Nice eye....lol

Dude great progress. See your heads healing nice too...

Yeah, wish I could just explain it one time like I was able to do here on the forum, I am sick and tired of saying, "NO... I did not get into a fight, no one kicked my A$$, it was a wall I tell ya!!!" Then ya get the people who don't believe you, my soon to be ex-wife is Latina and she has been violent in the past (left marks) and my FINAFLEX bosses when they say it think it was her, but it is not, I swear, I would tell people, anyway, it will heal soon enough, just tired of explaining myself, LoL!

No doubt there is a little pressure. However this week I will be coming in leaner for sure, last week was a builder. Not sure if I will be able to drop what he did here though...

Yah it's nuts, but gives you ideas.. see what he's doing is throwing caution to the wind and doing whatever it takes to lose weight. He is relying on the anabolics to keep his mass and it seems to be working despite the rate he is losing weight. Now remember he was damn big to begin with so he was well prepared beforehand for this scenario.... 230 is still fuggin huge given that he has gotten so lean. I am thinking if I add in extra cardio I don't have to worry too much about muscle loss, especially if it's just a few 20 minute high intensity sessions here and there. The only reason I would do this is cuz of the time constraints. Seems to be working for him so ...

Oh I am going to be hitting the gym angry today... fuggin fuggers tryin to dupe me :) Doug Smash!!!! hey did everybody see that movie, if you haven't go see it... magnificent... eat lots of popcorm :)

Eat lots of popcorn huh? LMAO! I will go see that bad boy in a few weeks. Just before they stop showing it in 3D. We have already discussed my short fuse when it comes to movies and people being inconsiderate.
 
Guess who's back for another log... Kleen's Queen! Come give her your support.

Hey al- was wondering why u opt to do slow steady cardio versus hiit for fat loss.. I have done hiit for about 5 years now and honestly il only 23 but i did it for 5 days a week for 2 years then 4 for 2.. Past year I've cut to 3, sometimes twice a week.. Just cNt handle the stress and pain.. But do u believe hiit to be superior to steady? Or as long as you're burning the cals there's no true difference? Thanks!

I look at the Pro's and try to imitate what they do and what I have been taught by a former Pro! Preserve muscle at all cost, by lifting in the morning when I am full of carbs (pre & post workout meals have oatmeal) then carb deplete all day and at the end of the day, spike my thermogenic factor and raise my heart rate up at a slow, but long/sufficient time frame to burn calories without sacrificing precious muscle! I mean if it works for the Pros, then why won't it work for me, is how I have always done it (well since the past 6yrs) and it truly does work well and works for anyone and everyone. If you it does not work, then you are not doing it exact, plain and simple, because if followed strict there is no way for it not to work!!!

So steroids?? Lol jk

No you make great points. I've been following a similar plan the past week n a half n mist admit I have Gaines 2-3 pounds with LITTLE bf accum. Not none, but little. And admittedly not working as hard or eating as clean as I can or should.

Sorry if I hijacked but your recent PIcs and methods have me rethinking my less than successful ways!

awesome workout man... that workload would probably kill me lol.

Good job in keeping the diet too!

Looking for great things to happen this week.

Preserve muscle at all cost, by lifting in the morning when I am full of carbs (pre & post workout meals have oatmeal) then carb deplete all day and at the end of the day, spike my thermogenic factor and raise my heart rate up at a slow, but long/sufficient time frame to burn calories without sacrificing precious muscle!

Yah Clen T3 and the fact that they are probably using Winnie and god knows what else does not make them very good test subjects for what works and what doesn't. I am sure some pros really are on top of their game, you can see that some use good form in their workouts but many do not. Drugs really skew things... That being said I think there is a good case to be made for both short intensive cardio like sprints or interval trraining and longer periods done less intensely. Now you can exercise too long and lose muscle ie. marathon runners, you will notice that the longer the duration of an event the less muscle on the athlete. An hour of low intensity cardio will probably not be catabolic though.

At the rate Al is losing though, if he wasn't using anabolics I believe he would be losing muscle. Al knows these products and he knows he can push it when on them. I am still a bit leary of going that fast but I have stepped up my game adding in some more cardio and keeping my 5k walks very brisk. I cleaned up my diet a bit more also. I don't think I will lose 5 lbs a week but it's say a happy medium between Als fast pace and my slow pace. If it works form him it should for me, after all I am using the same products.
 
HIIT and Steady State both have their place. However in the end several studies have proven that over a 24 hour period they burn the same amount of fat when performed at the same time of day and for the same amount of calories. If you have limited time then HIIT is your friend, just take some aminos if you are worried about catabolism during. Steady State is much less likely to cause a cortisol release. However there is also a beneficial hormonal rebound from the cortisol during exercise. It all comes down to personal preference, reason for doing it, and if it conveniently fits into your schedule. I will say that in general someone doing HIIT will be in much better condition, but that does not mean the final physical appearance will be any better. That being said 3-4 HIIT sessions a week is pretty intense and unless short ones following your weights probably just too much. I prefer to do some of all three types of cardio myself. HIIT, MIIT, and Steady State Cardio and switch them around at will.
 
Like Kleen, I do both HIIT and steady state. I've been incorporating some metabolic training for cardio burn as well.
 
Good stuff Kleen n volcom

Agreed... Good $hit, Love me some Knowledge!!! I should not have stated so bluntly which one is better than the other, different strokes for different fokes and I really like the coming back a 2nd time and doing the 1hr of slow burn, works very well for me and does not leave me feeling weak and depleted every day and all day, when I push the cardio envelope harder but for a shorter period of time, it appears I get more exhausted/depleted and burn less fat, again, how I feel it is affecting me, cannot speak for everyone... Perfect example is the difference between an ectomorph and a endomorph, their diets need to be almost polar opposites, but in order for both the achieve the same desired result... Mesomorph, well diet and exercise work differently on different people as much as nutrition, right? Again... my personal opinion, all opinions appreciated and welcome here!

- I finished this entire workout, Abs included, in 50 minutes. I wanted to comment a little more on my number of sets for back, I think that was excessive even for me, I just wanted to take it slow and step up the weights very slowly due to my injury and not rush anything, but in my defense, it felt awesome and as my glycogen/energy levels depleted I lowered the weight and sped up to pace to finish in my "Golden Hour!" No cardio tonight, got a blister on my foot and I've been feeling a little too carb depleted (weak/head-achey), so I'm skipping cardio tonight and I'm going to eat a little carbs, have an ex-girlfriend who is willing to meet me for sushi (ahh sweet perfection) good clean carbs with some raw fish!

Diet:
Meal 1 - 2 scoops whey isolate + 2/3 cup raw oatmeal (pre-workout)
Meal 2 - 2 scoops whey isolate + 3/4 cup raw oatmeal (post-workout)
Meal 3 - 6 egg whites + 1 yoke + 1 can spinach
Meal 4 - 8oz Baked Chx + Green Beans
Meal 5 - 1 Oh Yeah Bar + an Ostrim jerky stick
Meal 6 - A Butt-Load of Sushi!!!
- Over 2 gallons of water...
 
Gross now way I would eat my sushi out of a butt!
 
Depends on what the butt looks like ....

Nah no need to have sushi from there, in that situation there is always an all you can eat fish place just around the bend...
