    Cheers bud, yeah refeed days are awesome, tho I feel as so I've earned the treats with all the hard work I've put in though the week

    Don't know whats up with me today, I've done 250g carbs in so far, in like 2.5 hours and im still not satisfied. I will have my last meal in an hour, think I will have complex carb, see if they satisfy me more, greedy bitch I am lol

    My diet and workout are improving all the time, I feel I've had my best week yet this week, im learning all the time.

    I've decided to put most of my carbs around my workout on Saturday.

    This is how I started the day diet wise.

    Breakfast: 2 whole dippy eggs and 2 egg whites with two slices of toasted oat bread.

    One hour and a half later (pre workout) bowl of cereal with one pint of skim milk, large cup of strong black instant coffee.

    Half an hour later: workout: sipped one pint of skim milk during workout.

    HEAVY TENSION GROWTH WORKOUT

    Workout is improving each week. I used Dorian Yates tension overload technique. Also used rest pause to go that little more past fail. (worked out at home today)

    SUPERSETS

    Deadlift - standing calfs

    Flat benchpress - rows

    Incline fly - chin ups

    Db military press - rear delt fly

    One leg squats

    Bicep curl - close grip benchpress

    Abs

    3 working sets of 3-10 reps

    Followed the workout with a post workout meal of one pint of skim milk with cereal.

    I went abit over the top with the carbs yesterday (200g over) I don't think it's hurt me tho, looking pretty lean in the mirror today.

    Got my bodyfat measured, 10.9% think im actually higher then this but its nice to see the numbers going down. Im also down around 7lbs on the scales (since I started the diet)

    no i didnt. to be honest, i think im past that diet now. i have found a better way to get leaner with less effort physically and less drawn out deprivation. i may, however, run it occasionally just for fun to gorge on the carb load!!!! or i may just do a carb load without being depleted! LMAO!!

    and what i mean specifically is i am over the 7 day carb cycle. it is not needed for myself to get good results.

    Yeah, sometimes I think all the suffering is worth it, just to be able to stuff my face with +1000g of carbs

    Would be interesting to see what results you would get using the routine to bulk, I presume it would be a good way to lean bulk and also the routine wouldn't be as nasty because you could have more carbs on your low carb days. Maybe extend the over eating phase to, 4 days over feeding, then 4 days depletion (8 day cycle)

    66i dont like it for lean bulking. i really dont like it for cutting anymore either. it was a stepping stool for me. u will probably find it to be the same thing for u. it is a great teacher, but once u have learned the lesson u no longer need the class, u know what i mean?

    Yeah I get what you mean, probably will be a stepping stone/learning curve for me too. to be honest, I don't think I will continue with this routine once I've finished this stint. Got another 6 week's to go, then not sure which direction I will go.

    a good direction would be to maintain what u have when ur done cutting assuming ur as lean as u would like. this, too, is also a big learning experience of which it has taken me a year to figure out!

    i always got lazy and gained body fat and had to cut again. maintenance can be work! u can also make some LBm growth running maintenance after cutting. i have done so.

    Yeah think that is going to be my plan, running maintenance and working my carbs around my workouts, maybe eat surplus on training days, then eat at a deficit on no training days. Not sure, im getting an urge to bulk. But I don't think that's a good idea. I will wait til winter to bulk. I've been checking out a few diets and workout routines, not sure which I will run yet though.

    looks like ur 2 sets too little there buddy! depletion = 10-12 total sets per large muscle group. if ur only doing 3 sets two days in a row that totals 6 sets: 4 too little.. ??

    Military press x3 - rear delt flys x3

    Bicep curl x2 - close grip benchpress x2

    Had 3 mins rest between each set, workout took 2 and half hours.

    Post workout: 2 pastrami ,salad, and tomato sandwiches with salad cream (full 200g pack of pastrami) and a apple.

    I've put most of my 300g carbs around my workout. I've used around 200g, so got 100g left for the day.

    Gonna have a beef curry with rice later around 7pm, then im Going to eat low carb til tomorrow morning.
