Morning weigh in results

I weighed in at 180 this morning. I think alot of this is water weight as im really thirsty right now. I think this recomp has turned more into a continuation of my previous cut. I seriously under estimated my caloric needs while running the exo burn stack. I may up my calories to 3800 later on this week.

Morning weigh in results.

Yesterday wasn't just a fluke. Today i weighed in at 180.4 pounds. This puts me about 5 pounds down from the beginning of this log. Body fat scale says body fat percentage down, indicating fat loss. I weigh myself at the say time and under the same conditions. This should be giving us a bit of insight as to where the weight loss is coming from. So that's 4-5 pounds lost over less than 5 weeks. Friday will be five week and i will do another weigh in then.

A pound a week is ideal. Most efficient way to keep strength and muscle mass.

I was feeling bloated today. I think i over did my backload yesterday even though i kept my cals in check. Today im going low carb even though now i look normal again. Had a great workout as is the usual when using an epi product. No matter how tired i am, when i take epi, i always get a pump. Think that's where epicatien really helps, when you're pushing the limits.

Any news on the new follidrone? That's probably the supplement im looking forward to most in the new year.
I haven't heard anything new so I'm assuming the timeline remains the same. The pre ingredients are almost finalized and figure out flavoring, then release, then full production of the new (-)-Epi product. Brundel did mention that it would be released around a month after the pre, possibly. That's all I know at the moment. Hopefully we will have a nice surprise in store for Christmas and the new year!

Weigh in results. Weight holding steady at 180. Im going to try and bump cals up a bit and see if i can get things heading in the opposite direction. Id like to finish up this log one week from today at 182. Everything seems well, staying the course,will continue doing what's been working.

I had a great workout today. Im really glad my work week is over and i can finally relax. Its been a super taxing week and i need rest. Ill take a pic of some of my black friday purchases tomorrow for you guys to see. Ive already received most of the supplements for my next log. My next log is going to be a very lean bulk. My physique competitor friend says i look good but im almost too skinny. Its taken me alot of work to finally get the abs in and i definitely don't want to lose them when i start to add size. You never really think about it on the quest for leanness then once you do get lean, you want to be big and lean. Now the question is, how do i get big while staying lean? While it has taken me a good six months of staying very on top of my diet and watching my calories on the daily to ensure a cut physique, i need to flip the anabolic switch. I have a feeling this is going to be much harder than the initial leaning down process. I definitely,100 percent, do not want to gain fat while putting on size but i also don't want to remain the same. Its going to take careful planning and very slow calorie adjustment.

Anyways i bet you're all guessing what supplements i will be logging on my lean bulk. I told bps that i would log whatever they sent my way and ill stay true to my word on that. If however for whatever reason, i never receive anything from them, instead of the combustion that i asked for, i will be throwing two bottles of this into the mix

This morning i woke up and looked shredded. Im definitely doing carb backloading the right way this time around. Ive made many attempts at using the dietary protocol in the past but have always gotten a little fat in the process. This is because in the book he says slam carbs until you go to bed. This may work well for the average Joe but not for me. If i didn't have a fast metabolism before i started weight training, without a doubt, i would have been obese instead of skinny fat. When i was given the ability on the back loading diet to eat as much as i wanted, i did just that. My guess is that my backload days had me hovering around 7-8 thousand calories a day and i wasn't doing cardio. I can eat, i will eat until i feel sick, and then, i will eat more once the urge to throw up passes. So the, don't worry about tracking thing does not apply to me. With that being said though, i still seem to be able to enjoy a fair serving of carbs post training and still wake up ripped.
My yesterday macros
Protein 293
Fats 117
Carbs 322
And the day before
Protein 245
Fats 127
Carbs 386

Both days i have woken up looking ripped but today, i looked exceptionally peeled. So my take home from this is to try and keep my backloads between 300-350 grams carbs, keep protein at above 1.3 grams per pound of body weight and fill in the rest with fats. My weight today was 181. Carb backloading is a tool you can use to cut loose a little but don't abuse it or you will get fat.

It's a mental hurdle to add mass. Obviously there is a very slow methodical process to lean bulking. But if you are attempting to put on some size in a given time, i.e. a cycle/log, it will probably take more aggressive measures. Just know that the added mass at some point will make the abs pop out even better when you return to a tighter diet. The eb and flow of bodybuilding.

Interesting....I came off a cut about 4 weeks ago and this time tried carb back loading and I've managed to put on a little mass. Strength has increased a lot and not added any fat. All previous attempts resulted in adding a noticeable amount of fat.

Im going to be doing an 8 week log and pushing really hard. Im still deciding exactly where to set calories at. I'm thinking though, that if I'm still losing weight at 3600, i will probably push calories gladly up to 4000 at the beginning of the log and go from there. I guess if the log is an 8 week log, my goal will be to gain 4-5 pounds of mass. I know this doesn't sound like much, but if fat gain is kept to a minimum of a pound to one and a half pounds, i will be very happy. Im hoping the epic stack will help keep the weight gains clean.

