Do you think the cycle contributed in the drop?

Are yours asparagus flavored?
lol ... no but all we have it chocolate, chocolate chip, and berry.
I knew I didn't like canada... No strawberry or cinnamon? That's blasphemous!
I always thought it was 96.5 but I invested in Sirius/xm so I have no idea what the locals are these days or who's on what lol.
Being a radio technician I must say that's an impressive transmission system they have to make it across the lake...
Let me get caught up from holidays and I'll see what I can do.Strawberry might be the berry. I think there are two berries. No cinnamon, no sundae, no fn peanut butter /chocolate which is my fav. And don't say you don't like Canada. Say something like, Simon what's your address and I'll send you some !!! lol
You could be right, was a long time ago. I did the same, gotta have my Stern in the mornings.
Let me get caught up from holidays and I'll see what I can do.
It's not all of canada. Just Vaughan. Hated it there. The company I worked for was based out of there and they treated employees like dog sh!t
Lmao stern was def 95.1. I remember listening to him going to school about a million yrs ago.
Was just kidding around... Ya that would make me dislike Vaughan too. That and getting to it up the 400 always sucks a$$.
Dan, Kleen is right, pop tarts will work as well BUT if you're like me, I cannot limit myself on **** like that. That's why I leave that **** for cheat meals or free meals. That's just me though I should've clarified![]()
Cheat / Free meals don't justify gorging either guys... I have ket a box of them for 2 months before when they didn't fit my macros at the time. I used to do things that made self control with food damn near impossible but when clear headed not so much.Lol im the same as you. Especially with poptarts. We can't keep them in the house or I'll smash em
Sucks about the over cooking, great on the macros.2528 calories. 65f 186c 303p. Are the final macros. Final meal was 7 ounces of backstrap that I marinaded for 2 days. I over cooked it :-(.
Calves for 10 sets 6 sets of abs and 20 mins of liss cardio. My leg DOMs from Monday is severe right now. I tried rolling them after the gym. We'll see how that helps.
Increase fats and cholesterol intake and lower carbs a bit to adjust. Body needs cholesterol to make testosterone. Add 5000 IU vitamin D to your diet and see if that helps. Think about adding ZMA to your supplements taking it all at night.So I just got some news from the doctor which has made me rethink my strategy for this cut, I've been diagnosed with low Testosterone, so until I get that sorted and have a plan of action in that respect I will be keeping my calories higher and increasing my activity level to compensate. I'll have to sit down and nut out a more in depth plan of attack when I get home tonight.
Thank you Kix
Okay another solid fukcing day. I feel like I did during the first half of my prep, focused, determined and ON POINT!
Back and calves this day
One arm bb row
4 work sets of 10/10/10/9
Smith BB row rest pause
4x6 elbows out
Close grip pull downs
2 big drop sets
Meadows style DB pullovers
3x10
DB Shrugs 3 sec contraction
3x12 these are brutal if weight is heavy enough
Did some stretching in there twice haha
Seated calves
6x10+10partials
Didn't end up doing HIIT which brings me to my question. This is why I do t do well doing my own diet, I continually second guess myself.
I've dropped 1 lb every day this week which is kinda freaking me out. 1-2 lbs a week is ok but three lbs in 3.5 days ????? Macros were 305/102/105 for 2575ish cals. A lite lower than normal.
My question for anyone really but I'll call on Kleen specifically, Im on day 8 I believe of this 100g carbs high fat does this sudden weight drop concern anyone? Should I do a 200-300g clean refeed or wait it out another 4 days or so?
My strength is actually slightly increasing. I feel and look a tad tighter but I don't want to lose too fast.
I'm open to your suggestions opinions. With where I'm at a slow steady cut /recomp should be enough to get me close to my goals but I'd rather deadlift in Zumba wear then look flat but lean. Haha

Yeah and if you didn't get pharma grade SERMS you may have simply gotten research grade alcohol or fillers.
My fats are currently sitting around 80g, do you think I should bump them up to say 100? Ill throw VitD and some Zma and see if that helps.
I had pharma grade serms, I always make a point of spending a bit more on post cycle supports.
Yeah 100-120 would be good.My fats are currently sitting around 80g, do you think I should bump them up to say 100? Ill throw VitD and some Zma and see if that helps.

