Cutting with One seems more and more popular. Have you heard of people, while cutting actually gain LBM? By this I mean advanced lifters.

I am thinking of a modified bulk. What I am thinking of is a slight calorie surplus (2800 on non-training days and 3200 on training days) but mostly protein and fat. The only carbs will be 100g dextrose during and after workouts. 1/2 cup oatmeal in the AM. 400g carb up once per week, prolly Sunday and no fats those days. I want a really CLEAN bulk this time.

Yeah i've heard of the cutting success with ONE. Thats why i'm using it. I don't feel comfortable getting any fatter than i am so i'll use it to prevent muscle loss and maybe gain a few lbs if i eat my ass off during my refeeds. The only reason i'm waiting for after the new year is the fact that its going to be difficult to keep up a normal diet during the holidays. I'll probably be travelling and all that.

That sounds like a good plan. You might actually be able to lose fat and gain some LBM if you don't raise your cals too high. When are you planning on starting this?

That is my hope. Worst case scenerio is a gain LBM and stay the same BF%, which is fine, I'll cut later. But if I can LOSE BF while gaining that would be awesome. It would then allow me to "bulk" for longer and begin my true cut much closer to contest time.

I am going to start my next cycle (then do 2 or 3, 3 week cycles) the second full week of Jan.

Thats cool TP. I guess we're both starting the next phase of our training after the new year, i wonder why? lol.

I'm not giving up the opportunity to stuff my face with anything i want these few times a year damn it!

Posted by: Yanick

This hasn't been much of a journal lately. Thats cause i'm going through some shit in my life right now. I'll start seriously updating this thing after the new year. As of now all i'm doing is my post cycle therapy, eating a lot and working out. I'm looking mighty fat lately. Its kind of freaking me out, i have to keep telling myself its for a good cause. Anyhow, i'll cut after the new year, this time to my ultimate goal of - Abs. I don't care what my bf is, as long as i look good in the mirror.

Posted by: P-funk

Don't worry about the extra fat. You know how to get rid of it. When cutting don't worry about weight or body fat, you hit it right on the head, THE MIRROR NEVER LIES!

Posted by: Yanick

cutting should be easy, especially since i'll be using my 1-test for cutting. If the stupid ass FDA wouldn't fuck everything up i would wait till i was a bit older and start stacking shit to get some serious ass results.

Posted by: Yanick

Yesterday was a fuckin awesome workout. I progressed on everything by exactly one rep, lol. I was happy to finally see some type of progression. That week where i regressed got me scared, i hope all is well now.

Damnit man, you got me. I have been sitting here for a while thinking of a smart ass reply for that comment and I just can't get anything. I guess I'm just going to kill myself, Gothe For Life.

Side note:
Woke upthis morning and checked myself in the mirror: I am cut as hell. I am thinking about doing a clean bulk for a couple of weeks before my final cut. Maybe I will start my real cut in Febuary, what do you think?

Posted by: Yanick

will there be any deca involved?

Posted by: P-funk

no deca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I all natural motha F*cka!
All natural damit!!!

Posted by: Yanick

Pat,

if your not a full out juice head by 2004, i will very disappointed.

Posted by: P-funk

I am just as strong if not stronger than most people on juice. I don't need that shit, I am an absolute animal. Grrrrrrrr. lol

Posted by: Yanick

if only your were less of a pussy and didn't mind getting a little fat. You would be fookin huge again?

Having fun back home? When are you flying in?

Posted by: P-funk

I'm copming home Sunday:

LET THE CUT BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Yanick

Those lunches with Dennis will be a killer though, lol.

Back to my journal. I think pages 4 on have been nothing but talk, lol.

Wasn't much to report though, my number have increased. I shoulder press 60's now on the seated shoulder press (catching up to Rob and TP

) press downs have been progressing like mofo's i'm at 80+lbs on them and the machine only goes to bout 120 or so. I'll be racking it in no time. The dumbells in my gym also only go up to 85lbs, so i'll probably have to find a more hardcore gym then.....Bally's. The secrets out, yes i work out at bally's, but hey i was an idiot 3 years ago and thought bally's was some kind of 'hardcore' gym.

Anyway, this journal will become an actual journal the first full week of the New Year, where i'll be starting my cut/1-T cycle.

I curl those.

I military pressed 205 last week for 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 7, 6.

First three sets were several reps short of failure, middle three were 1 short and last was to failure.

Hang in there though!

I'll be watching. What product, what dose, how long, and what diet?

Last time i trained shoulders, i nailed 4 solid reps with the 88lbers, which was a 1 rep progression of an old (very old) personal best.

Which i was well chuffed about.

But yeah, 60's above the ol' noggin are where it's at.

I'm not missing the gym as much as i thought i would though. Taking a much needed rest.

All i know for now is i'm using ONE. Dosage, diet and all will be figured out by Sat/Sun. Diet will probably be a DP type diet with lower carbs, and an altered carb up.

Happy New Year everyone!

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Happy New Year to you too Yan....go crazy

Posted by: Yanick

Thanks DP.

Its the NY and nothing really crazy went on yesterday/today morning. It was actually a very uneventful NY for me. Hope everyone else had some better experiences.

Posted by: Yanick

I'm really fookin sick. I haven't been to the gym this whole week, only some push ups and pull ups at home but thats it. I also have no fuckin appetite, i have no idea how much weight i lost, but i feel like a lazy fuck.

