Myokemist's voyage to being less of a fatty!

[booneman77]

Man when I was doing keto I was usually under 25g haha. First few days were hell but after a week or so even the day after a 400g refeed I was feeling fine. It's amazing how your body can adjust

 

[Clipper83]

Guess I'm lucky I can cut on 250-300. I've been debating carb cycling or a keto approach. That will have to wait a few months though

 

[Myokemist]

Today ended up being a disaster training and diet wise. Severe lack of sleep, 3 hour flight, and a very important conference call definitely took everything out of me. Took a few hour nap but still feeling completely worn out.

I've hit the gym 4 days in a row before today, so I'm sure my body needed the rest as well. Goal is to be back on track tomorrow.

 

[Myokemist]

Had a great shoulder/tri/chest pump workout at Armbrust Pro Gym. Saw Mr. O, Phil Heath. He's definitely looking on point. Been a very tough trip diet wise, but will get back to the grind tomorrow.

Awesome pump. Arms feel like they are gonna explode! Completed one FF draft and VERY happy with my team for a keeper league. Time to prep for 2 more and make some Cuban Flank Steak!

 

[Myokemist]

Morning weight: 221.8 (-3.4lbs)

Today's legs so hoping to push a little more weight than last week. Tried to upload a picture of the Cuban Flank Steak last night, but wouldn't let me . I will say though, it was the BEST steak I ever ate! I'm pretty happy with the weight loss considering how the travel schedule messed me up. Gotta love Pyroxamine!

 

[Myokemist]

Leg workout:

5min WU bike

Glute/Hams: 4x5

Felt great. Could have got 405 at least 2 more reps but back tightened up from deads. Definitely noticing the endurance boosting effects of Magnitropin as no pre-workout was taken today. Been a rough weekend to say the least...

 

[tyga tyga]

Solid squatting. How often do you pyramid and reverse pyramid?

Depends on how I feel. I don't have a set program per se

Yep. Have a plan for the week. If you feel good do it!

 

[Myokemist]

Morning weight: 223.6
I'd be more disappointed with this if I didn't feel I was losing body fat. Definitely noticing that I'm leaning out and given the current macros I'm at, normally I would be losing weight. Strength is definitely going up, libido is skyrocketing (borderline annoying), and endurance continues to increase.
