8 posts above you, buddy… this program isn’t suitable for after a cut.

Why do you think that? My diet is similiar to what is outlined in the ebook, the only thing different is the workout plan. [/quote]

When CT gets back from vacation, why don’t you ask him if he recommends you do this program as a cut immediately following a cut. He will likely tell you it is not a good idea to diet for more than 12 weeks without a break where you eat at or slightly above maintenance. The reasoning being that your body will down-regulate to the reduced calories and you will not be able to lose fat regardless of how low you drop calories.

Your best course of action would be to finish your current cut, then eat normally and train for some time (depending on how long you have already been cutting). If less than 12 weeks, you should be able to take 2 weeks off from dieting, eat normal during that time, then start the program.

jstines, CT has told someone who, I believe, was doing the V-Diet NOT to transition into “Get Jacked Fast” after dieting. That, and the 12 week thing he’s mentioned.

I can’t wait for weeks 9-10.

Sounds good. I actually am heading to jamaica this saturday for a week, so I will stop dieting/training for a week and enjoy myself. I will start the program when I return.

Fuck that. I’m looking forward to week 11 with all the carbs!!

105

Guess I’ll drop updates in here as well. I am half way through Week 2.

Surprisingly, I only lost one pound in week one. I followed everything to a “T”. In case you are wondering I am 6’3" 234 and prolly 17-20% BF. That’s the only measurement I made after week 1, so hopefully I’ll notice some other things changing after this week.

Ideally, weight stays the same and my gut/love-handles shrink by an inch or two. Maybe it’s all the creatine…

106

Keep us posted, MorphingMatt! What were you doing before going on Get Jacked Fast, btw?

jstines - Haha, I think that when CT writes, “eating everything in sight,” you oughta take that with a few pinches of salt ;). It’s a lot compared to now, but it’s still dieting! Although right now, a time when I can eat 3/4 portions of fruit a day seems like a dream!

I just want to get to weeks 9 and 10 because I’m impatient already. I’ve been dieting hard for almost 6 weeks, and am starting to get impatient! I just want to go through the “hell” bit already and get on with my life. Know what I mean? I’m the kind of guy who’d rather run the short but intense bouts of HIIT than run like a hamster in a wheel for hours on end :).

I’m very much the same way, usually, which is why I did the Velocity Diet last year. It worked for me and gave me the momentum I needed to get fairly lean, but this time around I’m much more interested in preserving what I’ve been building, so I really don’t mind the 12 week program versus the 6-week V-Diet. I also feel like a normal human being on this program. I was something of a zombie on the V-Diet.

108

Hey guys I have been on Get Jacked Fast for 2 weeks, and it is going good. I originally had this set up for a vacation that was 12 weeks away, but we got double booked so we got offered a big discount to come earlier. I now only have until May 11th. I still want to use this program, but how should I set it up to have maximum fat loss in the time alotted? I am going to skip the peeking phase but that still leaves 8 weeks of the program to fit into 41 days. Any help appreciated.

109

I wanted to add that as of right now I plan on doing the first 4 weeks as scheduled.Then 1 week of the (weeks 5-8) phase. Then finally the final 2 weeks of hell. This will add up to 7 weeks total. Does this seem ok?

Well, if you only started at 190 on 6 ft 1, I can’t imagine you had a great deal of fat to lose anyway. I started as heavier than you, and I’m 4+ inches shorter. Jstines is an inch taller than me, and started out at 190+ if I remember correctly. So you have to factor that in.

I expect that weeks 1 through 4, and 9-10 are the most resultative in terms of fat loss, anyway. Those would be the first I cut out. One thing I would do different, though - since you might not be lifting at all on holiday - is overwork myself even more severely in weeks 9-10. When CT gets back, I actually want to ask him about adding work to those weeks. But this is just my personal speculation!

111

I bought the book, som time ago, and understand the Stutter-Reps concept, but can you give any guidelines to how you do it with the deadlift? To me it seems awkward to finish of the motion in the deadlift quarter-way!

112

I am buying the ebook today!!! Does this program have you workout 7 days a week? Are there a extreme amount of supplements? I am going to do this regardless I just want to know if I am going to have to save for all the supplements.

Thanks

Stutter reps are only done with the Romanian dead lift (stiff-legged). Quarter reps would be at the bottom portion of the lift.

Sorry I have not updated my profile in a while. I actually don’t even have long hair anymore. I started at 210 lbs at 6’1 with 13% bf. just to clear that up. Thanks for the comment. I just had one question though it seems like you are telling me to cut out weeks 1-4 and 9-10. Did you mean to say keep them and cut the other phases?

115

I started the program this week. On Monday I weighed in at 223 (i’m 5’11). So far so good, although this 40 g of glutamine i’m drinking right now tastes like shit. I’m not sure what’s worse this or stutter reps.

Typo… I meant, 1-4 and 9-10 would be the ones I definitely keep.

Good job on your starting bodyfat. I was a good deal heavier than that :(.

For some reason, I woke up feeling softer and smaller today, and then I went to have a bio impedance BF% check… Which said I only lost 3.5 lbs of fat in 3-4 weeks. To be fair, the people testing are useless, the machine itself is suspect, and I believe I lost a good deal more than 3.5 lbs of fat. At the same time, not exactly uplifting… On top of that, I’m finding it harder and harder to eat 7 meals. Today, it was like:

9 AM - wake up, 160 grams of salmon, scoop of whey, pear (500 calories)
(12 AM - went to gym still full)
1:45 PM - had PWO shake and fruit (600 calories)
3:30 PM - had my dairy & protein meal (finished at 4) (350 calories)
7:30 PM - omelette cooked with coconut oil (finished at 8) (300 calories)

Now it’s 10:30, I’m not hungry, and I’ll probably just have one more meal or a small snack and a meal before I go to sleep. That puts me at slightly over 2000 calories for the day. That I’m full at only 5 meals out of the 7 I should be eating makes me worried that I dieted too hard and screwed my metabolism. Or maybe it’s just the HRX…

Well, no matter. I’m gonna ride this out and see where it gets me. I’ve been playing the amounts of food by ear so far, I’ve done alright, so screw it. Thinking of having an extra-large cheat on the weekend in case it’s a leptin issue.

I wouldn’t put any stock in the bioimpedance reading. You’d get a more accurate assessment just measuring your waist.

These workouts are kicking my ass. I miss doing straight sets above 80%…I can’t wait to get back to some heavy lifting in week 3. But I’m thinking that the high volume will probably do good things to my body.

i’m still contemplating when to start this program (his body is the body i want and feel i can achieve) but when i do it, will be to the extreme and heavy on the wallet.

but you can go as basic as fish oil, creatine, some BCAA, whey, and ZMA

wow. you have a scale. that’s hardcore!

my plan was eye ball: since 6 oz is the size of a deck of cards and equals 170g, a deck and a half = 3 portions of chicken.

maybe i should get a scale =) i looked up conversions and a portion @ 75g=2.646oz

50g=1.764oz
25g=0.882oz
150g=5.291oz

i think that covers it.
