Thanks man it's just been 4 weeks so my CNS is really just adjusting into it, it feels like. I'm not a big fan of the 20-25 reps and 1 minute rests to be honest. Wicked pumps, can see changes but don't feel like I'm actually progressing with weight. So it's kinda boring and you don't feel good about hitting a PR or adding weight etc getting good pumps but not feeling the burn/tear as much and near the end not getting a good contraction cause getting too tired. You hit a PR and it's like the volume went up but in my brain that doesn't register as gains it's just like I can throw a light weight around a few extra times.. lol not very proud of it.
Personally I feel doing pure strength work and then killing the muscles after with light weights for 20-25 reps would be more beneficial getting the strength gains and then doing some pump work and less boring then with the strength gains the pump work will also be able to get heavier but I'll take your advice and stick it out for a bit.
I think it's 40 drops contains 260mg magnesium so probably had about 130mg total.

if 40 drop sis 260magnesium how about sodium and potassium? you need all 3 during fasting
Yeah that's probably why I just grabbed it a while back it was cheap or discounted like check out add this to your cart kinda deal. It says "Natural electrolytes - Complete Ionic Mineral and Trace Element Supplement" I just assumed it had it all never really used it but I peeled the stickers off this morning that's all it says for medicinal ingredients and no other ingredients listed or I looked it up at the time when I bought it. It's been over a year since I bought it. lol
Not sure why they don't have it on the bottle but this is from the website.
Drop sets like that sounds like it would work, I've been doing reverse drop sets recently and I've found it surprisingly enjoyable and effective

This has no potassium or sodium, add 1/2 tsp pink salt and 1000mgs potassium when you fast towards 36 hours, you will be dizzy and sick if you dont @SemiFunctionalHuman
I've always wondered about that when it comes to different skill sets.
Yeah I just like strength training cause you actually FEEL strong. My theory is focus strength cause you're gonna get strong and build muscle anyways then add the pump work to enhance the muscle growth a bit and elevate heart rate more? Iunno just sounds good in my head. lol
Okay yeah I find it's hard to get a good supplement that covers everything. I'll pick some up and how often would you say is safe to do a 36 hour fast? Once a week? Twice a month? etc.
Also if genetically I have more high twitch muscle fiber so I'm better at short explosive bursts of power I guess that could be why this type of training feels a bit harder for me then the typical 3-12 rep range where I can use my short explosive power better and not feel so fatigued?
Also more of a reason to train it then if it's the weak spot in my muscle type. I guess.. fuck it sucks. lol
Sorry, wondered about what? I got lost there.

you can do fasting weekly but you need to do full on minerals

Okay yeah I'll pick some up and try it see how it goes doing it once a week.
Oh okay, my bad I get it.
Beast workout!!!
Thanks man! Felt wicked enjoyed it more than 4 sets of 25 reps alone. I'm going to mess around maybe do something like this if I can continue and it doesn't catch up too quick or maybe do like 1 week low rep heavy weight 1 week high rep light weight and just rotate every week long goal would be something like 6 days a week each muscle group twice a week.
The same weight and same reps everyday almost is just boring for my brain. This way it's changing things up, I see more progress with the strength but also get the high rep pump work in. The progress is what keeps me interested, seeing the numbers change etc.
@LevButlerov Opinions?
Im the same way regarding it being boring for the brain, it probably works, but if you cant stick to it then its no good
Yeah exactly I mean I could stick with it I'm just not having fun or enjoying it as where today I actually enjoyed it more. It didn't feel like a task I HAD to do it felt like something I WANTED to do and I think that makes a big difference.

