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

So your going high protein, pretty high, good fats and pretty damn low carbs, huh? Have you tried it before?

i ran this setup for years. love it but now as i have gotten much older we have opted for a more medium protein medium fat and rotating carb levels. i actually went with a coach this past season and handed everything over to him. not that i cant run it all on my own but i wanted to try some new things and learn a bit from a good one. i can say that on the high pro high fat low carb, my training wasnt as productive and pump worthy but i did stay lean as hell up to about 286. i was able to do that this year up to around 300 with then new approach as well. so more than a few ways to skin the cat up in our game

i personally get more out of slin for driving nutrients into the muscle and great while i am in the offseason or carb loading. the met i think works much better for show prep and keeping insulin much more sensitive. i know people that keep it in pretty much year round and have great success with the met. i normally like to just opt for when i am leaning down though

done for the day. little slow start going in today because i trained a little later. so that in itself threw me off. got warm pretty quick and pushed some pretty good weight and finished off each set with amraps for added intensity. low back a little beat up and tight from cardio which is completely normal at this point. so i opted for a little change with the low back machine. no more deads or any movements that may put low back in a bad position. getting closer and feeling pretty damn good over all

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

Only thing I can add is shakes shaved me. I just do not have a big appetite. The trainer I was using got me to buy a carb powder that's no longer available but one identical is. Now foods carbo gain. Is just pure complex carbs you have whatever amount of carbs you're shooting for, say 60, for one meal, so you add enough carb powder to equal 60 g of complex carbs. Then get a good protein and mix the protein in, whatever amount your meal calls for. The carb powder is neutral, tastes like nothing so you will get flavor from the protein you choose. You can add a Tblsp of coconut oil, macadamia nut oil ect. You have a complete meal that you can finish in less than 5 min. I would set alarm for 2-3 am just to get one in so I could push to 8 meals a day.

i will get back to all of your other ones later on man. as for the carb powders, you need to look into highly branch chain cyclic dextrin or cluster dextrin(same things). you can buy it in actual supps or get the powder straight up, that's what i do but i only use it with my intra shake and not in my actual meals. as you can see from start to finish, i have no issues eating haha. the cyclic dextin digests super easy and is easy on your guts. all the other powders made it damn near impossible for me to eat comfortably and i had to force myself to eat. even in high doses of the cyclic dextrin i have absolutely no issues at all eating and it is great alongside of slin

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

just for a note to you guys that want to eat big to get big. even i and i can house food as you can see can not eat monster chicken breast at a 1lb at a time when bulking. i tried a little experiment weds-friday this week and it bout killed me off. i did 4 of my meals half beef (8oz) and half chicken (around 8oz, it was actually quite a bit more around 9-11oz). well let's just say i got it all down but i paid for it. it sits in your stomach like a brick. well thursday i said hey i will get 2 beef meals n and then do the rest chicken. nope no dice, just as brutal. so now it is only going to be a meal or 2 of chicken per day spread very far apart. now i am not saying you prob couldnt do it with say 6 or 8oz a few times a day but as the oz start moving up it is brutal.

9 ounces of chicken 7 times a day. I'll never forget that. Forcing it down with water.

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

a quick guns' insider tip on eating. ok, regardless of what you have read heard or whatever, you have to eat big to get big. it doesnt matter what you take what combos or whatnot. it is the food that makes you grow. now here is my tip to get to where you can eat the volume that is needed:

start off each meal in a mid range say 6oz protein and 50-60g of carbs. do that for a wk. then the following wk move up 1oz of protein and 10-20g carb. if you get stuck then maintain it for another wk and go back at it again. now the excuse everyone has is i dont want the pot belly blah blah. sorry it is a part of the process but when you diet down it will go completely away. last show i did i went from a 38 on a full stomach to a 30 on a full stomach. i could have brought it down even more but i balanced out anyway so no worries.

Only thing I can add is shakes shaved me. I just do not have a big appetite. The trainer I was using got me to buy a carb powder that's no longer available but one identical is. Now foods carbo gain. Is just pure complex carbs you have whatever amount of carbs you're shooting for, say 60, for one meal, so you add enough carb powder to equal 60 g of complex carbs.

Yes that is more conventional. Were you trying to drop some fat first before you started blasting food?

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

ok the starting block. everyone for the most part has seen the creation that was built last year. the final product was delivered on stage at 216 and 219 respectively. with that being said we are going to start with the rebound plan that was used to get me were i currently sit. also i am going to share that my guinea pig had not started to hammer away on a serious diet routine until this past monday. he was basically eating around 500g of protein and not tracking carbs or fats. he made this decision to allow his body and internal organs to normalize and have a small break from the stress place on them.

the rebound:
1ml omna ed 6 days a wk
1ml or 100mg npp 5 days a wk
1ml tne/drol/bol blend 5 days a wk (training days only) taken approx. 90-120 minutes prior to training
1 viag/cialis taken 1 hour prior to workout
50mg oral drol taken on off days 2x a day
gh 5ius 5 days a wk
igf 4wks on 4wks off 60mcg preworkout 15mins prior
cjc on the 4 wks off from igf 60mcg prior to bed
metformin 500mg during 4wks off igf postworkout

supplement lineup:
orange triad 2-3x daily
acv 2 tblspns 3x day. 1st am/noon and final meal
cycle support 2 scoops 1x day
hawthorne berry 2caps 3x day
vit c 1g 3x a day
omega 3 fish oil 2g 3x day

that's about it for now. i will update our planned cycle change and my updated training and diet setup since i have turned it up full bore.

my guinea pig is currently sitting at 282 first thing in the am at 9% bf. he is strong as an ox right now and hungry as ever.

you guys are more than welcome to chime in with questions and comments as you like. i will post up my daily training and when i cheat on my diet haha. hope you enjoy these upcoming months cause it is going to be a blast and chaotic experience for us all

done for the day. great session tons of volume and really good pace. got in nice and early again this am since the mrs didnt have to work and trained with a buddy. wife and son had to make up legs so buddy and i went back to back for the duration to push tempo. so of course pump and condition work were on point. since i cant push up to awful heavy it clicked on me to get to a point were i am about 1-2 reps away from failing with perfect form and then toss in an amrap set in the end. no crazy stupid stress on the joints get some good stimulation but not lose any size and fullness with this approach. at least that's what sounds good in my mind. so keeping a good intensity technique in that doesnt put to much stress on everything risking injury. also still got another free meal and went to the beach for a few hours yesterday and got sun burned. so today and tomorrow will be a bit uncomfortable. finished out the week good and strong. another good week in the books with 2 more to go.

done for the day. went in quite a bit earlier than usual and of course it was packed. so slow start and super aggervated getting the work in. got going pretty good and had to pull back and remind myself not to over do it, that's why i dropped out the rest pause work. strength is really good and still climbing but joints are dry and tender. so once i get good and warm they arent tender and i start to get silly. good thing i was starting to cramp today because i had to catch myself haha. great pump and really good volume. one more training day of the week and most likely close out the week nice. happy with condition and vascularity today and how everything is looking. so another successful one in the books
