high carb day baby! oh yeh..

u treat high carb days like i do a cheat meal! LOL

WELL just finished legs which completes my workout commitment for the week! now i can rest and do nothing for about 40hrs and then it all starts over again!

managed to lift 6x this week and did 8 cardio sessions. all in 6 days.. looking and feeling leaner. looked pretty good in the gym PWO today. took shirt off and rolled up my shorts real high. was pretty happy! the lighting in there is good and i cojuld see some abs coming thru. quads lookd good.

i actually looked pretty muscular from head to toe! im gonna have to get someone to take a pic of me cuz leaning my phone and standing in front of it does not do me justice!

PWO chikn breast with oats with choc/peanut butter protein powder mixed in and a sliced banana was freaking awesome! if yall get a chance i recommend getting some of that protein powder they sell at walmart (choc peanut butter) and mixing 1scoop in with ur oats and a splash of water to moisten and then slice up a banana and throw it in. its GREAT!

wow...that's alot of cardio for a dude. good job 405

well last weeks wife calipers said 7.88%

this week said 8.00%

now ive done 6days cardio and 5 days no carbs and AM leaner. i suppose at this point im wondering if i should even get her to do it any more. i prob will just to keep from hurting her feelings

:

ummm my 2C...your wife seems very supportive. she may even be helping you shave places you can't reach??? ....so an extremely wise and smart husband would just let her continue to check and 405 just not get upset. just saying...how many guys on this board would luv to have a wife as supportive of their BB/fitness in your hobby?????? i think it wonderful that you have someone who is helping you!

thx GGR

are u psychic?

[< <Samson> >]

Been thinking of kicking my cardio to 2x per day also. . . . . Either that or STFU and take my nice slow progressive losses.

[Tx89]

when i go 2x per day in the am ill do 45mins either all moderate or the above workout i just posted with HIIT at the beginning. my 2nd cardio session is usually 30mins PWO moderate (135-150HR)

this is the first time ive utilized 2x per day cardio but i must say this past week has def been successful as far as losing fat. my body is left with little choice considering im lifting 6 days out of 7 and doing 8-9cardio sessions and not eating any carbs (other than broc and green beans 5 days strait).

Thanks mate! I'll wait for week 2 Progress and then maybe next week Throw in some HIIT Bike Sessions pwo :-)

[GirlyGymRat]

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

well im continuing to like what i see in the mirror. broke into 196lbs this am which is a good sign. i dont put too much credence in weight loss per se but my weight has not gone down (other than depletion) in a couple months. im losing something.. i dont haqve trouble going to sleep by 2100-2130 thats for sure! legs today at lunch.

chest on monday i managed 315 x 4 which is typica for me. i did need a slight spot on the 4th rep but ill take it for being on a cut for 5 weeks. id say 1/2 rep drop on max work set isnt too bad!

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

am fasted cardio HIIT/moderate session done!

2 more days til i get some carbs. it is a bit of a mental challenge only getting carbs 2 days per week!

[scoot]

Hey thx slim.. Yeh ivedone 1 fasted ( monday) and planned on doing more.. Its just tuff getn up so early cuz i have a hard time making myself go to be by like 21:00.. I usually have to be at wk by 07:00 so i have to get up at 04:30ish... Ugh but i plan to try and do it where i can .. I would appreciate the cardio thing by phate when u gt the time.. I usually do fairly well to about 16 % bf.. Ive never been much lower.. I usually hit a brick wall and cant fig out how to get thru it.. Im hoping u guys will be able to help me then

RIGHT! that 15/16% point is a bitch

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

well another day done. i dont think i could go more than 5 days with no carbs. i kinda cheated on my diet today. i was hungry and couldnt get to my food so i has 3.25 oz beef jerky. 14g carbs 210cals.. oh well. i suppose beef jerky isnt much of a cheat!

[< <Samson> >]

Jerky has carbs? word

Yeah, 5 days seems to be my cut off point so far too.