Training is on beast mode
how much creatine you taking now?and on the fats still too low we need to be in 70s range @SemiFunctionalHuman
Yeah this feels good best of both worlds and 5g everyday usually pre workout but the last few days I’ve been adding 5g post workout cause have some old stuff I’m trying to get rid of.Training is on beast mode
and on the fats still too low we need to be in 70s range @SemiFunctionalHuman
Yeah once I start prepping these breakfast bars the macros will be back up. Didn’t end up getting them done tonight so will work that into the plan tomorrow.

sure 5 pre post is a good way
and lets get the bars going
Cool and yeah gonna take a rest day do some house shit and get a batch made up.sure 5 pre post is a good way
Honestly when I was a cook I didn’t have tats or a beard, and I kept the kitchen cleaner than my own. One place did use really high quality ingredients, but they went out of business for many reasons. The others were questionable. Still don’t know what was in those big jugs of oil we put in everything
Oil to satiate the customer and something refined like hell to cook at high heatHonestly when I was a cook I didn’t have tats or a beard, and I kept the kitchen cleaner than my own.

Still don’t know what was in those big jugs of oil we put in everything
I’ve got friends and family who run restaurants and they won’t even eat it lol

you had a good training day a lot of volume
@SemiFunctionalHuman and the waves we have pics?
It was good, productive and active.Sounds like a great day
Yeah felt good, feeling super tired now did it all fasted and the ride, eating up now getting some energy back.
I just picked up an action camera so I can get some cool clips. Wasn't the best for jumping really choppy it's nice when you get waves 5-6 seconds apart and there isn't a bunch going in all directions in between them so you can pick up some speed and hit the wave nice. When it's choppy it's like speed bumps slowing you down when you're tryna get going. lol
Took a tour out too check out this boat, He comes by often on flat days it's nice to see this guy he always makes a nice wake to play in. lol
I had a couple nice 180s and hit a few good waves decent hang time but every time I landed a decent one the camera kept getting pushed down. Only second time out with it, gonna have to figure a way to hold it better cause I tighten that fucker down good and it was still moving. lol
Really cool

Really cool! Thanks for sharing
I can't tell what it is but it looks fun.
Wow what a reply, I'll be honest that's waaaay above my head mate haha, really interesting read though. My 2 cents would be, if you find a system that works - keep it quite.Thanks man, it's my first so it's a work in progress.
I don't mind it's just conversation as long as it's not against the rules a mod can remove it if so. It's pretty complex I've been working on it for 8 months roughly now. It's my current passion project, I don't have a financial background and only a grade 8 education.. but I have ideas and a tiny bit of common sense and nothing to lose.
My big thing right now that holds me back is equity and you really need equity for the system to really shine and see nice compounded growth. I have a plan over the next 5 years and hopefully it works out and changes my life. If not at least I tired.
It started out as a basic terminal DCA bot then and I'm just developing it more and more everyday.

I had about $2000 CAD in there for the last 30 days so the results are based on that not the $680 in there now, I had to take out some cash for something and put it back in next month but this screen below is from the exchange itself for the last 30 days.

