Decided, after pigging out yesterday like a friggin' mad man for Thanksgiving, to start a cutting phase. I am going to focus on maintaining my strength and size and really focus primarily on dropping bodyfat. For whatever reason I have been adding a lot of flab the past few months, and it has really started to get out of hand. I can't be having my confidence compromised because I have some ridiculous cravings.

TKD = Targetted Ketogenic Diet
I am going to be following a TKD, which is basically Atkin's style eating with 30-40g of simple sugars preworkout to fuel my workout. That's the diet in a nutshell.

HIT = High Intensity Training
I am going to be training every other day, extremely low-volume, focusing on progression. Following a push/pull/legs split.

Wish me luck guys!

Training:

Great workout today, really hit my back extremely hard. Trained back/biceps today and my workout was short, and balls to the wall. No complaints at all.

Support Rows: 280 x 9! + 2 (assisted)

CG Cable Pulldowns: 245 x 6

Nautilus Pullovers: 270 x 10

Nautilus Curls: 130 x 9

Incline Hammer Curls: 50's x 6

Hit my lats extremely hard, absolutely no compaints here at all. Started off with a nice PR on support rows, and then some pulldowns and pullovers. Moved onto some curls and finished up with some hammers, great workout.

Diet:

Meal 1: scrambled eggs, bacon
Meal 2: fried steak + cheese + mayo
Meal 3: tuna + mayo
Preworkout: 1 scoop of Swole, Sweettarts
Postworkout: whey protein
Meal 5: fried steak + mayo
Meal 6: filet mignon steak
Meal 7: grilled chicken ceasar salad
Meal 8: 3 hot dogs

Actually, I think this diet is going to be more of a breeze than I thought. As long as I keep myself under control with my total # of calories, I shouldn't have any problems on a TKD.

Sleep: 6.5 hours.

rock: Thanks for stopping by bud, I really appreciate it. I am glad to be back on HIT as well man, for whatever reason. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with HIT. I am not going to be doing squats HIT style though, too taxing on my CNS---especially since I am taking in so little carbs on this TKD.

aggies1ut: LOL.

Monolith: Whatever you say, bud.

The product will be especially helpful on a diet. One of the mods at getbig.com has been using it while on a CKD diet and had wonderfull success with it.

As I told you, it will allow you to train harder, more often.

Here is a link to the thread the mod at getbig started:

aggies1ut: LOL.

chris: Thanks for stopping by, bud. That's great to hear because a CKD and a TKD are extremely similar, the only difference is that I don't do weekend carb-ups, I take in 30-40g of simple sugars before my workout to fuel my HIT session. I am curious how soon to my workout should I eat my Sweettarts, and idea? I was thinking maybe 15-20 minutes before my workout with my Swole? What do you think?

Posted by: chris mason

I am not familiar with Swole? Anyway, if you have not eaten in several hours and just take the candy then that should be fine. If you have eaten a meal within the last few hours you might want to have the candy a bit sooner.

chris: Hey man, here is a link to some info about Swole, it's a creatine product:

I am going to post my results with HIT/TKD here in this journal. So far, so good. I really like what I am eating on a TKD---Atkin's style eating for me is just a breeze. I just have to stay in control of my binging that's all. Hopefully all will go well with this, I am hoping to drop down to around 220 lbs. We'll see what happens.

Training:

Good workout today I think, especially since I am running on low carbs. No complaints at all today about my workout intensity, etc.

Incline BB Presses: 255 x 6! + 2 (assisted)

Nautilus Pec-Deck Flyes: 200 x 11

Upright Rows: 185 x 7! + 2 (assisted)

Nautilus Lateral Raises: 240 x 7

Skullcrushers: 155 x 8! + 2 (assisted)

Good workout today, hit a few nice PR's here today. Threw around some decent weight on inclines, then some upright rows that weren't too shabby. Moved onto some lateral raises and then some JM presses. I realized today that I am not really doing skullcrushers like most people do them. I lower the bar down to my neck/chin area and flare my elbows out a bit. I am going to take a video of them in the near future.

Diet:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of Swole, Sweettarts
Postworkout: whey protein
Meal 2: ?

Sleep: 6 hours.
