I’ll drop 20g off the rice I have for my second meal and and some yoghurt to maintain the total calories. Does this sound ok or would the be a better option instead of yoghurt? I’ll run some numbers tonight cheers brother.

if you can I would try it, go under 100 grams of carbs and try to get into a light ketogenic state but you'd need a bit more fat and try to do IF fasting @Allupfromhere
 
Allupfromhere said:
What would you suggest as far as eating window? I have set break times at work so my entire calorie intake would have to be consumed during those breaks? Not sure if IF will work for me right now. I could be wrong though @LevButlerov
Click to expand...
@Allupfromhere the best to start off is 18/6 if you can handle it but 16/8 if you can't
Means 18 hours no food, 6 hour refeed, but you can try 16/8 to test it and wet your feet.

If I was to try and implement this, the 6 hours I would have available I would only get 2 opportunities at work to eat. I would have to eat around 1250cals at each sitting to reach my daily calorie intake. That’s I big volume of food to eat at once lol not sure I could stomach it. Would get my lunch break at 12.30pm ideally eat my breakfast meal and second meal here. 5.30pm would have to try and eat my lunch meal and arvo snack and dinner as I would still be driving at 6:30 at the end of my refeed window. Does this seem right or am I misunderstanding? Sorry for the silly questions brother I’m just trying to understand correctly. As always mate appreciate the advice!

@Allupfromhere you can boost that to 8 hour feeding window, you should be able to fit the food in there.

walnuts thats your goto perfect for omega 3
and to get carbs under 100 is VERY hard, you have to boost the fat up when you do that
it has to be either moderate carbs or fat, so increase fat intake, add avocado/walnuts/fish oil to boost it to 130 as you cut the carbs @Allupfromhere

It’s only really 2 or 3, depending on the exercise, working sets to failure there’s alot of sets there just to get used to the movement and building up to the working sets. Yeah I always warm up with some cardio just to get some heat in my body. 3.30am the gym is always cold lol.

lets make the macro adjustments and see man :) @Allupfromhere
on the training you gotta warm up a bit 15min or so
 
So rest day for me today, still went to the gym this morning and did an hour of fasted cardio on the elliptical and then did some core and ab work.

5 sets hanging knee raises
5 sets of decline sit ups
5 individual minute planks.

Now for the diet. Had my last meal yesterday at 5.30pm. Fast forward to 9:30am today was my first meal, trying a 16/8 window on for size matched with some macro adjustment for a few weeks to see how things go.

Food and macros as of today moving forward;

9:30am first meal is the egg omelette and 200g of extra lean mince.
Took the rice out completely and joined my (previously) first and second meal. This change allowed me to get the total daily carbs to 100g.

Total cals 658

Protein 68g
Carbs 10g
Fats 36g

Second meal still the Mexican chicken and rice meal although I have dropped the rice to 30g (dry weight) and have half an avocado with this also.

Total cals 615

Protein 50g
Carbs 39g
Fats 29g

3:30pm snack something quick I can sneak through at work, wpi shake with 56g or walnuts and some yoghurt.

Total cals 589
Protein 47g
Carbs 14g
Fats 39g

Last for the day just before 5:30 is the shepherd’s pie meal along with wpi shake, 46g of walnuts and a yopro yoghurt.

Total cals 441
Protein 44g
Carbs 30g
Fats 14g

Total for the day 2240
Protein 212g
Carbs 101g
Fats 112g

Going to run this setup for the next few weeks and assess from there. Something to add I just bought some psyllium husk, digestive enzymes and probiotics. Will start taking these as soon as they arrive. Talk tomorrow fam cheers.

@Allupfromhere good ratios i see high protein but we can pump it more man :)
waiting on the probiotics start
 
Well first day trying the 16/8 and to be honest it wasn’t the fasting part that was difficult but the volume of food and each sitting. Was still feeling bloated by the time my lunch had come around and almost felt like I had to force my lunch in. Split the third meal up just here and there so I wasn’t like a whole meal and then tackled dinner just before 5:30. Can say lying in bed at 8pm here in Aus still feeling overly full and bloated haha. I know my body just needs to adjust, anyway got home and had a few items waiting on the bench for me. Hopefully these help moving forward.