1. Strategy approach. Pure volatility-harvesting on spot crypto. Not trend-following, not indicator-driven (no MA/RSI/MACD), not arbitrage. The hypothesis is that liquid pairs oscillate around a slowly-moving reference price, and small dips can be bought and sold a few percent higher within hours. The base entry fires when the last price dips below the reference by a small threshold, and the reference ratchets upward as price climbs. Exit is a limit sell at a modest percentage above average cost, repriced on a regular cadence. There is a "momentum detector" that boosts the take-profit if a pair pumps significantly in the recent window, but it does not chase momentum to enter — it just lets winners run a bit further.
2. Pair selection. Auto-selected and re-scored at a regular interval. A multi-dimension scorer ranks all pairs across several weighted factors: liquidity (spread + volume, heaviest weight), volatility positioning (looking for a "sweet-spot" band in the upper-middle percentiles), realized PnL/efficiency, price location relative to reference, data quality, risk-adjusted returns, and pair age. Filters knock out anything with insufficient history, low average daily volume, or abnormal volume spikes. Pairs stuck at high DCA levels get a progressive penalty so the rotation drains them.
3. Sizing & slots. Each pair has a fixed budget envelope. A small base buy is used for initial entries, then DCA tranches scale up geometrically across several tiers. A "slot" = one pair holding an active position + working sell order; total slots are derived from equity / per-pair budget. A minimum free-cash floor must remain before a DCA can fire. DCA buys per pair are capped both in total depth and within a rolling time window.
4. DCA logic. Anchored on average cost. Levels fire at progressively wider intervals below the average — geometric spacing that gets increasingly aggressive deeper into a drawdown. After a configurable holding period a position enters "reduced mode" (take-profit is scaled down and DCA drops are widened); after a further period, "super-reduced" mode disables further DCA and tightens the fee buffer. This is the bag-management path for stuck pairs.
5. Risk management. Trading pauses fail-closed on accounting invariant failures, exchange desync, ledger-hash mismatch, equity drift outside tolerance, or stale snapshot. A circuit breaker opens after repeated consecutive exchange API failures with exponential backoff. Watchdogs cover order state, fills, fees, ledger integrity, and runtime desync. Bag-pressure and stuck-position penalties throttle re-entry into pairs that haven't recovered.
6. Execution. Limit orders only — both entries and exits. Sells reprice on a regular cadence rather than chasing the book. The engine ticks on a short polling interval. The exchange is treated as the source of truth; Postgres is the audit/reconciliation store.
Core edge. The bot bets that liquid, reasonably-volatile pairs revert: small dips below a slowly-rising reference get bought, then sold at a target markup when normal oscillation eventually carries them there. It is not predicting direction — it is harvesting the noise around a drifting mean, with deep DCA tranches as insurance against drawdowns and a multi-day "give up gracefully" mode for pairs that don't bounce back.
And the lack of equity I wouldn't worry about so much, focus on really nailing it down, if you find something that works consistently you just need time and patience.
If you can cut back in spending in other areas of life or pickup extra work to add money to it that will benefit you greatly too... Drawdowns are what really hurts compounding long term, every dollar you take out is a dollar not being given the chance to work for you.
Best of luck !
Thanks for sharing! 
Shouldn’t have watched that, I miss my Seadoo!!
Shouldn’t have watched that, I miss my Seadoo!!
Thanks yeah, it's fun. I enjoy anything with a motor had all kinds of toys. I always sell everything tho and kick myself in the ass for it down the road.. time to start collecting toys and not getting rid of them. I used to gamble.. A lot... lol
Hell yeah! No problem and I mean water can be dangerous when you go out on a stormy windy day but so far I've gotten more hurt running into trees on ATVs and getting stick through the lips and stuff than on the jetski. Haven't hit the water hard enough yet on this thing it's plastic so scared to break it at the same time wanna see what it can handle. lolThat is the coolest set of videos on EVO
too dangerous for me though lol
@HarleyGuy @Allupfromhere @Pigsy @waggat @Trenhead3cc @Kopite67
@Grumpy @LH5515 @Yuri @Doctakay @catdadironman @bss @Shakey
Hey no problem!Really cool! Thanks for sharing
It's a blast even just going for a relaxing tour along the coast line checking out the woods, fancy houses on the water. It doesn't matter what I ride it's the only time my brain turns off from real life I don't think or worry about anything and it's just freedom you and what's in front of you. No stress, no worries just ride.
I think everyone should get into riding doesn't matter what it is dirt, snow, water, go karts etc buy a beater for $1000 and just go rip and it's the best time of your life. In my opinion.
Yeah I'm messing around with angles just got the camera it's a sit down jetski, Seadoo Spark Trixx.
Yeah it's kinda basic but complex at the same time. lol
Personally I've thought about all that but I'm not worried like anybody could do what I did, I'm not in competition with anyone, just myself from yesterday. I wanna see everyone win and be happy and have money to be able to afford the lifestyle they want. I didn't share any important values, config settings or anything that would make a huge difference. Someone could take the idea and build something but it won't be 100% the same either way.
Yeah exactly I'm not worried about now is the boring part where I've built a system, I know it works now I just need the patience for it to play out. I will be investing more very month so it grows quicker and I can get to that juicy compounded growth. I had about $2100 CAD in there and will be back in there soon but I can visualize the days where it's printing $2000 a day and that's instantly reinvested and it starts earning on it also and it just snowballs.
This month was a set back but I took money out for something where I'll be getting interest back on it so a short term set back for a longer term gain.
Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome man and yeah if you're like me watching any videos will make you want get out ripping. haha it's never too late to get another! You can get some cheap fun on Kijiji. I've rode old stuff my whole life this is my first brand new machine.

