Health reasons? You look young, if not for needing to risk health, looks like you can walk through walls. Unless you're chickening out lol

I’m not having a good week weight wise. I ended last week at 201.3. This week I have trended up to 205 on the dot this morning. I’ve got to reevaluate my training, diet and cardio regime to see where it’s gone wrong.

Come on MS, you know that it’s because you are not eating potato chips!
I gave you the secret, now you just need to follow it.

You too man. What AAS were you running? Any long esters waiting to kick in?

I think MRS BG is running his ass ragged now. Chop down that tree, dig up those hedges, clean the gutters, etc.

I’m running a refeed every second Sunday. That has seemed to really helped. This last refeed was actually on the 3rd Sunday so 3 full weeks of strict Keto. That might have been the problem.

Whenever you are in this kind of situation, theres the contemplative and rational way of evaluating things, but don't forget that whatever you have accomplished was done by upping the ante. Testicular fortitude. If you bust your balls like you haven't before, you will reach what you haven't before.

I had been doing a ton of cardio, last week I had to back it down because my hips were killing me to lay on at night.

Agreed.

Seems like your going into save mode, time to change things up and trick it into thinking your giving in with a high carb day. I think hardcore carb cycling would work well, just do a clean high carb day every 5-7 days of Keto.

I might start doing a refeed every 7th day actually. My problem is, it takes a full 3-5 days to get back into ketosis even if I’m fasting. I know it don’t really matter persay other than a mental thing.

Im 43 but I trained VERY heavy for 20 years and it took its toll on me body. All we did was lift as heavy as possible, thats how I was brought up......things are different these days and Im trying to prolong this life style as long as possible.

[BG]

Lmfao!!

Good morning laugh

Are you keeping the refeed clean and in small amounts? It shouldn't take long to get back into Keto with cardio.

[tarmyg]

GH- give us an update on how the high test is going. I am very interested because I just recently went low test and liked it. I know that you also went low test at times. I would like to know what you feel the differences are... the good , the bad, and the ugly.
Also, how is the time with the pro trainer? Is it possible that GH can learn anything more? LOL

All I’m adding back in is whole grain bread and some pasta or potatoes.

Good idea, I’ve been doing the pasta also

Just a number..........I’m high mileage!!

[cousinmuscles]

BG, sounds like my life in general (not just lifting lol), but I believe in recovery and regeneration, wake up like a zombie and go back to lifting

HIIT circuits tonight, shoulders yesterday.

Jacked my right shoulder up again playing with the dog just before going to the gym. I have that partial implant holding my labrum together and I think, when stuff gets inflamed the tissue swells and rubs over it. I worked around it, not the best workout ever last night but I got it done. Carbed up yesterday’s to help poop, it worked! But unfortunately my weight keeps ticking up. I actually looked much bigger and fuller this morning and today. So I know what amount of carbs I will need to carb up for a show, or at least a good starting point.

Today’s workout was really good, i set up a HIIT circuit of rows, pushups and weighted walking lunges with 10 deep squats at the end. Took me about 25 minutes to complete all 8 rounds. Basically no rest between exercises. I was pouring sweat and breathing really hard. Got my heart rate up to about 85-90% mhr for 12-15 of those minutes. That’s really where I wanted to work in tonight. After that i rested and got rehydrated then got 40min of steady state cardio in. I’m going to go back to this more intensive or volume amount of cardio with hopes of restarting my weight loss again.

[tarmyg]

5x5 Deadlift workout today. That's it! Weight keeps creeping down, zero slowdown thus far. Held way more fat than I expected. Going to tag along Musclescience once he starts building muscle again as he seems to know what he is doing.

[RaginCajun]

25 minutes of slow ass cardio, still not 100%. Down to 190.8lbs today, think some of it is water. Going eat some boiled crawfish today, will send pics. First boil of the year, fuckers are expensive!
