Lets see whats under this mess
Well time to start trimming the fat coming up to the April 31st deadline. I have ten weeks to be perfect and see what I can mold this slab into.
I would like to think I have gained some considerable size in muscle. I will being doing some measurements tonite, and taking some starting photos. Also Tomorrow I will be getting my BF measured, haven't had one done in a while, so better check it out and see what I have to deal with. I am hoping I am not too high over 20%, but we'll see.  Any way then Plan is to do TP's Carb Cycling with a push/pull split 2 on 1 off 2 on 1 off repeat. I am thinking about doing cardio once a week to start, but we'll see what my BF comes back like. Not to sure how to split up the Carb Cycles to match my workout program, will need a little help here????  There is no Workout tonite but I do have hockey. Today will be a no Carb Day. Todays Meals will look like this, hopefully I have figured this out alright Meal 1 50 g Optimum Whey 5 Fish Oil Meal 2 1.5 cups 2% Cottage Cheese Cinn Stevia Meal 3 Chicken Romaine Apple Cider Vinegar Fish Oil Meal 4 1.5 Tuna Romaine 1 tsp Flax ACV Meal 5 Pork Cauliflower Fish Oil Meal 6 2 scoops ON Whey Fish Oil Supps Multi Vit Vit C 1-2 Grams Ginkgo Biloba Finishing off Swole v2 Let me know your thoughts Thanks Iain |

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Hey buddy, you, me, and Jill Carb cycling!
 I work out on my High and low carb days and have off on the no carb day. That works pretty well for me. Let me know how you like the no carb day! |

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...

How many fish oils per day total are you taking?
What are your macros for the day? I'd like to see the cottage cheese meal moved to bedtime instead. What does your split look like and we can figure out your days. |

Breaks down over 6 six days which screws things up a little ie. This Week Mon - No workout Tues - Pull Wed - Push Thurs - No Fri - Pull Sat - Push Sun- no Basically a 2 on 1 off Plan with an A and B day |

I was pretty freakin hungry when I woke up this morning, I'll just have you know.
So I can just keep going High, low, no? With this I will be constantly providing my pull exercises with an extra benefit ie high Carb Day. and Push exercises will be lacking, or am I wrong in thinking this???  |

I don't think it will have any effect but why not switch it up every week. Pull/Push/Rest then the next week Push/Pull/Rest and keep the High, Low, No.

The no Carb was hard the first 2-3 times for me but now I love those days best!
I don't notice any difference lifting between High and low carb days if that means anything to you! |

Yeah, me too. High Carb days are hard because I feel I have to eat more carbs than I desire to.

Proposed High Carb Day?
Meal 1
2 scoops ON 60g Fibre one 68g Oat Bran 1 Pear 5 Fish Oil P 61 C 120 F 15 Meal 2 1.5 Cups 1% Cottage Cheese Stevia Cinnamon P 42 C 9 F 3 Meal 3 8 oz Pork Romaine ACV 10 Oz Yam Apple 5 Fish oil P 54 C 106 F 14 Meal 4 Tuna Romaine Flax ACV P 44 C 3 F 10 Meal 5 Turkey Chili Brown Rice 5 Fish Oil 1/2 Apple P 45 C 96 F 12 Meal 6 2 scoops ON 90 Grams Oats 1/2 Apple P 70 C 118 F 15 Totals P 316 C 452 F 69 Cals 3693 Last two meals are High Carbs because I usually work out late at night I accounted for fruits in totals and didn't account for dietary fibre, That is pretty freakin high. I probably could have eaten more for meal 1 but would have been late for work, probably one of the negatives of using a Protein Shake. Any thoughts High Carb day? |

Well I am pretty happy
(for me atleast).I gained minimal BF over my bulk which is awesome When I started this I was around 19% BF and am now 19.7% Measurements Chest 13 Tri 12.6 Suprailium 23.6 Ab 24.5 Thigh 21.7 Subscapula 26.1 Midaxillary 19.5 I know I am not a specimen of a bodybuilder but we all have to start somewhere. So as what to achieve now. I would like to drop down my BF% obviously. Would 10-12% be a realistic goal? at 12% BF that would require losing 18.44 lbs of BF over 11 weeks or 1.67 lbs /week. Seems pretty realistic to me. |

Not a great workout, but got better as it went along. Full feeling from all the carbs makes things a little harder while working out.

Not officially competing (maybe someday, gotta long way to go)
But I am competing against myself and this online competition. Last time I was this weight was after my first year of University, can you say fat bastard, went from 205 to 230+. So I am mainly doing this for myself, to educate me about my bodies reactions and a sense of pride |

Full= satisfied
Actually after the first few high carb meals I felt fine. It was that last one, I switched up the Rice with Whole Wheat Pasta mixed into my chili. I ate alot but didn't feel full. I was just bloated by the time I went to workout. |
