I'd keep them high bro. You're looking to put on size with superdrol so use it. If you gain some fat cut it later but use the superdrol is my opinion. You're looking lean as is so I'd keep them high and do weekly/biweekly pics and fat gain to weight gain assessments. Just my input

I definitely appreciate your input, man. Seems like the consensus from everyone I've asked is to keep my carbs high for now. I'm gonna be talking to my boss sometime this week and putting a diet together and discussing drugs in further detail. He's looking ridiculous, I'll see if I can find a good pic of him to post.

One of my bigger, more serious customers is creeping up to 10 meals per day (currently at 9). He's actually increased carbs & decreased protein portion as he adds a meal each time. Dude is a genetic freak, 5'9 & about 270lb hard...and gaining nothing but lean muscle with increased vascularity each month via increased training intensity & dietary tweaking. He trains daily, has increased his cardio recently & says that alone has helped increase his size through improved circulation & oxygenation. No jab either, just some well planned oral cycles & Dermatrest. I think you guys might see him in the US next year, if not before.
His metabolism is insane now, it was sluggish when I first started working with him, but the 10+ meal plan & carb count comes from the pro's he knows - that was new to me & kinda goes against all I know so it's been good to learn. He doesn't bother with macros, just rough weights of food types & loves his sweet potato & white rice. Lots of sweet potato & rice! Oh, and now he can't stomach fast food, his cheat meal has evolved into relatively healthy mass of bacon & eggs, or chinese buffet binges (him & his mates have been banned from one restaurant, driven out by a furious owner as they demolished all in sight) :lol:
Point being if your body is using it, then add more. If it shows negatively then back off a bit.

Just a little post cardio posing. Cropped my face out because I was making some really dumb faces. Also was cramping up like crazy while trying to flex. I'm probably dehydrated not to mention I haven't eaten in 16 hours so I've got zero nutrients in my system right now.

Carbs are good but you need to try and select some better sources than a bunch of oreos brother. They are okay here and there but if you are having an issue getting in your food get yourself some hbcd, or even rice powder. Add to your drinks you wont be as full but still getting starch and not sugars. Not saying there is a such thing as dirty food but better quality and less processed. If you are focusing on growth right now then feed the machine but remember a sports car runs better on high octane than regular fuel. If you want to be a Bugatti running around with an engine knock then put the wrong fuels in. If you want to be a Bugatti that growls and performs at its best give it better fuel. You can find lots of bulk powder foods at musclefeast for pretty good prices. Then there is also raw dynamics.
This...
You never know you may have done better than you think. Stress and high stims can make a challenging test feel like a failure. Add to that what a lack of sleep does to someones memory. You might do better to cram less the night before. Just move the schedule up a few days on your cram session next time.

I get my carbs almost entirely from rice, pasta, and oats. The cookies and ice cream are just stuff to splurge on every once in a while. Which is why I haven't even opened the packages of cookies yet since I got them almost two weeks ago and the ice cream I have once every couple days or so.
I was studying over a week in advance but I'm just going to have to start reviewing the material even more starting now.

Yeah I remember you tend to eat pretty good. Just mentioning it would be better as an every once in a while thing. Then again you have a fast metabolism so you can rock it out with more of the fun stuff more frequently than I can.
Yeah I know you crammed all week. I mean starting it a day or two earlier than that even and then actually resting up before the test. A rested mind performs much better.

Short and sweet lower body power today, I think since I DESTROYED upper body last night, and then couldn't fall asleep till 2am (thanks trensomnia), and then finally got some sleep, that my body is probably fatigued and I wasn't 100% for today's workout. So I kept it short and intense.

Yes sir. I plan on getting some spinach and kale today, along with my regular chicken, pasta, avocados, eggs etc.
Any suggestions on things I should consider picking up?
MrKleen73
Legend
If you are not heavy into greens I would go with baby kale and not the full grown, although you can make some nice kale chips with the big stuff but the baby kale is better tasting in my opinion. Also the best thing and what I do regularly is put like 2 cups of baby spinach in my smoothies / shakes. It turns it all green but there really is no difference in the taste. So if not a big fan of green veggies that is the best option in my opinion.
Also Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother in it is great for that as well. Just shoot 2 tablespoons down. Yes gross but very effective. I normally mix that with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or juice from 1 fresh lemon in the morning. It helps detox and alkalize. The only time you don't want to alkalize is just before a workout. You want the body to become acidic during the training because that is what causes the hormonal cascade of anabolism. So once that is kicked off during the workout you alkalize after.
I wouldn't do the lemon juice right after lifting though, it also releases toxins from cells to be excreted which is great but not when your body is in full recovery mode.
Some of my favorite green veggie concoctions are grilled or sauteed asparagus with chopped garlic cloves and maybe some cherry tomoatoes. If you are holding any water that will pull it right off of you. Other than that roasted broccoli dipped in hummus is awesome! Same with roasted Brussels sprouts, put a little olive oil or coconut oil on them pop them in the oven about 25 minutes or until they are done to your liking. I prefer to leave some crispness to my harder veggies like broccoli or Brussels sprouts. I hated sprouts when i was young but found out I liked them roasted as an adult.

