hmm interesting idea. not sure how i'd keep it frozen between when the meeting starts and when the eating starts
 
EasyEJL is irritated as he has no b!otch to iron his shirt for him, and got in too late yesterday to get the hotel to do it

EasyEJL probably just screwed his intake for the day eating at the breakfast buffet of the hotel he is staying at. Particularly considering that EasyEJL will be forced to eat pizza for lunch as its the corporate monthly meeting day

Mmmmm...I love breakfast buffets at high end hotels! :head:
 
Morning Gents. Seems like theWilman had a decent weekend. And seems like XJ's Broncos didn't fair to well against...who was it again...oh thats right the Raiders. Easy, just hang the shirt up in the bathroom when you take a shower and close the door. It tends to steam out all but the most stubborn wrinkles (aka Lazy Mans Ironing, I know it all too well).

On a side note, I had to hang out at my girlfriend's sister's place for a while on Saturday. And we passed this house that must have had $30,000 dollars worth of christmas decorations outside. I kid you not, you could see that place from the space station. The guy's house was covered in lights, and by covered I mean there was no more than 1 inch between lights ALL over his house. Then he had turned the acre to acre and a half of yard into a light up christmas wonderland. And people can stop by and walk through it all. Apparently he begins putting lights up in September. I was overawed by his enthusiasm, as I've never even seen that man lights, and Christmas decorations in an entire neighborhood, let alone one house. What must that electricity bill look like? And what happens when one of those little lights goes out and kills an entire strand. Does he really test each one? I'm speechless...:fool2:
 
am I the only person who is wondering how many times wil picked up the phone, started to dial the pediatricians number, and then put the phone down?

He picked up the phone 0 times to call the pediatrician.
17 times to call the Inca, and 16 times to the hair salon.

He would keep a piece of gum in their shirt pocket? Who keeps anything in a shirt pocket???

Now, I do leave gum in my pant pockets all the time, and find it the washer.
 
I have decided that this Jessica Jaymes is now top of my "Have to sleep with before I die" list. In fact I have an agreement with my gf that I can sleep with one celebrity/model if I ever get the opportunity (although Im sure if I ever did, Id be dead). And I think this Jessica girl of XJ's is now that celebrity/model.

Are you at work? If so, maybe you can see these images because they aren't tagged or something, so your work cannot filter them out.
 
Carb Cycling for Idiots
by Mike Roussell


Building Mass while keeping your abs.

That's the holy grail of bodybuilding, isn't it? Everyone wants to get huge but stay lean, but getting lean is damn hard work for most people.

For natural physique enthusiasts the old paradigm of bulking over the winter and leaning out for the summer can be a recipe for disaster as too much fat is laid down during the winter, often causing your muscular definition to suffer so you end up looking like a "fat guy with big forearms." Let me save you from that fate.

Summer's long gone, but that's no reason to lose the beach body.

Adopting a cyclic approach to your nutritional plan is a surefire way to keep you lean but get you big. When using a cyclic approach to dieting, the two most common variables that are manipulated are time of the cycle and nutrients being cycled.

In regards to carb cycling, the cycles are usually a couple of days long and carbohydrates and calories are cycled. When cycling your carbs/calories you usually intersperse higher carb days into your week based on when you train. These higher carb days are also higher calorie days.

I believe this cycling of carbohydrates in relation to your training is a good idea and should be structured into most of your nutritional plans. (I'll outline specific plans later.)


When To Cycle?

If you need to lose a lot of weight, then carb cycling isn't for you.

If you need to put on a large amount of muscle (>15-20 pounds), then carb cycling isn't for you.

Carb cycling is for someone who's lean already and who wants to pack on more muscle at a slow and steady pace. If you have a lot of weight to lose, then you're better off dieting down first. If you have a lot of muscle to pack on your frame, then focus on taking in lots of calories.

Focus solely on one as you'll get faster results than if you try to carb cycle your way to a massive (or lean) physique. Carb cycling should be thought of as fine-tuning.


Carb Cycling for Mathematicians

Now that we've laid out the basic structure and pin pointed the people that'll benefit the most, let's get into the details. This would normally be the part of the article in which I give you very specific gram/pound body weight recommendations for carbohydrates on the various low/moderate/high carb days...but I'm not going to.

This is Carb Cycling for Idiots, remember? Not Carb Cycling for Mathematicians. I deal with a lot of real world people: business professionals, college students, people with families, etc. These people don't have the time to figure out that on Monday they need to eat 0.5g of carbs per pound and on Tuesday they need to eat 0.75g of carbs per pound, etc. They don't have that kind of time.