Notes:
- Wasn't feeling the pump work on lunges today and will slowly add more leg work, need to strengthen my core/lower back up.
- Could go heavier on squats probably could have done 225 lbs for 4-6 but haven't been doing much leg work so didn't want to kill them to bad also I'm alone with free weights and nothing for saftey so I rather leave a few in the tank.
- Same for the calf raises could have went heavier but was more feeling it in the core/lower back feeling week leaning forward, not as tight and straight as I'd like going heavy.

Nutrition Notes: Macros will be around here as long as I keep the meal prep up. They will be slightly higher cause the sauce I use on my chicken and rice I haven't had the chance too dial it in yet and figure out rough macros per meal etc. Ignore the date just didn't want to refill it out today haven't tracked because it's all pre-made really at this point doesn't change. Will be slight variations because each bar isn't going to be exactly the same and rice portions might differ slightly but the weekly intake should be around the same.
I ate one box of granola bars yesterday probably why the scale jumped. These things man I can eat 10 of them in a row. Inhale 2 boxes easy.

some strong volume
@SemiFunctionalHuman you're going hardcore, and arms looking big and pumped with shoulders!macros stable too
@SemiFunctionalHuman keep it up man. It's all about consistency from here. Make sure you keep up with the food prep.
Bros, you are the man for sure. Granola, though, makes me sick. I'm not sure why. Hard to digest. I think it's too much fiber at once. @SemiFunctionalHuman
Great job man. @SemiFunctionalHuman with each update I feel like you continue to improve, which is a good thing.
Active rest day gonna finish up some of this room and get ti back to normal.
I've hit my head lots from a young age, like cracked it open had staples at like 8 then growing up riding bikes and jumping them, crashing dirt bikes and atvs etc I feel like maybe somethings wired a little different now. On paper I have severe anxiety and panic disorder and depression that kinda shit so I mean somethings up, I get disability for mental stuff. I get angry easily, low impulse control. I'd give the shirt off my back to someone in need or hurt myself to save someone without even thinking of the consequences for myself but if someone pisses me off I'm a loose cannon.
I've probably averaged like 1000 steps a day over the last 5 years gave up on everything, quit going out, quit brushing my teeth just let life pile up on top of me then eventually you're in so deep you get self hatred for letting it go so far and you're set back further in life than you planned to be and all this bullshit adds up mentally and my brain never turns off so I'm just beating myself up over and over everyday for years over it plus shit in the past that doesn't even matter anymore. If you seen how I was living and the amount of stuff I was putting off in real life you'd be surprised I even put in this many days consitently and it's only been a month. lol
I'm 32 living at home, no real job, though I spend 10-14 hours a day "working" on a project to hopefully change all this soon, DUI, living on $16,000 a year, getting no pussy, well I mean a little bit but not everyday like I need it ahahah but I ain't actively trying either cause I got some busted front teeth from fighting and haven't got it fixed yet so it brings the confidence down and I got out of a 10 year relationship 4 years ago so like I don't even have energy to deal with all the dumb bullshit again. Like in my situation you gotta have a little bit of game and I don't have energy to play the game right now.
I didn't want to lift at all yesterday was going to bail but held myself accountable and just did it. My bad for the story but people will maybe understand me more I guess. So yeah honestly I think it's life and a whole bunch of stuff built up, I think I just woke up in a fuck the world kinda mood. I'm generous on the mood/feelings in the log also because everyday is a 3-4 for mood it's only ever the energy that changes. lol
Iunno hoping getting back in the gym and slowly getting life back together will boost confidence and change the mood/mindset more so I stop beating myself up.
Yeah had to switch it up a little probably gonna try 3 days strength training 3 days pump work, definitely wouldn't wanna do two days back to back like this at least not without some ephedrine or something else I don't know about yet.some strong volume
macros stable too
Thanks, yeah that's a big one I can do the two meals easily breakfast has been slacking so hopefully this works or I might switch it up to some kinda dairy free greek yogurt and something in the future.
Thanks man and yeah now that I'm thinking about it I had 1 slab last night around 7pm for night time snack instead of eating two for breakfast and I'm feeling kinda heavy in the stomach area this morning.
Thank you bro and yeah it will get better each time until it slows down but probably not for a while. Honestly lifting is easy for me it's hard to eat the solid food cause I'm so used to junk food. I could eat like 6000 calories in those premade granola bars in 30 minutes and be hungry but eating 2700-3000 calories of real food feels like a job 8 days outta 10.
Honestly some days my brain is just is in a mood. I picked this name cause thought it was funny but also accurate. LOL

