    Cool t-gunz - prime and drop BF%

    hey guys

    aim to prime and drop 5% BF.

    15% to 10%
    5'11
    91kg
    15%

    GOAL : aiming to get to 10%

    BMR/TDEE 2900 cals

    carb cycling via marcus priming thread.

    3 low carb 40% less maintenance and one day high carb 15% higher than maintenance


    2900 cals = maintenance

    40/40/20

    1160 protien
    1160 carbs
    580 fat

    protein 290
    carbs 290
    fat 64


    ok so

    3 low 40% less carbs

    290 carbs - 40% = 116g carbs LOW DAY

    protein 290g, carbs 116g fat 64g

    HIGH DAY 15% more

    = 290 carbs + 43 = 330 grams

    protein 290g ,carbs 330g. Fat 64


    before i get into the more in depth diet did i work this out right?

    4 time a week weights 45-50 mins
    PWO 30-60 mins bike, jogging on beach. 4-6 times a week


    once i get the ok i will create a diet to get critique

    Everything looks correct to me man. I'm assuming you will have carbs pre and post WO only on low days?

    Make sure you monitor your progress closely to make sure you're not losing LBM. You might end up having to increase protein and fat on low carbs days to keep total cals from dropping too low (I figured your low carbs day at 2200cal).

    Keep us posted and good luck.

    I would do carbs breakfast, pre, and pwo (~50g each).

    I have primed (using marcus' layout) before my last couple cycles and let me tell you it makes a WORLD of difference. Gains are lean and mean! Good luck bro!

    x2 on the bold. Other than that, I think you have a good plan bro, keep us posted with your progress. Before and after pics would also be helpful.

    good to hear about the prime.

    hell i might not even cycle i just like the layout and its something different instead of same amount each day.

    out of interest did you short burst cycle or run a standard 12 + week cycle ?

    Ok m8, a little advise from me...

    I would sit you at mtnce cals as below...

    2552 cals

    A 40:40:20 breakdown is standard but im gonna shift the P up a bit and the C down...

    285 P
    225 C
    57 F

    Above is a balanced day for you sitting just about at ur mtnce cals... Below are two other options that fit together... If you do one one day you must do the othe one on another day ( the average of the two equals the above mtnce cals day)...

    Low carb day (non training days)

    285 P
    100 C
    57 F


    High carb day ( big training days )

    285 P
    350 C
    57 F



    So basically i do recomend cyclying carbs but I much prefer to plan the carb re-feeds when you actually need them... The way marcus does it your low carb days could be on heavy training days and ur high card days could be rest days.... I can actually see a benefit to this aswell because it will force your body to dig deep to get energy when it needs it most.....

    Anyway I prefer to do it as follows...

    2 x high carb days ( on big body part days )
    3 x low carb days ( on non training days )
    2 x mtnce days ( on the other 2 training days, hopefully smaller bodyparts)

    My higher carb days will normally be on mon ( legs ) and Thu ( back )



    I reccomend you start at that and increase ur cardio each week while monitoring the scale.... Once you reach the maximum amount of CV u wanna do per week and your weight loss has plateau'd you will then need to begin dropping carbs (energy)... I reccomend you fo this by swapping one of the high carb days and making it a low carb day... I would also drop all energy intake (carbs and fats) by 10%.....

    Now lets see a diet....


    My diet recomendations...

    No dairy
    No sugar
    Limit/ no fruit (berrys are ok)
    Keep all carbs around training and at breakfast
    Some higher GI carbs before training is good IMO
    All other carbs need to be good low GI sources
    Oats, lentils, brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato..... Baked potato, white rice, (b4 training)
    One cheat meal per week is ok but make sure ur diet is 100% for every other meal in the week!


    Train hard as normal, hit ur cardio with good intensity (dont pay too much attention to 'Low intensity/ medium intensity/ high intesity)...

    I have found that the stepmill is the best cardio you can do...

    High incline power walk is also good... Just push it hard and dont skimp out on the cardio....

    Good luck

    Cant w8 to see ur progress

    Try and keep plenty of EFA's in there too bro...

    Because you fats are gonna be low u need to make sure that if u do add any fats into ur diet they are the best they can be...

