Monsta - are you recording your daily intake via www.fitday.com ?

"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"

Just finished reading your edit. I know it's early but my strength is still there. I have changed my routine around doing 3x3 for the first two then for the last two switching over to explosives ( haven't done these yet) with only 65% of my max.

I will just have to wait and see how things go and like you said I will adjust accordingly.

i dont think it was that site, but IK recommended something like that to me. this chic i know uses a website like that so i added everythign up for a few days and i was getting around 2 to 3000 topps but still getting 300 grams of protein. i was getting 3000 calories on a good. day. it may have been because i was eating a shitload of tuna and chicken breast. i have been lookin at this keto diet on bodybuidling.com. i dont see anything about a carb up day. when do you guys normally do it. an di guess using that site is more important than i though. i will start to use it often.

in sports my will alone will get me from point A to B no matter what. in weight lifting i must understand that from A there is no B. the goal is constant progression and anything i do to hinder the continious straight line is counter productive. My will must be humbled and my humbleness must be willed

yes......i just type and press enter, i dont proofread i did enough of that in college. you know what i meant when i typed it anyway

I use fitday religiously. It's definately not an exact science, but if I put in everything I eat minus a few things, then I know I'm close. Today for instance, I'm at 3,910 cals total. 59% fats, 39% protein, 2% carbs.. My goals are very simple. Get overall cals between a range of 3900-4100 cals, my fats around 60%, the rest in protein w/ carbs > 30 grams.

What makes it easy is that I can just get all my foods for the day on there w/ the correct unit of measure. Then I start adding serving sizes here and there.. 2 cups heavy cream, another 8 oz beef, add in a few more whole eggs.. Eventually, you'll get those numbers with the food you prepared. Then it's a matter of setting a flexable time schedule to fit them all in.

IK gave me some good info on what to eat and im looking up some stuff now. i think i will have ot throw more variety in what i eat. for a little minute i was just eating the tuna and some chicken once in a blue. but if i can get this diet straight i would love it. i would much rather get damn near all my protein from real food than a protein shake. i woudl liek to limit it to just post work out tops

same here.

As for carb up days. I will be doing it every 7th day ( prob Saturday to Sunday) It can be anywhere from 18 - 48 hrs depending on the person. Last week I started Saturday around noon and my last carb meal was Sunday morning. I could have went longer , but honestly I the carbs made me tired and sluggesh so I wanted to end it.

ok. i didnt know that your fat intake would have to be that high. do you have to pay attention to what kind of fats you are eating. like i know mayo is a completely different thing from olive oil. i know im kind of slow with this stuff but it confuses me just a bit. im reading it and grasping it but there is just a little im confused about. and that part is the fats.

did that sluggishness transfer into the gym?