Maybe, I will push it to 6.

no too many but some. today im off from work and have not done anything! will def do some cardio + cut grass. prob will not go to the gym. sitting my lazy butt on the couch rite now LOL.. waist is down to 33 3/4 (1.5") in 2 weeks!

[Tx89]

My grass needs a cut badly, too.
Been bulking for too Long man!

[Brick]

New avi looks sick man!

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

New avi looks sick man!

thx dude!

well wife took bf% today but none of the numbers really dropped. however i now weigh 195.6 (down from 197.something last week) and my waist is down to 33 1/2 from 35" 2 weeks ago. i am also looking a fair amt leaner in the mirror.

not really worried about bf% at this point because the way i see it how could the numbers drop when they reflect i have 7.something% bf when in actuality its closer to prob 11-12%.. so whatever. ill be going to the bod pod in prob 2 weeks. that is gonna be my guide from here on out!

[RaginCajun]

How is it going? I see you are cutting away.

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

Going well thx al!

Have been away since sunday evening. Have a friend in federal prison. He got a furlough for transfer to another facility. I transferred him. Needless to say diet has been gone! Plus tomorrow is my birthday. Next week i go out of town for 2 days. So diet and cutting is gonna be tuff!

[Back In Black]

Mate, are those abs I can see in your avi? Or is it a trick of the light

Started TRT today, hoping it will make me feel 'normal' again!

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

decent chest/back workout today. had a great pump going on! got a few comments on how i look bigger LOL. not bad to hear on a cut i suppose. im sure it is due to the prob 10,000cals worth of fat and carbs i ate over the last few days LOL. also have birthday cake tonite, again at moms house, birthday dinner sat nite, and going out of town for 2 days next week.

man so much for a solid cut rite now. i will not let the cut dictate my diet this time. this time my good time will dictate the diet! i think i have earned that privilege!

[Back In Black]

Well yes, Happy Birthday mate. Good to see you are catching me up, if only for a month!

Happy Birthday 405

25 (or so) homemade choc chip cookies
2big bowls of cereal
macdonalds sausage egg cheese biscuit
hashbrown
baby back ribs
fries
sweet tea
footlong sub
4 big pieces carrot cake (got in my veggies )

and next week i have to go out of town with father in law to a christian rally (dr. david jeremiah) in atlanta so 2 days more of eating!

i suppose i will cancel out all the progress ive made in the 2 weeks ive been cutting at least but what the heck! its over the top i know LOL..

(u asked! )

[bikeral]

I must say. You know how to eat.

Enjoy bro. Sometimes I think you purposefully gain a few pounds so you can cut again.

You are a serial cutter. May want to get that checked out.

LOL yeh ive thought the same thing! i do enjoy cutting but i also enjoy eating which is why i have to cut so much. i guess eating above maintenance then cutting has become my maintenance LOL..

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

well its time for good ole leg day! lets burn some cals.. think my body may be just now transitioning back into cutting after the monday, tuesday gorge fest! still at 199lbs (3.5lbs heAVIER than monday am )

[eazyduzit]

Smash those legs out!!!!

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

well today i have birthday dinner with family gonna have rack of lamb! + homemade chocolate cake.

figd id carb up today as well and then go back to no carbs til thursday when i go out of town..

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

chest/back was awesome today! man i tell u i was looking pumped like a MOFO by the end! lean and very muscular! feel great all of a sudden for some reason. maybe it was all that junk food then 3 days no carbs followed by a pre workout 200g carb refeed that did it!

mental note: 3days low/no carbs; 1 day high carb might be a good strategy! i will prob continue in my 5day low/no; 2 day high for awhile but im gonna keep this in my head for future experimentation.

now for my PWO meal: 1pound chikn breast 1cup oats with scoop protein powder and banana (125g protein, 75g carbs)

[GirlyGymRat]

happy belated birthday 405!!!

homemade chocolate cake....nice wife
