Oakley's Diet and Training Log

East fix. PLAN your weeks with refeeds, but when you get that big crazy urge to have a cheat or special occasion you do it. Even if it’s 3 refeeds for every 1 cheat you are ahead of the game. That’s just how I would program it. Gotta be flexible. 😎
Got it. Thanks a ton!
 
Fasted Weight: 194.8lbs
High Day: 225 P / 600 C / 0 F


Well boys, offseason has officially begun! I'm pretty excited about it and I'm glad I'm back to a point where I'm enjoying this stuff again.

Diet
Starting the diet off very conservatively and will bump it over the next few weeks based on what I'm seeing in my weekly pictures. All macros are direct, so actual calories are higher than posted. Protein sources are eye of round, chicken breast, raw ahi tuna, shrimp, and fat free fairlife milk. Carb sources are white rice, oats, fruit, bread, pasta, white potato, sweet potato, low fat cereal, fat free fig newtons, etc. Fat sources are whole eggs, pistachios, cashews, nut butters, fit butter, and ghee.

Starting macros:
High Day: 225 P / 600 C / 0 F
Medium Day: 250 P / 365 C / 36 F
Low Day: 270 P / 185 C / 65 F


Training
Currently running an Upper/Lower split six days a week. Hitting every body part three times a week with moderate volume. Taking everything to 1RIR except for RDL's. My lower back has always given me issues so I only use RDL's after lying leg curls to really stretch the shit out of my hams. I'm hitting 8-10 reps the first set, drop the weight, then I will be shooting for 12-15 reps the following sets. Hoping this gives me good mechanical tension the first set, and then some blood flow and volume for the following sets. :unsure: I don't know.. Something I've been talking to chatgpt about. :ROFLMAO:

Starting Weekly Volume:
Chest: 12
Back: 12
Shoulders: 12
Triceps: 9
Biceps: 9
Abs: 6
Quads: 12
Hams: 12
Calves: 9


Supplements
1250 Test
500 Primo
300 Deca
9iu GH
Humalog

Fish Oil (3g DHA, 1.5g EPA)
Natto (4,000 FU)
Astragalus (2200mg)
Berberine (1200mg)
Citrus Bergamot (2400mg)
Multivitamin
D3+K2 (10,000iu + 200mcg)
ZMA
Telmisartan (40mg)
Cialis (5mg)

The gear is obviously very high. I know that. If I have any issues, I will address it immediately. I've always taken my bolus GH dose at night before bed. This offseason, I will be eating my pre workout meal with humalog 90 minutes before training, and then taking the bolus GH dose 45 minutes before training. I've never done this before but have been reading a lot of good information on the benefits of this in an off season setting. We will see if I notice any differences in this approach over what I've always done.

Here are starting pictures from yesterday morning. Lets grow!

Fasted Weight: 197.8lbs
Waist: 33.875"


Week 1 of the bulk is over and it went as well as I could have hoped. I actually look a bit tighter in the lower back and love handles. Up 3lbs from a week ago. Going to keep it tight this cycle so I'm only looking for 0.5lb-1lb weight increases each week. Might see a bit more this week as I'm sure I'm still filling out. Taking waist measurements fasted each morning to monitor as many variables as possible.

Added 30g of carbs on my medium day and bumped protein up 5g each day:

High Day
230 P / 601 C / 0 F

Medium Day
255 P / 395 C / 39 F

Low Day
275 P / 185 C / 65

Made some adjustments to training as well. I'll start posting my daily training and fasted weight again. Todays training:

Why are you adding calories if you are up 3lbs in a week?
Because of what the pictures and waist measurements have shown over the last 7 days. Waist measurement is down even though I’m up scale wise. The pictures show I’m definitely leaner in my lower back and love handles. I started straight out of a cut so I was depleted. If I’m soaking all the carbs up in the muscle and nothing has spilled under the skin, the scale weight is kind of irrelevant at this point in the bulk. I’m expecting a jump in scale weight this week too, maybe 1.5-2lbs just because it’s so early in me filling out. I think once I fill out, the scale will be a more reliable metric to base decisions off of. Even then, waist and pictures will be my primary metric for basing changes off of.

That was my thought process this morning. Where do you disagree?
 
No I didn’t take it like that at all. I love this kind of stuff, so if you’d do it differently, I’d love to hear your perspective. And everyone else’s.
If it were me and I gained weight and gym performance was solid, I wouldn’t add more food. At the same time, you only added 30 grams of carbs so it’s not the end of the world.
 
Fasted Weight: 199.6lbs
Waist: 33" (used a new tape, up 1/8" after high day)


This session really felt good. I've been using more intra carbs than I ever have in the past and I'm liking it so far. I've never had pumps like this.

Couple things -

Everyone who doesn't know what ghee is are missing out

Your GH dosing is what I found worked best for me over the years

Love the training frequency

Dude, Ghee is literally the first thing I just noticed in your log... I thought, this is a real mother fucker right here. :ROFLMAO:

I was taking 18iu of GH with Justin. Not because he asked me to, but because I wanted to give it a run. I don't really feel a difference between 9iu and 18iu. So I thought I'd roll with 9iu and see what kind of progress I can make.

I'm actually liking it too for some reason. I've always been a train less frequent, low volume, intensity guy, but the one time I tried a high volume, 2x/week approach, I made really good progress. This upper lower feels pretty good so far. I'm excited to see what happens with it over the next 4-6 months.
 
Okay, whats special about Ghee?
Like I know its basically clarified butter and makes for excellent popcorn butter, but why is it special?

The smell. The flavor. It's just amazing to cook with if you have room for it in your added fats. Can handle super high temperatures too.
That.

It's just the most buttery butter you can get.

A big part of sustaining a diet is actually enjoying eating the same stuff day in and out, some ghee with salt on top of whatever it is you're having for the 4 millionth time is delicious every time
