Today i learned a very, very valuable lesson. Over the last 5 days, i’ve been only eating carbohydrates at breakfast and pre/peri workout with every other meal being meat+brocolli/protein+peanut butter. This seemed to be working fine, i was lifting fine, weights going up etc. But, i had been eating maybe 50-75g carbs/day. Yesterday i had maybe 40-50g carbs at breakfast and none for rest of the day. I played golf in the afternoon and felt absolutely drained afterwards, couldn’t move when i got back. I felt awful, had some fish and brocolli and whey with olive oil before i slept. I woke up this morning had my standard 50 carbs at breakfast, had another 50 half way through training. But, honestly, i can say it was a horrible day in the gym. Most of my lifts stayed the same, with others going backwards. I also felt like my joints were about to fall off. It clicked at that point, that i was being retardeed. This is not how Big Beyond Belief was meant to be performed. It requires high calories, not restricted calories. So, i have decided to carb load the fuck out of today and see how tomorrow is. I can guarantee it will be improved. I shall then implement only carb cutoffs as a fat limitation mechanism from tomorrow onwards. No more fish and brocolli for meals, fuck that shit.

i stopped enjoying BBB. Training full body every time with aching shoulders stopped appealing to me a while ago, so i thought should i change program to a 2/week per bodybpart split. Then, i took some pics and looked at them and thought fuck it, it’s working so why should i change. I will upload now, a pre-BBB pic, end of ramp1 BBB pic and then a pic from today (half way through supergrowth).
