Aren't you starting TP-PT program soon?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...


26th
I want to continue this cut until the end of the month. The last week of my cut I will begin the program, and then change over to a slight bulk. I figured since this is a mass gaining program I should as least be in a caloric surplus to take the most advantage of it.
I'll be watching you guys until I start![]()
Why not recomp?

Cause I want muscle
Actually I have been tossing up the idea between the two. and may settle inbetween (if that makes any sense). I think a caloric surplus would be benificial with this plan, although I realize that we will be increase Carb days so that by 4 weeks we will be in the +.
I got some thinking to do, I guess alot will have to do with my progress over the next few weeks.

It is going pretty good, Couple of things threw loops into it. :cough: Baby :cough:
I don't think I will be where I want, but I Have made some good progress from my original pictures at the beginning.
I know I am doing this for myself, but I am competitive and I see everyone else, getting ripped and I get frustrated. I keep telling my self this is a learning process to figure out what works and doesn't work.
I think the cardio has helped alot, probably should have started earlier. Feel a little harder since I started doing some cardio.
Sorry to ramble, just sharing my thoughts.
I think you can put on some good muscle doing recomp. That's what I plan to do.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
It's not ramble.
So, I know with carb cycling you CAN'T use a scale to monitor progress. So how have you been monitoring? Do you see changes? Do you have a change in bodyweight, measurements etc?

To be honest by the Mirror and by feeling myself( i know I left my self open for a shot there. Looking for more Vascularity and muscle defenition.
It is a holiday up here and I am at workso I ran into the Shop and checked with the shipping scale weighing in at around 220 right now after a no carb day with Weights and cardio. Can't remember the last time I weighed myself
I haven't taken measurements, I know![]()
Actually gonna order the measuring tape and skin fold package from BN, to keep better track of progress.
So really I have been going on a visual thing and how I feel emotionally and physically to judge my progress, I know hard to evaluate, which I regret now.
Got my BF checked before the cut, need to get it done again, I think that is going to be a good indicator, I just don't want it to be discouraging

I agree rock, I think some good muscle can be put on, while recomping.
I guess I am not sure yet.
Since this is a mass gaining program, I guess I want to make the most of the opportunity and put on the most muscle possible.

Why not recomp?
Ok Question,
What is the real defenition of a recomp?
I would think it is a maintanence type diet, not really looking to put on weight, but achieve lean mass gains and lose BF. After reading a few threads, I keep seeing Recomp used in similar fashion to a bulk.
Confused please help?
It's manipulating your diet and training so that you continue to lose bodyfat and gain muscle. Hence the changes you see in TP's suggested diet for recomp.![]()
