Road to a lean redemption

runner_79 said:
Easiest way i think i CAN approach it is, meet my protein requirements of at least 1g/lb BW, fats at .45g per/lb and rest from greens and a nice chunk of Sweet potato with no fat post workout.

which brings me to next question. Olive oil or coconut oil?

cutting ALL WHEY and NUTS tomorrow.

yah as long as you're a) gettng 30% of your cals from fat and b) trying to get a deversified amount of poly unsaturates, saturates, and monostaturates to maintain a good balance of fats. Your calculator should tell you that too...
 
No it didn't...saturated is gonna come from my grass fed beef and turkey mince.
Mono from olive oil/avacado
Poly from fish oils..................

Set...thanks DW

Sounds good .. Invalid Link Removed will break the fats down, it's a bit of a pain to start but ok when you have your diet set up.

I would get a healthy amount of fat from a number of different sources, fish oils with Omega 3-6-9's are gonna always be the best IMO!!!

could be a combination of thngs, hard work while dieting etc ... if you feel light headed a small amount of carbs can take care of that. I bit of orange juice is good as it works fast.
 
Thanks man.
Feeling very good though. Today is off day. Gonna go for a run when I get home From work.
Do a 35min jog at certain Heart rates.
Will log it up. Need a physical rest from gym today. Besides, 3 days on 1 off suits me Perfect.
Will keep food tight today. No fruit even though it is paleo.

Just went to gym today...didnt wanna come home...least at training, im honest to myself and the results i want. Can't be judged there. Best of all, mothers can't annoy you with questions when you not home. Back to chest fasted in the AM...

still no visual changes in the mirror.
Gets ya down after 3 weeks and no real change but will fight the fight and see another day...thanks guys for hanging in my log...means a lot :)
 
You should be seeing some significant chages by now with your diet the way it is...
 
Nope.
Food intake is accurate, water at 1gallon a day at least. Sleep is ok. 6 1/2hours Minimum.
Trying to think wtf is going wrong
 
Post that in the morning. Like
To Weigh in (if I do) first thing empty Stomach.
Would you recommend a creatine that doesn't retain any water to keep strength?

Energy is still amazing!!!!XT is the shiz bro! See why Punjabi liked it!!!!

Creatine Nitrate is good for pre-workout. I heard it from a little bird that we may be making huge strides the that department in the future. shhh I might have said too much....
 
I smell a log haha...doing well guys!!!really improving and putting out some good products.!!!!'n
Nitrate only needs about 750mg for a pump yeah?
Mix that and agmatine! Wow!!!

Mkretz has dibs before me hahah...thanks for the support DW

Damn bro less than a pound in 3 weeks? I could lose apound in a 3 hours if I wanted haha... Hmm maybe underlying issues with the skinny fat... I am the Same body type. Crazy thing- I took one week off from lifting last week. Did two low intensity cardio sessions of 7-800 cals each. No dietary changes. I lost 4 pounds that week and looked noticeable bigger and fuller.... Maybe u need a little lay off ? It was my first in over a year! Now ive scheduled one every 6-8 weeks....

Definitely always helps me... They have to be really needed though otherwise it could take me aweek to burn it off :/ which I
Currently goingthrough now.. Note to self: do not refeed FOLLOWING an off week. I find it best to refeed after my highest
Volume week.. Then restart my training / deplete cycle. Does he have enough rest days? Cortisol could just be sky high... I was shocked to lose weight on my off week.. Body is a strange thing
 
thanks guys.
Well im starting Lean Gains as of Last NIGHT. dinner was finished by 8:20pm...had a fruit and carb refeed at dinner. Sleep very nicely...lots of blueberries and cinnamon.
workout went well...Gettin some veins through my shoulders...looked swole this morning doing chest and back. followed by a 5km run in 20:35minutes...

Lunch is at 1pm..sipping on my monster amino's @ 10g every 2-3 hours.
Will be grilled fish (no flour-gluten intolerance) with lots of salad, and tonight is probably Salmon and ill close of at 8pm, and get ready for bed by 11 and at gym at 7am tomorrow for LEGS...grueling leg day. Will post up results a little later...

