Alright cool.
I'll give you a few details.
Workout:
I tried really focusing on negatives. Although I found it to be different and I got a decent pump from it I found it really easy to slack off and lose good form. i really had to focus on each rep and I ended up just not liking it. Plus it is really hard to do properly by yourself in my opinion. Recently I went to slow lifting. I love it so far. I am doing all my reps 3-5 seconds up and 3-5 seconds down (depends on the excersize) It allows me to still focus on the negative movement but for some reason it is just MUCH easier to keep perfect form. I am getting a crazy good pump from it. Muscles feel like they are going to split open. I have not been doing it long but I can def tell I will grow off of it.
Diet:
I took my cals up and up and up just to see how much I could eat before I stoped losing fat. Problem was I made a few workout changes during this time and was inconsistant. So the fat come on much faster than I had anticipated. Can't even put into words how fast I gained the fat. It was almost like overnight! (but then again my body truly is one that wants to retain fat) At that time I was taking in about 2600 sometimes 2800 cals a day. I changed things up to cut the fat again and ended up with a lot of black and pinto beans in the diet. It was great but eventually i did develop a problem with bloat. Just felt uncomfortable all the time. Had a problem with gas now and then to.... a nice bonus. With the cals backed off to 2100 and the cardio back up (and an epic cheat day once a week) I dropped the newly gained fat fairly easily. So now I was back where I started almost a month later.
Then almost by accident I found myself doing something I always said I would never do. I developed a very low carb diet (about 40g of carbs /day-only from veggies and a couple from a shake) and jumped in with both feet. No idea why I did it. I have never been a fan. It just kind of happened. This was a week ago and I feel great. It is strange though... I have never been in a situation like this. I CANT eat enough! I am trying to eat 2400cals a day but on my best day I only got down 2200. I feel full all the time. Must be all the protien lol. (when I had carbs in the diet eating 2400 a day still left me hungry, sometimes very hungry)
Still doing the cheat day. It works for me. I make myself so sick on junk food (NOTHING is off limits) that for the next 6 days staying 100% on diet is not only easy it is mentally what I WANT. The junk food in the cuboard is the last thing I think about.Last edited by First6; 03-02-2011 at 12:46 PM.

You aren't hungry because you are lacking the insulin spike you get from carbs. It's not necessarily a good thing though. I would not suggest staying low carb for long if muscle gain is your prime interest. I don't know what you look like anymore though so hopefully you didn't gain too much fat. Email me some pics bro.
Overall I am happy to say that your diet knowledge is impressive. You seem to be figuring out how your body works and that is a benefit that is unmeasurable.

No I gained maybe 2% and it is already back off. I have less fat than last time you saw me. Less than in my AVY.
My knowledge is coming along but i have a long way to go. That is why the experiments though. "knowing something" is garbage without being able to back it up with science or experience.
On the low carb - sending a pm

If you are lower bf than your avy just add carbs back in bro. No need to be low carb and low bf. I can send you some great workouts but Idk your equipment. Email me so I can send you the workouts.

Yeah I will (soon) I am not really doing it to lower fat. Although that will be a nice outcome if it happens. I am doing it as a knowledge builder and experiment on my own body.
I will try to make time to shoot a pic or 2 this weekend and send them to you. Maybe you can post them here for me to.
YEAH!! I would love to get some workouts from you! Sick Bro! thanks.
stay tuned for pm on the equipment........or on second thought maybe I will just post it here. I'll let ya know.Last edited by First6; 03-03-2011 at 02:59 PM.
