My chest is fried, literally tender to the touch. I think it was the incline flies, oh well. Does anyone have any opinions on CBL on a bulk? I really like it on a recomp and I think I will use it then but I’m not sure now. I like my pre workout carbs lol[/quote]
That’s what I’ve had the most success with in the past, making the most lean gains + strength gains, when I was CBL’ing. Started doing it again this week.[/quote]
Other am reading 2 articles I’m completely new to it but I’m starting to figure out I’m pretty carb intolerant. I look like a bloated tick after my 55 grams of carbs pre, 70 intr and 60 post. How did it affect your workouts on low to no carbs? Do you think it would be okay to still keep intra carbs?[/quote]
Ok so this is just me, so if it sounds like bro-science, it is, because this is purely anecdotal, n=1. lol
I’m pretty carb intolerant, a large percent of my family has diabetes. But CBL allows me to eat a TON more carbs and stay lean. You followed my prep log. Look at my pictures from when I started (when I was CBL’ing) vs later (I stopped midway through). I couldn’t tolerate carbs as well. I tried other methods, and CBL works, at least for me. I get sleepy after any carb meal, UNLESS it’s PWO. On CBL Iwas regularly eating 450-500g carbs daily, with ~100g of fat and staying ‘veins on my lower abs’ lean. I feel dumb for stopping.
Pre-WO carbs are crucial for me IF I’m doing high volume, BB’ing style workouts. Otherwise I die midway through. So if you’re doing mostly pump work, all reps 8+. yeah pre-WO carbs are need probably. Now though, where the first 30-40 minutes of my workouts are all about increasing performance, and using weights in the 3-6 rep range, I do MUCH better sans carbs pre-WO. I actually feel better, more focused. And usually, the last 20-30 minutes of my workouts, when I do ‘pump’ work, higher reps, I’ll start sipping on some carbs then. Best of both worlds IMO.
I would say give it an honest shot, and if ya want I an lay-out what I do, help you set it up, whatever. I just seriously think CBL is great. lol
