How long have you been at that weight and have you done a full 36 hour carb refeed?

 

[bigcruz]

How long have you been at that weight and have you done a full 36 hour carb refeed?

about 2 weeks now jugg. And no I usually just do the big cheat meal at the end of the week. I may just have to do a cheat weekend this weekend coming up.

 

[juggernaut]

That's my thinking as well. I ran those numbers previously for you. Still have them?

Most likely you need to reset your leptin levels with a full 36 hour refeed.

[juggernaut]

Ok, this is common sense, but, RDLs are great exercises, if your form is on. Be sure to have the best form possible, and increase the weight only when you know it's right. Don't be afraid to really stretch at the shins. I tell my clients ass to the wall behind you. It really stretches out the hammies.
