Good heavy workout day today. Managed 85lb DBs for seated shoulder press. A personal best for me. Also did 245lbs on incline (another best). Seems im getting stronger. I like this esp considering technically im on a cutting diet!

Take strength gains whenever you can get them and take fat loss whenever you can get that, when you can get both you are truly in the promised land. I am glad to hear about your PB's and stoked to hear about gaining 40 lbs on your bench for reps! You're nose is the only thing that is disconcerting to me, I hope that has nothing to do with your diet...

well the end of week 3 winding to a close. been debating today whether to continue this carb cycle or change to maintenance with maybe some sort of carb cycle associated with it.

weight and bf today: 191lbs 7.93%bf so ive pretty much stagnated at the same point i did last time. other than that i dunno. maybe i need to do something else. im open to suggestion. im beginning to wonder if this is as low as i can get or maybe if this is as low as i can get utilizing UD2.0 with the 7000cal carb load?

i considered cycling carbs in the same fashion but instead of having a 7000cal refeed with 1300g carbs maybe having a refeed with 500g carbs .. id like for my abs to come out more as well.

SteM what u think dude? im kinda bored with ud2.0 considering when i get to 7.8% i tend to stay there. its way too much work just to maintain...

[gonejeepin]

Now that you pointed it out something definately has to be done about that nose, lmao

[--->>405<<---]

ok fellas hows this? better?

also did 60mins cardio this evening. was feeln bored and like im not doing enuff

LOL that was the intent! im still a kid at heart i suppose!

[--->>405<<---]

well i think im gonna work on a difft approach to my diet this week and im running around maintenance cals:
2500cals
300g pro
200g carb
60g fat

had a great day in the gym. did my 1rep max on bench and got 345lbs! thats a personal best for me by 35lbs.. happy camper. i think if i hadnt done 315 and 335 i mite be able to get more than that but ill take it! not bad for a 190lb guy i think..

[gonejeepin]

Congrats on the bench pb, those are crazy numbers ..... Just curious as to how long you were on the ud 2.0 diet and what bf% you were when u started it and how long it took u to get to the 7.8% u are at now.

[--->>405<<---]

i originally did it back in march to prep for a cruise. i cant remember where i was then when i started but i was at 7.8 by the end of april.

this go around i started in the 9's (which took me 2 months of eatn 3000cals per day with no cardio to get from 7.8 to like 9.8) and in 3 weeks i went back down to 7.8..

its effective! i havent tried it from like 12% i did a reg carb cycle to get from 12-13 to 10 and then used ud2 to get from 10 to 8..

now i wanna get to 6!

dang it u got that goin on over there?

[milky01623]

dang it u got that goin on over there?

It's quite common in the BODYBUILDING gym which would be ideal for me
What it is is there are a lot of old school mining attitudes eg "I'm top dog if you don't like it eat my fist" and to make it worse they don't know how to respect juice so I guess roid rage is rife
I'm not sayin they're all like this but I'm also an out off towner from an old rival town and the rivalry would be similar to republicans and democrats lol

[--->>405<<---]

thats very interesting. LOL. u cant go there and just do ur thing without having to be social?

Best thing to do milky! ... My gym is full of guys that are constantly mean mugging, flapping their gums and trying to one-up everyone... I walk in, say hello to the pretty ladies @ the front, turn on the ipod, and don't say a word to anyone till I walk out the door.

LOL thats funny! in case u didnt see im thinking of trying out IF..

[Back In Black]

No, really it's not funny! IF interests me, but not sure I could fit it into my life but I will try, seems more lifestyle friendly than a carb cycle!

[--->>405<<---]

i like the idea of 3 big meals. as long as i can make it til 1300 ill be good!

[RaginCajun]

it is tough at first but gets easier. the one big thing that i notice after i eat lunch (first meal), i have a huge surge of energy, unlike when i use to eat lunch (maybe my 3-4th meal) and ready to find a bed/couch!

[tbody66]
