I think I'm a hero because I put in a few 2-a-days. You put in 45 on the treadmill and consider it a day off. YOU"RE MY HERO!

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

Thank you for the explanation man I do appreciate it. I'd like to try that. I usually just do high carb high protein low fats. Bit I've never tried what you have. How much coconut oils woul u say u have with each meal. How do u incorporate that in ur meals

no problem at all man. i do 1 tablespoon with each meal when i am under 250 and then bump to 2 once i get to or close to 250 and up. i just straight up eat mine also. some people say the cant do that because of the texture but it has no taste and to me it is no different than the old wax candy bottles filled with fruit juice when we were kids. the whinny people that cant eat it i have them put it in a shot glass and microwave it till it is a liquid and then they shoot it.

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

oh wow. yeah id like to try NPP this offseason to see if it doesnt bloat me as bad as deca would.

Is there a reason behind only carbs with your first two meals then fat with the rest on the lower carb days? if i were to have a lower carb day i would want to spread it out just so i wasnt "blowin my load" of carbs so early in the day. Im no where near a national level competitor just love the sport and try and pick the brains of people like you. So if i get annoying brother just tell me to stfu!.

i really appreciate your help man

no way man, no problem at all. i put this log up just for the purpose of showing people what i do and how i do it as well as help anyone out that jumps in and asks questions. i love helping and learning as much as i can myself also.

as for the carb setup in the offseason it isnt always only the first 2 meals. i do a 150g serving right out of bed with a shake. then i do the other 150g of carbs post workout then all the other meals are with coconut oil or other good fats. i like the coconut oil cause it does the most and works really well for me. ok the background that i learned from this was that by doing this with the carbs and fats with the carbs first in the am and post workout is that it helps you crank out better gh output from your workouts and stoke your body first thing in the am. now i did use this method for an entire offseason and it is probably the best offseason conditioning that i have ever been in with no cardio at all. now i was also eating 6lbs of steak the entire time and only replacing a lb of that with a lb of shrimp a day or two a week. then the following year i did the alternating method that i use now and i gained more muscle that i should hold onto. it does work but i like to change things from week to week so i dont get bored and i like to eat so having higher carbs for a week allows me a bit more freedom for a short period of time. so in a nut shell it is the best of both worlds without getting to far out of condition or getting bored

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

thanks man that today is day 1 of my 2 zero carb days. so today i pushed hard but tomorrow it will be a nice nasty struggle. i actually got a really good pump going considering i think my glycogen was very very low.
in the offseason if i run say sust or oman with deca or npp it really doesnt matter what my diet and cardio looks like cause it puts about 15 or more pounds of water on me easy. so that blurs out most of my lines. i keep my top 4 abs year round and my legs stay in shape really well but lower abs and low back take the brunt of the water i put on. so what i try to do and what keeps me between 10-12% max is i alter how i eat every week. one wk i eat a 300g of carbs only and that is in 2 meals. then i have coconut oil with the other 4-5 meals. then the next week i hammer high carbs with very very low fat. that keeps me from ballooning up but doesnt slow down my gains. i figure i added a good quality 8 or 10lbs of stage weight this year so that setup i think worked very very well for me this past offseason. i try not to do to much cardio either maybe 3 days a week for no more than 20 mins. i dont want my body to adapt to the regular cardio sessions when it comes time to come back down is why i dont get to crazy with it. i did do a bit more this year cause i hit 300 and it was just to much and i had to come back down. that and i missed a little over a week of eating because of a death in the family so i got back down to a more comfortable 288 before i started

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

hahah db skullies! sick workout.

i take it that its a low carb day? dont see any real direct source of carbs

what do you feel your best way to keep abs (not shredded abs) but def visible in the offseason? usually i just get real sloppy but id like to try and stay tighter. just keeping up on cardio? and diet? just eat the same food but more of it.

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

great idea! my fiance is going to take out all her anger on my damn tri its going to kill! ahah

yeah man, it is brutal and if she isnt hurting you then she isnt doing it hard enough. make sure to stay away from the bones and joints lol, they arent meant to be rolled. cool thing about it is it also helps break up a little bit of scar tissue and improves circulation in the area also. i call it my poor man's deep tissue because i only have the funds and time to hit that 1-2x a month

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

i have my wife use a rolling pin on me for all the areas i cant get with the rumble roller. the company that makes rumble rollers makes hand held ones for the same thing but they arent any different than a rolling pin so that's what i use. it helps with the areas you shoot as well as speed up the healing process even though it's quite painful

Dude that's perfect! I have to scoop that. Was going to get a massager from there because I like to shoot my tries and I can't seem to massage it hard enough with my hands
