Good luck!

I've got my own get leanish plan, not really get ripped. Will cutting alcohol to two days a week be enough? I really need to start up the weighted backpacking as well, that will probably make it/break it.

FYI, I read on ironaddicts that if youre doing a keto that you should try to drink after carbing up. Don't know if those two bananna's will cut it. Apparently you feel really **** otherwise. This either happened to me two weeks ago, or some fat girl spiked my drink. For the amount I had, I was in a much worse state than usual. So if you drink, think about doing it around carbs if possible.

And f*** me, 5 PR's? Good work.

Cutting alcohol is always a great Idea. From experience, the more you drink the harder it is to lose weight as I've seen Quag. Back when I used to weigh 163 I had problems losing anymore weight due to my consistent drinking...which was for the better cause I was so damn skinny haha.

Not sure if the will cut it either but I feel perfectly fine on a very low carb diet. My body is used to cutting the carbs out. Interesting story...maybe your body is different?

Yeah PR's are nice...thanks man....here are some more haha

QUAG - You know I love to see bold red letters next to everything...strength is down

FLYER - Finding pictures is hard now that the orginial ES pictures were taken down. I'm not exactly sure how Doggcrapp feels about people doing it outside of DC...that's a question you'll have to ask at Intensemuscle.com in the Doggpound. I did find a slideshow of the same photos - http://img396.imageshack.us/slideshow/player.php?id=img396/4756/1163465404m2r.smil

All the photos I had were in a thread that is now taken down.

I will be posting the mock up of my diet on sunday along with the possible new workout that i'm looking at. Not the best two workouts but I blame that on my low carb amounts do to preparing myself for the new diet

 

[I-tallionStallion]

Soooo I didn't post Friday because...I was so drained that I didn't hit really any PRs since trying my new diet. So I have a new diet that I'm going on and it's a more true version of the 'Get Shredded' Diet. Which has been modded by EFFORT to fit my body size.

Here is the macro Breakdown for my 4 meals a day

170g protein 680cals
50carbs 200cals
155g fat 1395 cals

total cals= 2275

so

42.5g pro
12.5g carb
38g fat

per meal = 570 calories about

Only solid foods, and the carbs are almost 100 percent from veggies. Each meal has to be exactly those macros just like Dave Tate did.

-I'll be measuring and getting my scale weight every 2 weeks starting Friday
-I will be using BCAA and CEE creatine
-Morning cardio will be weighted backpacking up giant hills I can find 30 min
-Evening cardio will be a brisk walk around my home for 30 min
-I will take progress pictures to see the before and after
-This will last anywhere from 8-12 weeks and after I'm done shedding the fat, I plan to get bigger
-New workout - Powerbuilding, a combination of PL and BB - You will see what I mean as I go through it but PRs will not be a priority in the gym
-Every two weeks I get a cheat day
-No shakes of any kind
-I will mostly be eating red meat, chicken, cooked eggs, turkey, and all sorts of veggies plus fish oil when I need it

Monday

Deadlift 5x5 - Ramped up

1x5 275
1x5 285
1x5 295
1x5 305
1x5 310

2x5 Ramped down

1x5 295
1x5 285

Burnout set (Go all out til I stop)

1x6 275

I was extremely tired after this workout and my hands are so sore from the bar as I forgot my chalk. I was feeling a bit low on energy but I am fairly happy with my results.

Thats it for now. Later guys
