New plan is lookin good girl! Can't wait to see the pictures and follow ya on this plan so ya better start postin more.... missed ya

 

[*Bunny*]

O.K. I can't take it anymore. I need to cut. I've added a descent amount of muscle over the last four months, so it's time to see what's under this winter coat. I know it's soon, but I feel like if I don't do it know it won't ever happen.
My training has been consistent, but diet has not.
Starting tomorrow, the plan is changing. Here it is:

Training:
Sun: Chest + anterior delt + 20 min. pwo cardio
Mon: Back + Posterior delt + 20 min. pwo cardio
Tues: Off
Wed: Legs (quad concentration) + Abs
Thurs: Arms + Medial delt+ calves+ 20 min. pwo cardio
Fri: Off
Sat: Legs (ham concentration) + abs

Thanks to Bunny for letting me jack some of your training ideas and motivation. I still want to add some size to my legs and shoulders. My arms grow so easily, and I feel like they were getting a little out of proportion, so I'm not concentrating on them so much. All my workouts will start with a ten minute warmup on the treadmill. Everything will be much faster-paced....higher reps, lower weight. I can't fit in morning cardio now, so this will have to work. I may add more later.

Diet:
Monday I'll begin a five-day carb deplete to get me started. Then I'll start carb cycling: High, Low, Low
High days: 150 g Low days: 50g
On the high days I'll shoot for 1800 cals, low days 1500.

Sups:
I just ordered levorex, so I'll give that a try. (I can't handle stimulants)
I'll also be using Glucorell before meals, Ms. power pack multis, Purecee until I run out, and probably some extra calcium.

I'm already planning to cheat next Saturday(birthday), thanksgiving, and christmas. But that's it.
I'll post pics later w/ stats.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

This is so great! Please, by all means motivate the heck outta me when I'm being a brat! My cheats are planned the same as you, next saturday is that wedding, then the holiday dinns with the fam.

Sass made a good point to me, to run it through full 2 weeks of the carb rotation with the split to assess energy and make sure I have it lol

I made it two days of not eating anything 'unhealthy' ... you know what that means lol few more days and I'll be back into the swing of things.

You can DO THIS!!!

Please do the same for me. I can get real bratty!
What does your carb rotation look like?

 

[*Bunny*]

HA! You now know what B also stands for with me

It's going to be some variation of either:

2 high days
2 mod days
3 low days

OR

2 high days
1 mod day
4 low days

^^ Not in that order, somehow spread out within my split.

I was talking things over with Miss Carb Cycle (Sass), and basically I don't wanna be skimping on overall cals on low days, so those would be replaced with fats to help out there. I have NO CLUE what my cal intake will be, but a usual high carb day has easily been 150-200g. I may only focus on the actual about of complex carbs. Take today for instance, my carb total is 168g, where 87g of those are from complex sources. I prefer to carb UP or place a high carb day prior to a specific heavy day, so I am going to try & fit that in accordingly. My split is for strength gains, maintenance of LMB, and I'm pretty sure fat will be lost, I have 5 days of lifting where I want intensity to be high... there will be a few days where carbs may not be where they need to be, so I will rely of supps like purecee & cardio breeze to help out with energy. Going to give it two weeks to assess energy then go from there. Any advice/tips Im all ears. Carb cycling already makes my head hurt lol. I remember I ate Chicken and broc for 5 meals for an entire week and I sure did cut the heck up, but wow was I mentally NOT myself.
Sorry for the novel ...

Ramble on girlfriend!
I don't really understand why people carb cycle with a gradual slope (ie: high, mod, low, no) Instead of more of a spike slope (ie: high, no). It seems to me that the abrupt switch would be more effective. I dunno.
Anybody understand that aspect of it?
During comp prep, I did 3 mod days, 2 no days. I think I did OK with that, but I was only taking one class over the summer. I don't think my head could handle that with a full course load right now. I don't worry so much about physical energy, but gettin' all mushy in the head bothers me.
I carb cycled like that for 8 weeks, and I think that's what really brought me results.

I am doing a spike slope of sorts right now. I eat 100g complex carbs on my weight training days and 35g complex carbs on my non-weight training days. This is not counting fruit (eat 2 servings daily) and veggies though, so my overall carbs for the day are always moderate ranging in the 125-165g zone. It is working well for me in terms of progress with seeing more striations and cut on my body. Surprisingly, my strength has increased as well.

I really think carb cycling is very much dependant on finding what works for you. I've done a high-med-low cycle before and didn't do well on it. I was retaining water too much and mentally losing it more than I liked.

Hey Roony! It is very much an individual thing. I can't do fruit when cutting. My body really reacts to the simple sugars.

Ooohhh.... I'm gonna watch this. Motivation and training ideas and diet (another carb cycler... cut cut cut!)

Please post pics!

Hey Roony! It is very much an individual thing. I can't do fruit when cutting. My body really reacts to the simple sugars.

That's definitely interesting. I assume eventually I'll be told to drop the fruit...so I'm just enjoying it while I can.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this cutting cycle works for you and hopefully learning a thing or two from your experiences.

Re:bold.. same page with that!

I def think it's dependant on the person cycling the carbs. I like the mod days b/c the following days w/o SHOULD be HARD so my body welcomes the carbs., Im not doing it to ramp down of sorts, I prefer a shock factor unless my body says "Hey stop that! Feed me!" So I listen.

