hey! i remember learning about that in biology. Thanks for the reminder!
Well like I said guys, I'm gonna start my cut early because school is starting and that is my perfect opportunity to eat less.
So why don't we recap my improvement here:
while I saw marked improveement in all exercises, I saw the most improvement in my pulls and my squats/deads
squats I began with 155 3x10
now its 185 4x10
deadlift 155 5x5
now 185 5x5
bentover rows... wow, started doing them i got 5x5 95, ended 5x5 125,
improvement, I can't remmeber all of it now but I'm definitely alot stronger.
I may have one last entry to put on here before the cut, I'm hoping to get 1000 hits before my next thread.
it's also only been a month, hmm cool.

How are you appraoching this cut? What type of plan do you have in place?
I found that the amount of calories I need to maintain my body weight (5'10" 180 lbs now 20% bf)(including my activity, not just BMR) is around 2800 or so. I'll check again. I was going to reduce that by 500, so i'd have 2300 a day.
i'll probably post what I have to eat each day in the new thread. I was wondering though, is there a different ratio of proteins carbs and fats needed for a cut? do I still need around 1g protein per lb body weight.
fbw 3x a week.
w/e cardio I have time with after I finish my school stuff.
Thats a very good base understanding Dave.
Yes, one can manipulate carbs (like a Kenogenic Diet or a like diet called the Anabolic diet) I have a link and the post in the Chill log about this diet. Also Tony has a link to the Anabolic diet in his Journal. Bare in mind though cutting carbs is HARD, and do have drawbacks. In other words yes, you can manipulate the nutrients for an added benefit, just be aware of the pros and cons, just as with a defict diet has pros and cons.
This is my opinion (though others may have a different opinion). I think your protein needs to be UP proportional to your body wgt due to the negatives of deficit dieting.

i love salmon!
And where might I find a recipe for this delicious sounding pie?
huh?
(world limit)
(world limit)
I was just messen.........around......LOL
No Fat Cream Cheese (removes the sats, but leaves comparable taste)
1/2 cup of Natural Peanut Butter ( I use the Smuckers Brand)
1/2 cup of Skim Milk
1/2 cup of Splenda
Sugar Free whipped topping
They now make a Spenda version of Graham Crackers--leaving just the grains and some minor bad ingredients in the crackers.
Take one package and crush with a rolling pin in between wax paper.
Use "smart balance" butter, and warm about two tablespoons in a small sauce pan.
Put the crushed splenda graham crackers in a pie pan, and add the "smart balance" butter. Mix good, and spread evenly in the pie pan.
Mix, the NPB, Skim Milk, and Splenda real good by hand. Put in pie pan.
Top with Sugar free Whipped Cream.
The NPB is the largest calorie producer in this NPB pie. Has good fats, no sugar, and can satisify a sweetness craving.

lol, Cream Chease can be some bad sh@t, one must be careful. Be sure its the no fat, it cuts calories down drastically--and one can enjoy two instead of one serving.......but.......LOL.......be mindful of the NPB.....its nearly evil good....but calorie dense........DAMN it.........Nature was stoned when she made peanuts..........
honestly, splenda kind of makes me sick. Can i use normal sugar? just less of it?
IM doing this to the PC right now.........
Refined sugar is CRAP.....NO!!!!!!!!! I better now. A small amount wont hurt of course, but I advocate staying away from it like it has a disease.
Try nutri-sweet or equal or something like this.
I look at the sweetness problem like this in brief: In this section we have really only a selection of bad choices (when comparing refined white sugar and artifical sweetners), and one has to try to make the best choice among already bad choices, as they both have pros and cons and are held in different opinions (not refined sugar, necessarily, but mainly artificial sweetners). I just chose Splenda in a bad choice set, and have read all about Splenda.
Try one of the other artifical sweetners. Or if you can find pure cane NATURAL SUGAR (which is brown by the way and grainy), this would be okay.
I dont know how natural sugar cooks though.
I sent you the A-Diet book, did you read it yet? You're at 20% bf so you have time before you need to seriously alter nutrients. Just lower calories and keep it balanced. Eat mostly complex/fibrous carbs and keep simples to around the workout time. Once you get down to around 12% or so, then it will be time to get serious.
Oo right, I read part of that, but I had to finish summer homework, thanks for reminding me! I'll go read it now.
i dunno if i'm actually 20% might be less, might be more, i have a scale thing that measures it along with my weight.
