Let’s do this.

In for this. You’re pretty damn strong, and your posts are a solid mix of hilarity and helpful advice.

When you say CBL’ing, are you just meaning you’ll keep your carbs to later at night, or actually using the kind of layout John Kiefer advocates (guy who popularized CBL in recent years)

This is what calorie tracking looks like to myself. Which Olympic lifts have you found helped you get swole???

The former.

@Mods: Why did you move this to the training log section? It’s not meant to be a training log…

Yes.

what’s your reasoning for following backloading rather than what Shelby had you do in the past?

The backloading worked surprisingly well during my last cut (mentioned it in my my training thread); I lost a lot of fat WITHOUT doing ANY cardio. It also played to my psychological weakness - eating big after training.

Brief update

Notes

  • I decided to add 15g of carbs to each meal before training because I was crashing way too hard yesterday - this shouldn’t happen so early in the diet.
  • On Tues and today I went running for my fasted AM cardio and both times it was a nightmare; not the conditioning part but my hip flexors and knees were screaming the whole time; probably from the huge sumo deadlift volume lately; might have to switch to biking (did that yesterday) until it gets better.
