  1. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    So I fast from 8:30 at night til 12:30 the next day. I normally train from about 11:30-12:15, so my first meal of the day is around 12:30-12:45. I'm wondering when the best time to consume the majority of my fats for the day is. I LOVE natty PB. I could sit and eat an entire jar with a...
  2. Which PH causes the least amount of shutdown?

    What is a good pct for epistane or hdrol? Ive never been able to keep from gaining fat and losing muscle gained during pct.
  3. Which PH causes the least amount of shutdown?

    Looking to take something during the winter that causes the least amount of shutdown. Or something I can take along with a PH to minimize the effect, like an AI. Suggestions?

    I definitely know I'm overthinking it, as I do with a lot of things. I'm just trying to figure out where I'm going wrong if so many people are seeing such drastic results so quickly, and I've yet to see a noticeable difference in fatloss, when I know for sure I'm not eating too much. I follow...

    Also, if I'm doing lean gains, and fasting for 15-16 hours, is there a reason I should avoid a high number of high-gi carbs in my first meal, beginning 30 min after my workout? I feel like the same principle of CBL would apply, in that you're replenishing glycogen, the glut4 response, etc...

    So last night (my off day) I did 4 sets each of 60 jump ropes/15 rep bodyweight squats/sets of 15 db curls with 35's - done back to back with a short rest between each set (60 seconds or so). Would this be enough to justify the CBL meal? My first meal of the day was 2 hamburger patties w/...
  7. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    I guess I'm confused on this part. Are you referring only to off days here? Because at the moment, I am eating carbs in my first meal after my 11am workout - so 30 minutes after I'm done working out. I've been eating both high and low GI carbs in this meal. With the "high GI in the evening"...

    Is something like Pslin recommended for Lean Gains?
  9. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    MrKleen - After reading a little bit on the CBL, I have a few questions regarding lean gains, timing and off days. So, I'm limited to working out around 11am (worst time according to CBL). Would it be best to consume a bunch of high GI or low GI carbs in my first meal around 12:30? Should I...

    Well I don't drink Monsters regularly or anything. Maybe once/twice a month now. Mostly during road trips. I also only have about a cup and a half of coffee/day. When you say cycle, do you mean forgo ALL caffeine: tea, coffee etc as well?

    Is that something like Pslin?
  12. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    Got it, thanks! I've only been mixing about 1/3 scoop of alphamine and 3/4 scoop of Jack3d. Stims tend not to affect me all that much. I can fall asleep halfway through a Monster haha. I only drink coffee in the morning b/c I've grown to like the taste and because it's hot. The heat wakes...

    Thanks! 2 questions: What is GDA? Do I need to be mindful of fat consumption in my first meal after workout? I had always read that fats should be kept to little to none in your pwo meal. I like to have a little bit of natty pb with a banana as my "dessert" in my first meal. I love me some PB!

    Are Jack3d and Alphamine ok to use during fast before workout? I workout around 11am and eat my first meal around 12:30.
  15. Question for those with experience with 5/3/1

    Are you talking about the 2nd ed or the "Beyond 5/3/1?"
  16. Question for those with experience with 5/3/1

    Where did you get the new 5/3/1? I was wondering if trying a 5x5 for assistance work after the main lift would be good for strength. So on bench day, do incline db for 5x5 or upright rows for 5x5 on OH press day.

    Updates? Do you think running some HCGenerate would keep the nuts at full size and/or affect the cycle in any way?
  18. Question for those with experience with 5/3/1

    Yea, that's the calculation I was using. I guess I'll try a 3RM maybe during my deload week to adjust my percentages.
  19. Question for those with experience with 5/3/1

    So I started 5/3/1 for the second time this week. (Completed 4-5 cycles about 2 years ago) My question is, on your final sets, how many reps are you guys getting? For bench on the 5 and 3 rep workouts, I did 12-13 reps. Isn't this a little high, being that this is supposed to be a...

    That's fine. I grab lunch on my way back to the office from the gym anyway. I have 13-14 hours of fasting done by the time I would drink this. That's enough for gradual fat loss huh? Normally I would agree with you on the waste of $$ as I would definitely rather just eat, but I made a custom...
