Weight isn't coming off like I'd like yet, and so doing just 1 set of deads and working out 3 times a week... Some iso work every other off day and cardio on opposite off day. Most cardio is lower leg work... Holding deads at 220lbs x 10reps which is my absolute max at current carb intake :S...

Have been clustering.... And sometimes "dropsets"to keep volume up when I'm feeling REALLY less than optimum. Deads are killer on a deficit!

Is it important to drop your volume on a cut? I realize you'll likely not put any muscle on thru a deficit, but if you can handle normal volume while cutting, is that okay?

Same website I got my carb backloading routine... And probably the same author. Lol I might "plus" my routine with bcaa's pre meals during the day and middle of the night (I wake to pee anyways.)

Of course...thanks Mick :)

Should I take an SD in the middle of a cut?? Been doing 10's for weeks and weeks now. Think maybe going up to 5s instead. But then what....?

Lol @ good dump!! Love the 2 pounders!

The consensus here is, to properly bulk, you have to eat surplus calories, which inevitably leads to some fat gain. Get yourself at a lower fat % and start a slow bulk, more protein calories and carbs for workout strength and monitor your weight daily BUT adjust your calories only after 8 or 12...

About your Saturday and IF strategy....I never go much beyond noon or 1pm without some fat or protein. BCAA's or some fish oil caps or half a scoop of protein with water (basically just to try and spare muscle atrophy)

And besides, I'd rather suffer thru hiit workouts than cut anymore calories. I am NOT giving up carbs and to keep adequate protein and stay in a deficient, my intake will be higher than just a strict cutter like Totz. My carbs are already down from 300ish to 100ish and that's noticeable in the...

I log my calories daily...I don't cheat anything. And I certainly don't drink cola. I adhere to my calories on weekends, but not CBL on weekends, and I have a refeed on Thursdays. Last summer I was steadily upping my calories and not gaining weight. Cold Canadian winters and lack of day light...

Certainly true, it can't be disputed. The factor here is, we don't live in a clinic. ;)

I have had 1 refeed day a week its probably too much...I used this day as a way to help prevent stalling my metabolism. I think my body sees that as an opportunity to store fat for the upcoming 6 day fast. I don't mind the extra cardio/plyo work. I'm almost 45 years old and I should be...

A month is too long for me....I need immediate action. Lol That why I'm gonna do....Insanity: The Asylum on my off days. Starting today!! At the least, I'll up my meta. And I'll be able to up my calories slightly = more carbs and protein. I'll never again try a "bulk" in the traditional sense...

Yeah, struggled to add weight last year. That was nice :) I'll do a cardio boost/calorie boost for a couple weeks away from CBL...

Not that much protein. 140 or 150....carbs 100 to 110 or so. I dontchave that much room at 1500 cal

At first I was taking into consideration the workouts (so I was actually consuming more caloriez) but the last 4 weeks I stopped doing that. 1500 is total daily calories.

That's not 100% accurate. I was closer to 180 around thanks giving /Xmas/new years from bulking, but it was a lot of fat as getting sick a couple of times slowed my workouts. But yeah, that's my last 7 or 8 weeks right there^ Ugh

I'm targeting 1lbs currently. Obviously an adjust needs to be made to up it to 2lbs. Maybe a reset is in order. And I plan on adding some HIIT when the weather gets nicer. My meto must be WAY out of wack! Canadian winter will do that to ya. Lol. I think a cardio boost instead of a calorie...

Here is the last 8 weeks or so.... Looks like weekends are the setbacks. But I usually workout on Saturdays and for the most part, stick to the diet. Weekends are more sedatary however...
