its the workouts that are the hardest part of this plan, the diet is easy enough (easier than eating, say 300 below maintenance every day all the time)........

Yeah I agree, im a all or nothing kind of guy, can't do inbetween. Tho I will say this, you will have weeks when you struggle, I've done 5 weeks on this now and I have to say I've been fine most of the time, but I've had my moments.

Thing I hate about this routine is been locked in to doing the workouts at specific times. But hell can't argue with the results.

Im aiming for 8 weeks this time. Once I've finished, that's it for me with this routine, it's too demanding. It's taking up too much of my life.

its tough, im not a fan of running so its menatly painful for me, but worth it in the end...........i love all aspects of mma, ive trained boxing on and off since i was younger, and ive been doing muay thai, kick boxing, shoot wrestlig,grappling and mma for a few years (just cant comit becasue of college at the min)

[energizer bunny]

MMA training I used to do was mental. The coach depending on weather it was stand up day or ground fighting day, he would have us all spare or wrestle eachother for 5 mins rounds, you keep swapping partners until you had fought everyone in the room lol so there would be like 10 scraps going on in the hall, when the round was over you would swap partner. So we be sparing for like 2 hours none stop. After two hours you would be destroyed, I used to love it tho. That's where you learn the most is in sparing,

Ive had 11 amateur boxing bouts

The weight is your glycogen stores filled back up, do your muscles feel hard today? Do you look leaner in the mirror?

they looked biggger and were harder......i didnt feel bloated on waking but i wouldnt say i looked leaner, i looked leaner on friday.....but i have been loading with creatine so i will be holding extra water...

i look better after depletion workouts, i.e high reps,,,,some people say they look flat........maybe its a personal thing, maybe some people respond better to higher reps than low.

[energizer bunny]

I noticed your fat was a tad high yesterday on your carb load (100g) you should try to keep it below 50g because believe /it or not your body is burning the most bodyfat it has all week during your carb load, due to all the carbs going to glycogen stores, the body uses fat for energy,the carb load gives you a better blood supply so your body burns from your stubborn fat areas, however if you are consuming high amounts of fat your body won't need to burn stored bodyfat. Just thought that was worth pointing out for something for you to watch out for.

I've got a big box of that new branflake golden clusters for my next carb up, I like to have pasta for one of my meals (a big serving (150g) but I agree not too much, because it's filling,I might try low fat oven chips this week too, (love chips) gonna try to limit sugar this week (apart from the lemon curd on teacakes lol) I drink alot of milk too, get most of my protein from skim milk (with my cereal) Lyle says lactose is ok and milk is quality protein, so must be a winner

They do lion bar cereal, love lion bars, will have to see if I can get my hands on some of that.
took me a couple of weeks to get my carb load right, it's just a case of trial and error.

Im down in weight a stone on my depletion days, then on carb days I shoot up half a stone.
