wow! WOW! it has been damn near a year since ive been in here...i just re read this whole thread.
A LOT has happened in the past year! wow, i have learned a ton. god my posts were annoying.
so i am doing a CDK again. as you can see by my avitar, i did do a bodybuilding competition (onebreath, i think i saw a post from a long time ago where you asked if i had ever considered it), and it was a great experience. nothing like 13 weeks of pure unbridled torture
the competition was March 27th, i began my prep Jan 2.
altho i didnt really come in here much anymore, i did continue to carb cycle, altho between the months of my last post on here and January, the whole program was less than honorable...i was always doing SOMETHING, but perhaps not always doing it RIGHT...ie, no cardio at all...taking the whole WEEK of christmas off of any sort of program...ya know.
but whatev. the competition did wonders for me, i made some REALLY good habits during that time, and now am excited to do the ol CKD again - CORRECTLY - and enjoy some recomp
im also trying some other new things, if you poke around in the womens section, im sure youll see.
good times, good times.
so: after re reading my posts in this thread, here is what happened last time:
-low carb monday thru friday, eat a bunch of shit and probably drink a few drinks saturday and sunday
-lift 3x per week, one day for upper, one day for lower, one depletion work out, little to no cardio.
aaaaaaaand heres whats gonna happen this time:
-low carb monday thru satruday, CARB UP sunday (maybe occasionally saturday evening)
-5 days of lifting - monday back, tues chest, wed legs, thurs abs, fri arms/shoulders. (this is what ive been doing since jan, works well for me)
-1 hour of cardio every single day, in the morning on an empty stomach. remember i said i made some good habits during contest prep? this is one of them. may as well keep doing it, im used to it, and its a total mindfuck if i miss one of my am cardio sessions...plus, i got pretty friggin lean for the show, and am still only at 13% right now, and ill be damned if any unescessary fat is gonna come back on my body.
-cleaner eating: sometimes, during the low carb phase before, there were processed meats, ect..but im gonna just stick to cleaner more natural foods this time around. i have learned to love all natural pb as much as i love skippy. also, the booze: for one reason or another the thought of hard liquor GAGS me (not a bad thing) and i noticed in alot of my old posts...well, moonshine, mai thais, margaritas...ya. not happening this time. i might - MAYBE - have a glass of red wine once in a while.
-supps: going to try some new things. still researching. right now im taking the EC stack again (only becuase i have the appetite of a lumberjack), CLA, Chromium, Flax, and a Multi.
so there you have it kids. a new and improved mattie o, back in action! im gonna do this diet for a while. am i bulking or cutting? not sure yet. will i do another show? probably, it was really fun. did i feel that last time i did this diet, it worked, despite my hedonistic ways? sure. but im really looking forward to this time, see what happens when i do it 110%! plus, im in the best shape ive ever been in to start with, thanks to Novice Womens Heavyweight, so im excited to see what happens.
