It's great for a change up. The bags have anywhere from 70-90g of carbs depending on which bag you get. The cilantro and lime is good too, so is the garlic whole grain mix, it has quinoa in it too.
Thanks. I saw it. I'm not nearly as committed as you guys, so I'll consider it, but unlikely I'll accomplish much.
Got ya, I have actually had a hard time remaining committed which is why I decided to create the thread. It is far easier to stick to it with something like this going on for me.
Gotcha. Make sense. Well, not sure what I did wrong yesterday, but still been up since 4:30 and hit with the PEM feeling even though kcal/carbs were in the right place and avoided known triggers. Going to bench through it though

Do you prescribe to the low fat pre workout then? Looks like you do. I found a little fat in my preworkout meal to help keep me from going hypo during training but this is also when I am not using intra carbs. With the intra carbs, I am sure there is no benefit of a little fat since I am driving carbs into my system the whole time.
So for morning training, you might only get 20g protein?
It never occurred to me that the PEM might have been from DL 2 days prior. It used to only last 24 hours, so I just assumed. But I think your right. Guess i need to dial it back more. Ugh.
The Cable press is going to be a little less intensive on triceps in my opinion. So if you feel your triceps are not getting what they need you can do that for sure. I forgot if you train at home or a gym but a good hammer Strength Style incline would be a great replacement for a little more drive in the triceps. You could also just add some cell swelling work to the end of another session. Just pick a weight and push for 100 continuous reps even if you have to go into partial to finish them. The weight is so light there really isn't muscular damage to speak of, just a lot of metabolic hypertrophy signalling, and cell swelling that stimulates hypertrophy as well. Another option is replace the Double Rope Press down with CG bench, JM Press or the like.
Well, I wanted to keep the incline cable press to focus on that inner middle chest area. But maybe I should just add another tri exercise to a different day. I do CG Bench on Monday already, but I have considered moving it to after standing press, and doing something different on DL day. I don't know. For so many years, I was all "compounds only!!!@#", and now, well, I'm not
but that feeling lingers.
What do you mean by recovery is insane? And not convinced what make your stronger?
Thanks, I'll look into the hammer Strength incline press. I'm not sure my gym has that. But i workout both at home and the gym.
I don't get doms or fatigue from machines or cables. I can get a hella good pump from some tricep rope push downs etc and I enjoy them but in a few hours I'm recovered. I enjoy it but I think 99% of my strength gains come from the barbell and from rest. (or dumbbell).
Oh i gotcha, yeah same here. Well, kind of. I still get doms from almost everything, just not as much from cables
Dips are an amazing option!
There is a difference between systemic fatigue caused by a squat, DL or Pull up that can hit you for a couple of days as mentioned, and doing something that is far less systemically fatiguing. This does not actually mean that it is not stimulating the muscle as successfully. Also you might find that while a 20 rep set of leg press didn't make you sore 3-5 heavier harder sets of 10 might get you there. Load has more of a chance of doing muscular damage that needs repair.
I barely get DOMS now, if I do it is almost always gone by the end of the following day. Typically for a new movement, or newly rotated back in movement. My body just got very efficient at clearing the metabolic factors that cause it to stick around over the 38 years I have been lifting. My adductors are something this still happens with but to be fair I never did direct adductor training until recently so that particular muscle has not been exposed to that stuff enough to be efficient at removing it yet.
Just ordered some of this, but the nonfortified type. How much do you use per day?
Looks like he does 3g, or at least recommends 3 grams a day from the post.

No problem at all, the people I trust with this stuff like EliteFTS guys say RPE8 is 2-4 reps left in the tank. So that is what I go by. For a long time I treated them as the same too. Honestly though you can find charts that say it is 2 reps as well. Either way if you are getting within 2-4 reps within failing you are providing a good stimulus to the muscles. As long as increasing the intensity or volume you are going to make good progress.
Oh, good to know! Thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate that. I'm going to keep driving on!
Glad to see you went!! Nice overhead work!!
That doesn't happen to me all that often, but it is such a let down when I feel like I am going to have a hell of a workout due to how I feel then as soon as I start training I feel weak and can't get much going at all. It's like I peaked for the workout before I got started and was already on the downside of training when I started.
Weight: 223Weight: 219.4
Close Grip Bench 4 x 7, 7, 6, 6 x 165
Deadlift 1's Week 1x295, 1x335, 3x375

Plank 1 x 30 seconds
20 minute walk, 3mph at 5.0 incline.
Definitely could've hit 4 or maybe even 5 on that DL amrap, but did the right thing and held back. Didn't feel right though
Just out of curiosity, have you ever tried a white noise machine at night?
Mine can be similar, I wake up at least twice a night. I pretty much get 5-6 hours a night, but I don't worry myself over it because I feel and operate fine. I normally get in about 8 and very occasionally 10 on the weekends.
I use a fan on high for my white noise. I need the sound, and the air flowing on my face to sleep well and even take a small clip-on fan with me when traveling. That way I can clip it onto the nightstand or somewhere like that. I also sleep with a face mask on to keep any light from getting to my eyes. It definitely helps me.
That's what it started like for me. Then proceeded to my current mess, we'll the former mess.
My sleep has been this way for as long as I can remember. At a minimum probably since I was about 35. I am only waking up to pee not waking up for other reasons though.That's what it started like for me. Then proceeded to my current mess, we'll the former mess.
Glad to report barely ANY PEM today! Super light fatigue only. Feels good
Gotcha. I think I've woken up my whole life to pee at 1am or something, but the rest of the nonsense started at age 35 also, or close to it.