I think that the carb backloading protocol is easily abused and taken advantage of. You still need to track and weigh your food like with any other diet if you want it to be effective. I re-read the entire book yesterday and this morning and though he says you don't need to track calories, he still gives charts with estimates. For my current weight his pre training calories have me set around 700. Ive been eating around 500 pre training so im not far off from this number. Based off the charts he has me consuming around 650 grams of carbs post training. I know that would be way too high for me, as when i pushed it into the 400's, i woke up feeling bloated. So with carb backloading like anything else, you need to tweak it to your body. I think if i was still around the 15 percent body fat range i could get away with 650 grams of carbs but at this point, 300-350 seems to be my maintenance sweet spot. I may push them up to 400 when i begin my lean bulk. It's always important to track and weigh all your food so you know exactly how its affecting you. Otherwise you're really just guessing and hoping for the best.

Frigging killed it today. I kinda went a bit over my suggested pre workout calories today. This was due to having the day off work and relaxing at home. So i had tons of energy today at the gym and felt great. Maybe i would benefit from boosting cals a bit during the day. I think starting next week i will eat the 720 pre workout calories suggested for my current weight. I'm going to cut my fasting down to a 16/8 as opposed to the 18/6 that's been my norm. Im doing this so the extra bit of daily cals doesn't make me feel bloated. Pre workout cals will consist of broccoli/vegetable medley and chicken breast. Net carbs will amount to less than 30 pre workout.

That was a good workout. I felt great. I have some extra ripe bananas at home to kick off the backload. Ive already calculated all my goodies for the night. Its going to be a good time. We'll see if im bloated in the morning or not.
Macros will be
432 grams carbs
272 grams protein
96 grams fat

The chances of bloat are high so ill have to do a weigh in tomorrow morning and we'll see if i have to scale things back a bit and boost the protein and drop the carbs back under 400.

I had consumed it all by 2 hours post workout. I think, and this is just bro science, getting the carbs in earlier on as opposed to later makes a difference. I finished gym at six and was done eating by 8. Got in, got out and cut off the pipeline. I think this is the way to do it for a recomp.

This has become my staple pre workout meal. If im lucky and have some extra time I'll start consuming it in two parts.

It works out to
133 grams protein
23 grams carbs with 11 being fibre
11 grams fat

715 calories. According to backloading book i want to have 720 calories pre workout for my body weight. Im following the book exactly minus my carb count which i have set to 300-400. If i go over 400 a bit well yesterday proved that to be a okay. Recomp back on track.

5 lean lbs. in 8 weeks is nice man. As mentioned above you are definitely one of the lucky ones to eat as many cals/carbs as you do and stay very lean. But at the same time can be a curse to add weight. But you seem like a smart guy doing things with a well thought out game plan.

Thanks man,those are some much appreciated kind words. Gaining weight is never an issue for me. Its the limiting how much i cram down my pie hole that is. I can put on alot of weight quickly, the wrong type of weight. Im going to use an incredible amount of discipline entering the lean bulking period and practice self control. Im very new to the game of bodybuilding and im going to do my best to do things right.

Morning weigh in results

I weighed in at 180.4 this morning. My weight has been consistently between 180-182 for the past week or so, so id say ive found my maintenance calories.
If i eat 36-3700 calories a day with 350-400 of them being high glycemic carbs post workout i seem to maintain my weight, continue to lean out and put on size in a very slow transition. I wish i had another week or two to play around with this before i went on vacation but now i have it figured out for when i get back .

Final review

Incinderine

Value:
9 out of 10

I got a great deal on this. I bought the exoburn stack on nutriverse for only 60 USD. For a full dosed run this will last you a month. You could stretch it over six weeks however if you wanted. That comes to 30 dollars a piece. Not too shabby.

Dosing:
8 out of 10

Its a simple dosing protocol. Twice a day, one to two capsules at a time, at least six hours apart. Doesn't get much easier than that. Id give it a 10 for simplicity sake but the twice a day dosing for the effectiveness of the product is the only reason i knocked it a few points

Side effects:
9 out of 10

I had no negative feelings on this product. It caused me absolutely no stomach issues even when doing both doses in a fasted state. Absolutely zero side effects. The only negative was a gelatin tasting burp or two probably correlated to taking the product on an empty stomach

Effectiveness:
9 out of 10

I only got to run this for a month but the recomp i saw and you will see in my progress photos is pretty impressive. I lost a total of 5 pounds over the course of the six week log. I did this while increasing my calories from 2600 to 3400 to in the last week, 3600. I even had to take a week off training due to doctors orders and still lost a pound or two in that week

Final notes

Id definitely love to give this product another go stacked alongside exotherm for a full 8 week run. Im going on vacation again in May ,so you guys may just be seeing me log this again over 8 weeks next time.
