Nothing that we didn't know already (based off studies), just thought it was interesting as Meadows said what he thought.

Honestly I don't really see much in that abstract to make you think you'll lose muscle


Maybe I am skipping something. But hard to extrapolate from an abstract

Ya I feel ya. I've tried IF'ing and working out fasted and not a fan. Only time I'll do it is if I absolutely have to.
 

Yea man I love intra carbs but I feel gross on them later in the day

I like the back loading but I eat legit 350 carbs at night before bed maybe I'll go back to intra and post carbs

I duno. But no good with Arachidonic acid

Always considered trying carb backloading but never have. Find it very effective?
 
One thing that I've stuck with since my last comp (and didn't do during last prep) is not making diet related adjustments (macros, meal timing, etc.) just for the sake of supplementation (ex. training fasted/skipping intra nutrition to get optimal benefits from pre-workout yohimbe/yohimbine hcl products). I still love supplements, but don't plan on sacrificing my nutrition plan (especially peri-workout) to accommodate their use at specific times. My training and results have been as good, if not better than ever.

I see you guys using it a lot but what's peri-workout?? I'm well aware of pre,intra,and post. Is there some magic time to eat called peri lol??

It's all 3 combined (pre, intra, post).

Edit: The importance/benefit (and what's "needed") of each aspect can vary, depending on one's training. I definitely wouldn't recommend that everyone go out and spend money on everything that I use intra. If looking for something intra, BCAA and EAA are solid options in most cases. Gatorade for long training sessions as well.

Great feedback breezy! I'm glad to hear your having great results form a body comp standpoint without sacrificing workout fuel. Are you still doing Y products in the morning without carbs for a little A-2 antagonism in your day?

Also: I stuck a barbell in the corner of my basement last night and did 1 arm BB rows. I can't describe how much better, and smoother the contraction was! I loved it :)

Thanks man. I recently finished a TEST Powder run and am not using anything besides staples currently. I usually train in the morning and have my pre-workout meal a few minutes after waking up, so there is no time for morning yohimbe on most days. I won't be using any fat burners until later in prep and will dose them wherever they fit best in my day.

Good to hear, Mikey.


Quick update: It's been a rough couple days (non-training related) and I probably won't be on AM as much this week. I'm a couple days into a new program, which is going great. I won't be able to post entire sessions, but will try to have some videos and feedback.

Take care of things brother, and hopefully everything is ok on your end.
 
Prayers bro.
 
Thanks everyone. It's much appreciated. Unfortunately, my father passed away this afternoon, after a tough battle with cancer. I'll be spending a few days with family and will check on AM when I get the chance.
 
Wow man, so sorry to hear that. We'll be thinking and praying for you and your family.

Here are some recent interviews discussing nutrition/peri-workout nutrition (more in depth in podcast), training during prep (how mine is set up)/training in general, and other interesting topics.

No problem Dan. Let me know if you have any more questions.
 
Here are a couple exercises from recent sessions. The Slight Incline (25lb plates) Reverse Band Bench was the final set of 5x5 @275 from a heavy chest/shoulder day and Pec Minor Dips were the first part of a superset with Band Over and Backs on a pumping chest/shoulder day.

Thanks for the links Breezy!

You're welcome Jiigzz.


I trained arms, calves, and abs this morning. It was somewhat fun, considering arm and ab work are my least favorite (love training everything else). Tricep and bicep exercises were supersetted (3 different supersets for 4 rounds each) and each had 2-4 drops on the final set.

I'll try provide more detail on my diet throughout prep in place of training sessions. I'm currently being flooded with all kinds of food that doesn't fit in my diet, but am doing well sticking to the plan. There are definitely plenty of "cheat" options available, when needed.
 
Here are a couple meals from today.

Meal 3
Invalid Link Removed
Invalid Link Removed
Invalid Link Removed
4oz organic grass fed beef, 1 cup organic jasmine rice, 1 cup broccoli, diced onion (split 100g between multiple meals), 2tsp sriracha

This meal followed my post-workout meal. That rice is delicious and very convenient. It steams perfectly in the microwave, as shown on the box. :)



Meal 4
Invalid Link Removed
1 cup egg whites, 2 organic free range omega eggs, 1 cup fresh baby spinach, 1tbsp virgin coconut oil (cooked everything in it), South African Smoke seasoning

This meal would include either 2 slices of Ezekiel bread (make a sandwich), 1/2 cup gf oats, or 1/4 cup cream of rice on heavier (most) training days.



Any carbs come from greens in the meals that follow. When my carbs (calories) need adjusting, the carbs from meal 4 (didn't have any today) will be lowered and eventually removed (meal furthest from training). The next adjustment would be to the rice in meal 3. Peri-workout carbs will most likely remain (amount may change) throughout prep. There could be some minor pro/fat adjustments as I go as well. I'll try to get pics of the rest of my meals sometime within the next week.

That sounds great Breezy. Hope you are doing alright.

Thanks man. I'm doing alright. There's a lot of stuff to keep me very busy for the next few days.

I'm a big fan of Ezekiel bread myself. Just found out the other day they make tons of stuff. Ezekiel pasta , tortilla wraps , hot and cold cereals. Picked up the pasta to try. I'll try most of it eventually I'd say. But if ur interested and wasn't aware like myself hopefully this will help. I get tired of eating the same exact bread so I try to change it up with some other meal friendly options.

Thanks man. Yeah, Food for Life makes a lot of different products. I think I have some of their tortillas in my freezer that I'd forgotten about. I actually haven't had Ezekiel bread in about a year, but decided to pick some up.
 
Your food always looks great.

Quick question regarding rice. Do you prefer Jasmine to Basmati? I have not had either (usually just brown) but am planning on buying either Jasmine or Basmati.
