OH ****! HAHA thank you just ordered myself 2 more FD2 because this stuff is wicked!
 
I know I asked in a different thread but when I start going above maintenance calories should I be supplementing creatine?

I like creatine. Just plain old creatine monohydrate. Cheap and effective. 5g daily.
People who respond well to it can gain a few lbs and some strength. Pretty good stuff overall.
Dont buy into all the fancy creatines out there. Monohydrate works perfectly well and is cheap.

Agree! about $12 for a pound. plus if you search you can find even better deals.
plus it is easy to take. I just add 5g to my protein once a day.
 
ok so who wants to get into the science stuff and explain what it does for me? Better during a lean bulk VS cut?

I use it year round. Bulk/ Recomp/Cut. Doesn't matter. It's not magic but it is cheap and has been tested like crazy.

Thanks, where do you buy from? I could just add it to my powerade zero in the mornings?

I suggest the next time you order some Protein / supplements just see what kind of deals they have on it.
it's so cheap that the shipping cost on just creatine wouldn't be worth it.
You could probably find it local if you just wanted to go pick some up. WalMart even sales it.
 
Optimum Nutrition creapure creatine 380 servings for 40 dollars (saves a little to buy in that size), convenient to have one tub that lasts all year and complete all in one transaction.
 
In this bad boy and just skimmed through a lot of it. Can you do me a favor? Just for my own curiosity can you post up a side by side pic from after your last cut next to these last cut pics? I am curious to see the differences made in a lean state from the last bulk you did.
 
These days I buy bulk from China but you can find domestic sources as well. Google bulk supplements and find the best price for a kilo. Will last 200 days.
Can be taken in the morning with your Gatorade yes.
Interesting stuff.
Lots of research proving efficacy.

Ok drinking this stuff fasted? 5g per day?

Yep. You can drink it anytime. I just drink it early am to get it over with. If you dive into the research there isn’t an honest consensus on when’s better ie. PWO, Post workout, intra, morning, night.

5g per day and once your at saturation it’s gna be great!

what do you mean saturation?
 
Creatine builds up over time, i find after 1 week of 5 grams per day it works better and provides increased muscle fullness through an increase in intramuscular water and a slight strength boost. I have used the standard monohydrate which seems to work well and the more refined creapure version which i feel is slightly better overall.

I will not go back to using ethyl ester, tri creatine malate or creatine hcl as i do not feel they work as well as the oldest and best basic creatine monohydrate, creapure is just a more purified version of creatine monohydrate produced by AlzChem AG in Germany
 
Yah nothing wrong with the micronized creatine monohydrate. Like creapure.

Macro thoughts people? And MrKleen73 I haven't forgotten about you to get some side by sides

Week 1 of my reverse diet my macros were:

1700 calories =Rest days
106 carbs
130 protein
85 fats

1700 calories =Active days
170 carbs
128 protein
57 fat

I want to go slow. The first week of my reverse I went from 1625kcal --> 1700kcal
This week I was going to add 10g carbs and 2g fats.

How do I do this on my rest days? I kind of want to keep carbs lower. Is 116g of carbs consider low? Should I add more fats in on REST days then instead?

What I was going to do for Week 2:

1760 calories =Rest Days
116g carbs
130g protein
87g fat

1760 calories =Active Days
180g carbs
130g protein
58g fat

"Low carb" depends on your maintenance carb intake. I can get 500 carbs or more on a day where I just eat what I want or don't have access like on vacation.
Low for me is 2 slices of Ezekiel toast with meal 1 then no actual carb sources the rest of the day. But I don't recommend keeping it this low consistently.
For me cycling is much better and allows me to retain more muscle.
1 regular carb day
1 med carb day
1 low
Repeat.

Water retention and stomach bloating.

Pretty common Im afraid. Because creating pulls in water it can really bloat you.
Try interval dosing with food.
So say you eat 4 meals. Instead of 5g creatine dose do 1.25g at the end of each meal.
Has worked for clients when I trained people

Thanks Brother!
 
Like Brundel said, low carbs is a relative statement. For someone like Ronnie Coleman 800g of carb a day is low. :)

Close to 100 at your bodyweight is probably not going to get you near keto or anything but it is low enough to help make the energy switch to a bit more fat burning wince less carbs to be burned throughout the day. If you want to go lower simply remove more carbs and then replace them with healthy fats to make up the calories. Really how low you go depends on how well you do with carbs. If you do well on them then there is no reason to go that low in the first place.
 
OK per the request of MrKleen73 here are pictures at the end of each cut.

March 2017 I ended cut at 128lbs.
November 2017 I ended my cut at 119lbs.

Awesome progress! You've definitely made some nice strides in your physique.
 
Well almost the end of the 2nd week of this reverse. Still doing 3 caps of FD2 a day, knocked down Radiate to once a day.

Macros this week:
1760 calories =Rest Days
116g carbs
130g protein
87g fat

1760 calories =Active Days
180g carbs
130g protein
58g fat

I hit my macros so far within 5-10g of each. Stayed within the calorie range of 1750-1760.

I weighed in at 119lbs 4 times this week which is like a record LOL :) TGIF friends!

Sounds good and solid!
 
Well done!
 
Had my first free meal on Saturday for a Family Christmas Party.

I did not track, but only ate till I was satisfied and full, & wasn't a dumbass and eat till uncomfortable.

I am now up 200 calories a day from when I ended my cut.

I got home that night and right before bedI had a protein ice cream bowl because I was hungry I was suggested to get in protein if you are still hungry because at parties like this you usually don’t get enough protein.

The next morning I weighed in at 118lbs which is the lowest I have ever weighed myself. So I think the “free meal” did my BODY and my MIND well.

Currently on week 3 of reverse.

Looking good, love the way your body is putting the calories to use too. You look better than the end of your cut for sure!!!
 
Thanks all!

yup still using FD2. 3 caps a day.

Now I only take Radiate for my pre-workout 1/2 scoop and on rest days 1/2 scoop in the morning until I reach maintenance calories just to help with some of that appetite. Even though I am at higher calories I am super hungry lately! I can tell my body is wanting the calories but trying to still not binge.

With the results of the last cheat meal I would say you are probably okay to bump calories another notch... I think you are only bumping 60cals at a time anyway so not very much at all. Remember part of the idea of slowing the radiate was to make eating more a more comfortable thing to do. Now it is more comfortable and your body is definitely making use of the calories so you could bump again and it will probably improve your composition a bit again.

I agree I think I am going to bump before this week ends - currently around 1825 calories a day and weighed in at 118.8lbs this morning.

When you bump calories do you do mostly to carbs then?

My current macros are:
190g carbs
130g protein
60g fat

I think when reverse dieting if your fat is already at an acceptable level and getting adequate protein for growth then all other calories should come from carbohydrates, and you should always increase in your peri workout window first! I would do something like adding in 15-25g of carbs to your intra, or post workout nutrition, and then keep adding there until it becomes uncomfortable in some way, or composition shows you are gaining fat too quickly. Once you become uncomfortable with filling in that timeframe with carbs move the the next meal after your post workout and add carbs there. Gradually working your way out from the periworkout nutrition to the meals following then finally to the meals before.
