Angry Harbinger of Sorrow... take the carbs away...

New name... needed a damn new name LOL.

cut will continue for a few weeks... like 6-7weeks ... but only 3 more until spring break ... oh, well... 13.5% ain't exactly a tub of lard state. still would like it to be closer to 8%
Oh, well... I think I'm gonna add in 2 HI cardio sessions/wk ... and then stop after 3wks of it as I'll be starting on some FB supps by/b4 then and cut the cardio to 1 or 0/wk. Keep cals same and macros as well...

190-1 @ 13.5% BF and this calorie deficit ain't doin' much...
but I'll hold out hope since I don't wanna go any less ... I'm already down to 2100 kcals

PCF:
60/25/15 ish

keeping post WO carbs and taking in a 'lil more milk throughout the day... in my coffee addiction (LOL, I'm literally taking in 30-35 shots of espresso/day w/ zero jitters or elevated rhr)

split will remain the same, though I might take it a 'lil differently

currently it's a 4day split over 4 days... I may go for a 4day split over 5 days...

M- chest/bi
T- delts/traps/hams
W- quad/calves
Th- off
F- back (minus my usual tricep WO)
S- Chest/bi
Su- off

M- delts/traps/hams ...

basically doin' 5d/wk of a 4day split, now assymetrically.

It's a thought...

any opinions?

Eh, bdy wt has fluctuated b/w 187.5 and 189 over the past 3 days... but my strength's on the way up again ... I know I always say that poundage doesn't mean dick, but it is an added perk

Back on Sat... strength up a 'lil
Chest/bis... up 20lbs on incline, and up a 'lil on bis

My comment: that's a heck of a lot of strong coffee! The problem with that is if you accidentally miss your shots you will have a splittin' headache! Why so much caffeine?

Do you carb up?

Forced immunization to it's effects LOL

it doesn't keep me up or give me jitters
just started out low and drak as I pleased I guess... I'm starting to believe that my body has ttrouble metabolizing alcohol and caffeine as well as developing quick/high tolerances to a # of substances. Just a theory... but sodium usinate does nothing for me anymore either

Tues:
Delts went about as average...
presses@ 170 for 10, 190 for 8, 210 for 6, 170 for 8
iso-lat/delt raises- @ 20 for 7 sets of 8-10
flyes- 112.5 for 12, 125 for 10, 137.5 for 10, 150 for 8, 162.5 for 6

wt is fluctuating like mad

Hey, Cornfed,

Could you post a sample day of your diet?

I am having difficulting getting my fat that low, esp. with the flax added to shakes specifically to add fat. I would like to see how you eat to stay close to PCF 60/25/15

Hey Cornfed, nice journal. Thats friggin crazy how much caffiene you take in a day. Do you think thermo's will even do anything to you with all that daily caffiene?

Also, why keep the fat so low? Haven't you heard, higher fat=higher test levels

Why aren't you carbing up for 2 straight weeks?

From my experience if I am in a caloric defecit and I go a week w/out a carb up I don't lose as much fat. I need something to jumpstart my metabolism. I carb up every 3rd and 4th day (Sunday and wed. night). You don't have to go overboard either and get all bloated. Just take in a bit more carbs/cals in your last meal. That usually helps me drop fat faster.

Just my 2 cents....for what they are worth.

meals 1-4,6:

generally 10oz chicken, 2tsp canola and some greens (broccoli/turnip grn/mustard grn/spinach)

~60g P
~11g F
----1.25g SF

meal 5:
post W/O
2C cottage ch w/ peptide bond-breaking enzymes added, 2C milk, .5 "giant pixie stix"


~70g P
~55.5g C
----47.5g S

totals:
P ~ 370ish (350-380)
F ~ 55ish
C ~ 55ish (excluding greens)

kcals= 21-2200 kcals


and as for fat intake and test, I'm fine. My last blood test (~month ago, ~same diet) showed Test @ 1138.
I'm abnormally high anywho

and for supps, no thermos here

low carbs through next week b/c it's fuqqin' spring break for me
Beach no like carbs LOL. and carb-ups never boost my metabolism noticeably. I've had better net results w/o 'em, but go frickin' crazy

Okay, so carbs don't agree with the beach on spring break. I agree.

My only question now is do you drink alcohol at all on spring break? Or is that okay becuase it dehydrates you and help to make you more cut.

Oh, well... I had carbs every fuqqing day though at 1st by accident ... but let it slide a bit... thank God for Aquaban and other OTC diuretics. Not much alcohol either... Sun & Fri

Oh, well... work = money

and I got my ink done

Naw...Just trying to do it a 'lil b4 spring break, but I'm taking this slow and steady... my visible bf% is going down very slowly, but wt is about the same .. w/ a general increase in strength... so.... I think I'm still making gains... I'm gonna try to cut slow while staying above 185 and hopefully around 190... priorities suck

being cut for summer is #1, but I didn't wanna be a bloated SOB for S/B.
