pretty much all of the oil

I don't cook with it, but if you do I would count it.

Yeah that's what I thought. Looking at ways to add fat without carbs.

Found a way to cut my hunger. ECY stack, low dose in the morning. 12.5/100/5. I did it this morning and it wasn't unbearable. I could maybe do just yohimbe, that stuff kills me appetite. Wish nutra still had their capped version BOGO!!!!

[Distilled Water]

Well, safe to say I'm pretty low on carbs. Workout I was draaaained, huge pump though! Jack3d micro is legit, I'd pick some up guys, real talk.

Leg extensions
170x3x12

ATG Squats (2sec in the bucket)
135x3x15

Leg Press (2sec in the bucket)
225x3x15

Lying leg Curl
100x3x12

Hip ad-ab duction
3 high rep sets super set

Leg lifts (ala Mattys4)

Rope crunches

I'm gas'd I had a hard time getting up off the ground from rope crunches. Wish I had some keto one strips to see if I could carb up, I know I'm depleted I look flat as can be.

[Distilled Water]

I think I could eat my tuna, mustard, evoo pepper mayo and evoo concoction every day. When I go back to school I may have to, lol.

70gr protein
70gr fat
6gr carbs

I count it. I use olive oil mostly macadamia oil is good too. MCT oil is great on your lowest carb days for a lil extra energy

Nice workouts man. The 2 sec contraction at the bottom is bad ass my legs have grown 2 inches since I started that. I do all my squats now 4-2-1-1 weight doesnt matter with that tempo.
