Though tbh I'm not even sure those are the same dude. The forum members seem to think so.
But yeah, so far I'm thinkin' if I decide to make the change (last one, until late August, for realzy this time :action
I'mma take a page outta Rapid Fat Loss and drop it down to just the three full body workouts a week (M, W, F) with a 5-hour (which I'll interpret as 3 meals) re-feed on I think Friday. Real clean, though. Bowl of oats and a few slices of bread with a serving or two of fruit and a few tbsp of almond butter in addition to regular intake. No free meal and no periworkout drinks at all throughout. I'm quite sure now that those things work way too well for me. It's a problem, haha. Also, hard (>75% mhr) bike/run on Sunday to help with getting glycogen back down for Monday.
Don't really care if I lose lean mass over the next few months, but it's doubtful I will with strength, endurance and EC all up in the mix. Very doubtful, given my history.
Might sound a little harsh (when do my plans not haha - rather than ask me why I'm making it so hard ask my over-clever body imo) but If I could manage weeks at ~800 calories and the kind (and quantity, oh the quantity) of training I was doing, this will be a vacation. Also, every 6'ish weeks, a two week maintenance re-feed for health and sanity.
The process should I think also be very useful in allowing me to figure out a proper basal metabolic rate, which I don't quite have as yet. I've found it surpassing difficult to do so with too much caloric "traffic" and so much of it new/different.
Gotta go party hard and sleep on it, and then we'll see, but I figure it's a much better plan than 'exercise like youre possessed by a demon and eat as little as you can with the 80 billion units of hunger this creates or waste weeks and months guessing at how many calories you're really expending as it constantly changes'.
