Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

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

some say you can go at it with just lowering down and reducing cals but i have found it best to pull it down my way. on the first zero day you still have a bit of glycogen in the tank but by the end of day 2 you are running off of pure fat or at least very very close to it. not to mention, this doesnt give your body the option of adapting because it is always changing. i think that's what you are asking. or if you are saying could you spread the carbs out a bit more and just decrease smaller amounts through each day. i dont see why not. i just try to keep mine around training and at the begining of the day when i can. hell man their are about a million ways to diet and get lean but no kidding this is the smoothest and least painful that i have found that you never get used to. you may have to make minor adjustments here and there but other than that you can go for 6 months and not stall out. i have done that before myself

Thanks guns, yeah I meant more in terms of spreading out the carbs. Thanks man, keep killing it!

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

Question guns, regarding your dieting portion of this log. When your doing a carb cycle and cut back on carbs every 2 days. I see you keep protein the same, have carbs the same per meal and just the carbs out of 1 meal every 2 days until you hit zero for 2 days.
Is it critical to have those extra zero carb meals or can you just reduced carbs per meal and hit the same numbers at the end of the day.
Hope this makes sense, thanks

done for day. great pump today. shoulders feel pretty good for the most part also which is good, the old hip is a little bit tender but not as bad at all. the cool thing about going with the lss cardio today was i got to see how well my cardio conditioning is. my heart rate stayed in the range of 120-140 which is the ideal range for me for fat burning. not out of breath at all and at level 5 that is moving pretty good for me. so i am very very happy with my cardio endurance right now. what's even cooler than that is that 3 of my clients got together and purchased me a prowler sled of my own. kind of crazy that someone bought something for me as a gift for more of their own torture and we dont have to drive 45 mins to use one any more. so no more jerry rigging or improvising eccentricless work. we will have our own in a few weeks.

done for the day. got in a great session today but i skipped the ab work. i am a little sore and their was a whole mess of a crew around the lat pull down stations so i just did my reverse hypers as a warmup. pretty happy with how things went today, moved some pretty good weight and got a nice pump in. those t bar deads are pretty sick for constant tension across the lower lats and entire back. i am loving those bad boys and it only takes a set to get the whole back lit up. hip is better on one side but i might have aggervated the over one a little now haha. story of my life. i dont want to have to spend more time working on mobility crap before my training because it already takes 20 freaking minutes to warmup now. may have to move some stuff around and start doing some other things before.

done for the day. yep hip is still aggervated as all hell and hurts pretty bad. i still did my standing cable crunches to open up my lower back but i kept out the reverse hypers and all the other work. the deads were def a bad idea also but eh, live and learn. i got a full day of rest tomorrow so hopefully that helps it ease up and relax a little bit. it does tighten up and hurt over to my tail bone but the biggest thing is it just wont open up and it hurts pretty bad. no issues doing cardio or pretty much anything other than squatting but damn if it dont tighten down even more so when i cool down. cant stand up for very long either or it does the same freaking thing. just need it noted and see what happens. back session was on point. got some really good work in today. back filled up with blood nicely so much so that i couldnt get as heavy as i wanted on pulldowns because it was already toast after rows. still over all very productive but slightly painful day
