.put on some water and fat ...and was pretty down..and friends are telling me to stop doing cardio cos they think i'm about "there" and really lean..but little did they know that i've put on a little..esp on the lower abs. SO GET ON YOUR HORSE AND GET BUSY.
.so..i stopped doing cardio for a week..but quickly realised i need to hit that metabolic system to get it going again despite not having the ECA. D*MN RIGHT....GOING FROM AN ECA WITH CARDIO, TO NO ECA AND NO CARDIO IS GOING TO YIELD SOME CRAPPY IMAGERY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO!
.so i started cardio..with just coffee before and with empty stomach in the am as usual. hard to get that heart rate to at least 60%...but..i'm back to regular thermo ..without the Ephedrine now..working pretty well..right now ..diet is at 91g fats,300g prot,144g carbs on workout days...and 155g fats,300g prot on cardio days..i'm weighing at approx 148 pounds...i just measured myself today..arms are down 1 inch...quads down 2 inches..waist maintained for about 2-3 weeks..calfs down 0.5 inch...something is definitely wrong somewhere..my legs have shrunk alot..within days..i'm thinkin it might be the cardio...i'm walkin at 60-75% max hrt rate on incline...3days..what do u guys think? YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR DIET AND TRAINING. EXPERIMENT W/CALORIC AMOUNTS. I'D TRY TO ADD SOME LEAN MASS MYSELF FIRST, IF YOU ARE BELOW 150 LBS......REALLY, LEAN MASS BURNS FAT, SO ADD IT NOW, LOTS OF IT, THEN CUT LATER......YOU'RE GONNA KILL YOURSELF THIS WAY TO GET DOWN TO BEING REALLY RIPPED, BUT REALLY SMALL.
5 weeks out..just wana get the last bit of fat which i'm still holding on the lower abs to go....so i can figure out how to put about my final week prep and try it out 2 weeks before showtime..should i drop my carbs and instead??? :unsure: :eek: :scratch:
