Hoes these days I’ll tell ya…where are the girls who will make me food, critique my form and tell me to take muscle naps on rest days?

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

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.

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?

Also is it do able without the breakfast coffe? I’ve never been a coffe drinker. How many meals after breakfast and before your workout did you usually get in?

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

I’d love your lay out that you did. If I gave you a template of how I’d do it, care to critique?

No problem, I’ll critique a plan that you have in mind. I feel CBL is one of the few things I know a good deal about, regarding lifting/diet/whatever.

My set-up is usually:

8am-10am: Fast for 1 or 2 hours

10am-Noon: Ok, depending on goals, this meal varies. If calories are higher, trying to gain, etc, this is my first meal of the day. Just fat and protein. Whole eggs, cottage cheese, chicken wings, etc. Just no carbs. If I’m trying to lean out, have fat lower, usually just Keifer Coffee (Coffee+Whey+VCO).

Noon-3pm: Usually have some Keifer Coffee pre-WO, just because it’s light on my stomach, gives me some energy

3-5pm: Train at some point for about an hour, if calories/carbs are high, will sip on carbs midway through the workout (about 30 minutes in)

5-8pm: Will have 50g whey PWO, then a few hours, have my ‘dinner’. Usually just a meat and a starch, sometimes Whey+Milk+Cereal. Keep fat on the low side in this meal

8-10pm: This once again depends on goals. If gaining, This is where I get ‘dirty’, and eat whatever to hit my macros. Usually P+C+F in this meal. If leaning out, will sometimes just have a protein source.

That’s my usual breakdown. Coffee isn’t ‘essential’ to this, but it allows me to get in VCO, which seriously has some great properties both for health and physique enhancement.
