Summary
Second depletion workout today and again, I had some fine tuning. Pretty tough hitting the rep range even using 70% of my max weights. I did have to decrease after the sets but all in all it was decent enough to get glycogen depletion. Forgot to mention yesterday that I crammed in 45 minutes of stationary bike. Did another 45 minutes today too. Leaving nothing to chance this round. Diet was on the mark but I'm still struggling with hunger. Need to start eating later in the day so that I put off my appetite a little longer. Aside from that, I'm on track and looking forward to that carb up!

Thanks J'Bo. My goals is for 8-10% bodyfat while maintaining as much weight as I possible can. Not an easy task for me and yes, the 5 sets of high reps is a bitch but thats just the first two days. The last two are a cake walk. The basic idea is to restrict carbs for 3 and a half days, then carb load on the next 24-30 hours and ease back into low carb to begin the week over. It's an excellent program but it does have it's moments of suck-age!

13%
I started this round of UD2 at 180 and busted my ass getting there so I'm hoping to get down below 10% without going below 170.

good work . . you're unGeared?

The lads in work are on exactly the same amount, there are twenty of us going Ibiza a party island off spain for a stag do in september and they are training hard for it lol. Im still a bit dubious about putting anything like that in my body, although they reckon at that dosage it shouldnt give any side effects?????

Nah, this low a dose, the only thing I notice is libido increase. You don't get any muscle gains with this but on the positive side, you get much less muscle decrease when cutting back calories as hard as I am on UD2.
When I get back on a cycle, it's more like 600 a week and thats when sides can crop up and when ancillaries are nessesary.

I don't want you to think that I'm trying to tell you how to do your workouts--but I am.

Should you be doing deads after doing leg extensions and leg curls? That sounds dangerous. The fatigue that you pick up from the first two can lead to sloppy form. Hell, I should know. I was doing a superset of leg curls and RDLs and ended up popping out a rib due to sloppy form.

I just don't want to see you get hurt. However, if you do, please post it on YouTube. Thanks!

Also: holy crap! That's a lot of lateral raises! The burn that you're going to generate is going to start a fire!

I promise I will post my injury just for you DOMS.
Yeah, I always have my concerns about that. I usually try to do my heavy compounds before everything else but this past week since I didn't have a great warmup, I figured, "let me do leg extensions as a warm up".
Like I wrote on day one.. BIG MISTAKE!
Next week, I won't be doing it half assed like that. Squats, then deads then the rest of that crap.
You're right though DOMS, I was doing those deads pretty slowly just to keep from crappin out.
Yeah, the lat raises were murder. Even with feather light weight, after 20 reps, I couldn't take the burning but it was either those or arnies... which would you have picked after the 80 reps of military presses?

Also, for those following along.. this morning I was 176.2. Almost 4 pounds in 3 days. I didn't even think I was holding that much water. Should rebound back to 180 after the carb load though.

Ive asked the same thing of DOMS too, but thought id ask you as well:

I usually do 5x8 squats, but thinking of moving to 5x5 instead like i do on deadlifts. Just feel i would be able to lift more weight knocking a couple of reps off, but do you still think 5 reps is enough reps to build mass? Getting a few opinions......

Yeah, if you're using a heavy weight, the rep range for hypertrophy is 1-6 reps. Above that, you're likely sacrificing poundage to get to those higher reps. Don't feel like you have to lock in to a certain range though. Cycle those reps and sets in a periodized routine to benefit from all the rep ranges and keep the body's adaptation ability at bay. The trick to growing muscle is to expose your body to unfamiliar stresses constantly.

I added in another 45 minutes of stationary bike though That's three in a row.. not bad considering I hate cardio.

One half day more of low carbs tomorrow, a quick tension workout and then it's carb load!

Dietary details Day4 AM

Dietary details Day4 PM

Macros were 71%c 23%p 6%f
Weight 177.0lbs

Summary
So to clear up the confusion a little, Day 4 is half low carb day and half carb load. The tension training divides the two so once training is done the carb load starts. Todays training was great, I didn't expect to have much energy but I breezed through it hitting the top end of the rep range on every set.
Obviously I will have to increase everything next time around and make it more effective but it was good for the first day 'cause now I have all the numbers I need. I'll crush this shit next week and this should make for a strong Power workout on Thursday too.
Also, by Lyles recommendation I did a moderate 30 minute cardio this morning.

I count 10 different exercises there. You're nuts.

Nice work !! You gonna post some food for me to see ... please pretty please

Yeah man.. Lyle demands full body workouts for the tension and power training days on UD2. Hit as many muscle fibers as possible to get complete glycogen depletion. The tension workout was easy though, cause it's only 2 sets. The power workout is three sets, identical to the tension but thats still not as bad as the high rep/high sets shit, as you well know DOMS. You've done your share of them, you know how much they suck!
