anybody into bodybuilding/powerlifting?

[scabzzzz]

Yeah, thats the detoxing part i think. I work in IT so all I do critical thinking and problem solving and it makes stuff a lot more difficult. Akin to having a nicotine fit or something. That feeling went away my second round of keto tho.

Yeah, I'm a contract sales estimator........I stare at blueprints and design drawings all day.....I couldn't focus to save my life.

I don't think this is caused by it. I had the flu before I started which was due to heavy drinking and lack of sleep i'm pretty sure. I think this ear infection is just the aftermath of the flu. Anyway, just had some chicken spinach curry with lettuce and sour cream. Ribeye tonight for dinner...this ain't so bad!

so I just read up on the Keto Diet, just a low carb diet. That's what I always do except I don't eat a lot of fat like it says to do. Started more cardio and I'm getting down into single digit body fat

[drumad]

lol just a low carb diet?

It's more like a no carb diet with 2/3rds of your calories coming from fat.

first sentence says:
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet

you lose

I tried that last year. too much fat gain for me. I didnt work out enough either. Ive been going consistently for about 8 months now. Ive been on and off for the past 4 years.

I eat ~3200 calories per day,

217 grams of protein
132 grams of fat
295 grams of carbs.

I basically eat the same meals everyday mon-friday. I go off course during the weekends b/c I am off work, but I still make sure its High carb/high protein/healthy stuff.

I am basically always bulking, Ive never cut. I started this time last year at around 145 lbs, maybe less. I'm now about 156-158 lean. Goal is 170, aesthetic, somewhat lean. (12% is ok in my book)

Slow process but im in no rush.

Good luck on your goals!

I'm now at 185, 6ft and 19 y/o. According to the fat analyzer I have, I'm roughly 14% body fat. Don't entirely believe that though. Just strength training at the moment, and will cut down to under 9% when the time comes.

Do you do the cyclic version? If so, what does your carb load look like? Also for how long iOS a carb load?

I am doing an informal meet at my school next month, so I figured I would post some information about my training. After the informal meet I am going to start training for a USPA meet coming up in the next few months.

Currently at 183lbs as of yesterday. Running a modified version of the Cube "Boss" method as outlined in 365 strong. I added in more volume over all and a second squat day. This is my third week thus far and I am feeling pretty beat, no where near as bad as when I ran Smolov though.

I think I am probably going to start posting videos of my training. Didn't get any today.

Rep Squat Day (setxrep):
Warm up
2x12 315lb competition stance squat
5x5 225lb front squat
2x20 leg press (forgot what weight I put on)
1x50 135lb
Ab work (barbell oblique side bends)

Rep day is always the worst day for me. I recently started wearing a lot of clothing while I train. Normally wear some type of compression pant with shorts, light knee bandages on squat day to keep them warm, and a hoodie or jacket. I sweat buckets but I normally stay really loose and have yet to get hurt.

Yes I do. Ill do sub 50g for Monday-Saturday and then eat whatever I feel like (aka tacos and pizza) on Sunday. Because of Sunday, it usually takes me until about Wednesday to get back into a ketogenic state. I only do this because I DONT do any type of traditional cardio. My cardio consists of running sets of 5's or 3's at 85% 1RM in either oly lifts or compound exercises (same thing right?). Has worked well for me so far. Only takes about 2 weeks for me to shit out about 2-3% BF.

I approve of this message. Keep posting!

Send pix or video of the competition too if you can.

Sweet! I'm excited to test this out. What's your height/weight? I should be in Keto now. Saturday I had some pasta, but Sunday-Today it's been about 20-30g a day.

Do you use anything for pre-workout? I may not be able to give up my MP Assault...
