9 weeks out August 19th.
Body Composition:
Weight: 235 pounds
Body Fat: 6.1%
Diet: I am going to introduce another
refeed on Thursday to replenish the glycogen and leptin. It is
supposed to help me to keep the cravings at bay and perform better
during the workouts on the second half of the week. The refeed will
only consist of increasing the amount of carbs in each meal and
adding 2 extra meals with carbs (so instead of 3 carb meals I will
have 5). I am not going to make it a cheat meal, where I eat junk,
but carb up only on clean carbohydrates (sweet potato, brown rice and
oatmeal).
Supplements: I am increasing the
Ephedrine-Caffeine dose gradually from 200mg of caffeine and 24mg
ephedrine twice a day, to three times a day. I am not as jittery
anymore compared to when I just started, which is a great news!
I am starting to feel depleted
by Thursday (4 days after the cheat day) up to the point where I
cannot even get a pump at the gym and have no desire to workout. As
well, I started to get mad cravings and feel light headed during
training. My Saturday Workout (hamstrings and calves) was not good at
all, as I had to take longer rests and felt like I could have pushed
myself more, but had no energy. This is why I am introducing an extra
refeed on Thursday. Nevertheless, I feel that my body continues to
change and I am getting a harder look compared to 5 weeks ago. I have
dropped a 0.7% body fat. I am holding a little bit of water still,
which affects my definition, but I find that it slowly starting to
flush away.
At this point I am very motivated
and can't wait until the day of the show. Too bad that it is 9 weeks
away. On the other side, it gives me a lot of time to get better
results.
Until next week!