I am in that stage where I feel I am benefitting from the high carb or even high cal days prior to a workout. My reasoning behind this, and keep in mind this is completely individual and VERY generic info I took from mayo clinic, digestion of food can take up to "24 and 72 hours in healthy individuals. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion and absorption of water. Elimination of undigested food residue through the large intestine usually begins after 24 hours. Complete elimination from the body may take several days."

Without getting study specific & all scientific, I am hoping the energy (which comes from broken down/digested food) will be abundant from the previous days intake, and if not, simple sugars can hype me up, and pwo high GI carbs MAY help spike insulin (usually with Protein) if THAT'S what Im going for. Other times I just eat a REAL FOOD PWO b/c I am starving.

We'll see how it works. I do not like limiting my carbs so should be tough.

 

[badgergrl]

Yup. I agree that it takes awhile to feel the effects. During my last carb rotation I felt the worst on my first carb up day, after two days of no carbs. It wasn't actually the day of no carbs that I felt bad.
We'll see how it goes...things may need to be modified. For now, I'm doing 5 days no carb. I know I'm nuts. I really feel like I'm holding a ton of water, so I thought it would help with that. Saturday is a carb up. Then, I'll start with the high, low, low rotation. No no carb days this time around.

Dang girl hang in there you can do it!!! I believe in you!

I am in that stage where I feel I am benefitting from the high carb or even high cal days prior to a workout. My reasoning behind this...

I am with you here. But - with the choice to carb deplete for five days in a row - or cycling in general - It does take time for me to adjust to this way of eating... It will vary from person to person, 2 weeks or so for me. I will drop water weight, but also less energy than before, esp. if I am coming off anything with refined flour and/or sugar. But after that transition period, your reasoning makes sense to me, too... I like the high carb day on Sunday and then the crazy leg workout on Monday morning. So - feeling the worst on the first carb up day makes sense to me.

Ok, sorry if I jacked here. This is so interesting to me though

Hi Badger! so you are carb cycling to cut? projected cals? and tell me how many days? need to learn..One way to be a total Biatch is low carb!

Monday I'll begin a five-day carb deplete to get me started. Then I'll start carb cycling: High, Low, Low
High days: 150 g Low days: 50g
On the high days I'll shoot for 1800 cals, low days 1500.

Saturday is my first carb-up!!

I'd love to copy your depletion...please post it so I an be a copy cat.
How do you calculate the grams? I weigh 123 lbs. have 6 lbs to get rid of...YUCK! That goes to show you what a month off can do to this 40 year old broad!!!

I've been posting my diet since I started Monday. I'll keep posting it.
How do I calculate what grams? You mean the carb grams? Is so, an average carb intake for me a day is between 120-160...that's usually 30% of my total cals. That's where I get the 150 g for a high day.

Can you tell any difference in your body? Is it flatter or are you less bloated etc.? Just curious & I can only imagine how much you're looking forward to that carb-up!

I can tell that I've dumped a lot of water, so yes, I'm less bloated. I do look flatter, and my muscles aren't as full. I can see my abs again...but there's definitley fat over them!

Hahahah

You and me both sista! Uncle Ned's wife is in town this weekend so that makes things so much better.

Levorex... I just added this, taking 2 caps AM 2 caps PM (but more like meal 3 or 4, late afternoon). You can take it with 1,3,5 if you want to take 3 x a day though.

It should NOT affect your sleep since it does not have 'stims' notorious for that, BUT I think there have been a few reports.. handful maybe.

LOL Yes, Uncle Ned is Flo's Hubby.. so when you got the male acting like a fuggin BRAT Uncle ned must be visiting (compliments of Sarge).

Levorex I take for more of a health supp., not for the fat burning purposes. Has great ingredients up in there.

Do you feel you LOOK the best the day after you carb up? Two days after?

Enjoy it tomorrow - Have a good weekend!

 

[florencia]

You seem to be doing great!! Enjoy tomorrow!

 

[badgergrl]

Do you feel you LOOK the best the day after you carb up? Two days after?

From previous experience with this, I'd say that my body has a delayed response to carbs. Usually a day or two after a carb up

I'll let you know what happens this time around

You seem to be doing great!! Enjoy tomorrow!

Thanks flor! I sure will enjoy tomorrow!! Can't wait! It's actually going to be a cheat of sorts. I'm going to my mom's for a birthday dinner thing. After tomorrow, my next cheat won't be until Thanksgiving.

Yes, in the squat rack. Is that a lot? I know my legs have gotten a lot stronger through this bulk. I think I could do 225, but I get scared. I keep forgetting my belt, too. Need to stop that.

lol Thanks! I need to focus on going a little deeper with the squats....I'm not hitting the booty and hams enough it seems.

I'm OK with cravings surprisingly....I'm feeling really focused.
I have dumped some water cuz I'm noticing more vascularity. I still feel like a fatty though, but that will change I know.
Really need to up my daily water intake.

Nice workout for being a sickling.

Take care & FEEL better!

When I started squatting atf, when I sit parallel it is harder than if I sit a little lower (just below). Sometimes I cannot get the weight up unless I go deep and drive the summabtich up through my heels. The weight transfer & leg positioning WILL take the pressure of your knee but many people still do not like to go too deep. Maybe try it with a light weight to see if you can feel the change.

Thanks for the get wells ladies!! I am feeling much better today!

(whipping myself)

F'ed up on the diet.
Had two pancakes last night and a turkey burger and popcorn today. I just chalk it up to being stressed out and losing focus. I'm not going to let that screw me all up though.
I want to make sure I am logging everything so I can stay accountable to myself, otherwise I'll totally go downhill.

Just a minor setback