why dont you look into going keto on the diet, or maybe just "paleo". they both call for tons of fat. you wont be smashing carbs so it'll keep you lean as well as hopefully help your testosterone production.
Omg that recipe is delicious. I wanna try with chicken and maybe toss a pepper or onion inYeah 100-120 would be good. Good stuff here. Speaking of good stuff. Microwave Crustless Quiche I came up with on the fly this morning. 2 cans tuna, 2 whole eggs, 3/8 cup 2% shredded cheese, cajun seasoning, drain tuna and put it all in a blender & blend quickly then poor / scoop into microwave safe bowl cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes then cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Let cool and eat with hot sauce on top. It did not need the hot sauce to be honest but I love hot sauce!!! This was great and the macros were sexy too. 444 calories 3g carbs 20g fats 63g protein

Having a hard time hitting macros today. Sitting at 1840 cals right now with one meal left. Right now I'm at 180p/133c/70f and I have one meal left for tonight. And in just had to force feed my last meal. Just not hungry today. Trying to think of something I can eat after work that's calorie dense with little carbs and fats...I'm thinking a grilled chicken salad but Thats not gonna get me anywhere close to my numbers. Any ideas??
99/1 ground Turkey
Here's a shot at my lagging wheelz. They have grown a bit but nowhere near where I want them.

I got some leg pics today too........but I'm hiding![]()

Well, you've got two already. You're gonna have to mess with genetics or something to grow the other. Sorry man.My goal is three trunks lol
Beans your legs are legit. Hope your kid feels better man. Load up on glutamine that way if you catch it you'll fight it off quick

Congrats!
Yes that would have been perfect, and while making it better a tiny bit of dill!Omg that recipe is delicious. I wanna try with chicken and maybe toss a pepper or onion in
Keto makes everyone unhappy the first 3 weeks. That is why you really don't want to do any refeeds your first 3 weeks or it can prolong the bodies shift to predominantly burning fats for energy.I might look into a paleo type diet, I don't think I could do keto tho, tried it in the past and I wanted to seriously hurt people lol.
Ok ill drop carbs and bump fats!
That recipe looks amazing kleen, might have to give it a go!

Well you have 2 and the 3rd well if you don't already big enough there you are pretty much stuck...Hiding schmiding! Let's see em
Why thank you I've been killing them but in relation to my upper body they are small. My goal is three trunks lol
Sounds like you spent all night manning up taking care of the lil one. No need to exhaust yourself when there is an obviously a heightened chance of getting ill right now due to exposure.Sooooo today is all fukcered up! The wife and I were up with my son literally every 45 mins last night. He has a horrid cough and when my alarm went off at 330 he was asleep so I hit snooze. I know I know man up well sleep is as important so I'll do one of two things. Try and get in tonight and continue as scheduled tomorrow or push everything back a day and take Monday off then resume.
Woke up late and just put a bunch of food together slammed a shake so we will see how the diet shakes out.
Precisely this ^^^^^Beans your legs are legit. Hope your kid feels better man. Load up on glutamine that way if you catch it you'll fight it off quick

Not a problem grapefruits are excellent for fat burning.Chest day today. Was in and out including cardio in less than 45 mins. Which is ok since I was in a hurry but still feel like I left stuff out today. Subbed incline press for incline cable fly's because my shoulders and elbows have been bothering me a little bit the last two days. Probably has something to do with it being -4 here yesterday morning. Its pretty much been cold as fuk for like a week now.