I'm 32 living at home, no real job, though I spend 10-14 hours a day "working" on a project to hopefully change all this soon, DUI, living on $16,000 a year, getting no pussy, well I mean a little bit but not everyday like I need it ahahah but I ain't actively trying either cause I got some busted front teeth from fighting and haven't got it fixed yet so it brings the confidence down and I got out of a 10 year relationship 4 years ago so like I don't even have energy to deal with all the dumb bullshit again. Like in my situation you gotta have a little bit of game and I don't have energy to play the game right now.
I didn't want to lift at all yesterday was going to bail but held myself accountable and just did it. My bad for the story but people will maybe understand me more I guess. So yeah honestly I think it's life and a whole bunch of stuff built up, I think I just woke up in a fuck the world kinda mood. I'm generous on the mood/feelings in the log also because everyday is a 3-4 for mood it's only ever the energy that changes. lol
Iunno hoping getting back in the gym and slowly getting life back together will boost confidence and change the mood/mindset more so I stop beating myself up.
Thanks bro! Yeah I got a better head on my shoulders now. Don't drink booze anymore not going out looking for fights and not just partying all the time. Now it's just playing catch up.
I think we've all been there to varying degrees...what matters is picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and going again...with the added wisdom
@SemiFunctionalHuman You have a very interesting story, man, but it could be worse. There are a lot of people in worse situations than you are. You should go on the podcast and talk about it.Active rest day gonna finish up some of this room and get ti back to normal.
Yeah had to switch it up a little probably gonna try 3 days strength training 3 days pump work, definitely wouldn't wanna do two days back to back like this at least not without some ephedrine or something else I don't know about yet.
Thanks, yeah that's a big one I can do the two meals easily breakfast has been slacking so hopefully this works or I might switch it up to some kinda dairy free greek yogurt and something in the future.
Thanks man and yeah now that I'm thinking about it I had 1 slab last night around 7pm for night time snack instead of eating two for breakfast and I'm feeling kinda heavy in the stomach area this morning.
Thank you bro and yeah it will get better each time until it slows down but probably not for a while. Honestly lifting is easy for me it's hard to eat the solid food cause I'm so used to junk food. I could eat like 6000 calories in those premade granola bars in 30 minutes and be hungry but eating 2700-3000 calories of real food feels like a job 8 days outta 10.
Honestly some days my brain is just is in a mood. I picked this name cause thought it was funny but also accurate. LOL
I've hit my head lots from a young age, like cracked it open had staples at like 8 then growing up riding bikes and jumping them, crashing dirt bikes and atvs etc I feel like maybe somethings wired a little different now. On paper I have severe anxiety and panic disorder and depression that kinda shit so I mean somethings up, I get disability for mental stuff. I get angry easily, low impulse control. I'd give the shirt off my back to someone in need or hurt myself to save someone without even thinking of the consequences for myself but if someone pisses me off I'm a loose cannon.