I figured, as im not losing much weight, im retaining most, if not ALL my muscle. My strength had not decreased, BUT, i want to lose some weight/fat so its a weird situation hahahah...
Good to have you in Camillo for my ride...its awesome...

Energy in GYM was INSANE..loving the fasted workouts with PRO XT-500...really feel the surge...Beta alanine to buffer my pain and cit mal to help with endurance along with cordygen v02...sweet as stack...

Any thoughts you guys wanna add as to how i can better my APPROACH TO LEAN GAINS???

Thanks Guys

Just don't shy away from food on wd's as this will keep your metabolism moving, what did I say 2600 for you on wd's... and 1600 nwd's lets see how that goes. You may want to shorten the nwd eating window for comfort reasons.
 
Will do...nwd is all veggies and protein and fat
Wds is post workout carbs/protein and rest meals protein/ veggies...

this was yesterday's workout (Friday). Heavy weights have stabilised and my foundation is stronger. 2 weeks till my proper CUTTING PHASE so i can't wait.
Started LGains and its really good.

keeping the aminos up in a 1pm til 8:30pm window. 1 scoop LG science BC+EAA's every 2 hours after waking. Tomorrow, i will take 5g pre w/out with my beta alanine, pro xt,cit mal and cordygen and 30 mins post w/o after i am properly hydrated with water mixed with a little bit coconut water.
Don't feel so heavy now and its only been 2 days...wish i tried this way a lot sooner... thanks guys for helping me with a timetable...kick ASS

Once you reach a comfort zone on LG it's smooth sailing, just adjust as needed...
 
Yeah... The BCAAs cut the appetite, but pro XT- 500...thumbs up during my fasts. Making it a breeze

Oh that's nice to hear, and in truth no fat burner is going to take scads of fat off your body, yes they help with a little extra fat burn no doubt. The appetite suppression, stim and feeling of well being are instrumental. You don't want too much appetite suppression though cuz you still have to eat and quite a lot on wd's in a short time. So if there ever was a time to take a second pill it would be only on burn days when on Lean gains...
 
Weight went from 79.3 to 77.1 over 3 days doing LG.
Booooooom!!!!!

It takes some time to get past the hunger pains. Best advice Is to sleep through as much as u can

Sorry about no update yesterday...
Needed a day AWAY from it all...still followed LG and loving it..PRO XT-500 making it a breeze. Really feelin' this and continue the thumbs up...
Energy is there, focus is good. One prob is i feel the "1,3 giving me somewhat "limp". Given it wil be a month, a my gf is cool with it, its not that big a deal, but i would cycle off it for 4 weeks before using again.
gotta keep her happy to ;)

Need to get my hands on G8 for sleep. It is a bit jaded at moment which kinda sucks...but i think i have it nailed down as to why i can't sleep that great at the moment.

Pre training 6:00am- 5g BCAA (lg science)+Beta Alanine, cre-02, taurine and cit mal + Pro XT 500 + cordygen v02 ultra
Training: 6:45am-8:30am
Post training: 10g bcaa (1 serve) at 9am and 11am

12 noon- Pro XT-500 + 400mg ALA
1 pm 1st meal: Salad bowl + 180g chicken with my fav dressing+100g sweet potato (orange) (am i to late to dose carbs now? will it lead to fat gain)
4:30pm snack: 120g grass fed biltong with 2 oz nuts
7:30pm dinner (last meal): 150g grassfed beef mince + 400g veggies + 150g chicken breast + 1 oz nuts

water intake 5.5litres.
 
I didn't know 1,3 could do that.... Makes me wonder if my long term use Is causing less than desirable effects...

As for diet. Sweet pot are undoubtedly healthy. However, ppl like us r just TOO insulin intolerant... I would just use veggies in place of that potato.. It could really hinder fat loss IMO. I have to be really low to no starchy carbs to get shredded, period. Go for broccoli or spinach, lots of it! My favorite is oven roasted broccoli and zucchini rubbed w seasoning n olive oil, nice n crunchy!
