You don't need to worry about micronutrients on such a short fasting period.
For you peeps that do full day, 24-36 hour fasts, do you eat vegetables during? (I know this wouldn't really be considered a fast) I'm thinking of fasting on lower cal vegetebales to fulfil micro nutrient needs so I dont develop deficiencies.
I plan on fasting on rest days and pounding carbs and protein on lift days. See what this does for me.
Strong AF, my man!
Damn dude. Nice work.
Looking good. Must be BBQ gains!
New workout absolutely kicking my ass, but definitely making good progress, especially arms:
Log press day with suicical band attachment.

Thanks guys, but the weight is sub par, that said given that I thought I tore my quad a few weeks ago this is looking good. And yeah Sean, it sure isn't hurting.
Dude, you're making that banded press look super easy but I'm guessing it's not. How much weight equivalent is that???
Also, how much were you upright rowing??????????
F*cker lolGiven you barely bulked, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Not sure, it's 150 straight weight, then whatever is band tension. It's not easy, especially at lockout. Doesn't really matter as weight isn't important as training speed. When this is used.
That's a snatch grip high pull and it's great for upper back and traps, and it's 225 on the bar.
That back...it's like a road map to my heart...
I love me some snatch grip high pulls. Can't recommend them enough. Nice work btw, you look like a tank.

Lol
They are a fantastic movement, and thanks.
Okay, I got back on the scale and it read 229 lbs.There's nothing worse than weighing yourself once a week/month and catching your body at the wrong time (holding onto lots of water) and thinking you haven't accomplished anything.
My cut has been subpar D:I'm starting to lose some strength and am caring less about cutting anymore. I think I'm going to skip the sub 10% BF goal. I'm at 10-11% already. I don't think it's worth it :/
Does that just sound like an excuse?
This is what I did. The transition made it much easier on me. I switched to maintenance for a few weeks at least. Dropping 1,000 calories overnight is way too much of a dramatic change for me to handle without becoming super crabby lol...or am I best snipping off 200kcal a week or something until I hit maint at first, then start cutting? I'll still be doing intermittent fasting, if that makes a difference.
After feeling a bit down and unmotivated yesterday i really went for it and smashed PB's on Squat and Bench press, fucking get in there.
now i cant make it upstairs however
When you injure your foot 1.5 weeks out from a race you are very much trying to set a new PR in. Ah life... You motherf***er lol
How bad is it?
I don't know. It's a pain along the outside edge of my foot and some of the padding slightly underneath, between my heel and mid-foot. No idea what it is. It's actually more painful to walk than to run. It hurts when i'm standing flat-footed as opposed to on my toes.
Truthfully, I'm going to only cycle from now until the race and I'm running that race balls out and dealing with the consequences. It's what I always do when I have an injury, but I know one day that will bite me in the ass.
I only run twice a week, specifically to avoid overuse, cycling all of the other days. One thing I realized is that my shoes were pretty damn snug when I used my wool socks this last weekend, and I don't think that helped.Sounds like it could just be overuse, to be honest (you've been running a lot more lately, correct? And you put on weight / muscle so it's extra pressure on your feet). If you broke or tore something, I doubt it'd be okay when running. RICE / cycling only and hopefully you'll feel great on race day!
I'm wondering if it's maybe because of some tightness in my legs (Because I technically work my legs 7 days a week, they never get a rest day).
Good luck with that one. Tell him to enjoy some peanut butter while your at it.Pretty sure you just answered your own question there Pt, have a break dude

On the subject of transition, how does one go from cut --> bulk without becoming a fatass? Slowly increase calories per week? Jump straight into maintenance?On the subject of cutting... what's the best way to transition? I've been gaining a little shy of 0.5lbs a week averaged out over my bulk, and I'm thinking I might as well do a reasonably slow cut as well (it's REALLY hard for me to gain strength with all the cardio I do, and I don't want to lose it.)
So what's the best way to switch? Do I just take off 500kcal to start and adjust from there, or am I best snipping off 200kcal a week or something until I hit maint at first, then start cutting? I'll still be doing intermittent fasting, if that makes a difference.
Ha, I've not had a sex drive in years. Unlike a lot of people, working out did nothing for me in that respect.

Well, you'll just need to upgrade your ride. Ditch the turbo trainer for something with a bit more horsepower.
Seriously, I would all suggest you get your test levels checked out. If anything, just to get a base of where you are.
