You're dieting pretty hard there bud; my money's on the carbs.

**juggernaut** · 05-16-2010, 11:37 AM

So today, I got back to low carb, and initiated my training for the newly updated NPC show date of August 21. I have little more time and changed back to the keto way of things, using Lyle's UD2.0 under Built's direction. Carb rotation is good, but the diet just kills my stomach and makes me feel bizarre. I know I perform better without carbs, even though there is a transition, I still like the setup of the UD2.

Here's today's routine....
3x 15-20, not too much weight, just enough to deplete and start the process.

Depletion Workout

Flat Dumbbell Press
Seated Cable Rows
Lateral Raises
Standing Calf Raise
Barbell Curls
Triceps Pushdowns
Leg press-leg extensions superset
Leg curls-SHELC superset

Rest 3 minutes

Incline Dumbbell Press
Lat Pulldowns
Lateral Raises
Seated Calf Raise
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Triceps Pushdowns
Leg press-leg extensions superset
Leg curls-SHELC superset

Cardio: 20 minute sprints, followed by 20 minutes low impact cardio

carbs always get me.

UD's a funny beast -folks love it or hate it. I may give it another go later this year, have to see how things go. Carb cycling works well for me usually but I know more this time up to bat than I did the first few tries at UD.

Mmmm... carbs...

**juggernaut** · 05-16-2010, 08:00 PM

I agree with what you said about ud2. It does work, but I've learned that for the first part of the load, russet potatoes dont work, as they bloat me. Bagels work well, but they need to be the white ones, the less fibrous starchy carbs are best, such as white rice, rice krispies, dextrose, bagels, grits, baked potato chips and especially macaroni all work well and dont fill me or bloat me.
also, digestive enzymes are a complete must have, especially when choking down all this frickin food in one day. Water especially helps, and usually kicks in after the second gallon. For shits and giggles, I'll drink a glass of red wine and it makes the whole picture even scarier. The veins just come on like you cant believe. I look like a roadmap at the end of a day of higher carbs.

**juggernaut** · 05-17-2010, 05:44 AM

Ever since upping the T3 dose to 75mcg from 50mcg, it seems the results, coupled with the PSMF are a magic bullet.
Cramps still suck, but I am beginning to wonder if it is the Winny. No worries, I'll be off it soon, by the end of this week.

**juggernaut** · 05-17-2010, 12:59 PM

I fucking hate depletion workouts...but the weekly carb orgasm makes it so worth the shit you have to go through!

**juggernaut** · 05-18-2010, 06:41 AM

I've opted to spend an extra day in depletion, only because of the comfort level, if not the extra lower carb addition. What does this translate to? Most importantly, I can afford to spend an extra day lower carb, since my body loves the taste but hates the gasiness and bloated feelings of higher carbs. So essentially, I will continue to do the 35%/65% split on Thursday, but spend another day low. I'm interested in seeing what this will do, but I'm banking on mostly nothing.

I will also continue to add new foods to the higher carb days, since eating six bagels is kind of goofy and potatoes can make me feel like shit.

**juggernaut** · 05-18-2010, 12:25 PM

Also, any suggestions for the higher carb foods would be appreciated.

**juggernaut** · 05-19-2010, 01:00 PM

Started rocket fuel/clen. Holy crap this stuff makes me bounce off the walls. Fuck coffee! I got nitroglycerin!!!

I can't find anything on this...Is it actually called Rocket Fuel?

When I was carb loading, I used Barilla brand pasta. The shit has 40 grams of carbs for 2 oz! Super dense shit.. if you don't mind the higher GI.

I use Barilla here at the restaurant...good stuff. For other people, that is.

Hey Jugs, does rice cause the same problem as potatoes? I was watching some Jay Cutler video the other day, Homie eats a lot of white rice. Other than that, pasta, GRITS

, steel cut oats, rice cakes, etc.

**juggernaut** · 05-19-2010, 06:19 PM

Clen and rocket fuel-just saying that it felt like rocket fuel...dont mean that it is the brand name...but it is 40mg tabs. Incredible stuff.