Not sure how macros are going to end up today. Ive decided to start throwing grapefruits back into breakfast so carbs will be a little bit higher from here on out.
Just going to throw some observations out there as far as what I'm doing nutrition wise.
First, weight had held steady at 209-210 upon rising so I'm assuming that Initial drop was water and glycogen. Going to continue this layout for 5/6 more days then slowly add carbs in and cycle them.
Also on my off days I'm implementing all fat and protein for first part of day and saving carbs for last two meals. Turns out I read the same article Kleen posted the other day on meadow's site.
By doing this it is said the body will better utile carbs later in the day and in turn you will feel better as well. I will say I'm feeling much better having protein and fats throughout the day and eating my carbs later. I typically struggle finishing my day with protein and fats only.
I am however still utilizing my peri-workout nutrition with carbs on training days. Since my main focus isn't strictly fat loss I feel this is important. The article claims it's not but I'm just experimenting. So,
Non training days
Last two meals I eat my carbs
Training days
First three meals I eat all my carbs
Pre intra post
Going well actually and if I lean up faster than anticipated I may give CBL a try.
Just my initial thoughts this far
What they did find in a Scientific review by Alan Arganon and another guy basically regarding the "Anabolic Window" was that in a "Fasted state" protein alone post workout increased nitrogen balance by like 16 % and protein with carbs increased it almost 3 fold. However in a fed stated which included eating protein up to 4 hours prior to the workout, or aminos immediately pre workout kept nitrogen balance in an already positive state and the post workout carbs did not have a large effect at all in that situation because nitrogen balance was already high. So basically the post workout Anabolic Window was more important for "fasted" trainers than "fed" trainers. Keep in mind the aminos directly pre workout was considered a fed state. The article I posted mentioned a formula to use to figure out how many carbs to take in post workout somewhere in the 30 - 50 range for the type of work we are doing. However the source of the carbs not as important so you could use fruit in that situation which will spike insulin, which shuttles nutrients into the muscle even though the fructose would be mostly absorbed by the liver and not the muscle leaving the muscle with high sensitivy for th glycogen later in the day while still being slammed with the protein post workout via the insulin spike. Just food for thought when you do the post workout carbs. If not fruit perhaps some High Branched Cyclic Dextrins, price is right over at Truenutrition at about $11 per lb.
Great stuff buddy. I was coming to the conclusion through experimentation that the anabolic window isn't as critical if pre and intra nutrition is on point.
I really hate carbs pre intra post and feel like a bloated mess tbh.
I hate fasted training but have moved away from foods pre wo and have gone to hbcd's karbolyn and even powerade for my carbs pre wo and intra (obviously). The shake pre is still weighing me down as it's usually only 30 mins before so I was thinking of switching to bcaas pre and intra , no shake.
Thoughts?
Also what do you think of my plan to slowly add carbs back in and start cycling? Or do I just jump straight to my higher levels.
I was thinking
2 hi 200-250g
1 med 150-175g
4 low 100-125g
I'm just unsure how to transition.
I will be picking up HBCD along with my whey from TN here in a week or so!
Sorry for all the questions just trying to learn and hopefully help others who may have the sane ?s
I train "fasted" on 6 grams Modern BCAA pre & 8-10 Intra in a half gallon of sugar free coolaid mix. Works great, never run out of steam and lately with the carbs late in the evening, I get even better pumps in the morning same as I do when I eat moderate carbs a couple hours before training. So you are grouping your high and mediums together or are those just the numbers per week? A nice rotation using basically these numbers is High/medium/low/low repeat. I think since you have been low carbing it just go right into the cycling with your first high day, and start with the higher numbers so you have more room for adjustment.
Dannybeezy I got a new toy. Traditions ultralight muzzleloader. I need sausage and jerky lmao.
Sounds good I'll do that. High/medium/low low repeat sounds perfect. I'll do that for sure.
Obviously have to adjust fats individually for those days right? Fat never changed with my old coach always statues the sane no matter where carbs were at.
So, family dinner tonight for my grandpas 85th.. Diet... Yeah.... I'm drinking whiskey. Don't worry I'm not on methyls :-D
Dannybeezy I got a new toy. Traditions ultralight muzzleloader. I need sausage and jerky lmao.
I'll get back to you. I had the guy at the shop set me up.Hell yeah! I bought a TC impact and put a nikon pro staff on it a couple weeks ago. What kind of powder are u running through it?
Hey I wouldn't sweat the alcohol too much especially straight whiskey or with a calorie free drink. Check this out for a good read. Invalid Link Removed
No once you start the carb cycling you would leave the protein and fats static. High protein, 70-75g fats and just cycle the carbs.
