Here's my plan- Carb up every 5 days. Workout with heavy weights 4 days a week. Do Hiit,circuit work ,and steady state stuff 4 times a week. No cardio on carb up days i feel its a waste. Heres my lay out plan

Mon-off from lifting
tues-off from lifting steady state 35-45 mins
wed-shoulders
thrus-back (lats,lower traps, posterior delts) steady state must do 35-45mins
fri-off from lifting

I see where you say to get waist smaller there in your goals. Personally I have started doing planks and dropping any crunching and I have noticed a smaller midsection. Maybe just me, but I figure cannot hurt.

By the way push presses are damn good!

I'm going to cut the carbs down to almost nothing for a while (incorporating re-feeds) to see what happens.

Any tips/ pointers/ things to watch out for? How does it affect energy levels and mood???

I would slowly cut out carbs and only cut more when fat loss stops. Also id do a high med and low carb day. Most ppl will feel like shit on a low carb day so try not to lift or do sprints on that day just something like steady state cardio. I'm also of the opinion after doing 2 real cuts that its best to eat more and burn off more than go low cal it that never worked well for me so maybe aim to lose about 1 pound a week. On the refeed days some ppl can eat like shit and make great progress other guys gotta keep it real clean and just only have one carb meal find what works best for you. You may want to consider buying some BCAAs with glutamine and take 20g a day on the low carb days to prevent muscle wasting. I know that is very confusing to read and some of it is conflicting so ask if i made something really hard to understand or confusing lol. I'm on a low carb day so i kinda got some brain fog.

Oh yeah you may become pissy on low carb days or you may feel even more alert and energetic. BCAAs will help you fight through the mind fog and pissyness.

Good advice- and not hard to understand! I think I'll go along those lines, I'm not going to count cals, but I do have a fairly accurate idea of what I need to have to be in the sub 500 (below maintanence )zone.

I figured that the low carb days would not be good to brain function or mood, and I think I'll stick to medium intensity steady state on said days.

I think I'll not go over the top on refeed days. Thanks Brutus.

I admire your work ethic B. You are working out hard, and more importantly, walking the walk. I need to be as dedicated as you!

I actually like the way i preform on low carbs ,but you know its all body type. Maybe you should try and carb up every 2nd/3rd day or just increase your carbs in general since you may require more to function then i do.



Posted by: katt

Your body must respond well on the low carb diet.. I don't see how you can get a crazy ass intense workout like that though!! I'm drained until my carb up day.

Trust me you'll feel like running wind sprints when you take that shit lol it also seems to make me less hungry. Give it a shot you'll need ID and you'll have to go to a pharmacy to get the ephedra. Its name is Bronc aid just ask for it obviously don't mention your using it for BBing say you need it for breathing. dont exceed 50mg in 1 day and preferably only take 25mg.



Posted by: Pylon

How long have you been on the stack? You sound like it is still pretty fresh.

I don't think the reduced caffeine amount would have helped me. I take in that much in my morning coffee.

Oh BTW my dad lifted with me on this one its not his thing but it was cool that he did it for me.

“You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.”

“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”

Depends. When you catch the bar you want to catch it on your shoulders and collar bones, not with your wrists like most people do when they first start. If you got huge shoulder muscles then they would take most of the impact.

Done in 23 minutes so intense. This is now the best ever workout in my life cause i was so focused and the level of effort was 11 outta 10 then there's the fact i broke my little toe. Going to go run 4 miles twice today. I gotta be honest Ive been taking 6-oxo for 2 weeks which while not a steroid or pro hormone does get you to 1200-1400 test ranges, average high rangefor a unassisted male is 1000. I know that steroids are the next step, I'm going to be starting this Feb 24 my birthday. If i cant get the real thing then phera-plex or halodrol-50 it is.

Went to doctor toes fine i just have a hairline fracture. It doesnt hurt when i do anything so its all good.

Awesome. 5 miles in 40 is pretty damn good. This ECA thing has you riled up like a rabid dog.

Hairline fracture is'nt good news, you should take it easy, don't want to make that bitch worse.

Whats up Brutus, I read your journal all the time and man you've exploded over the past week or so, Keep it up. can you tell me what ECA is? And do you have to inject the test boost?

Its ok but i really wish i had a good running partner like you, helps when you feel like shit and need that extra push. Yeah the ECA works nice its not magic, but allows you to go that much harder. You absolutely right about the toe. I'm just being a dumb ass. Luckily it doesn't hurt when i run.

Oh Yeah? Thxk you so much! That means alot to me. ECA is a fat loss stack Ephedra-Give you energy and helps you burn fat and not muscle. Really focuses you and it seems to last along as time.
Caffeine-Energy again short term also helps with burning fat.
Aspirin-Prolongs half life of the 2 compounds. It basically makes em last longer. Thins blood so you can get more oxygen to muscles.

E- take 25-50 mg max a day obviously work up to a higher dose, only if needed.
C-200-300mg a cup of tsrong coffee is about 90mg of caffeine. Im very sensitive to stimulants so i only take 100mg of caffeine.
A-80-150mg if you take the normal 300+ pills ulcers and such can happen.

The test boost? I guess you mean the 6-oxo? Its just pills that prevent testosterone from turning into estrogen, so you keep more of your natural test. Be careful your really only supposed to take that stuff when your 21 or older.

NICE, Great info! I'm 22y/o so the 6-oxo should be fine. These supps seem to be working very nice with you. I might have to give these a try and switch my supps up a bit.

Well it depends im using them to lean out. ECA wont be that good if your bulking. The 6-oxo should be good for a bulk. Watch yourself for any anger and control it you should do great .

Ditto man. I don't have anybody to run with, and you're right, it does give you the motivation to go that extra mile, or keep the pace up.

"I'm not letting that bastard beat me!" Nothing like healthy competition.

Good workout BTW.

Id say its all about the total package you know diet,training, and BCAAS/fish oil. After you got that yeah ECA combined with consistent cardio will lean you out, man i wish i was an Ectomorph lol. Thxk you G.

Great Upright rows. Those are hard.

Here's your mission if you choose to accept it: 4 mile run: Under 30 minutes. (If you have'nt already beaten that time).

Challenge has been set......
