Stem can't have your thread lost to page 2...
^^ good work al! ;)
stem tighten up man!
Balls, I was hoping this could slip quietly away!
Well, since tweaking my back I went away for a lovely, expensive, though wet, couple of days. In 2 weeks I have only lifted 3 times and done 2 fasted cardio sessions. Back feels ok but will give it a light test with some Romanian deadlifts in today's leg workout. Then I'll sit on a bike for 30 mins and watch the conclusion of todays tour de France stage!
Weighed in yesterday at 176 which I'm happy with. TBH my carbs are too high to really cut back down to 8% but I will keep them as they are and work more on a recomp than a cut.
well i hope ur back gets better. i remember the last time i think u were trying to move a fence or something. be more careful with that back mate!
Hey steM how's it going sorry to hear about your back man hope your recomp/cut goes well,I've just got back so I'm just dropping by
injuries stink! but u at least u know what to do :)
CARBS = evil. I think they SATAN.
Nooooooooooooo! Carbs are good. The right ones at the right time anyway!Quote:

Hey stem, just started following this thread and I came across this post. I am curious how bcaas fit into a diet and how you calculate the protein content? I saw a product called 100% bcaa and Id like to know how it works and what it does for someone bulking.Quote:

I don't like eating within 30 mind of the end of exercise (cardio or lifting) so I take 10g BCAA's instead. Then I eat a normal meal.
I stopped taking them before fasted cardio due to the minor insulin spike they give.
I do like taking 10g before lifting though, I do find my energy levels are slightly better.
If I didn't get BCAA's cheap enough then I wouldn't bother with them. Much more useful when cutting rather than bulking.
^^ ive still got a whole tub of purple wraath in my bathroom i havent touched in months. maybe i should throw it in my gym bag? i have pretty much eliminated all protein powders/BB supps.. but i suppose especially on low carb days itd help with depletion workouts? i will chk for carbs i dont know if it has any or not.
Update- up until Monday I had lifted 4x in 17 days. This week I am back in the game. My back still grieves me a little and a had 2 days of menu tasting at the weekend but I've done 3 good cardio sessions and lifted twice. Think I'm gonna update this as Bikeral does, seems the best way. So-
Monday
Chest and bi's and a combo of HIIT and LIC cardio
Tuesday
45 mins fasted cardio
Wednesday
Back and cardio of HIIT/LIC/interval
Weigh in day tomorrow!
I assume the "TOUR" is making you lazy, lol. I also assume you have been watching it everyday right? I would like to give props to team BMC for having the most breakdowns possible, lol. Good luck on the weigh in bro.
I love 'Le Tour'! I'm fortunate that I don't work in the afternoon (actually, not any time at the moment) so its on in the background live as it happens. If I'm lucky I can coincide the conclusion of a stage with my gym cardio!Quote:

I think the tack incident was sketchy at best, well I will settle for a british 1, 2 as long as Tejay still does well!!
Sagan is rolling, Wiggins seems to be an ok athelete too, lol. Yes team SKY is ok I suppose, lol J/K
Thursday
44mins LIC - eliptical and incline walk
Weight 178.25 up 1lb on last week (not good) and up 8lbs overall!
I thought u were cutting?? Need some diet advice mate?? LOL ;)
It's a northern thing we always do the opposite lolQuote:

I think I look leaner than last week though. Lose 2-3lbs of fat and I will up the carbs a little again.
looks like a mini-cut/bulk! gonna try to get my road bike next week!
Hey stem just checking in. Looks like you are back on track. Keep the log going, its one extra reason to get it done.
Good luck with the new business. I know I could not work with food. I'd eat all the profits.:wg:
Delts and tri's done. Followed by 35mind HIIT/LIC on treadmill.
You should be packing lolQuote:

Weekend went pear shaped-no training and poor diet!
Monday - legs plus 35 mins cardio
Tuesday - 40 mins fasted cardio
Back to packing up the house.
Oh yeah, summer finally arrived over here:)
At least on the bonus side your getting in the gym that alone can't b easy what with moving too ;-)Quote:

It was quite unsuccessful. But yeah, I'd rather be 170 and lean than 185 and fat. Hoping to soon be in a position to retake control if my life and go for it again!Quote:
