Oakley's Diet and Training Log

[GasmanX]

That's exactly what happened. Best 10 weeks of my recent life.

Almost died, but didn't. Lucky me!

Damn, been almost four months since i've been in here. Currently cutting down for another rebound with Justin Harris. I haven't started back up with him yet. Going to get myself lean first, maybe cruise for a bit, and then hit it hard with him after that.

Over the last four months, and during that last growth phase, I've learned I just can't keep up with any kind of frequency or volume. Seem like the less I do, the better I grow. I guess my body is a weak little bitch and can't handle a beating like a lot of other guys can handle. I slowly took volume out, progressed better week by week, then slowly cut training day, and my lift progression went through the roof. Training three days a week, and only doing a top set after a couple warm ups had my log book progressing every single training day. It was absolutely nuts. I've continued this as I've cut weight and I'm holding strength on all compounds, and every single isolation exercise has still progressed.

I've structured my diet a bit different this cut than I have in the past. Only eating four meals a day, each with 40-50g of protein each meal, 40-50g of carbs, and no real added fats unless I eat some pistachios or cook my eggs in butter/ghee. I do eat six whole eggs a day, everyday so that is where 95% of my fat comes from. I've always done one high day a week in the past, but this cut I let the scale tell me when I need a refeed. Everytime the scale is 2lbs lower than my previous low, I have a refeed. Those days I eat 800g of carbs, and usually get 150-200g of direct protein in, no added fats, no whole eggs.

Today is a high day and my weight has been dropping faster and faster, so I'm trying to get 800g of carbs in plus a free meal. I'm 800g of carbs in right now and stuffed so we will see what else I can get in before i go to bed.

Here are check in pics from this morning flat as a pancake:

glad to see your back bro! i like the plan. Too easy to get wrapped up in thinking we need to do more. You used your intuition and knew that wasn't the play and adjusted. Thats what a smart bodybuilder would do.
