That's awsome man keep u the good work...
Maybe try a GDA the next time u eat carbs
Actually I am using one, and have been for the past year or so, so I'm good to go there. Even with a GDA, you can still get the bloat from taking in too many, which on occasion will still happen
With how lean he is, I'd imagine he needs the carbs to fuel the beast cardio workouts.
It's always better to feed a little more and workout longer than stay in caloric deficit and not be able to push things. Add fuel and make that fire bigger.
I'm sure his carbs are med to low glycemic foods that do a good job replacing glcogen stores.
If the guy had any fat on him, maybe he could skip the carbs altogether. Def not the case with Rick.
I still love carbs just like the next day (at least on my workout days). My plan is low to no carb on cardio/rest days and moderate to moderately high carb on workout days, so I'm constantly getting the glycogen depleted and then filling back up again. It also explains why my weight can fluctuate as much as 3-4 lbs between cardio days and workout days
Thank you Jeff!!
Thanks Scotty!!
Wow nice job bro, PRs all over the place!
Thanks bro! Still killing it daily!
In to see how night time dose goes
For you
It was a good recommendation. I will have details in my update
Great to hear that you're still looking even more vascular and leaner. Keep up the great work. I was asked to PM you, so I'll be getting with you, soon. It's a good thing.
Thanks man. Yeh, its crazy how well things are going. Ive NEVER been this lean, never been this strong, and never been this big. I am literally getting the best of both worlds right now and at the top of MY world right now :sgrin:
I'm definitely interested in whatever the PM will be about. You have my attention my good friend!....and a good thing you say?! :woohoo:
Ok....today is a normal cardio day/burn day for me.
I hit the treadmill for about 70 total minutes this morning. I must say that my cardiovascular endurance is absolutely insane right now. I started out running at 8 MPH and I never felt like slowing down and felt like I coupld go forever, so I just kept it going for over 30 minutes and I know I could have probably done the whole time at 8.5 MPH if I wanted to push it. I never felt gassed or winded or anything. This is the best cardiovascular shape I have been in for my entire life.....including high school!! (which was 20 years ago) After the running, I spent the next 40 minutes or so doing incline treadmill walking (10% @ 3.5 MPH). My total burn for the session was 1100 cals
This morning i weighed in at 166 and looking just crazy ripped. I am in awe at how well things are going. I'm leaning out continuosly and steadily while setting PRs in the gym. My chest looks to be filling out a little more and my arms are looking a little bigger also. I have veins coming in all over the place, and my performance strength wise is the best it has ever been. I have been killing it in the gym every day, and it has been paying off...the results speak for themselves!
I dont know how much Agmatine has a hand in things, but I have seen a big increase in strength ever since it was added in. I was under the impression it was more of a supplement for pumps and what not (mostly preworkout benefits), but I think there is more to it. It has definitely exceeded my expectations and has me sold as a great addition and it has other benefits as well. Which brings me to my next point....SLEEP! After the recommendation from StopStalking, I tried dosing Agmatine before bed. I did 500mg (2 caps), I can honestly tell you that I slept much deeper, much better, and I woke up feeling very refreshed and very well rested. I honestly didnt expect much out of it, but it really surprised me at how well it worked for that. I dont know why it worked, but it did!
Ive been doing some more reading lately on raspberry ketones, and they are really starting to come forth as a tried and true supplemet for fat loss. There is quite a bit of research out there on it, and a lot of health benefits as well from them. I know for a fact that they have helped me get leaner, and I think they are something that easily become a daily staple just like a GDA. kit works great because the dosing on it pretty much has you taking it the same time as your GDA/nutrient partitioner (30 minutes before meals) so taking it is easy and convenient!
