BigC's Maintain Log

**bigcwithane** · 10-29-2010, 09:17 PM

Yeah I'm sticking to it man I just need to really cut and restart and I think this carb cycling will help me maintain most lbm and cut most fat

**bigcwithane** · 10-30-2010, 05:50 PM

Okay so my new cutting diet is a 55/30/15 split. W/o days it will be 2000 cal, off days are 1800 cal. Does this look good?

**gbrice75** · 10-30-2010, 06:27 PM

Protein will probably be too high with that split. You can definitely up carbs to AT LEAST 35, i'd go with 40. Keep fats at 15.

**bigcwithane** · 10-30-2010, 07:04 PM

Okay thanks gb but with this split it is still less than 2g protein per lb of lbm

**bigcwithane** · 10-30-2010, 07:08 PM

It would be 250g protein, 100g carb, 38g fat on off days, 275g protein, 150g carb, 38g fat on w/o days

**bigcwithane** · 10-30-2010, 07:12 PM

I'm also basing this diet off the how to cut thread I just lowers the protein because it is for a 200lb person with 15% bf

**bigcwithane** · 10-31-2010, 08:39 AM

My weekends really killing me. I haven't done any cardio this weekend and diet was trash to me. I'm gonna change the calories up for just a cut because its to Hard to cut fat and build at the same time (should have listend to twist in the beginning) so its going to be roughly 2000 cal w/o day and less on off days I just need help with the split

**bigcwithane** · 11-11-2010, 08:19 PM

Yeah I was sick of ckd too Gbrice it was way to much.

And t body hahaha my belly isn't that bad man. I have pictures up and nothing has changed about me maybe more muscle I hope but that's it. I'm gonna post what i have eaten the last three days tom for critque.also my 5x5 routine and my cardio plans

**tbody66** · 11-11-2010, 09:49 PM

Dude your pics are over a month old, man up. I was trying to look through everything and see your height, I couldn't find it. I want to see that workout as well. I like your base, but think you should be making some incredible gains every month.

**cue_artist** · 11-12-2010, 01:41 AM

Any updates Bigc?

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 07:27 AM

My height is there im 5,10. And there really is no change

**tbody66** · 11-12-2010, 07:33 AM

Okay, I trust you, that's disappointing to hear, cause you have been dialing things in so well and working so hard. If you post in two weeks and there is no change from the original pics, we are going to change everything you are doing. Your first pics showed a good starting point, you should have been able to make noticable progess already.

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 07:34 AM

Update for Thursday. I did 30 min of cardio and my diet was all on track.

Update for Friday. My phone died and my alarm didn't go off so no cardio yet I might do it pwo but I'm not sure because after my w/o I'm pretty much done.

Done as in can't take anymore? Just do low intensity cardio then.

I'm still sayin' if you do that much cardio and your workouts are taking that big of a toll on your body and you still look about the same as over a month ago, we have major issues.

**gbrice75** · 11-12-2010, 08:43 AM

Yea, i'd agree. Something needs to be reworked. Maybe everything

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 08:44 AM

Pretty much my 5x5 has me squaring three days a week. It gets tuff but
I'll atleast get 30 min lit

Hmmm. this is curious. I really think you need to start posting pics. I know you don't want to right now but you need to.
I think I look the same as I did a month ago. I SWEAR when I look in the mirror I see the same guy. BUT the pics clearly tell a different story.

He's right BIGC, let us be the judge because you will never be a good judge of yourself, just like I suck for me and First sucks at judging himself, etc.

okay. i have changed my diet since the first pics and dropped my calories to 2000. but i really cant judge things because the last two weekends or so i stuck to my diet but also ate junk on top of it.

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 09:12 AM

okay i will post after i lift tonight i have to get ready for school im super late. haha
i will also post my diet and workout routine. thanks guys for helping out.. this is the support i need to get stuff done

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 07:08 PM

Update after lift. Lift went really good I thought it would be bad because my knees and legs have been sore from the heavy weight,also forgot today was a late night lift day beca7se my partner had to work so I didn't get cardio in today but sat and sun I will do 60 min, and I may do some extra sessions if I'm not busy, but everything went good diet has been 100% I'm working on pictures and I will post up my current diet guys

**gbrice75** · 11-12-2010, 08:20 PM

Good job bro, looking forward to the pics and diet. Get that cardio done over the weekend for sure!

**First6** · 11-12-2010, 09:00 PM

**bigcwithane** · 11-12-2010, 09:37 PM

I definitely will. Cardio is the thing once I get this discussing fat off I should look good.

**bigcwithane** · 11-13-2010, 08:05 AM

Okay cardio today went good but my legs were so sore I only did 45 min. I did 20 on the bike and then I did a ab circuit then did 25 min on the olyptical. I sweated my ass off on the olyptical. So I know it was good
