Hey, I've been below maintenance for two and a half weeks now, been keeping the carbs down, and things are going great. Long story short, I've got the annual May Long Weekend camping trip with my buddies from high school, 9 years running. It's a real gongshow, and there's always tons of booze...

Wow that sounds pretty good, I've never had indian food before. Do you use white or brown rice, and I'll probably use skim milk because that's what we have in the fridge. I'm going to give that a shot this week and see how it goes.

I'd love to have powdered gatorade with my protein shake, I'm definately giving that a shot! I have always just been a little paranoid about sugar and gatorade powder definately was not something I would have considered having. I find I'm hungry too after a workout, I'll try a sweet potatoe as...

I've been reading about the post-insulin spike in the stickies. There seemed to be some controversy on whether or not it is necessary to spike the insulin after a workout. I've been having success eating my only carbs for the day post-workout, so I do plan on sticking with it. For my...

The dieting took some getting used to, I think my macros are pretty solid. I've been keeping a solid deficit but on wednesday I went to maintenance level, and the next day I felt fantastic. I think I'll do that once a week for sure, not quite a "refeed" though. I've stopped craving sweet things...

Thanks goldcol, thats incredible that 12 weeks off raised your bpm that much, i guess i cant read much into it then. Thanks.

Thanks Built that helps a ton, maybe I'll go another couple weeks with the Split and my current diet before I get into UD2.0, sounds pretty cool though.

Here are my Macros from Fitday, I've actually been really meticulous: Calories: 1699 Fat: 49.5 g (27%) Carbs: 64.7 g (16%) Protein: 216.3 (55%) Alcohol : 5 (2% - Birthday party.) I'm 5'11'', 170-175 pounds. I've been using this with Builts 4 day Split and it's been great, can actually see...

Hey Built, ok that's great to know because I really did not want to do that much cardio haha. According to fit day for 9 days (and I have been meticulously keeping track) my stats are: Calories: 1663 Fat g: 47.1 g (27.1%) Carb g: 71.9 g (17%) Prot g: 205 g (53%) Alcohol: 6 g (3%-b-day saturday)...

Hey Built, been using Fitday, and my diet so far over 1 week has had an average of 1700 calories, with 53% protein, 20% carbs, and 27% fat. I was just reading the "why daredevils are shredded", and "Lyle's Protocol number 1" mentions 45 or so mins of low to moderate cardio will help with fat...

Thank you kindly, everyone, I think I'm going to give the seated cable row a shot

Hi, what is an adequate subsitution for T-bar rows?

Cool, I'm alright with leaning out a little bit. Thanks Built, your advice has always been incredibly helpful, I'm going to finish this week off with your full body workout, and then jump right into that three day split! Now I have to go to the Library and study marine invertebrate zoology, got...

I actually am alright with where I am weight-wise, I think at 5'11 getting towards 160 sounds too light. haha it was ambiguous but I know exactly what you mean. I actually read that thread last night about the split with NKIRA, and already copied and pasted it into a word document because I...

My five rep max for squats is 120lbs plus the bar, my deadlift I'm not sure I've been lifting kind've light to get the form down, but I'd say prob 60 kg plus the bar, I've been doing the dumbell benchs and improved from 35-45 with 8 reps, my 5 rep max is prob. 50. I'm 5'11, and at this moment am...
