Carb Cycling Log

[Get hench Die Trying]

Hi all

i have taken 405's advice and started a log to track how im doing with my carb cycling.

First off my stats are

25 years old
5'09
85kg
9 point callipers say im 8% bf but i think im more 10-12%

Arms 16.1
Chest 42
wasit 34
Thigh 24
Calves 15.4
Forearm 13.2
Hips 35

(all in inches)


i have been training for god knows how many years i lost count

and have a few cycles under my belt

my diet is as planned;

i will be having 3 low carb days 1 high and 3 mod carb days

my low carb days will be 270g pro 50g carbs from veg and 30-40g of fat a day

My high carb days will be same pro/fat plus 250g of carbs

and my mod carb days will be same pro/fat and 150g of carbs

all pro will come from lean meats like chicken fish and lean beef (sirlion steak fat trimmed off). fats will come from fish oils and whatever fat is in my pro and carbs will be from veggies oats and brown rice.


i will attach photos of my diet underneath.

my training split will be;

Monday - chest
Tuesday - shoulders/abs
Wednesday - arms
Thrusday - legs
Firday - back/abs
Sat - rest
Sun - rest

each day will have a steady state cardio seasion at the end for 30-45 mins heart rate at about 130-140

later on i will be thinking about adding in a cycle of test prop 100mg eod and var 100mg a day split 50mg am and 50mg pm because of short half life and some clen ramping up to a max of 120mcg a day all in the am

Let me know what you guys think if i need to change anything or add anything in please

so let the fun begin and lets see what happens.

Awesome. we're pretty much identical to what I'm doing and stats.

Good luck! I'll be following

[gbrice75]

Looks almost identical to the carb cycle I ran last summer...

[Get hench Die Trying]

So looks good to everyone then. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks now and I have pit on a kilo for some reason I weighed myself after the 3 low days but my abs look like they have come out more. I just measured all my body parts and my arms have got a little bigger but still have the same calliper measurements.

Not sure what's happening to me I don't no if I'm putting on weight or loosing it and adding muscle??

[--->>405<<---]

Good deal hench. Glad u started a thread. Keep an eye on bf. the mirror will usually tell the tale. Dont worry so much about the scale sounds like ur doing well!

[Get hench Die Trying]

Today was all good stuck to my Marcos and trained back today didn't do abs going to do them tomorrow with cardio also did half hour cardio on 8 incline speed was 5. Had a look at my abs in the gym they are coming out a little more for some reason they always look better but that could So be due to the fat that i carb loaded yesterday apart from that all was well.

[Get hench Die Trying]

So far so good apart from Sunday I had a bit of a bad day over ate but nothing unhealthy.

Woke up this morning trained chest and did some cardio on target for my Marcos today.

Thinking about starting a test prop and tren a cycle to help with the cut what do you guys think??

[--->>405<<---]

well ur 25 and already lean so id be curious to see how ud fare. that would be the cutting cycle i ran if i were to run one and ive thought about it for maybe next summer. but first id have to do a bulking cycle.

[Get hench Die Trying]

Yeah I'm in two minds. Should I run a low amount of tren and higher test or lower test and higher tren people say with less test and more tren u get less sides

I'm not to sure on dosages, don't want to do to much tren because of the sides of tren with the insomnia.

I was also looking into doing a short burst cycle say something like 6-8 weeks not so I can get back on cycle quicker but because I am a believer that you stop gaining after a while and I will hopefully recover quicker.

Personally I think you're young, lean, and don't need to go to AAS now.

If you're going to do it anyway, i'd personally run them at 50/50 or run the tren higher. The test is there to make up for shutdown of naturally test production. The tren is your work horse here... so let it do it's work!

[Get hench Die Trying]

Just weighted myself after my three low carb days and I have gone up a kilo I'm now 86kg WFT is going on???

[Get hench Die Trying]

I will be doing my body fat later on today when the misses gets home so I will update later

[gbrice75]

Adding muscle? *shrug* How do you feel, how do you look? Get some pics up asap.

[Get hench Die Trying]

The misses says I'm looking bigger but looking at myself I feel like I am getting better abs I'll get my bf done at measure my body parts again this will give a clearer picture on that's happening

[gbrice75]

Just remember - you'll likely be the worst critic of yourself. If you don't trust the misses opinion (i.e. if she doesn't have a 'trained' eye), post your pics up for us and we'll sort you out!

[Get hench Die Trying]

lol yep. This whole lifestyle is a complete mindfvck.

[--->>405<<---]

usually when cycling carbs i lean more towards liking myself depleted more than when not. although sometimes the day after a carb load when i wake up before i eat anything i think "man now im seeing something"

[gbrice75]

I look like helll depleted. Flat, gross. Once I carb up, veins start popping, and muscles seem to have some 'life'. Gotta love water!

[Get hench Die Trying]

It is a mind fck god knows how I'm gna be when I get on cycle I'll just be pissed off with myself for 3 days a week and pissed off with everyone else for the other 4 days.

I just told the misses I'm getting on tren ace again she told me to go live with my mum lol

[Get hench Die Trying]

You know what else really pees me off is only looking good for one day a week and that's after my carb loaded day the rest of the time I look to fat or to flat :@

[--->>405<<---]

only temporary be glad u look good 1 day a week.. most people look like crap everyday!
