Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

day 7 and 8 of the carb cycle. this is what today and tomorrow looks like eating wise

600g protein
0g carbs
pretty large addition of fats

meal 1:
16oz tilapia
2 tbl spns coconut oil
meal 2
16oz tilapia

1 carton egg whites 100g protein
2 tbl spns coconut oil
meal 4
16oz bonesless skinless chicken breast

of course you can expect me to be worthless the next two to two and a half days. i pushed hard today on back and tris and i hit the wall earlier than i like to. no glycogen left so it will be a nasty weekend for this guy

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

abs/back/tris:

10 min step mill warmup
rumble roller
machine crunches 30x20/2 40x20/2 50x20/2
cable crunches 40x20 50x20 60x15 70x12
hanging knee ups x12/4
machine pullovers 90x20 105x20 120x20 135x20 150x15
close grip pulldowns 75x20 90x20 105x20 120x18 (these were done with a full 3 sec contraction)
wide grip pulldowns 135x12 120x15 105x20 90x20 (same as above)
bent row 135x20 185x20 225x20 275x15
seated low row cg 105x20 120x20 135x18 150x12
hypers x15/6
one arm over head db xtens 20x30 25x20 35x20 45x15 55x12
v bar pressdowns ds 150x10ds 135x10ds 120x10ds 105x10ds 90x10ds 75x10ds 60x10ds
rope pressdowns 75x20 90x20 105x20 120x14 (these were done with a 5 sec contraction and a 3 sec negative)
dc stretching

felt great and strong going into the workout. a little irritated as always at this phase of the cycle but got a good fire going. pushed hard but over pushed a little i think. when on the zero end of carbs i find that i have to save a little fuel for day 2 of the zero carb section. not saying half assing training but not over pushing either. i guess it pays off in the long run cause all i got is cardio this weekend but it still makes pretty much functioning mentally and physically a pain.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Looking awesome in those pics bro!

I modeled my diet after yours and i must say so far i like it. Fatloss is a little slower than I am used to but strenth is going up so cant complain. Might tweek it a little bit to shed faster. Thanks alot for posting this stuff up. Definitely gave me some great ideas.

Those damn zero carb days come around quick!, but it keeps you looking foward to something(high carb day). The high carb days are by no means cheating but you feel like your feasting.

Doing this plan i feel like i am dieting 2 days a week. Wih a stationary macro diet there is nothing to look foward to Same shitty days..., day after day.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

ok been awhile since i updated here so i appologize to all that have been following along. i have had a ton of stuff going on and been slammed. my body is on point feels good and stuff but my mind is lacking haha. i will give you guys what i am doing right now as i deplete into my load and drop water. now with this being added in i am going into this with a different approach than what i normally do. i got gc tweaking a few things to take me to the next level and get as dry as humanly possible. training and protein hasnt changed at all until 2 wks ago. we went down to this:
high carb day 300 cream of rice
mid carb day 200 cream of rice
low carb day 100 cream of rice
zero obviously was zero.
those were the only changes that have been made. currently i started my deplete this am. it consists of zero carbs for today-sunday and i will attempt to flatten out and burn off as much and all the glycogen as possible. basically i will be about to die by sunday night haha.
cardio will be 60 minutes a day which i did today
water for yesterday and today is 4 gallons.
i will put up updates as we change in water and carbs. i am currently 238 this am dry. this is an all time high for me with this type of conditioning and we are gunning to land at 225 and win this bad boy

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

hey g, saw your diet plan and its giving me a better idea of what i should be doing. i was trying to keep same levels each day and for 4 weeks i didnt drop 1 lb, this worked for me last year, but im not certain why this year i feel like i yield no results during that time. however im changing my diet up with carb manipulation using the same method as yours except you eat a shit ton more food than i could even think about eating.

couple of questions:

how much rest time are you taking between sets?
how much rest time are you taking between exercises?
i have completely lost my appetite for the 1st half of the day, does this happen to you?
any recommendations on how to get hungry?

big thanks and props for posting this log up. extremely helpful.

thanks man, i let it slide for a bit logging wise and didnt really think to many were following along. so here goes:

1- i usually rest 45-60 secs for normal exercises and as long as i need to for compound movements which is usually no more than 3 minutes max
2- i roll from movement to movement pretty quickly. i try to get my training done in an hour to an hour and a half tops. sometimes legs and back will push a little longer but i try to keep it moving quick
3- it does get crushed from time to time. i like to do my cardio am fasted which helps a ton and also i try to wait at least an hour or more after my final meal before going to bed. that will make you starve by the time its time to eat again. also if you dont have any carbs before bed that seems to spike it a bit as well.
i think i covered the last question pretty well but not being afraid to cardio helped me out a lot. also start low on oz's when starting a bulk and add an oz or 2 every wk to hit max numbers. and when cutting, take your time to eat but get it all in. by the time you have made one or 2 runs through the carb cycle you will have no issues eating trust me haha. another thing to look at is carb choices, seems that some types of carbs kill people's appetites. things like brown rice and for some people oats will wreck their eating. you can try cream of wheat or rice, no salt rice cakes and other carbs to see if that helps also
