Glad to read your still killing it.
Glad to read your still killing it.
So today I started adapting little by little toward Cab Back loading.
My schedule was kinda like this:
8:00AM - got up, made breakfast, hit the gym on Glutamine, BCAA's and creatine monohydrate, 1/2 tbp of Coconut oil and my ECY stack (been experimenting a bit with Yohimbine in the AM's instead of Asprin lately) + Vanillean + 2x thyrocaps.
9:00AM - got to the gym, killed HIIT style workout especially for different ab movements, got out in about 20 minutes tops
9:45AM - ate breakfast, showered, was at work a little before 10:30 AM.
12:00PM - Can of tuna, Low fat cottage cheese and sliced almonds
2:00PM - 70 grams of Brocolli and Cauliflower mix + 160 grams of Grouper fish
3:00PM - 1x Vanillean, 1x thyrocap, ECA stack (this time with the asprin) + 1000mg's of PLCAR
3:15PM - Got off of work (today's part time).
Made it to the gym at 3:30 PM and killed delts, started with pre-exhaustion on the medial delts, only 2 sets of 2 different exercises. 1) kettlebell lateral raise, single arm, hanging with the other arm for extra range of motion and 2) Really light, around 20 pound straight elbow lateral raises (holding it up for a few seconds each time). Then did 4 sets of military press, finished with 80 pound dumbbells, which kinda became a challenge after my medials were DEAD, (I could go around 90 pounds without spot just fine... but today 80's was killer to make it to 8 reps without any spot). Then finished with handle-less cable grip bended down, triggering posterior deltoids with about 25 pounds and then upping it to 40 pounds, felt an amazing pump (love working delts with precision on the different muscles everytime).
4:00PM sharp started drinking my 70 grams of Glyco-Maize + 35 grams of HydroWhey shake mix through back workout.
Started with really wide grip pullups (going a bit wider than shoulder width, and really focusing on the width of the lats, pausing at 3 different contraction points on the way up, and really going down and stretching fully and slowly) 4 sets of those. Then went to do a similar movement with the 2 opposite handles on the machine, and nailing that one heavy, about 2 sets. Then did 3 sets of overhead, went light, about 50 pounds, to really focus on contraction point and especially the stretch. And ended with single arm, fully bended on the dumbbell stack, dumbbells rows.
60 pounds x 15 reps
70 pounds x 8 reps
80 pounds x 6 reps
Really squeezed the fully contracted position for about 2-3 seconds, even with the 80's.. and that was it.. I was dead afterward. (sat down and ate a few poptarts), then head home.
5:30PM - 700 grams of Baked potato + 75 grams of Grouper fish (see below)
650 grams potato.jpg
7:45PM - 3.5 cups of white rice + 75 grams of Grouper fish.
now, I'm about to hit my casein shake and then crash good and deep.
Nice clean backload...
What's your total calories macro breakdown on your ULC and CBL days??
Haven't gotten too deep into calorie details. But on ULC days I would probably consume about 7 meals of about 35 grams of protein each. Carbs area as low as possible, and I get them out of about 2 handful of almonds or wallnuts, and probably 1/4 cup cottage cheese. The little carbs I would get from Broccoli and artichoke or some other veggies also. Fat comes from the 3 egg yokes, about 3 TBPS's top of coconut oil and avacado's.
CBL's are basically the same throughout the day till around 4PM when I take in as much carb as I can possibly take in 3-4 hours.
2 more weeks and I'll be on the cycle, so I'll see if I might raise up the protein and fat a bit more

Burly, I was just about to crash... But I value your advise/pointers so highly that I had to take these... the lat spread came a bit blurry though...