    If ur eating a good diet of 3-4 meat meals etc... You will only maybe have 25-35g of additional fat that you can add in..

    I would look to get 10-15 fish caps and the rest of the aditional fat come from EVOO, EUDO's, avocado, fish or nuts...

    If your priming for a cycle don't divert from the process, only to extend the low carb days or shorten them. Remember your creating a very anabolic environment for when you start the cycle and if this process is taken over many weeks you will open the growth window and you will be amazed by the gains you can make when you start the short cycle or any length cycle come to mind. Listen to your body daily and watch how it changes and adjust accordingly to your reactions, remember your priming for a cycle.

    Ive made the best gains of my life with this method of priming and cycling and once I found out how to manipulate this method to my advantage I never went back to any normal way of cycling

    thanks for both inputs.

    i like the idea of sitting maitance cals at 2552


    285 P
    225 C
    57 F


    love it.

    so im thinking applying that at still 3 low and 1 high.

    base. i know where you are coming from about low carbs at high intensity days. but to be honest i like the low carbs and still have hard sessions. e.g. legs. reason. it makes it more mental to push through it. and if i can do that with my mind to physically push then i should be able to mentally apply it to my diet and keeping it clean. since ive failed so many times.

    make sense?

    and how i will get the diet up and you guys can grill me from there.

    thanks again for your time base and marcus

    I have done both short burst cycles (8 weeks prop and oral winny) and 12 week cycles as well after priming. I primed about 3 months before my 8 week short burst cycle and saw the best gains of my life. Granted during my prime I dropped body fat all the way down to 8% so my body was really deprived so when I started aas and upped the cals gains came on quickly. What amazed me was the gains (~20 lbs in 8 weeks) were mostly lean/dry gains. So in my experience the longer you prime before a cycle the better!

    i have a habbit of failing via dieting. cravings really get to me. these were with high protien and fats diet and very low carb.

    Yeah I did 3 low (~150g) and 1 high (~250-300) throughout the whole prime. When I got on cycle I kept carbs around 200 everyday. I did pwo cardio 4 days a week at 20mins (about 65% MHR) and tried to do morning cardio once or twice per week for 30 mins at 65$ MHR

    I finished up a cut, kept carbs low 110-120g on off days and 150-160 on training days. Just recently upped the macros for a lean bulk eating roughly 240-270g of carbs and have put on 5lbs and and still cutting bf in 2 weeks. And yes I am now on cycle prop and tren ace and not holding any water to speak of.

    cool mate do you have a log on the cycle hopefully get to see before and after pics.

    do you feel the prop kick in quickly from priming?

    Immediate noticeable difference in strength, the steady influx of carbs set me off, felt a little bloated for a couple of days, made some adjustments and feel lean all day and eating like a pig. It's like i'm averaging a half a pound a day increase in weight and getting leaner.
    As far as a log goes I got see if I can make the time a lot of new changes in my life recently.

    What is a 'protein and carb shake'? What are the carbs?

    protein is from bulk nutrients. the carbs and like next to nothing.

    and the carb shake is dextrose.

    Looking good, don't rush anything or push to much when priming the key is slowly do it and adjust if needed. After around the 2nd to 3rd week the body seems to adapt to the process so at this stage ive found instead of staying with 3 days low increase it to 4 low 1 high. This will increase the sensitivity of the body and make the muscle receptors get more excitable thus creating this special environment once you start cycling and eating to grow. You can adjust daily like i mentioned above if you feel its needed but slowly is the key to success and once you have done this for around 8 weeks you will be in a very powerful position once you start your cycle.

    Thanks for compliment bro. I have a thread on here that shows my current cycle but I have never posted pics. To be honest, I don't think I will ever achieve my "ideal" level of fitness to where I would feel comfortable to post pics. I know I should just grow some balls and post pics but I'm a perfectionist which makes it even tougher.

    be great to see a thread i agree. your legs are impressive mate.
    This is the first I have heard about lime in water. I have read and tried using lemon in my water to detox the body and it works nicely. I have also noticed is seems to be a natural diuretic as I normally get alittle leaner in appearance and veins become more prominent.
