Ah, carb coma's! I remember them well!

yeh funny thats a good description..

well i woke up this am and did me 40mins fasted cardio.. with cardio anymore (except when i do HIIT in the beginning) im mainly just bored.. my HR today was tuff to keep at 135BPM on the same setting i used when i was fat that put me to 155-160BPM.. it didnt seem any less effortful (<--that word looks weird for some reason?) as far as how much energy it required but it was easier to breathe than before and my HR was lower..

at lunch today i get to do depletion workout round #2.. boy am i excited after yesterday

Oh my freaking goodness!!! Ugh...

Just finished depletion workout #2... needless to say im exhausted.. Yesterday it took 1:43.. Today it took 2:07.. And that wasnt 2 hrs of me picking my nose at the water fountain(we dont have one) or looking at myself in the mirror.. It was 44 sets x 15 reps of the most exhausting exercise ive done in my life..

One weird thing ive noticed is today and yesterday about 1/2 the way thru i stop sweating and my mouth gets real dry.. Id like to note i prob drank 80-100 oz water before i lifted so im confused? Is it cuz i havent had carbs since monday at lunch and so im still dehydrated even though i drink a ton of water? Cuz the first hr i sweat my butt off.. Then all of a sudden it stops.. Today it started back when i finished on legs..

Id also like to note that i take a break halfway thru and its when i start back i dont seem to sweat..?? Thank the Lord i dont have to lift again til friday! But i dont get any carbs til post workout friday.. This routine is freakng BRUTAL!!

44 sets is a lot of anything! maybe your body cooled itself off in that time and it doesn't 'feel' the need to sweat, or cool off? this is good that you are very aware of your body, looking to see what others say.

well guys i woke up this morning sore as heck and stiff and a little tired so..no cardio... i may do some at lunch but im not gonna beat myself up about it thats for sure

other than that everythings good.. 1400cals isnt too bad.. i suppose cuz my previous carb cycle was 3 days at 1800 so not a lot of difference there.. ECA does help as well.. this is my last full day in deficit.. tomorrow is the highly anticipated carb LOAD! 1250g carbs.. i cant wait! alot of guys ingest a fair amt of their carbs with liquid but im doing all food! i like to eat

[bikeral]

No cardio what a biatch j/k

Enjoy your carb load tomorrow.

[havehotasianwife]

enjoy carbs!!!! almost friday for me!!

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

well just so yall dont think im a total sorry butt im gonna go to the tanning bed and then do a 5mile run about 1800

[BrownGirl]

Have fun! And enjoy your carb load!

[bikeral]

well just so yall dont think im a total sorry butt im gonna go to the tanning bed and then do a 5mile run about 1800

I have a lot of respect for ya. Just busting balls and hopefully motivating you.

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

^^ nah its cool man i appreciate it.. i tend to push myself fairly well.. managed 5miles tonite in under 40mins which was a bit tuff since all ive had carb-wise since monday is broccoli.. i got it dun though

tomorrow this time im sure im gonna be dead tired.. but ill have a belly full of cereal!

[bikeral]

Fantastic. Enjoy

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

alright guys another 11hrs or so and the carb load begins ive been feeling kinda crappy and extremely tired the last 24-36hrs.. i suppose due to the depletion workouts and cardio.. maybe ive never depleted glycogen before.. def never felt like i have with the fatigue and slight nausea as well as upset stomach (in the last 36hrs) even with my previous carb cycle..

one big workout stands between me and 1250g carbs.. i am supposed to be noticeably leaner sunday after the carb load as well as have fuller muscles.. we'll see.. i must say i look leaner now but flat weighed 182.0 this am..

[Back In Black]

Are you doing pics this weekend? I shall be very upset if you look better than me

Good luck with the carb load mate, I know you are looking forward to it but I used to feel over full, fat and bloated by the end of only 500g carbs in 18 hours!

pics i can do.. we'll see howi look after the carb load.. and i like to eat and have a huge appetite! itll be interesting to see how i fare.. ill be sure to keep a running update..

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

Well the carb load has begun! Man it was a great first meal:

1 banana
16oz orange juice
2 scoops whey
1 1/2 cups oats

Only been an hour and im ready for meal 2.. The CEREAL!! yeh

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

^^ he also suggests creatine loading so i had 6g of creatine too.. The workout went well.. No problem.. I suppose the oj helped

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

well the carb load is going great (as i figured it would).. ive had 6 bagels this am so far.. 2more to go plus 3cups oats and 36oz sweet potatoes.. im trying to pace myself or i could run out of food! i can eat man

[bikeral]

Dude I am jealous. Enjoy it. Hope you have a great weekend.

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Under 10% bf now? Good work man, i've jumped into this a little late but from the start i see you were at 21%. Quite an accomplishment! Looking forward to the pics.

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

well i had a long lunch (2hrs) and went to my moms house.. finished off my 8 bagels and a cup of oats and had to take a nap LOL..

SteM so u know im finding i have to pace myself on these carbs so i dont run out of food! 1250g isnt that hard to eat in 24hrs... ive got 2 cups oats and 36oz sweet potatoes left to go and im hungry rite now! gonna wait til 1500 to eat some sweet pot but i could finish all i have left and still have alot of time and prob hunger before bed if i wanted to..

[baseline_9]

Looking forward to seeing pics if you can post them tommorow the day after carbing up....

I bet the first few card meals felt amazing...

dude it was freaking awesome! especially that 950calorie bowl of cereal i hadnt had in literally 6months! the 10 bagels ive eaten since last nite and today with fat free creme cheese and sugar free jam were awesome too! i cant wait til next week to do that again!LOL..

yeh ill be taking some pics tomorrow for sure.. startn to see veins in upper abs.. abs r showing thru little by little as well.. even getting veins in my quads now.. pretty cool!

[Back In Black]

Fair play mate, still sounds like a lot of food although I do love a bagel or 2 with marmalade and. I could probably stomach a lot of oats in one day.

Actually, today is the last day of my cut an I've been starving for about a month now. Reckon I could polish off a lot of grub if I allowed myself too!

Hope you manage to ration the rest of the day!

Did your m say 'you look thin son' and offer to feed you up like my mam does?

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

Lol.. Funny u mention it.. She said, "son u look stacked, as we said in our day. Im glad i dont have to worry about anybody messing with u. You look so powerful." LOL.. then she askd my dad to comment on how muscular i look..

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

well its day6 of the 7 day cycle.. because i always chek my bf% on sunday mornings im sticking to it now.. its the day after the carb load and i think its a good day to do it anyways..

last week on march 28(5days ago) weighed 186lbs at 9.09% -->9site parillo

today weight: 183.5lbs at 8.17%bf -->9site parillo

will do it on sundays from here on out again.. so a def drop in bf and i appear leaner in the mirror and feel leaner as well so a good first week!

not sure if weight is all the way back up from the carb load but i ate : 6599/263g pro/1302g carbs/53g fat consumed 200oz water and 20g creatine so i did everything right.. book says if i did it rite i should feel and be leaner which i am and do..

[Back In Black]

Great work mate. That's a lot of cals:-)

Pics later?

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

current total weekly cals = @15,200

previous carb cycle weekly cals = @15,300

so it works out

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

alright fellows time for the heavy workout.. will holler when im dun!

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Whatsup 405, Did you start your carb cycling once you got around 10% bf? and just stuck to basic high protein moderate carbs prior to 10%?

[baseline_9]

Sounds good.... BF dropping is a good sign that its working out for u... Pics every week from here on out along with the skin fold and the weight...

Lets see u get down to 6%!
