huh? How?
eat fewer calories than you burn
Only Nausea. I doubt it was intense yoga. I think I am just a weakling.
Bikram yoga? I don't even know what kind of yoga this was. The description said level 1-3. I'm sure I fall somewhere in that range.

Was it heated or unheated? Bikram is typically done in 100+ degree temperatures.
I refuse to do heated yoga.

Cutting is hell for some of us, I feel you Dark Faze.

there isn't any aspect of clean bulking or healthy cutting that's guaranteed to be easy.
Especially given variance in genetic makeup--guys are going to be more prone to weight gain or weight loss, and that's before even talking about the social pressures regarding eating with given American culture.
It's easier for some than others, but dieting is easily the toughest part of this game.

Gotta sweat out those toxins man.
Did you feel better after? I know yoga is always tough for me during the class but afterwards, I feel so loose and relaxed, totally worth it. I think flexibility is one thing lifters really toss to the side.
All I can say to you is that...don't do it. I dirty bulked, got only fat and I'm still trying to lean out. Set me back so much because I've had to spend all this time cutting/recomping.
There's a limit anyway for how much your body can synthesize muscle in a day. There's also an amount of calories which you need to reach this maximum potential. Everything else just spills over to fat.
I guess it's time again to post this:

Ehh, everyone is different. I put on mass easily, but cutting is hell in comparison. Other people can cut easy, but have a difficult time bulking.
Same here. Just more rice and such.
Of course I might pig out a bit more on a bulk but nothing major. Though I definately discourage anyone from doing a "see food diet". It will fuck you up unless you have amazing genetics.
I haven't been overweight since I was a chubby 11 year old kid. I used to drink sodas, eat all kinds of junk food all the time and was never fat, and that's before I stared lifting 3-4 days a week. I'm not really worried about putting on too much weight as putting on weight has always been a struggle for me. I also tend to drop weight fairly quickly once I stop eating above maintenance.
I look forward to dirty bulking mainly because I look forward to indulging in all the things I like to eat, but abstained from during the summer months, not because I think I'm going to get sqole from a huge calorie surplus.
So while I appreciate your concern and I think your advice is sound for the majority of people, I am not too worried about getting fat.
You know yourself of course. Just saying that remember to be careful because it's so easy to get fat without really noticing it until it's too late. I'm now looking at my pics from last november with disgust. I can't fathom how I didn't notice it until then. I was pretty fucking lean in the spring a year ago and I fucked it all up with eating too much. I need to very careful after this cut.
There's a brand of natural frozen sweet potato fries ill probably stock up on. Otherwise I feel like my potatoes go bad so quickly.
I've been basically relying on "porridge rice" which is probably the starchiest of all white rice. Anyway the texture is nice and sticky so I like it. And it's cheaper than basmati or jasmine rice. It's also so easy and quick to just pop some in to the rice cooker and be done with it.
Baked potatoes are also godly, especially when smothered in butter, but I often rely on rice if my diet needs a lot of carbs that day. They are also super easy to make since I just need to wash the potatoes and pop them in to the oven.
Sweet potatoes on the other hand require most preparation and while they are good, they aren't as good as normal potatoes IMO. In Finland they are still a novelty item and I only tasted them for the first time a year ago or so. Maybe I need to learn how to make them better.

Of course. My original post was kind of jokey, I believe in everything in moderation. I just think I'm going to increase my cheat days. Once I get to my target of about 175 lbs is when ill tone it back down to maintanance mode.
Ok here goes. Pre workout trial.
Lets see if it has any effect on someone with a huge caffeine tolerance.
I can't lose sight of this. I have lost 5 pounds in 8 weeks which isn't bad at all. I just want it all and I want it now!

A bigger mistake imo is skipping the two week maintenance at the end of the cut. Going straight from cut to bulk is a recipe for disaster.
My cut is going on pretty smoothly. Fat loss has leveled out a bit as to be expected, even on a PSMF. Still I've lost 3.9kg/8.6lbs in just over two weeks. In total I've lost 4.7kg/10.3lbs on this cut (3 weeks total).
The fat layer around my upper abs is starting to feel strange. Before it has always been pretty firm and solid whereas now it feels like there's little balls or marbles underneath the skin. It feels uneven. I'm not sure if this is what Lyle refers to as "squishy fat".

I'm with darth on this, there's no amount of bulk fat I can't get rid of on a disciplined 2 month cut. It's why I never worried about fat gain on a bulk. It usually depended upon how much fat I could stand seeing in the mirror everyday which determined how long a bulk would last. HaHa
but what exactly were you expecting to happen? feel more energy? a boost?
I was expecting to be pumped up. Super energized. I dunno, I'm never lacking in energy honestly. Lazy maybe, but not sluggish.
Me and the gf are also going on a cruise in November. Its our first legit vacation together. We went with a pretty cheap Carnival one, however. Excited regardless.
This is like me. Though I do sometimes notice increased focus and endurance. not sure if placebo or not. I have one tub of Jack3d and one tub of assault left, but I think I'm done with pwo after I finish those. Did you take it on an empty stomach BTW?
I think the effects of these things are grossly exaggerated. I did kinda like Jack3d micro and Craze, however. Was going to try hyphy mud today but noticed we only has Coke Zero.
Nah I had a white chocolate raspberry quest in my belly.
....ok and 2 quest peanutbutter cups.
I'm experiencing this now. It's amazing when you know how to do it. I had to pay a comp prep coach 300 dollars to learn it but it's the best 300 dollars I ever spent.
21 lbs down, 4 weeks, strength close to the same, no cardio...whut?
Yep
Keep an eye on getrippednutrition.com and sportsnutritiononline.com also. Very cheap. I've gotten them for 20 dollars a box on sale there recently and they are regularly priced pretty low.
What sorcery is this? How can this exist?
HOW?
It literally taste like a cookie.
It's amazing. I love the raspberry seeds. Best flavor. Gotta mix it in with something less sweet on occasion too but it's GODTIER
Also, I had a chocolate brownie after not trying one for a couple years. Texture was very different. Actually edible without microwaving now. I think I'd only buy these ones in person after manhandling and feeling them to make sure I got the good ones.

on another note, Quest now has a Pasta:
it's 10 calories per serving. wat
Someone mentioned you can get the same thing on amazon way cheaper (its some
Type of Asian noodle I think)
Ass shots.

Are we nominating thread titles now?
|OT6| Thread of double-underhand deadlifts, leg extension curls, and synthol calf injections
Shirataki noodles. I've had them, they're tasteless and are about as filling as you'd expect a zero-calorie noodle to be.
I second Sean's ass shot motion.