I'd look into taking a product with such high anti-oxidants at another time and NOT peri-workout. I've seen a TON of studies looking at the effects of how antioxidants impede the benefits of exercise itself as they block chemical reactions (oxidation) by the free radicals that cause tissue damage.
I've seen some research against and in support OF a higher dose of anti-oxidants peri-workout and honestly, some research shows its negative effects and others haven't found THAT much of a difference.
Does physical exercise modify antioxidant requirements?
Physical training is known to induce a biochemical adaptive response which might require an increase in the ingestion and/or the absorption of micronutrients. A question that is still being raised is whether acute or chronic exercise modifies antioxidant requirements. First, the present review brings to light the most crucial studies on the topic. Second, it interprets the established relationships between antioxidant micronutrient intakes and the adaptive response of antioxidant systems. Finally, it exposes the major questions connected with antioxidant micronutrient requirements for athletes. To this effect, the training-load interaction with nutrition is taken into account. As oxidative stress cannot be avoided, the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants can be alleviated to minimise oxidative damage and outcomes. There is growing evidence that one specific antioxidant cannot by itself prevent oxidative stress-induced damage, as direct adverse effects of supplementation are attributed to undesirable synergic effects. Other effects can be supposed that limit the endogenous adaptive effect of training. High doses of antioxidant supplements can minimise the effects of radical oxygen species themselves or generate pro-oxidant effects. Effects are only exhibited when nutritional status is deficient. There are no convincing effects of supplementation in well-trained athletes. Risk/benefit analysis emerges on evidence for an unknown risk of supranutritional intakes, a supposed impairment of adaptive effects and a still unknown long-term risk. Appropriate status can be achieved by a diversified and balanced diet, adapted to specific needs, by awareness of high-density food intakes (avoiding products containing a low density of micronutrients).
Oxidative stress, exercise, and antioxidant supplementation.
Cells continuously produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of metabolic processes. These free radicals are neutralized by an elaborate antioxidant defense system consisting of enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and numerous non-enzymatic antioxidants, including vitamins A, E and C, glutathione, ubiquinone, and flavonoids. Exercise can produce an imbalance between ROS and antioxidants, which is referred to as oxidative stress. Dietary antioxidant supplements are marketed to and used by athletes as a means to counteract the oxidative stress of exercise. Whether strenuous exercise does, in fact, increase the need for additional antioxidants in the diet is not clear. This review examines the markers used to determine oxidative stress in blood and muscle samples (e.g. lipid peroxidation, expired pentane, malondialdehyde (MDA), F2-isoprostanes, congugated dienes, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG)), the changes in oxidative stress markers induced by exercise, and whether athletes require antioxidant supplements.
Some things to note about these studies:
-the amount of vitamin C used in this study is 20 times the recommended amount and the amount of vitamin E is 10 times what is recommended.
-if you supplement excessively, and you’re concerned about insulin sensitivity, I’d look into stopping excessive anti-oxidant intake
HONESTLY, the difference can be minor or major OR not at all! The point is, from a basic understanding of oxidative stress standpoint, it makes sense…at the same time, its all application at the end of the day and how your body responds.
Just something to think about

Just gave SNS 500mg Phenibut caps a crack after some tips in a sleep aid thread. Tried 1000mg a night - not bad. 2nd night 1500mg & slept like a baby, woke ready to rock & roll, no drowsiness. 3rd night - 2000mg - no apparent benefit over 1500mg. 4th night - went back to trusty old valerian + melatonin (2.5mg, should have dropped 5mg) & not as good as the phenibut, woke a little drowsy & not as sharp as the use of phenibut.

I actually have a sample pack of SNS Phenibut! Also a tub of GABA powder from bodybuilding .com that I'm just now remembering that I have. Got plenty of melatonin. Benadryl too but that doesn't seem to work for me really.
Oh and a friend gave me a couple ambien that I only plan on using if I absolutely cannot fall asleep.

I am extremely interested in trying Phenibut. Tried GABA back in the day. I have been using valerian root, melatonin, and a low dose of 5htp lately. I don't always dose the melatonin, but when I do I wake up drowsy for well over an hour. It takes my stim stack a bit to do the work. Any tips from fellow insomniacs?
And lol'd at Ambien. Got a sample a few years ago. I'm sure you're well aware of the effects, but it is not something to take lightly. Took me by surprise to say the least. It definitely works as described.