As for the rice/potato thing, no bloat. I love rice. I dont mind the higher GI only because on the first day of the carb load, the massive amount means I need to down a lot of and not that much fiber. Farting is awful when I used fiber filled products the first day. So I keep it higher on the first day and then slowly go to lower GI and more fibrous starches-oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and wheat macaroni.

**juggernaut** · 05-22-2010, 12:03 PM

Clen is the devil's work. I'm only 60mg and the headache I felt this morning was enough to want me to knock myself out cold. 6 Tylenols later and it still hurt! I did one 40mg tablet, so maybe that was too much,. It does however keep my energy levels up and the need for coffee is laughable at best.

So, anyway...here's Friday's workout:

Nice workouts, man! RDLs are looking strong!

**juggernaut** · 05-23-2010, 10:46 AM

took a long time for me to bring up the hams, Gaz! Funny thing is, they were easy! I wouldve went up 20 lbs heavier if I needed to do another set.

All thanks to MariAnne for her edumatation!

Well they're definitely up there now, dude! Thats fucking heavy for RDLs!

**juggernaut** · 05-23-2010, 10:57 AM

I want to hit 305 by the end of next month!

**Built** · 05-23-2010, 02:40 PM

Hey, nice to see you working those hams, son!

You ever do GMs? They're my new best friend these days.

**juggernaut** · 05-23-2010, 04:31 PM

On my offseason, I got up to 110 on good mornings...USING BGB!!!!

Nice! 110 would break me in half!

Hows PSMF working out for you Jugg? You Ketosis yet?

**Built** · 05-24-2010, 02:13 AM

You've gotta have more in you than 110. I do GMs with that. I wonder if you use a different form than I do - they should feel exactly the same as RDLs, but with the weight on your shoulders instead.

**juggernaut** · 05-24-2010, 12:31 PM

I'm getting used to the clen and what's happening is, I usually bloat like a mofo during my carbup with a ton of veins and get my weight up to about 10-12 lbs overnight. This time, after my carbup, I only put on 4 lbs! the only thing I can attest to is that the clen is working and the bump in T3 to 75mcg. I also now have veins in my calves, sides of my thighs, delts my head, and biceps. So it looks as if everything is in tune. I am also slowly bumping up the clen, tomorrow will start 60mg since I am getting used to the 40 without a headache anymore.

Today's workout:
Depletion
3x 15-20

Depletion Workout 2

Flat Dumbbell Press
Squatting Double Dumbbell Rows
Lateral Raises
Standing Calf Raise with weight
Cable Curls
Triceps Pushdowns

Rest 3 minutes

Incline Dumbbell Press
Lat Pulldowns
Rear Military Press
Seated Calf Raise
Incline Dumbbell Curl
Reverse Tricep Pushdowns

I probably did, but every time I did it, I felt it in my abs and back. I dont think I was stretching low enough. When I get back to them, after my contest, I will video it and let you check out my ass.

I only did one round of 12 days of PSMF. It hit me pretty hard with cramps. Hunger wasnt an issue with my keto pancakes and Waldens maple Syrup. But the cramps sucked monkey butt. I defintely hit ketosis because i was averaging about 20 on a high day for carbs. After a while, everythign tasted metallic and fruity.
Now I am on UD2 right into my contest.

**Built** · 05-24-2010, 01:25 PM

Oh, you sound like you are RIGHT on track! Nice.

The GMs, yeah, most folks bend over for 'em, and that's not a GM. With a GM, you pivot your ass back with your knees not quite straight, and kinda "fold" in half, then up. I can do 5x115 on a good day - about 2/3 what I RDL.

**juggernaut** · 05-25-2010, 04:28 AM

How the hell is it I can get on a scale yesterday at 235 (which I knew was water and dooty), and drop 5.4 frickin pounds in a matter of 24 hours? I fucking hate the scale!! So, yeah...woohoooo!!! I did a depletion yesterday and HIIT and dropped a ton of weight! I'm no longer a fat fuck. Praise the lord hallelujah. Big fucking whoop.

Can I have an amen my brothers?
