    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.

    You know we can't allow that. Hope the back gets better soon.

    Nooooooooooooo! Carbs are good. The right ones at the right time anyway!

    Back was ok on RDL's but I only did 60kg (132lbs) at 20 reps.

    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.

    Good read so far, only on page 4 lol but subscribed now!

    Good luck brother!!!

    Welcome dude.

    I don't calculate macro's from BCAA's as they are so minimal.

    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.

    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!

    Yeah, BMC had it a bit rough but props to Sky in the 'tack incident' the other day. Roll on Sunday, hoping for a British one two!

    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!!

    Yeah, that's what menu tasting does. Despite the extra cardio!

    I think I look leaner than last week though. Lose 2-3lbs of fat and I will up the carbs a little again.

    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.

    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!