Yeah for sure I believe it. Yeah exactly live and learn and keep on keeping on. haha
Yeah I mean nothing special really you could probably talk to hundreds of thousands of people and get a similar story. I've just dealt with a lot of bullshit from a young age and self medicated with booze and drugs and didn't care much for life. Typical raised by moms, dad was in and out of jail, older sister did what she could but she was a hustler then started using more than selling, two older brothers one died when he was 27 one died at 37, they all lived fast lifestyles. Like I was in my first hit and run with my dad when I was like 7 drinking a driving a field truck to the lake to go ice fishing, had someones stomach cut open in my kitchen over dope when I was like 10. The day of my 13th Birthday my oldest brother and like 4 other people tried to do my dad in, I wasn't there but like it definitely effected me. Don't get me wrong I have good family but all my immediate family where rough around the edges and bad mother fuckers who also brought around the same type of people. So like you tend to lean towards what you grew up around or what you know so went down a shitty path for most of my teens and early twenties but like I wouldn't say my life is hard at all just mentally draining is how I look at it and wouldn't want sympathy or anyone to look at it that way and I don't want anyone to think like "oh poor this guy suck it up" like I tell myself that, I'm good. lol I ain't complaining I'm just sharing.
i'm a breakfast skipperActive rest day gonna finish up some of this room and get ti back to normal.
Yeah had to switch it up a little probably gonna try 3 days strength training 3 days pump work, definitely wouldn't wanna do two days back to back like this at least not without some ephedrine or something else I don't know about yet.

I prefer skipping also, but try new things once in a while. I feel lighter and stronger when I skip, Not sure if it's mental like you gotta work hard before you can earn that first meal or something so you push more.
i do time restricted eating. so usually i will eat in a 2-4 hour window daily. sometimes 6 hours at worse

sure switch up a bitYeah had to switch it up a little probably gonna try 3 days strength training 3 days pump work, definitely wouldn't wanna do two days back to back like this at least not without some ephedrine or something else I don't know about yet.
Yeah the junk food is a real killer. Just start shopping smarter and don't keep junk in your house.
Never tried that just intermittent fasting, what are the benefits or just personal preference?
Yeah I love the pumps from the high rep work but I think with my muscle type I get fatigue quick from it. When I do the heavy work first the light pump work almost feels like body weight but also not as big of a pump with the high volume low rest sets so far apart I think.sure switch up a bit
Yeah I tried to keep a couple boxes of bars around for when I get the munchies bad and was lazy it's a decent option if you have 1 bar with a shake but easy to break your own rules sometimes. Probably need to cut back on the bud a little bit or stick to strains that don't make me super super hungry.
You don't want to continue the cycle of going through what your father went through. Hopefully you can use this log to keep yourself going in the right direction and good things will come your way man.
Bro, yeah, that's pretty common. Too much fiber at once is no good for the stomach.
@SemiFunctionalHuman arms are looking massive man. Keep it up
lots of benefits, my log is full of the research

Yeah exactly I kinda out grew it now it's just getting back on track and what not. Thanks man I appreciate it.
Yeah bro I'm going to probably break them up into smaller portions and maybe have like a snack every 2 hours and try like the 6 meals a day kinda thing 2 hours apart so still get all the macros but easier on the stomach maybe.
Thanks man! I got a nice bicep pump today! Starting to get some muscle back slowly, the fats helping them look thick though. Haha
Okay I'll take a deeper look today, I skimmed it a bit before but always get distracted coding or something and end up stopping half way through a log and never getting back to it at that time.

the big benefit for you would be an increase in hgh and autophagy. i would also argue fasting is needed to re-cycle cells in the muscles so they can grow bigger and stronger
Bros, you can always switch over to some fruit instead for a snack or some almonds.
EVO family love. Keep it up.
We're seeing a lot of things being found in these protein bars that are really bad for you. Why don't you make your own? This way you know what's in it.

