thanks ironwings! im so proud! i posted these on facebook as well...people are so narrow minded. i keep getting messages like "your gonna look like a dude" and "careful, your gonna kill yourself" and "are you juicin?" so annoying. no, people, just because i actually get off my ass and get into some fitness doesnt mean i use steroids. come on. i dont have a beard.

lol. This is all translated as "there must be some reason that i'm a fatass and you look great, oh yeah, you must be cheating or on the verge of killing yourself to look that way. Yeah that's it, now i can be comfortable with being a fatass for a little while longer. Please take my abrasiveness as a hint that i don't like you reminding me that i'm a fatass so either don't post pictures or start becoming a lazy, bitter fatass like me".

What i despise is being in a store and some drunken slob at the checkout says "workout much?" in a snotty tone. As if i'm the freak and he's the norm. Unfortunately here in the great big fat united states he's probably right.

I just realized that their bitterness just turned me equally bitter towards them. That makes me even more bitter lol.

i know, when i was reading your post i was saying, ya!...thats f***ing right, dude!" haha, it does make me kinda bitter. o well, f*** em.

heres a question: what kinds of things do you guys eat BEFORE your depletion workout? do you just eat as normal, or not eat as much...? just curious.

I was like..mm..yes in fact, I do workout.


In my mind, I was thinking

Yo OneBreath and Ironwings I'm starting a CKD on Sunday. I've been on a bulk cycle for the last 2 months and had good success with that, gaining 25 lbs. OB have any of your lifts dropped significantly (more than 10 lbs)? I don't want to freak out thinking my lifts are dropping too much when they aren't.

what's up bros, just got back from getting married yesterday. Luckily she didn't run out on me.

ua, to be honest, my lifts didn't go down one lb. Most increased. I DC train though which is very low volume and high intensity. Because it is low volume less glycogen gets used which is great when you are depleting carbs. If you train high volume i think you will suffer a bit but not to much. Be sure the refeeds are big and you shouldn't have any issues. The more glycogen you can stuff in your muscles during those refeeds the better those workouts will be during the week.

I plan on starting CKD soon as well, I just got done bulking too. Can you help us out with some meal ideas/recipes? I tend to get hungry at about 230 or 3 pm while at work. So easy things would be great!

Allright I just got done punching everything in on fitday. I honestly can't see where all the fat is supposed to come from without buying EFAs, but screw it I'm gonna stick with what I got for the first week and then adjust if needed. It comes out to almost exactly 50/50 on the protein/fat ratio. I'm going to keep it pretty simple for now -- I'm using your ideas for that TEAMSKIP pudding and shake, and everything else is just chicken, salmon, a little bit of olive oil, and ANPB.

Honestly the only thing I'm going to miss while doing this is milk. I literally have been drinking almost an entire gallon of whole milk every day for the past 2 months on my bulk. My roommate looks at me in awe and says he's never seen anybody drink milk like I do. I'm going to miss it.

Damn, i bet just going from 1 gallon of milk to no milk will shrink your midsection fast. Unless you are genetically gifted in the milk digestion area. Last year i drank around 3/4 of a gallon of full fat milk each day during a bulk and damn if i didn't bloat up fast. I just can't digest it that well. It sits on my stomach. For my refeeds i even switched from using skim milk in my cerial to protein drinks to mimic the milk.

As far as the fat goes definitely don't worry about it. When i first started i was a nazi about getting those ratios just right. I've since realized that its all very individualistic. Some will do fine on less fat, others will need more to keep from feeling like complete hell. You'll know by the end of the first week what you need.

My only suggestion is on the day after the refeed, take in extra fat. Ideally saturated fat. Like big steaks and eggs. This gets me back in ketosis quicker and makes the transition back to low carb much easier.