Legs this morning, felt good didn’t notice a difference being fasted. Interesting to see if I feel a change from this over the next few weeks.

Kicked things off with the staple 10 incline treadmill to heat up then onto;

Lying hamstring curl
Warm up sets
15@30kg
10@45

Working sets
8@65kg
7@65#


Squats

Wasn’t squatting with a barbell up to this stage. Would mostly use the hack squat machine as I was never that comfortable with the movement with the barbell. But squats are king so no point avoiding them. Just built up the weight to feel the movement and form properly.

10@40kg
5@50
5@60

Was feeling comfortable with the movement now so kicked it up to 80kg for 2 working sets 8 on the first and 7 on the second then halved the weight and tried to double the reps from the last set to finish out. Got 12 out racked the bar for 10 seconds and then walked it back out and finished the last 2. Definitely an exercise I want to prioritise improving on.

Didn’t finish with cardio today as I was struggling just walking to my car. I’ll get an hour in this evening though to to keep it in swing.

Food is the same as yesterday nothing but water since 5:30pm yesterday. First meal at 9:30 this morning, only changes is I’ll be adding a protein water some stage to get that to 250g for the day. Another change is I’ve added 18g of psyllium husk spilt into 3 different times. Digestive enzyme capsule with each main meal, 3 in total. 1 probiotic cap per day and a fish oil cap with each meal. Hoping this helps moving forward as the bloat is uncomfortable lol.

@Allupfromhere we should consider cutting your meal intake a bit, if you have a difficult time digestion
but lets start with probiotics and digestize enzymes with fiber in time you'll feel better

Another change is I’ve added 18g of psyllium husk spilt into 3 different times. Digestive enzyme capsule with each main meal, 3 in total. 1 probiotic cap per day and a fish oil cap with each meal. Hoping this helps moving forward as the bloat is uncomfortable lol.

The body adapts
 
yeah definitely especially on your journey you want to keep your legs balanced
don't just build strong quads and ignore the backside
 
very nice I'm liking the Romanian deadlifts
and you're doing the perfect amount of weight where you're keeping control
 
leg press looks solid
getting depth is the way it should be done
 
ass to grass squats are good but don't do them like that on ever set
mix things up a little bit
 
I would suggest some box squats
that will really help prevent you from leaning forward and engage more muscles
 
overall very good week of training
keep this up and you'll have really good results going forward
 
definitely even Iron Men will do their competitions while fasted
same with marathon runners that's the way to do it
pro athletes who run around a lot like in soccer won't eat my meal before their game either maybe a banana a few hours prior but that's it

@Allupfromhere yea its ok if you miss the cardio but cut workout short 20min and get AM cardio it would benefit you in future

Lying hamstring curl

15@30kg
10@45

Squats

Wasn’t squatting with a barbell up to this stage. Would mostly use the hack squat machine as I was never that comfortable with the movement with the barbell. But squats are king so no point avoiding them. Just built up the weight to feel the movement and form properly.

10@40kg
5@50
5@60

Was feeling comfortable with the movement now so kicked it up to 80kg for 2 working sets 8 on the first and 7 on the second then halved the weight and tried to double the reps from the last set to finish out. Got 12 out racked the bar for 10 seconds and then walked it back out and finished the last 2. Definitely an exercise I want to prioritise improving on.

Hit a peak pb on this exercise this week which I’m stoked about. Wanted to get 5@150 last week and got even more than that this week.

Tapered down with a couple of sets because I was too excited. Not massive weight but it’s a first for me.



Iso lateral high row

8@80kg
8@80
6@80

Swapped out straight arm lat pull downs for this exercise. I just wasn’t feeling them properly these last couple of weeks and as the saying goes; if you don’t feel it, you don’t grow it. Happy with this change.

20 mins cardio on the assault bike - this was heaps harder then I expected lol.