Nutrition:
- Calories: 2325.5 kcal
- Protein: 233.9 g
- Carbs: 208.2 g
- Fats: 66.2 g
Nutrition Notes:
- Been eating fairly clean but had beef stew someone else made that thought by reading all the ingredients was gluten and dairy free but maybe something had something, iunno. Only think I can think of but my gut and skin are feeling it. lol
- Not prepping the bars keeping it simple for now going to try fasting after I grab some pink Himalayan salt and cream of tartar tonight or tomorrow. Besides that just going to restrict calories and carbs a bit due to lack of motivation/drive to really prep big stuff continuously right now.
- After the fast it's just going to be coffee for breakfast like 350ml with 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, a scoop of protein and 5g creatine. Lunch will be 120g white rice with 200g chicken, dinner is 80g white rice with 200g chicken, for a snack 4 regular rice cakes with 50g peanut butter not each but to use for them all, I'll eat if I get a craving during the day or 7pm for a night time snack and finally 2 protein shakes a small one post workout with my rice and chicken with 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, a scoop of protein and 5g creatine and another one whenever I'm feeling hungry or need something to satisfy me or with the rice cakes at 7pm it will be 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, 250ml water and 2 scoops of protein.
Macros will be slightly higher but shouldn't be much I still haven't track how long a bottle last me of the sauce. I do 2 bulls eye bold bqq original in a FIFO squeeze bottle then add like 5 spoonfuls of mayo and it last like 2 weeks at least if I'm just guessing. I use just enough to color the rice and have some flavour. I will track the next bottle after this one is finished

Nutrition Notes:
- Been eating fairly clean but had beef stew someone else made that thought by reading all the ingredients was gluten and dairy free but maybe something had something, iunno. Only think I can think of but my gut and skin are feeling it. lol
- Not prepping the bars keeping it simple for now going to try fasting after I grab some pink Himalayan salt and cream of tartar tonight or tomorrow. Besides that just going to restrict calories and carbs a bit due to lack of motivation/drive to really prep big stuff continuously right now.
- After the fast it's just going to be coffee for breakfast like 350ml with 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, a scoop of protein and 5g creatine. Lunch will be 120g white rice with 200g chicken, dinner is 80g white rice with 200g chicken, for a snack 4 regular rice cakes with 50g peanut butter not each but to use for them all, I'll eat if I get a craving during the day or 7pm for a night time snack and finally 2 protein shakes a small one post workout with my rice and chicken with 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, a scoop of protein and 5g creatine and another one whenever I'm feeling hungry or need something to satisfy me or with the rice cakes at 7pm it will be 250ml almond and cashew protein milk, 250ml water and 2 scoops of protein.
Macros will be slightly higher but shouldn't be much I still haven't track how long a bottle last me of the sauce. I do 2 bulls eye bold bqq original in a FIFO squeeze bottle then add like 5 spoonfuls of mayo and it last like 2 weeks at least if I'm just guessing. I use just enough to color the rice and have some flavour. I will track the next bottle after this one is finished
Thanks man! Been trying but slipping up this weekend and beating myself up for it. lol
Yeah for sure always fun look at the pump and chasing it. Chasing to look like that without the pump. lolthe pumps are the win get more pumps and train hard
Yeah I'm going to try a longer one for the autophagy stuff this week after I grab the right stuff to maybe help.
Yeah true I got a tight budget so it's easy for me to plan out a month worth of meals a head of time and just make sure I have that stuff. I was doing smoothies before with Greek yogurt and all the berries. Once summer comes will be eating lots of watermelon.
Love man I appreciate it.
Honestly yeah I can imagine I have thoughts all the time like this one snack it's gluten and dairy free like good for school it's probably a kids cookie but when I wasn't worried about what I was eating them I'd eat like 2 boxes a day or every other day but I'd always think I wonder what garbage is in these they're feed to kids these days, conspiracies going off in my head that are probably not actually even conspiracies.
to get the benefits of autophagy, you really need to hit it at least 20 hours optimally a good overnight fast will work beautifully. Where are you eat dinner and then you don’t eat again till two days later
Okay yeah I was going to try to aim for having my last meal say 7pm tonight then try to go until Thursday night and break it with just a light bed time snack some rice cakes and peanut butter then back to normal eating Friday, I'm not worried about feeling hungry but just making sure I drink enough water and manage it so I don't feel dizzy more so. So that would be the goal as long as I feel alright.

