I still have a few more questions for you. Do you think that the carbs that i eat pre-workout are giving me energy at all during my workout? absolutely! It only takes a few minutes to help someone recover from training induced low blood sugar when some carbohydrates are ingested.

I'm talking pre-workout here though, but I think you mean that they get in your system pretty fast so they'll definitely help pre-workout, right? i mean, do they have the time to reach my glycogen stores? I'm currently taking in 30g carbs via oats, along with a 50g whey shake pre-workout, and bcaa's during. skip whey and bcaa's and use only liquid egg whites for amino acids/protein and mix them with a cup of yogurt. Keep oats in as welldo you recommend to mix them in yogurt to hinder the taste or something, or is it to help digestion? .on non-workout days, i thought about eating carbs for the first two meals of the day, and then eating pro-fat meals till bed time. Sounds good? i would take carbs in first 3 meals of day, every day, regardless of whether you work out or not inorder to prevent muscle loss and blood sugar crashes. You mentionned earlier though to only eat carbs for breakfast, pre-workout, and post-workout on training days. So what you mean here is, on NON-workout days, to have my first three meals P+C meals? Should I include fat in my breakfast? I saw that you've been recommending that.Also, is it safe to re-mix my hcg in the same vial that held my last 5000 iu's? yesone last question. Is it okay to switch the few exercises that stall during the middle of a reload? For example, i've used incline bench for my first reload, and now 5 weeks into my second reload i'm losing reps on it, so i thought i'd switch it with something else before my deload shows up..if you are losing reps then you are over-trained or dieting down hard enough to lose strengthI'm not dieting, and I would not think that I am overtraining either...you do not think that one can adapt to an exercise when over-using it? thanks!

above

Thank you!

I do not believe the body adapts to certain exercises and then becomes weaker. In fact, its just the opoosite given you are training properly! Change exercises if joint pain occurs or during deloads. When dieting down you need to add more healthy fats for breakfast in the way of whole eggs and add more smart balance peanutbutter into your diet at night. Try eating 6 whole egg for breakfast and cut carbs latter in day a bit to compensate for caloric increase. The fats help take off the water bloat allowing you to become more define and the fats help you maintain strength. Also, you need an oral steroid such as (40 mgs of anavar daily to increase atp levels) along with tren ( i like acetate mixed with enanthate version best) and test (i like sustanon) to prevent getting weaker when focusing on getting harder.
