For sure. Typically only for refeeds, but there are so many options...so many carbs.

This is where I'm at, non training day, 1 pro/fat meal left before bed. Still not enough fat, IMO.

Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I was reading through a bunch of logs here at AM this morning, and there *seems* to be an extraordinary amount of BS.

Of course this applies to nobody ITT, as I think every one of us posts vids. However, when I see people posting what appear to be outrageous numbers for their size, a few uninspiring pics, yet zero vid, I think it's only normal to question it inwardly. I'm not going to call anyone out in their threads, obviously, just more of a casual observation.

It's also possible that I'm just an a$$hole.

I think the same thing. I like when someone asks them to post vids and they always "forget". Oh well, as long as it helps them sleep at night.

Noticed as well...but the last line could still apply here. :439:
 
I just took it easy today; the way the new programming is set up, this week is an EXACT replica of last, so I just got reacquainted with the gym, worked up a good sweat and loosened up.

Warm up, mobility, etc.

CONVO DL
Bar, 135, 185, 225, 275

315x8x1

I hate convo, I have to move the bar a mile, but I just wasnt feeling the sumo today.

CONVO BLOCK PULLS 4"
315xsome
365xsome
385x3x2

Then SSB Oly squats, GHR & back raises. Pretty good workout in retrospect I guess. I totally didn't eat like it was a training day though. Oops. I'll post macros later.
 
Well I tried out my buddy's week 1 last week, and it's identical to my week 1 this week. Rep deads, me bench, exp squats. I imagine he starts all programs the same then adjusts as weaknesses show up.

So tomorrow is supposed to be ME floor press, and I will do those but I'll probably add chains and slingshot to mix it up.

However...SSB is SO AWESOME. I'm excited to squat again Friday.
 
Big man, when you floor press, bring your knees up and put your feet flat on the floor. You don't push with them but it will give you more stability than what you had the last time I saw you doing them straight legged.
 
Here's where I'm at with one pro/fat meal left.

If I can get 50g pro & 23g fat, it'll be perfect.

Even with training I've been satiated with the higher fat during the day, and honestly I don't even notice the low-ish carbs. 100g net is a pretty good spot for me.

Haha! Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

I debated that, actually. I'll bring em up tomorrow.
 
I do much better with fat than carbs...old man insulin response.

Damnnnnn barely any carbs man. I sat at 550 yesterday, 330 today, even less tomorrow. Bleh. Screw this stuff lol

Man when I go over 200g with no training window, I go straight to **** in terms of energy, and I just don't feel "good". I'm sure my high bf% is very instrumental in my energy staying up with fewer carbs.

I'll revisit when I'm 15%. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
FUNNY SHYT. 15%.
 
40s were awesome bubba! 50s blow so far. Lol
 
Youngin checking in! :D
 
I'm suddenly feeling very old. Where's my walker??
 
Like they say: It's not the years, it's the mileage.
 
Alright, session in and it felt f'ng GREAT. I wasnt tired, I am finally acclimating to altitude (my "altitude cold" went away), and I rolled in fired up.

Warm up stuff.

FLOOR PRESS ME
Bar, bar, 135, 185, 225, 275
275+20# chain x3
275+40# chain x2
275+80# chain x2
315x2x2
Add slingshot
365x2
I know the chain total isn't exactly accurate because some gets left on the floor, but I just put the total chain poundage.

FLAT BB COMP BENCH
225x20
225x15x2

SUPERSET
Lat pulldowns some x15x3
Band Tri press down band x25x4

SUPERSET
Seated Klokov 135x10x3
DB shrugs 125x12x3

Pretty thrashed, but I feel great.

Also- gym owner & former competitor is going to coach my DL on Mondays for the next 9 weeks. Hell yes, hands on ass kicking.

Welcome home

Higher fat is not affecting my weight negatively at all. Was 287 this morning, so I should be able to drop to 284 by Sunday's refeed. I'm recovering well and am never hungry, so I think for now macros are dead on. All I need now is some tren e, right AZGandalf? ;)

Comp weight 270??
 
Give the new diet routine some time to work before adding variables yet Smeagol.

Oh yeah I'm just f'ng around. I fear the tren...I'm still a babe in the woods when it comes to that stuff. M1T/4AD sums up my non TRT cycle experience...I'm not near enough my genetic ceiling to f.ck with that.
 
Just seen your profile Swanson. Join date 2003? You're an OG man. I was 13 when you joined, lol! (Trying to make you feel old).

I'm SEASONED! Yeah man I've been at AM a LONG time. Not many still around from back then...

Nothing great today; just some LISS cardio for about 40', getting ready to squat tomorrow.
 
Dang I didn't realize you'd been on AM that long! Super OG status. :D
 
6 o'clock meetings suck. I have to present data to our regional medical directors. I'm sure they're gonna be in a great mood after seeing whining pts all day...