Felt fantastic in there today, I didn’t want to leave. Not sure if it’s the diet change, fasting or just a mental thing but really feeling good in my workouts this week.

First meal of the day wasn’t until 11:30 was took me to 18 hours fasted. Gonna lower my daily calories down to 2100-2200ish. Will be able to get my carbs well under 100g for the day and won’t feel like I’m having to force food in. The gut supplements are beginning to help I think, bloat isn’t anywhere near what it was and passing the food through has definitely become easier. Psyllium husk 18g split 3 time throughout the day, 1 digestive enzyme cap half hour before each main meal and 1 probiotic cap daily.

1st meal egg omelette and 2 turkey sausage’s. Don’t mind the photo, I forgot to take it before I started eating lol and I know the omelette doesn’t look that flash but I can never flip them properly haha. I’ll update the rest of todays food this arvo.

1st meal
Total cals 628
Protein 52.7
Carbs 14.6
Fats 40

Just to finish off the food for today;

Lunch was 200g chicken breast and some avocado

Total cals 332
Protein 47.1g
Carbs 6.8g

Arvo snack was wpi shake, yoghurt and some walnuts.

Finally dinner was 250g scotch fillet steak and green veggies.

Carbs 19.8g
Fats 30.7

Total daily intake 2126 cals
Protein 221g
Carbs 66g
Fats 110g

Macro are pretty much where we are aiming and manipulated the meals so it was a little less volume to consume in the shorter eating window. Keen to see the influence of this diet over the next few weeks.

Friday legs;
Legs

Lying hamstring curl
15@35
15@45
15@45
11@45#
Aimed for more volume this week with these as recommended from the man @Eddie Haskell


Squats
Couple of warm up sets to get going.
10@40kg
5@60
8@80

Felt a slight click, in the right hand side of my pelvis, on the last rep, not painful but didn’t feel natural so dropped the weight for the last 2 sets.

8@70
6@70##


Leg press
5@120
5@160kg
10@200
10@200 1 rir
9@200##

Kept the weight a little lower and added volume on these after the squats just in case. Couldn’t even get the last one back up, left it on the stoppers and unloaded the plates from there.

Saturday I give myself another rest day as I had second round of club championships with golf and didn’t want to burn myself out early morning.

Sunday; chest

As always 10 mins warmup to get things going.

Started with incline bench today and the hammer strength chest press machine was taken and all the benches were taken also so changed from dumbbells. Couldn’t believe how busy it was for a Sunday morning.

Couple of warm up sets

10@40
10@60

Then onto the working sets

Standing Calf raisers
15@115kg

Finished up with 40mins incline treadmill.

Diet has been consistent. Each day running around 220g protein, 100g fats and around 70ish carbs. Staying pretty tight to 2100cals daily.

big volume day I see you doing well with this high protein :D
 
So fam I wanted to get this out in the open and not sure why I immediately didn’t. Evo is the least judgmental place to discuss these things and maybe I just feel like I jumped the gun before I should have but here we are anyway.
Three weeks ago I started 200mg of test e a week. Low dose trt kinda range just to see how my body would respond to it. Two things straight up, I know I should have waited longer and second I should have had bloodwork done before anything. After two weeks though I need to see for myself, so went to the doctor for a complete overview and check up with bloods and everything has come back in perfect range.
What did surprise me is how high my total test levels were after just 2 week at that dose. Disappointed now because I wish I could have seen where my natural levels were at previously and the bloodwork doesn’t show anything for my e2 levels and I hadn’t mentioned anything to my doc about me taking test which I’m sure he knows now judging by the comments in the review section for test levels. Conversation I’ll have with him when I see him next.

Next thing is Tuesday night getting hooked up to the matrix and seeing exactly what’s happening with my sleep. Will know moving forward if a cpap is something I’m going to need as I know I have problems with my sleep.

Now I just wanted to put all this out there because I really want to keep my log completely transparent, fully open to any opinions, criticism and or advice about it all. Have attached all bloodwork results too. Cheers fam sorry I didn’t post all this sooner.
