hmmmmmmm sounds like fun I will be at home relaxing

hardasnails1973 · 08-08-2003, 12:15 PM

my body has adjusted nicely to low carbs I have so much energy i do not know what to do. I had 3 hours sleep last night and feel great. Well the secret to successful diet is slow transitions, plus me being ADDHD when younger and being a sugar feine my body's inuslin senstivity isn't as good so why my body run on lower carbs better. Blood sugar levels are more stable and no ups and downs...I felt like shit on 300 grams of carbs plus all carbs in morning stop fat burning process. SO in the offseason i'm going to keep carbs even low at breakfast time and this should keep me leaner and still gaining

hardasnails1973 · 08-08-2003, 12:24 PM

I will be out on the prowl and dressed to kill

J'Bo · 08-08-2003, 01:01 PM

it may also be all the effin drugs you take....ever thought of that?

hardasnails1973 · 08-08-2003, 01:36 PM

actually my dear, It takes my body about a week to adjust to make the shift. Last year I had same thing happen and I wasn't on drugs 6 months prior to show. I was getting stronger on lower calories with out enhancements and I had trouble sleeping as well. Insomina was one of the side effects of metabolsim pick up. Plus my body has never erally been on high carbs for past year so transition was much easier then normal. Plus I haven't been on anything for 4 weeks now becuase I clean out before the final 4 weeks then I will hit a hardening phase. I'm working with a few other people and they are expreinceing the same thing. Ony diference is that they don't go carb while in the offseason so trainsition take alot less time then a person that carboholic

J'Bo · 08-08-2003, 02:25 PM

dont you dear me.

geuss what i just did? ate 1414g of sodium

i am such a weiner head :bang:

hardasnails1973 · 08-10-2003, 07:12 PM

Feeling like a bag of shit ..it think its time for a carb up !!

hardasnails1973 · 08-11-2003, 08:55 AM

just carbed up last night before bed

2 cups oatmeal dry
12 oz yam
1 cup veggies
1 TBSP HEMP
1 cup applesauce (out of bannas)

Woke up KABOOM!!

Waist was smaller and weight was 215 solid. Should be strong as a bull tonight. Increaisng fat to 100-110 (70 grams EFAS ) grams a day and keeping carbs to 50-60 a day still all starchy are gone and just on greens and grapefruit in the morning. Going to put pedal to medal 6 weeks to go I want to be ready by week 2 so i can start increasing calories and getting even leaner !! Yesterday I felt like total shit. I feel awesome today !!

J'Bo · 08-11-2003, 09:35 AM

good cause you were really spent last night.

check your pm's

hardasnails1973 · 08-11-2003, 10:28 AM

yes i was out of it last night and yesterday I slept all day !!

J'Bo · 08-11-2003, 10:40 AM

but now you can run a marathon i am sure

hardasnails1973 · 08-12-2003, 08:14 AM

Just got my body fat test in the morining I was 4.5 at 210 bone dry. VEins are getting nasty through my abs. The carb up meal increased my metobolsim so much it wasn;t funny I squated last night and tweak my hip flexor becuase i felt so strong. I just upped my muscle synergy to 12 tablets a 2 day as well as upped my fat intake. Even with that carb up sunday I felt so flat yesterday becuase My fat intake was too low. So I doubled fat in 3 of my meals to bring fat up to 140 grams a day while lower protein to 450 from almost 500. carbs are still 1 small grape fruit in the morning and veggies rest of the day. I cut all glutemine for the fact that it can convert to sugar and that I do not want. My approach is keep insulin levels low all the wat through and then replenish every 3-4 day. Reason I was not pumped yesterday was becuase My fat was too low. Fat being low also kind of bound me up as well. I increase fat it acts as a lubricant. Too much fiber can make me bloated. I think stopping the glutemine will even keep me drier looking and increasing the fats will keep me fuller. I started practice posing 30 minutes a night so i will even be more conditined with out taxing my muscle with all that cardio !! 2 weeks before show I will cut fat to even tightern up more !!

J'Bo · 08-12-2003, 10:35 AM

hardasnails1973 · 08-12-2003, 11:09 AM

thats gross...most people would never admit to that even if they did

we all know that your "different" though

hardasnails1973 · 08-13-2003, 08:18 AM

When getting up today to do cardio at 5 am i looked in the mirror at saw that my conditioing has drasticallty changed. I was so much leaner and tighter then previous day so i skipped cardio till tonight fact of loosing any extra lean tissue. I belive this was do to the increase of fat intake (some wonderful, sexy woman told me never to drop, but I was a DODO head and did). I also cut the glutemien which could have a major factor as well. I was even considering cutting all shakes now to knock out all variable. I think increasing the fat intake combined with dropping the glutemine, and posing half hour last night made a major impact. I think my strength holding is really contributed to Muscle synergy. I was also told that dropping the fat last 2 weeks combines with TONS of Muscularity (used on low caloires) with make a major impact on my c
