    Refeeds not necessary when cutting up?

    Steady state, moderate intensity. However, I think my main avenue of fat loss has been the twice a day workout thing. And dood, that is exactly what I have been thinking. I don't care what I've been told here about refeeds being unnecessary until you reach a low enough bodyfat percentage; I...

    Refeeds not necessary when cutting up?

    I'm pretty much stumped, too. I'm eating 5 meals a day with no carbs during the last two. I'm also only eating low GI carbs, and even then trying to time their intake in the morning and noon following my morning workout.

    Refeeds not necessary when cutting up?

    Either I'm doing something terribly wrong here, or natural dieting down to a 'ripped' bf% just isn't a very viable thing unless you have great genetics (except with a cutting up regimen such as UD2, maybe, that requires insane amounts of tinkering and takes a crazy person to live through). This...

    1Kg lost? Cant be right....

    The human body does work in mysterious ways... I've been cutting up for a while now, currently doing the first week of my 6 rep block (I know most people do a 5 rep block, but I've always done a 6er instead), and thus expecting to be losing weight at a steady rate. I'm eating around 2300...

    1Kg lost? Cant be right....

    It's probably just a natural fluctuation due to a decrease in the amount of water weight your body is carrying around. If you have eaten less (less carbs in particular) for a day or two, it's perfectly normal. Also, if you've been eating lots of salty foods or sodium from other sources (diet...

    Changing from 3x/week to 6x/week..

    Yep, I've been doing a light refeed every saturday, i.e. eating around maintenance with more carbs. It seems to help ward off overtraining, as I often feel a bit fatigued towards the end of the week. One more question, though: you burn more calories and glycogen during your 15s, right? Now, if...

    Changing from 3x/week to 6x/week..

    Alright, thanks once again noobie and jester! I'm starting my 6 rep block tomorrow, and I'll see how things turn out if I do 2 training sessions a day. If it starts to feel overwhelming, I can always drop back down to one session a day, 3 times a week, and up the cardio back to 4 x a week...

    Changing from 3x/week to 6x/week..

    Hey all, I read a while back about how much greater your caloric requirements and fat burning are if you work out twice a day, or six times a week in general. I was thinking, would it be a bad idea in regards to a risk of overtraining if I wanted to speed up the fat loss by changing from 3x/ a...

    What do you eat on a daily basis

    I eat 5 meals a day; the last one or two being zero carb, depending on whether I'm bulking or cutting up. Other than that, here is what I ate yesterday (right now I'm cutting up): Breakfast: 2 cups of oats, 1 slice of rye bread (very low GI and high fiber) with low fat soft spread, a small bowl...

    Where are you from?

    Another Finnish guy here... I've lived in California for a few years, though (the Bay Area, to be more precise). I absolutely loved the weather and the pace of life over there, and also learned to write flawless English and speak with a perfect American accent, which I use to get more chicks up...

    Starting new cutting up cycle...

    Thanks for the input, noobie. :)

    Starting new cutting up cycle...

    Totentanz, why would you want to increase volume when dieting? Wouldn't that simply lead to an increased risk of overtraining? I can understand the reasoning behind increasing frequency, but I'm not quite following you here. :confused:

    Starting new cutting up cycle...

    Jester, that is exactly what I thought. I'll be sticking to my regular sized post workout maltodextrin shake, then. One more Q (I'm probably getting on people's nerves already with this overflow of questions ): when doing a cutter, you should reduce volume from your weight workouts to avoid...

    The Look

    Hmmmm... my ideal body would be around 10% BF, with a large chest, massive shoulders, wide back, and monster calves! Seriously, I don't really care about my leg size, other than my calves. There is no upper limit to how big I would like to see them get. I seem to pack on mass in the shoulders...
