Approved Log Road to my first cycle LOG

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

Thanks bro, what number should I be aiming for?
 
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

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@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

Yeah I was thinking the same, I’ll see how I am next just to give the new approach a chance.

fasted training is more ideal in every situation UNLESS you are training for strength

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
