Stay/Get Back In Shape.... Vol 2.0

[yankeephan87]

I know they say that the optimal time to get in carbs if your on a carb restricted diet is post workout but wouldn't it be better to have them before the workout like for lunch and breakfast so you have energy for heavy lifting?

Brett, check this out: http://theleansaloon.com/2010/08/31/eat-workout-eat/
Seriously, just give IF a shot
Edit: Oh, and about the bulking, yeah, it's possible. Martin Berkhan did it when he first started IF. Check out leangains.com for the details I guess

Is that throughout the day, or immediately before a workout?
Also, is that during your cut or just regularly?

I couldn't believe the effect not eating until 4pm had on me today... each hour felt like torture, especially because I was in three 3hr lectures I didn't want to be in.
By the end of the day I was having a hard time driving home.. traffic was bad enough but the second I got home (coincidentally at 4pm), I ate ate ate and had a huge nap.

I'm going to try this again, although I will slowly phase into it.
I'm thinking for two weeks I consume 8 liquid egg whites and 1/2 cup of my quinoa/oat/egg white mixture in the morning, like a cup of almonds (some chocolate covered) during the day, and a few coffees (w/ creme, sugar) until 4pm. Then slowly ease off that until I'm going w/o any food until 4pm.

Another way Brett is to not having such a big fasting period in the beginning. Like instead of starting right away into Intermittent Fasting where you start eating at 4pm, you can slowly ease your way in by breaking your fast at 12pm and then work your way down to 4pm.

Well, it finally happened to me. I've seen it happen to others, and I would always think in my mind "haha good luck with that, sucker!".

My intrabolic spilled in my bag. Soaked my notebooks, my paper, my gym clothes and my gym shoes. I had to go into the nearest building on campus just to think about what happened. I went into a stall and gathered myself. I decided to throw everything that was soaked away (except my gym stuff).

I went to the gym and tried to wash everything the old fashioned way: in the sink. I dried my tank in the little spinner thingymagig. I thought my shorts would be fine without a wash. Boy was I wrong.

As soon as I put them on, I started itching. My legs felt on FIRE! I washed my shirt because it was all blue, but my shorts seemed normal, so I thought I wouldn't even notice they were soaked. I was scratching all throughout the workout!

I probably looked like I had the herpes or something. I don't know. I put my pockets inside out because they were soaked. I was thinking maybe the intrabolic that was absorbed by the polyester was absorbed into my body through my skin and that this would power me up in some way.

It's extreme broscience, but I was trying to rationalize my not washing the stupid shorts.

Anyway, lesson is make sure your stuff is closed. Those shakers BB hands out for free are free for a reason. Took 3 years, but I never thought it would happen to me.

Is it a rule that progress videos must have gay !#* music?

The next time I switch up my routine, I'm gonna use DBs for the majority of my exercises.

Are my BB lifts gonna go down much (or at all) once I switch back again, since I obviously won't be able to handle as much weight with DBs?

I've always been a BB guy. Just wanna try something new.

You'll adapt. Try going lower carb. The body will learn to handle IF better than eating a standard, higher-carb diet. It's advice that I've heard, but I never actually tried when I started fasting. I think that's a bit too much to have in the morning though. Just my opinion. If/when you feel hungry, eat a piece of fruit, drink some lemon water, or have a few almonds(not too many). Try to limit coffee to just cream or sugar, not both. Do it over time otherwise you may not feel comfortable with it.
As far as the mental aspect, you'll get over it. Just don't think about food. Stay busy.

Word. Brett I feel like you change your eating methods too much. Stick to something and run with it. Don't be flippity floppy.
