UPDATE FOR 8/18/17
Lets talk about training then
So I have a 25 year old friend that is a typical American type guy in the sense that I am not.
I am from Canada but live in the United States now.
That is to say, that he started training when he was 14 years old for football, and never stopped. That is a very much American thing that I have always admired. We chat about gym, diet, training and a lot of other stuff and he mentioned the most stupid over the top workout that I ever heard of.
What makes this worse? It is one of those dreaded bodybuilding dot com monstrosities.
Adding to all this, the crazy person friend of mine did it, and got these fantastic results on it last year.
So against my judgement, I am doing a super high rep range over the top program which I started yesterday.
To be clear, it is not for natural lifters
The program in question is by Kris Gethin. If there was ever a stereotype of the "bro" but from the UK, it would be this guy. He is very much a characterized version of a real person by all accounts and purposes.
It uses super high reps to accomplish muscle failure, but at the same time I am aware the science behind this stuff is the same thing that Charles Poliquin (also controversial to some, but also a super smart guy) talks about with high volume training like German Body Composition or lactic acid thresholds.
These do have science behind them for fat loss and muscle retention, so there is that.
So I started the 4 week "DTP" program yesterday
I am not a natural trainee...
I will remind anyone reading that I am on Cardarine/GW and MK677 as I do this log, that there is important to note. If anything, just the endurance benefits of the GW are going to help me to not die on a superset that combines 500 reps (yea, you read that right. I cannot post links, go look the program up).
The time between sets is short and I know that it would have killed me a year ago.
This morning I have a dull ache in the legs, but I did workout only 12 hours ago, so I have another 8 or so to see if I start to feel terrible soreness... The GW should help that though, and the MK is holding water everywhere so I guess that that will help too.
Yesterdays Diet?
I stuck to 2800 calories. I used a free version of the now email sign up only IIFYM calculator and it gave me
C - 378
P - 144
F - 77
That is fine I guess, I am a carb phobic guy so that is a good number to shoot for, to get over and around that and grow as a person.
I did wake up though around 1.5 hours into sleep voraciously hungry. This is the MK and of course it was carbohydrates I wanted (which is the GW talking).
I had some pretty awesome organic cereal I got on a closeout sale. Just dry, so a bowl of carbs. I need to get around those night cravings some how.
Aside from that sleep was freaking fantastic, woke up incredibly well rested.
I may take
HIT4ME suggestion and eat protein in the morning, I have a good allmax casein isolate but will try not to if I do not have to.
If you have done anything like MK 677, the hunger can effect you strangely. They say it goes away, for me it always nags in waves a little bit.
