yeah. But by not going heavy, I feel like my workout is unproductive. But I know that form is very important and I was actually pretty happy to have someone critique me. He certainly spoke like he knew what he was doing.

Hey Jamy. I got schooled today in the gym. My deadlift form is pretty bad. I tried to imitate what the guy is doing, but my form is still off a bit. I think I'm gonna have to drop the weight a lot until I get my form right.. I always knew it wasn't good. I'm sure my form for squats and bent...

ahh so i should go: monday - back - mod carbs tuesday - arms - low carbs wed - chest - mod carbs thurs - shoulders - low carbs fri - legs - high carbs sat/sun - rest - no carbs What do you think about not lifting the day after high carbs though? Since my body is in the full/fed state, shouldnt...

so monday - back tuesday - arms wed - chest thurs - shoulders fri - legs sat/sun - rest? Which days do I do no carb, low carb, moderate carbs, and carb up? Also, do you think I will overtrain my arms by doing them separately?

Yes. Very much so. I also tried to do lunges today after squats. I had never done them before, but I do have pretty good form with squats. I just could barely do lunges even with 20 lbs on the bar.. it just feels very awkward and I feel like I can't even get up to starting position. Could it...

Yeah, I guess I could do that. I thought I was trying to max out on carbs for the day, but I also realize you don't want carbs before bed either.

Thanks Jamy! I'm not sure how to cycle the carb days.. how does this look: Mon - chest/triceps - PWO cardio - low carbs Tues - back/biceps - pwo cardio - moderate carbs wed - off - no carbs thurs - shoulders - PWO cardio - low carbs fri - legs - high carbs sat - AM cardio - low carbs sun - off...

I only have the casein midday on no carb day with 2 TBSP PB. If I lift on no carb day, then I would have it with whey instead. Do you guys think it should be whey even if no carb day falls on a rest day? Welt, on carb up day, i am trying minimize dietary fats as much as possible. what should...

Hey Jamy and Welter. I changed my diet pretty dramatically. This is what it looks like now: No Carb day: (Rest days) 8am: 5 Omega-3 eggs 350 / 23g F / 5g C / 30g P 11am: 5 oz cooked Turkey Breast (grilled), mixed veggies (broccoli, brussels sprouts, string beans), 1 TBSP EVOO 319 / 17g F...

yeah I've seen ezekiel bread in the stores.. it looks like it could be made out of cardboard :P

i love red potatoes.. but how do I replace the rye bread since I am using it with deli meat? :/ I don't know what else to put the meat on. By the way, I am eating the rye bread and turkey sandwich before my workout. Also, I only eat the 100% whole wheat pasta on high carb days.

Do carbs made up from insoluble fiber count towards your daily carb intake? How about towards your caloric intake? Are they even digestible? Thanks!

Hey Jamy and all. What do you think of this: Carb cycling diet: Mon - medium - chest/triceps - PWO cardio Tues - high - back/biceps - pwo cardio? wed - low - off thurs - medium - shoulders - PWO cardio fri - high - legs sat - medium - AM cardio sun - low - off Low - days off - Sunday and...

hah! Do you think my low carb day has too few calories? it is below my BMR.. maybe i should bump it up? Also, I guess I should set my medium carb day and high carb days to have the same calories? Those days fall on workout days, but I dont know if 2200-2300 calories are enough.

I was eating 2200 calories on off days and 2500 on workout days. The extra calories on the high days came from the PWO whey shake and bagel. I also had a once a week refeed day with 3200 calories or so and all carbs/protein.. no dietary fat. But Jamy, I thought it was good practice to adjust...