Practicality trumps everything for these people. People need to be focused on results, not how much time they can spend making a meal plan to get those results. It's important to remember that counting calories and being very specific about which nutrients cross your lips doesn't make you advanced. Results are what matters.

The best way to elicit a desired nutritional result without having to worry about counting calories is to focus on food selections. In this case, I'm talking about starchy carbohydrates — rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, whole grain pasta, etc, etc. These foods are high in carbohydrates and calorically dense compared to their vegetable counterparts.

We're going to exploit this difference to allow you to keep your six-pack while you pile on so much beef onto your frame you'll need to turn sideways to walk though a doorway.

Here's the plan (and it is so simple you can start tomorrow). You're going to consume protein and fruits/vegetables every meal. Your fat intake is going to be inversely proportional to your starch intake, meaning if you eat lots of starches at a meal then your fat intake should lower. If you don't eat any starches then your fat intake is higher.

As I mentioned above, ability to cycle carbohydrate intake is going to be purely dependent on your starch intake. There are 4 types of days in this model

No Starch — This is obvious, you just don't eat any starches. Your carbohydrate intake will be entirely made up of fruits and vegetables.

Low Starch — You'll have starches during your workouts and in the first meal following your workout.

Moderate Starch — You'll have workout starches and starches at your first two meals following your workout.

High Starch — Breakfast starches, workout starches, and starches at your first two meal post workout.

Now if you use the "starch cycling" approach, your weekly nutrition plan will look like the following, depending on whether you're doing full body training or some kind of upper/lower split training:

Full Body Training

Sunday: Off — No Starches

Monday: Full Body — High Starch

Tuesday: Off — No Starches

Wednesday: Full Body — High Starch

Thursday: Off — No Starches

Friday: Full Body — High Starch

Upper/Lower Split Training*

Sunday: Off — No Starch

Monday: Upper Body — Moderate Starch

Tuesday: Lower Body — High Starch

Wednesday: Off — No Starch

Thursday: Upper Body — Moderate Starch

Friday: Lower Body — High Starch

Saturday: Off — No Starch

*The upper days are allocated moderate carbs, but if you want to focus on improving the muscles of your upper body then allocate the high carb days to your upper body workout days and moderate carb days to your lower body workout days.

If you're using body part splits, then use the Low Starch days for smaller muscle groups (e.g. arms). A shoulder day would warrant moderate starch while chest, back, or legs need to be on high starch.


Wrap Up

As you can see the starch cycling plan that I've outlined is extremely simple in that you don't need a calculator, you don't need to count calories, and you can start tomorrow. It's so simple even a caveman could do it.
 
well, i'm off to the corporate office for the staff meeting, probably won't be able to be back till after 6PST, carry on without me ;)

I really like Christmas lights...really festive.

With that said, I hate the excess that people feel is a necessary part of Christmas. The commercialization, the debt, the stress, etc. etc. I'm done now.
 
In addendum, he states that "Carb cycling is for someone who's lean already and who wants to pack on more muscle at a slow and steady pace."

I guess I'll have to follow the more detailed version that has a "cutting" plan.

post that calorie table that has the 3 sections of positive net gain and 3 sections of weight loss, and then it's like further got sections for enhanced vs natural people

I need to get a look at that again and bookmark it away for future reference.

I don't listen to Mike Roussell. I figured I would post his perspective. DS wrote an article on it as well. I will find it, post, and confuse you even more :woohoo:

I think I know which one you mean. 1 sec
 
Any of you guys ever SAT on one of your nuts? One rolled under my thigh last night as I was taking a seat...Im still in pain.
 
Hmmm...just got back from my mid-day workout. Did Back and arms today. I'm stronger than I thought I would be after a few months off...muscle memory is the shizznizzle. I'll be back to deadlifting 315 for working sets in no time. Sweeeeeetttt.

Anyone ever done a "Finish all the supplements I have lying around cycle?" I whipped everything out of my supp drawer and I have all this stuff that I never used. So Im going to use one at a time until they're all gone. Right now Im finishing a thing of NO-Xplode (I know, I know, who buys that stuff), then I have some Super Cissus, half a bottle of PowerFULL, half a bottle of Retain 2, Taurine, Creatine Mono, 1.5 bottles of the old Leviathan, some GABA...that should last me for a while. I think after I get those gone, I'll be done with supps for the next year. See how well I do just eating and lifting.
