Carb loading question

Sorry work got busy and I didn't get a picture of meal 2, it was 3 servings of pasta made into a pasta salad with peas onions Greek yogurt and some seasoning.

I'm gonna prepare meal 3 in a few minutes. Doing a giant buffalo chicken Rahman bowl.

Haven't decided on meal 4

Meal 5 I'm making pizzas with my kids. Il do some assessments after meals 3,4 and 5. Total up what I've ate and whatever I need left to hit 1000 will be in meal 6
 
Also between meals three and four I'm going to hit the gym any suggestions on what type of workout I should do and whether or not I should have extra workout cards in the form of dextrose. I'm starting an actual diet and new training program Monday or Tuesday so I'm not too concerned with the type of workout I do today any suggestions are good. Do I do a couple big lifts or do I try to get a crazy pump with all these carbs
 
Here's another 165gm carbs

So at this point I'm about half way, I have a headache, like pressure in my head lol, also I'm also noticing I'm more vascular without doing any actual work or exerting much energy. I don't think it's sodium at this point cus I really haven't consumed any more then I usually would in a day, any ideas on that??? Getting ready to hit the gym in about 45min
 
Non related question. Just pinned 25mg test in right delt with a slinpin. My delt spasmed on the way in, I kept going and pinned. No blood but on the way out spasms again and got a weird taste in my mouth.


No pip or blood and everything seems fine, did I go in and out of a nerve lol????

You probably hit a blood vessel. If you’ve ever gotten IV meds, sometimes you can actually taste and smell the meds when they’re injected.

I have had that before, but never the weird spasms. If I didn't get the spasms the vein or blood vessels would have been first guess
 
If I concentrate too hard on injecting delts, I get minor spasms. No other site though. For me, I just chalk it up to anxiety and tension.
 
From what I’ve read, hitting a nerve is pretty hard to mistake. You either get a lot of pain or a feeling of numbness.

Idk, it's a frequent pain free spot for me. I always get a little anxiety. What I found weird was ho it did it on the way in, then stopped, then did it again when I pulled out. Weird. Either way, no biggie. At the gym now and it feels fine
 
Gyms done, had 60gm carbs intra, good pump. I missed a important part of the day tho and it just hit me I forgot to take pics after every meal. Not much changed in appearance tho, more vascularity and pumped looking in my arms and shoulders, stomach is a little bloated as expected. Its where I carry the most bodyfat so I knew that would be first to go. AnY way, gotta hit my 1000 and my bow already excepted defeat as he can tell I'm not stopping lol, this should put me pretty close to the goal.

Gonna do the left half of that pizza and a quarter of this pie
 
Another 155gm of carbs down. Not sure where my total is at I gotta add **** up but I think I'm getting close. Should be about 700
 
Up next is a flatbread pizza roll up thingy and 4 servings of spaghettios with meatballs, gotta be honest, I'm not that hungry right now

Would it be wise to maybe fast tomorrow or only eat when hungry. This is getting a bit rediculous cus I picked some pretty high calorie foods lol
 
So I won't be doing this stupidity again, aside from the fact it's 2am and I'm wide awake, I have horrible gas, slight stomach pains and headache. I gained 7.8lbs over the course of the day and I feel like I might be a little dehydrated.

What did I learn from this, nothing important.

500gm of carbs and up I just got bloated and gassy.

Monday when Im back to a structured meal plan I will be carb cycling and at least I know I don't ever need more then 500 carbs, I will probably make 400 my high day, 50-100 on rest days and normal days somewhere in the middle. Tomorrow I'm just going to eat light and get hydrated and hopefully this crappy feeling will pass.

To hit my numbers I just randomly ate my kids snacks to put me at a total of 1000gm of carbs plus whatever extra carbs were in the condiments that I didn't count. Calories were just over 6000 and I have no clue how much protein or fat I consumed.

Would not recommend
 
Also I have a tight neck and a little pain there, hopefully I just tweaked it and it's not related to the weird spasms I got from my injection today
 
Soooooo, now I'm really confused.

Just woke up and stepped on the scale, not only did the 7lbs I gained yesterday magically vanish, I'm 1.2 lbs lighter then yesterday morning. That means I lost 9lbs in 12 hrs.

And I am 100% positive the numbers are right and my scale is not broken.

Can anyone explain that....
 
I’m guessing severe dehydration. Did you sweat during the night? Pee or poop?

I’d recommend start getting fluids in you and keep it going during the day.

I did feel dehydrated yesterday by the end of the day, I sweat a little last night but no more then usual. And I had woken up 2-3 times to pee but have not pooped since when I weighed myself last night, I did after this morning weigh in and lost another 0.6lbs lol. There was about 11-12 hours between weigh ins. This dose happen to me the day after a big cheat meal too. But not this dramatically and I ate double my normal calories yesterday. ****, I ate 4000cal in carbs alone and that's 1000 more then my normal daily calories.

Doesn't make any sense to me 🤔

Last night my stomach was very bloated and distended looking and even that's about 90% gone

The bodies ability to change and adapt metabolically can be quite an amazing thing at times. You probably lost a lot through fluid release and CO2 as your metabolism probably went into high gear. Also remember just breaking down that much food requires a lot of energy as well.

Good points, I didn't even think about how much work was probably involved in digesting all that garbage
 
Still pretty vascular today, I'm hopping that sticks around for the day as I'm on my way to a cookout. Happy 4th

Nice man! Who knows what this week will bring you. Wondering what you will look like next week if you consistently hit the gym this week. My guess is you’ll be a tad more vascular and pumped than last week?

I have no clue, if I depleted all week again and repeated the process "which I'm definitely not doing" then possibly?

I'm going back into a slight deficit tomorrow and carb cycling, lifting 4 days a week and boxing 3 days a week so I will be burning calories like no1s business. As the weeks go on I will shift to 3 days lifting and 4 days boxing and then 2 days lifting full body and 5 days boxing.

I'm doing a exhibition fight in about 12 weeks or so and I need to weigh 178lbs for that.

Then Im going straight into a bulk
 
I'm hoping the increases in boxing and cardio each week will let me not have to keep cutting calories

@Iwilleattuna , @Mathb33

You guys got any clue?

I've seen this happen a few times. A few things, but you carbed up perfectly, bro. This is how you want the outcome to be IMO.
Less protein in your stomach which can take up a lot of space hence why your stomach is leaner
The small reduction in water, but I doubt it
Your metabolism increased dramatically throughout the day
You used the carbs and you trained harder without even knowing
Cortisol reduction

Nice work , dude
 
Just realized the meals you posted after I said you “carbed up perfectly” lmao . If it worked it worked , though but you went crazy lol . Can’t believe you lost weight after that

I didn't respond because I couldn't tell If you were being serious or sarcastic lol
 
Didn't follow any diet model yesterday, ate randomly at cookouts, burgers, ribs and pasta salads, had a coke and had a couple grilled chicken wraps for dinner and woke up another lb lighter lol.

Tomorrow I'm going back to my 3000 calories per day average but will be implementing carb cycling and higher and lower calorie days. At the end of the week il weigh in and make caloric adjustments. My thought is do drop about a 100 calories per week for 5 weeks and that is about the time I will be adding a extra boxing day so from week 5-12 I'm hopping to increase my cardio and boxing steadily while not going below 2500 cals to reach my end goal. I'm thinking if I get to 185 I should hold steady at that weight and drop the last 7lbs from water a few days out. This was my regular process back when I was fighting about....... 16 years ago was The last time I had a fight and did a cut like this so should be interesting to see how different it is at 36 vs 20
