Get some lifting shoes bro, fixes that.
If you have cash, get these bad boys:

If you don't want to fork out $200, you can get a pair of Rogues for cheap.
Everyone who is serious about lifting should have a pair imo, if they want stable footing.

Thanks for the info.

Thing is, I never had this problem before. Not until this past year or so.
 
Have you ever tried shoes with a heel wedge for squatting? I definitely recommend them. It feels so much more stable that way, and also prevents heel lift as well as lateral movements. Basically it will improve anyone's squat.

Anyhow, checking into your log - I'll be starting something similar myself (but not logging), so I'll be around checking out progress. I had surgery this year which prevented me from training hard, and need to drop some weight now!
 
Have a dilemma.

I'm going to work 2maro (double time pay) 7am-3pm. It's supposed to be a carb up with a depletion workout be4 my carb up (break fast at 11am)

Should I just try and push my fast to after work and do my depletion workou after than carb up until bed? Or just say **** it and do it Sunday and eat 2maro per norm, high fat/pro?
 
Well, I think I've decided I'm just going to push the fast.

It's gonna be tough, but I'm going to be ubber busy and if I work through my lunch, there's a good chance I can leave early. It also almost assures my SPP Glycomx will be here for my first carb meal.

Then it'll be a night full of buckwheat pancakes, sweet potato's, pasta & cap'd off with pizza!!!!!!
 
ya man i would do it that way. itll be so nice when your crushing some pizza

It was rough but I had the gym all to myself so I could do exactly what I wanted for the depletion.

Still filling my muscle bellies with carbs, I passed out early last night with only about 150gr of carbs. Took a slintensity this morning and am finishing up.

Yeah, took a scoop post workout with my Creatine and Glutamine. It's got an earthy taste, mixes fine. Zero bloat even with too much water. Kept my pump going long enough to get home and cook my food. I'm trying it Monday with my slintensity for my intra workout shake

How does it compare to Karbolyn? I was thinking about ordering some but one of it's selling points is that it keeps you full longer, and I prefer to not be kept full, and be able to eat.

I haven't tried it yet, I've been talking about it for forever but haven't. I'll prolly run to nutri-shop this week and pick up a sample actually. I've got the Glycomyx & Waxy Maize. Could to for the trifecta with Karbolyn. Different carb for mon/wed/fri hmmm

seems like a good idea. Waxy keeps me full for a long time even crappy feeling if 60+. Vitargo Im enjoying even at 70g. Have the glycomyx waiting in mass by the time I get there.

If you try Karbolyn lmk how it compares to Glycomyx. I doubt you will ever use WM again after using Karbolyn, That is why I don't wanna try anything else..lol

Trunutrition has their version "karboload" which is pretty cheap, but with their shipping prices I can pretty much just buy OG Karbolyn.

I have some powdered muscle I am trying to use up, but I HATE the taste, and it makes me nauseousness as hell while working out.

My go to is 50g Karbolyn, 15-20g pepto, 5-10g bcaa
 
Well I extended my carb up, reason being the more i ate the better pump I was getting. I probably ate closer to 800gr carbs between last night and today so about 16hrs total. I feel really full though (muscle wise) and minimal bloat.

Really excited for my workout and is making me re-think my process with carb loads. Change to a Friday night (starting post workout) and running through Saturday. In place of just a Saturday carb day

Diet outline now

Diet will loosely look like so, meat choices may change but for the most part, macros won't vary much

Meal 1:
5 whole eggs
1tbs heavy cream
3 cups spinach
1/4 cup cheese
2 strips bacon

Meal 2 & 4
1 can tuna
2 teaspoon olive oil
2 tbs mayo

Meal 3:
10 oz chicken
2 cups broccoli
1/2 cup cheese
A bit of ranch dressing

Meal 5:
8oz steak cooked in 2tbs olive oil
2 cups broccoli

Meal 6:
4 oz shrimp cooked in 1tbs coconut oil

Depending on recovery, I may add a shake with peanut butter post workout.

DC starts 2maro! Classic 2 way split, cardio on off days. 45-60min LISS cardio, would really like to do it fasted but no chance of me getting up on tue/thur lol, only Saturday & Sunday fasted.

looks good man. You going for like 0 carbs all week
 
I DID get a sample of Karbolyn today though, had to buy something tho lol. Im not mad though, guy gave me a good deal on a waxy maize supp.

