All I did today: run intervals 3 miles/30 mins. Felt a little twinge in anterior left ankle again, worse if I run slower. I am really glad that I'm doing less cardio; being the knucklehead I tend to be, I'd hurt myself!

A week from Sunday. Not a refeed, per se... just a carb load, which will help get me through the rest of the week. After this first twelve days, it's gravy--I get a weekly carb up and expect to be cutting my calories a bit from this really tough to hit 2100 plus.
I feel good, I'm sleeping fine... just not so strong in the gym today. I also waited until AFTER work to lift today, which I never never never do--I overslept though, so it was later or not at all.
AD is sort of sucking the life out of my lifts today.
Are they high rep sets?

Sigh.
But do you carb up, then have a depletion workout on Monday? You might time your highest rep workout to come during or just after the carb up to take advantage of the carbs.
Assuming your workouts are low rep, you might be just fine and strong on your workouts in a day or two. After about a week, I could do 4x6 and 5x5 with just as much strength as before. But, I totally tanked on the 3x12 stuff.
My workout plans are unknown to me. I get a new set in my inbox every Sunday and put my thinking hat on "off". Working so far for me--I have managed to add about 10% to my deadlifts and even more on my squats. With that, of course, comes a little extra muscle I think... once I'm fully leaned out from the AD it will be very nice to see my new lines.
Gah! I'm debating treadmill/gym vs run outside right now. I am afraid the tmill is winning.
2.5 miles of running, some of 'em intervals. Amazingly, I didn't bonk like I expected.
Also some shoulder stuff--band pull aparts, cable PNF flexion, and reverse shrugs. Today I'm going to Sonoma to check out a photog's gallery; she takes these incredible pix of indigenous peeps all over the world. They're stunning. Also going to catch a movie and then sit on my ass the rest of the day--my TiVo needs to be purged.