I've also been sitting home for about 48h straight, and i'm about to start breaking things. Hopefully i'll be better by next week, when i start my cut.

Posted by: QueenofSquats

Hey Yan,
Why are you not going to the gym? As you mentioned you are going through some stuff in your life, same as me, the only thing which is keeping me sane is going to the gym, if you want to chat, maybe I can suggest something to get you out of this phase, you have been a good friend to me and I wish I can do the same in return.

Posted by: Yanick

QoS,

that stuff that i was talking about was the fact that i lost my job around the holidays, and my progression in the gym was none. I was sort of in a rut. But i'm fine now.

I would LOVE to go to the gym, however my rational mind is telling me to stay away until i get better. I've been pretty sick all week, and the New Years party that i went to, which sucked, messed me up even more. I've had a fever and have been coughing up my lungs for about two days now, friday being the third. When i get sick like this, i know that i need to stay away from the gym. I don't know what it is, but i've always been a sickly child, i used to get sick a lot more, maybe 5 times a year. After i started bb'ing though, i'm down to 1 maybe 2 times a year. But i know by now, that when i get sick i need to get to 100% before i start going to the gym and all that.

Posted by: QueenofSquats

I hope you get well soon, sorry to hear you lost your job, sometimes things like these happen 'cause there is something better around the corner.
You will find a better job in 2003, my best wishes and good luck.

Posted by: P-funk

Damn man, I was in the middle of posting and the I had to close everything becsause I saw Alfred walking over to my desk to talk to me (stupid s.o.b.) lol.

Anyway, I sounds like you are really sick. Sometimes if I have a little cold I will still go to the gym and sweat it out but I think you are much better staying home right now (I would). The break will be good for you, you will be able to get in there Monday and be really rested. Also since you have been sick for so long you probably have lost some weight.......starting that cut off on the right foot!!!! get well soon.

Posted by: Yanick

Thanks QoS. Hopefully you're right and a better opportunity is around the corner. God i hated that job, but it paid well (for a H.S. kid that is).

Pat,

you wanna know how many lbs i lost? NONE!! although i ate like shit, i made sure to pack the cals in. I'm at a dehydrated 192.0lbs today. The only water i've been getting is the water from food, and the 80cups of tea a day, lol.

I'm gonna try to bang out a diet today, if i have time. Also pat head over to Avant and check out the garbage board, i started a marijuana thread, i dunno if anyone replied yet, though.

Posted by: P-funk

Marajuana board, eh!! My eyes are getting blood shot just thinking about it.

Posted by: P-funk

Ok, I checked it out but I am not a member there so I couldn't post a reply to here is my reply:

Like everything it is good in moderation. I do however think that it is better than drinking, it just gets a bad rep because alcohol is legal and socially acceptable. However; alcohol is a complete toxin, it is poison to your system and I feel that there are many more health conserns with over doing alcohol than marijuanna. But all are best in moderation, I rarley ever smoke pot anymore, not even once a week...more like once a month IF THAT. I did go through a phase in my life were I was smoking a ton of pot, it was fun and I don't regret doing it but I will never go there again, I guess I just out grew that. I also did go through a phase in my life were I drankn a ton (daily), I don't regret doing that either and again I will never go back to that phase. It is good that at 18 you have such healthy hobby (bodybuilding). When I was 18 and even younger when I started lifting I was into it but I was still into smoking pot and drinking. Then when I really got into BB it took over my life but I was still young at heart, having just turned 21 (now being 23 I am a little bit wiser... a little bit). I would go out with my friends and not drink at bars because I was so into bodybuilding, it wasn't fun, I was into lifting but I still wanted to go out and get crazy and I was forcing myself not to (not good). So, I know you know that I used to be a big bodybuiler and I told you that the reason that had I stopped and lost 40lbs (40lbs of hard earned muscle that I worked so hard for) was because I didn't want to be big anymore and I though it was stupid...WRONG. I stopped because I regressde into my former self for that time(a year to be exact) and I started drinking and smoking everyday because I felt that that was what was important in my life (I lost site if my priorities). It was stupid of me, alcohol and pot in excess like that didn't do anything for me. And it took an 18 year old punk sitting next to me at my shit job, yes I am talking about you, to help me remember the things that used to be, should have still been and are now important in my life. Thank you very much. So my point is in small amounts all of that stuff is fun. But don't get carried away with it and don't let it run your life, like it did mine. I have to many friends back home trying to fight addictions because we let ourselves get carried away in high school, luckily for me I was always into lifting and it finally became more important to me and helped me overcome those problems that others are facing. Don't ever lose site of your goals.

sorry for taking up so much room in your journal but I felt like I need to get it all in. thanks

peace.

Nicely said Pat. I think i'm going to go over there and paste that reply, i'll give you the credit.

Everyone goes through phases like that, its good that you got out if okay. Most people don't, like your friends back home.

Like you said, everything in moderation, don't let it take over your life. You need an easy medium.

I hope QoS reads your post, she's going through what you went through right now. Maybe you can head over there and help her out.

Posted by: P-funk

I hope a lot of people read that post. Life is a funny thing......What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger......Still gothe though.lol

Posted by: Yanick

Yeah, but you're a normal gothe. If you start wearing black lipstick and black nail polish, i might have to beat you.

Posted by: P-funk

If I start doing that I might have to beat me. lmao