Had a good chat with him, I'd love to pick up a spot at a supp store. I think I may keep smoozing over there, guy even said man, you sure know a lot lol. Yeah I'm tooting my own horn a bit, so what, come at me bro (old school am ;-))
 
Frank Reynolds said:
When are you going to use it? Wed? Don't mix any WMS in it. lol
Click to expand...

Lol yeah I was wed. 1/2 about 30mjn pre (25gr) and other half intra.

Side note: I haven't been very hungry since post workout. I'm not bloated or uncomfortable either. I had my steak meal but not my last meal, I'm just not hungry.
 
going back and forth from hiit to liss?

Sorry, I do HIIT on Sunday morning, after my carb day. Help re-establish ketosis & burn cals from Saturdays surplus.

Every other day is LISS. I did flirt with HIIT idea regularly, sometimes I think it but don't post it or justify it. Sorry for the confusion.
 
maybe you mentioned it earlier and I just missed it
 
Great workout, über vascular solid pump but ill elaborate a bit more for Franks sake in a bit.

BB Curl
80x17RP

DB Hammer curls
40x18SS

Leg Press Calf Raise
225x12DC

Lying Leg Curls
115x23RP

ATG squats (heels on 10lbs plate)
185x8
135x20

Karbolyn tastes awesome! Had strawberry flavor. It was weird feeling though, had good vascularity & solid recovery within the 10-15sec "rest" period. But, my stomach felt bloated. Here's the kicker, it was but my abs were "full". As in my abs were more pronounced but pushed out like I was bloated. There wasnt water there?

I had my 50 or 60 grams and I'm hungry now, Monday I was rather satisfied but didn't really have the bloat. I'm going to try Glycomyx at 1.5 scoops Friday to compare to today's feeling gram vs. gram.
 
Hey DW I was reading that you could add widowmakers to other bodyparts that may be lagging. Since my legs are bigger than my whole upper body I was thinking of implementing a drop set type widowmaker to some other bodyparts. What do you think about this?

No. Not to sound like a dick(tone is hard to convey online), but you just need to get bigger. Widowmakers are for very advanced people, who have LEGITIMATE muscle imbalances/weaknesses.

You just need to grow.

Don't monkey with the program. Do it as it is laid out, for a LONG time. Pound the calories, progressively get stronger for reps, grow, and 2, 3, 5 years down the road, see what you look like.

Trust me on this one.

I appreciate the advice, but then why are the widowmakers implemented on legs for everyone? I know you're not being a dick lol, you help alot of people across the board and glad you took the time out to respond. Thanks

They are just part of the basic template for legs. It is what he found to make the legs grow best. One heavy set, and then the high rep set.

The way they are implemented for other body parts are not the same as legs. They are also not done on the 2 way split.
 
I think I found my sweet spot with my workout protocol! I had an awesome workout yesterday.

Decline Hammer Press
270x16RP

Seated DB Laterals
25x28RP

Hammer Dip Machine
270x14RP

Underhand Hammer Pull Down
200x17RP
*had trouble bc the grips were spinning

V-bar Cable Row
160x13
180x9

DId jack3d micro 45min pre workout then mixed up 1.5 scoops Goycomyx with 1/2 gal water, 10gr Glutamine & 2 scoops Recover Pro. I took a few big gulps on my way to the gym and cont. to drink throughout my workout, finished it before my last set.

Glycomyx leaves a much fuller feeling, I don't need to eat for a while post workout. Much more beneficial on a cut.

I also became a USP Labs rep yesterday, pretty excited.
 
Frank Reynolds said:
See that full feeling is what I was worried about. I like to be hungry post workout. Lol

Congrats on the rep position.
Click to expand...

Yeah if bulking, it would appear to be awesome (Karbolyn) Glycomyx provides the same for me, workout wise just keeps me full.

When I hit my full on mass phase here in about 6 weeks, I'll probably give it a go. How much you use frank? I was thinking 100gr split pre/intra/post

Thanks, makes me that much tighter on my diet/training/research now.

Totally unrelated to me but here's my buddy doing his first show, which is a natural show. This is his 8 week out pic and 3 weeks out. 8 week mark is when we started working together. Really excited for him!

I think he will do extremely well if he moved to physique but for now, he loves bodybuilding. Can't say I blame him. Haha