but i would drop the mayo for sure. I feel you can really drop carbs to around 150 @SemiFunctionalHuman
Yeah I can drop the mayo it just brings the bold bbq flavour down a bit not super necessary just tried it and liked the flavour and honestly I had patch testing or whatever they said I "might" be allergic to eggs but if so it's a small reaction, whatever that means. lol so probably better for me anyways to be real.You're eating clean for sure
I could cut down to 2107.7 kcal, 228.5g protein, 160g carbs and 65g fat pretty easily just reduce both meals to 80g rice and remove 2 rice cakes.
unless you are super addicted to food or you are on some type of meds to drop your blood sugar you won't get dizzy fasting.
the liver spits out glycogen into the blood stream during a fast to level out things, it isn't like what most guys think where your blood sugar just drops to 0. ironically while fasting for many days my blood sugar actually rose because of this. which means the liver is emptying out and a very good and healthy thing to experience. gives the organs a nice break
Bro's watermelon is a good one. We used to eat it all the time in Alabama. I actually worked on my granny CEO farm. She used to grow them.

Keep pumping that iron.
Food companies have targeted kids since they started making processed foods. You pretty much can go on every cereal box and see all the junk that's in it.Honestly yeah I can imagine I have thoughts all the time like this one snack it's gluten and dairy free like good for school it's probably a kids cookie but when I wasn't worried about what I was eating them I'd eat like 2 boxes a day or every other day but I'd always think I wonder what garbage is in these they're feed to kids these days, conspiracies going off in my head that are probably not actually even conspiracies.

I guess yes and no.. lol if its not there I don't crave it or need it but if it's there I won't eat one I'm eating a whole box. Less addicted to food mor so no self control sometimes or something. Yeah I figured like the body has stuff left over in it that it will use up until it can't or something similar. Yeah I've been hard on my body over the years the substances I've put it in it, drinking and lack of nutrition so I feel like it's would probably be pretty beneficial.
It's the only melon I like. Used to pick berries as a kid and eat them but usually only use them in smoothies. Strawberry, banana and watermelon are my main pick up and eat fruits. Sweet that would be awesome, unlimited. haha
Yeah I can just use the bbq sauce alone, it was just a unique flavor I liked. Normally I'm not big on sauces at all been a ketchup guy my whole life.you can get no mayo bbq sauce
Hell yeah brother man!
Yeah exactly that's what I mean and you never really know with these big companies either. I don't trust any of them. lol
when we were kids and crying at disney our parents would shut us up by shoving one of those ice cream bars shaped like mickey mouse into our mouth. we learned to view food a certain way from those experiences as kids into adulthood
Yeah true that makes sense that goes for a lot of stuff I guess. The older you get the more you realize all those connections.

You did that workout fasted?
Yup I didn't really plan it out was thinking it would be maybe half the volume of a regular day and just kinda went with the flow but wasn't really too far off. Definitely feeling hungry now though that might make it harder to hold fast. I read a lot they say just do like 30 minutes light cardio when fasting but I hate cardio rather just lift. Figured if I feel like shit I just stop and re try again next week worst case.You did that workout fasted?
