I am getting confused by the backloading… How many cals are you eating everyday? And how much weight have you lost?
For your backloading, when do you train and then start the backload?
EDIT: I’m not trying to understand the diet (I have the book), I am trying to understand how do YOU do it because clearly it is working better for you than me hahahah[/quote]
Calories have nothing to do with bodyweight and performance in a strength sport. It’s what and when you eat, not how much.
Anyway, I’ve dropped almost 20lbs in a couple weeks… by accident. I started the diet a little over 280, then the batteries in my scale died. I just put in new ones the other day and it had me at 265. I knew it was down because I am starting to get elevator cable like veins popping up all over the place… I will now try to suffocate them back down with layers of fat.
I don’t even do the program optimally. I train early in the morning usually and I have about 10-12 extra workouts thoughout the week. So, I don’t know what to tell you. haha.
You really have to go nuts on the backloading to get the most out of it.[/quote]
Well to be fair how much you eat is relevant… If I were to eat 16 cups of whole wheat pasta, 4kg of red meat, 4 liters of skim milk and 3kg of chicken a day it would not be a good choice, despite the fact that these are great food hoices… Obviously a retarded example but you get my point…
When you train AM, what carbs do you eat before the backload? and when do you start your backload?[/quote]
Again, its what and when you eat. Whole wheat pasta and milk are terrbile choices for most human beings.
I have about 100g of maltodextrin (NOW Foods) right after training then backload around 6pm and force myself to stop around 9, depending on my schedule for that day.
