At least you can use the new version of Conqu3r when it hits this month!
More carbs, less protein? Shouldn't be the least bit inconvenient at least. As for backloading....even using a bastardized version where I'd always have all my carbs in one meal at night (training or not) I easily got leaner in the weeks I played with it. It can be a little rough in the daytime transitioning to only meats and veggies, but come night you're never going to be hungry and you can play with a lot of crap like waffles/syrup, kids cereal, etc. So you don't really feel like you can't eat certain things, just have to wait for the right time.
It was very difficult to backload 200g carbs after my leg workouts though. Just didn't have an appetite to put all of that down after all the squatting.
You know what for some reason I looked at Creatinol-O-Phosphate and associated it with creatine! You just made me a happy man after you mentioned this i went and found a study showing that COP displayed no toxic side effects and did not break down into creatine or creatinine. I need to read more though because it is processed in the kidneys initially in the kidneys which could me more work for them...
Agreed, and i have been doing the Biorythm diet with this set up anyway so holing off on carbs all day is not going to be a problem for me. I have been doing it for a while now. I am more than likely going to return back to IF style eating so I give my kidneys plenty of down time from processing extra things so they can do some repairing of sorts. It goes really well with CBL anyway.
I would go with the carb backloading method and just make up the protein with carbs. Backloaded the carbs will do you more good than harm and you still get a decent fat burning effect. MCT's and higher fats A.M. work wonders and increased anabolism of the high glycemic carbs in the evening will probably increase your metabolism. Just ease the carbs up to you find that magic spot. You know more about it than me though. My method is just something I threw together using my current macros. I did drop the protein to 250 though and replaced the excess with carbs.
Definitely going with it already made up my mind. However after speaking iwht one of my good friends who is also a registered dietitian and nutrition expert for a Kidney Disease Clinic she told me I needed to go with the lower of the top end choices my Dr gave me if I want to see improvement. She also informed me that as a body builder we have the most efficient protein uptake of any categorie of individuals in the world. She is also a former female body builder and physique competitor. So she knows what she is talking about. So she told me to trust her and bring my protein down to 150g a day and I would not lose ANY muscle mass and would still be able to grow at that level so long as I was eating in a surplus. She currently takes in less than 75g a day, maintains her body weight at 131 lbs for 5'2 and all at a bodyfat percentage that she could walk on stage at any point and time of the year without any prep. I am not exaggerating she is easily 6-7% if not lower and that is for a girl. Let me put it this way she has glute striations year round... She is also doing Intermittent Fasting and only has 2 meals a day, only takes a mutli-vitamin as far as supplements go. So I am going to trust her.
This is her and she is actually walking around leaner than this now all the time... She quit competing since it was so expensive and caused her stress but she has a little more muscle and less fat now believe it or not and walks around like that daily.
Okay this morning was a beast! My leg workout damn near crushed me. Here are the details...
Tempo 4-0-1-0 Rest 60 seconds!
Back Squats 8 reps x 5 sets - Holy crap I pushed the weight up a bit here with the 4 second negatives... Last 3 sets were 275 x8, 8 and 7 with that tempo and a quick pause at the bottom to make sure I was pushing with my quads it was INTENSE!
Heels Elevated DB Squats DB's out toward front - Tempo 6-0-1-0 - 12 reps x 5 sets - I missed 12 reps and only got 10 on the second set due to over estimating the weight I could use with that tempo. Dropped a bit and hit target reps on last 2
DB Alternating Walking Squats (Stepping Through not bringing feet together then takin next step)10 reps per leg x 4 sets - Tempo for walking lunges... just brutal!
Calves 3 sets to failure with 10 seconds rest between them. OUCH!
Super Set
Lying Leg Curls Body Extended - 6 reps x 5 sets
Lying Leg Curls Body Flexed - 10 reps x 5 sets with 5 partials at the end of every set! _ Oh boy I did calves out of turn because the Lying Leg Curl Machie was inuse. BIG Mistake! You want to find out how involved the calves are in the flexing of the knee joint try wearing them out before you do some leg curls... Completely destroyed them and made me fail and have to drop weight quickly on these too!!!!
