She's starting to gear up to get lean as of this week. Which means the next twelve weeks are gonna be full of "I can't eat that" and "do you think I'm lean enough" pre-contest fun. Ah well, goes with the show.
I didn't do much last week, as I still felt wonky from that two-week loading block I did. Kinda expected, so I just took it easy.
Figured I might as well start down some more serious dieting myself; it makes it easier if we're both kinda synced up.
I'm gonna toy with a recomp idea I've had, with bits pulled from carb cycling and UD2.
Today I kicked off with a depletion workout, combined with a very low-carb and low-calorie diet. In other words, today sucks.
Not a full depletion, nor was it intended to be, but it still sucked anyway! Now I get to enjoy a day full of meat and protein shakes, combined with the shakes from all the cool stimulants I've taken.

It does suck in all ways. However, today's the first time I've weighed <91 kg while in my workout clothes, so evidently it does something. That or the clen I took, it's really a toss up.
Did my heavy workout today in conjunction w/ high-carb day. High will end up ~300g for the day, probably around 2600 cals in total. Which is substantially more than the last two days.
Wednedsay workout:
Thoracic mobility crap
YTWLs, 1x8 no weight, 10lbs x8
Front squat w/ chains, bar x3, 50kg x3, 70x3, 90x3
DB rowing, 100 lbs x6, 120 lbs/2x6
Bench, bar x15, 60kg x6, 2-board, 90x5, 100/2x5
Gunz: DB curlz, 50 lbs/2x6, pushdowns, 3x8
Carbs are good for liftings. The front squat I may be able to brute-force back up to my January max of 315 for a clean single, so the next couple weeks will probably be pure linear loading.
Dumbbell rows were a joke at 100 lbs. Apparently all the C of C work I'm doing at home is helping the grip. Three-point stance is a lot better than that twisting-ass shit that goes on with the normal style. 120 lbs was still more of a challenge on the grip than the back muscles, though -- but that's why I'm doing them, so meh.
The shoulder seemed to do well with a week or so off, although it felt a little stiff. I broke it in before benching and stretched the hell out of it afterwards though, which seems to help.
clen scares me more then just about any drug. be careful, especially if its liquid.. one company around here (PM me for the name if you want it) once mis-labled their clen and alot of people where in a pretty shitty situation.
This is home-brew that I've had for like 2 years, mang. I've got it pretty well ironed out to what doses will do what. All it takes is a few drops and it's buzz-city, hahahaha
I just wish I still had my DNP. THAT's the scary one. But it melts the fat off oh-so-good.
That picture was taken after I was told I couldn't have a candy bar. The Popeye theme music kicked in about that time.
Howdy!
Was supposed to do a depletion workout today, but hell with that. It's over 90 degrees (F) here today (33C in local-speak, and this is mid-winter), and I'm hot for other reasons. Chemical reasons. So none of that. Still gotta make the hike to the gym around 6 for the woman's workout, but it's usually a bit cooler by then.
We got in three more flavors of Muscle Milk from 'merka today. Even with the ~$60 shipping we got three tubs for the price of two shipped from inside Ozzie.
Otherwise, low-carb/low-calorie day. Good thing I only have two of these a week. Cause they suck.
Yeah, but that's a pretty narrow window for an Ooopsie moment.
Yeah, but where's the fun if there's not a little risk?

Second heavy session today.
Saturday:
DL, warmups then 180 (396)x3, 185 (407)x2
Chinups, +10kg/3 series x1/2/3
GHRs, +2.5kg/2x10
unilateral DB incline, 30kg x8, 32.5x8
inverted rows, 4x8
box pistols, 4x3
Weight's down a bit more, so at least the diet approach is working. Going to end up with over 400g of carbs and over 3000 cals today, at the minimum.
Starting a new build-up cycle on the DLs, gonna see how long that lasts.
Pistols felt surprisingly good. Did them off the same low box setup that I box squat from, so it puts me a inch or two below parallel. Dunno if it's the ankle mobility stuff or the hip strengthening, but they felt fine.
Mine's decent, but it doesn't even look like an arch compared to alot of chicks!
