    I see many of you here eating carbs for your first meal in the morning. I used to do that all the time as well. I was told to try avoiding carbs for my first meal after waking up as it creates an insulin spike. Instead what I do first thing is make a protein shake (chocolate/PB Whey + coffee instead of water + 1tbsp coconut oil + ice - all in the blender). Tastes like a freakin frappechino. I consume this with my morning vitamins and HGH shot and then hit the gym. Post workout, I do protein and high glycemic carbs.

    I got really good results while doing this and was able to shed significant fat. Can't say for sure this contributed to it as I was eating very clean and training hard.

    I'm curious what the experts on this thread think about this.

    I think it depends on your goals and were your at. I have no problem with carbs in the am because I stay in a fairly lean state year round about 10% but when I start to diet down then I certainly manipulate them. It really depends on your schedule and training schedule as well. I usually work out in the am after meal one so carbs with those first two meals are very important. Each person has a different carb tolerance as well. I know done guys that only gave carbs pre and post training. Oh man I would be starving and never grow if I did that. Thanks for jumping in here and stick around

    I train in the morning after that first no-carb meal and I have plenty of energy - the MCT fats give it to me. I also saw a big jump in strength and pump (even w/o gear) when I started taking SizeOn from Gaspari Nutrition. I consume it Intra-workout staring about 20 min into my workout. It's an amino acid creatine formula. I swear by it - it's done wonders for my training. Bad news is it has 40g of carbs so when cutting, you might have to cut serving in half or you'll be hungry later.

    What are you trying to accomplish? Like i said i am not cutting yet and that is when the carb and food timing matters more

    Trying to add some LBM but still want to shed some fat. Not looking to get huge... Just about 10 lbs of LBM. Sitting at 215 at about 8-10% is my guess right now. Got as low as 6% at the end of my last cut cycle.

    it's going to be really hard to cut fat and put on muscle at the same time. It can be done but your nutrition is going to need to be spot on? Are you on cycle?

    I will be in about 2 weeks. Here is my proposed cycle. I would love any guidance on what you think my macros should be and what you think of my cycle. My maintenance is about 3100-3300 calories and I have been currently eating at 300C/250P/80F. When I was cutting last cycle, I was at 250C/225P/70F and I got shredded.

    1-10 Tren a 115mg EOD 400mg/week (40CC) need 2 more bottles
    3-12 Mast p 171mg EOD 600mg/week (52.5CC) need 4 more bottles
    1-12 Test Sust250 125mg EOD 438mg/week
    7-12 Winny 50mg ED 350mg/week (42 tabs)
    1-14 ai 1/2 EOD
    1-14 HGH 5iu ED
    1-14 HCG 250iu 3x week
    1-10 Caber 1mg per week

    I'm excited about it. Can't wait to see your progress on it. When are you starting?

    Trying to figure out what my nutrition should look like. What do you think? Assuming my maintenance is 3100 calories.

    I'm starting in 2 weeks. I would drop calories by no more then 500 if your trying to cut up. Have you ever carb cycled? Those 3 compounds for a cut are my absolute favorite

    I have never carb cycled. Was waiting to plateau to try it. You think I should do that during this cut? Any good thread or sticky you could recommend?

    I think once you hit a stuck point then a carb cycle would be good. It's much easier then most people think. Here is how I do it. Pick 4 days for your high carb days. Those four days will be your maintenance carbs whatever that is. On the three low days just cut your carbs in half for those days

    So it's 4 high and 3 low? Are the low days 3 in a row and high days 4 in a row? I've seen some plans where they do 3 high and 1 low and repeat.

    Am I thinking about a pre-cycle prime with 3low 1 high then slowly up your low days depending on tweaks and ones body - sliwly depleting your glycogen stores(but never going past 6 days depending on your body)? Correct

    yes you could do that... I just don't like putting that much work into it. I find what I consider my base line or maintenance and then just take mon we'd fri and make those low days with half my maintenance carbs. On the low days what I do is replace the carbs I cut with additional greens

    6 low days? That's gonna be tough buddy. Energy levels might be low. It's basically a low carb diet with a cheat day per week.

    yeah I would never make it on that though I have done low days like that with contest prep. It's miserable and is not worth it to me anymore

    It all depends on ones body and how well they know it... I would never suggest anyone start with 6low days... It's also a 'pre-cycle prime' depleting glycogen stores over a long period of time(like 6-8wks) but you must know your body in and out so you don't lose mucsle tissue(or least as possible)... Or even like prep(you could do it slower over 12-16wks)... I love carbs so I would adjust to mayne 4low 1high but time it b4 leg day and back day!

    Bio - a question on Caber. I hear lot of people say always take with tren and then I see others say "have it on hand" in case you need it. Everything I have read indicates Caber is pretty harsh with sides (nausea, vomiting, insomnia). I would prefer to not take it and just "have it on hand". What are your thoughts? Aside from BW (which I'll draw mid-cycle), how would you know you need to start taking it? Also I have seem 1mg per week and 1/2mg per week as recommended dosage - what do you take?

    ok here us the deal. You always want to have a DA on hand. Prami or caber and yes if needed I would dose the caber at .5 mg 2 x ew. However if you manage your estrogen with an AI you probably will not need the DA

    I will be taking Arimidex so that's good to hear. Now the magic question is how do I know if I do need it? Since I'll probably won't draw blood until week 5-6, are there any early symptoms to indicate I need it? Or do I need to wait for milk to gush out of my titties? Lol
