I’m actually erring more toward a Cyclic Ketogenic Diet.

Oh. Carb cycling lol. How much weight are you trying to lose? Jw. I’ve heard a lot of people have great success with maintaining or gaining strength while carb backloading, as well as becoming extremely lean, I have no personal experience with trying to lose weight.

CKD isn’t carb cycling, it’s going as long as you possibly can with little or no carbs (to induce ketosis), and have a cheat meal/day AT MOST once a week. Plenty of BBers use this as a pre-contest cut, especially those training with Dave Palumbo. I’ve heard like 2-3lb a week loss (After carb up meal; he doesn’t do a whole day).

Also, my goal is as lean as possible without going below a 38 inch waist (my belt wouldn’t fit), and or without becoming a lightweight (below 232).

Moving the photos to Friday nights, and gonna pull a John Broz and do my measurements every day (private) to gauge how my body retains water etc

Hmm never should I truly trust Wikipedia. Do you have difficulty avoiding carbs?

Well good luck man. I’m on my way up to 308.

Well, there are so many tasty foods, yes.

Now with Palumbo’s diet, you get a max of 40g/day in INDIRECT (peanut butter etc) carbs a day, preferably post workout, as ketosis is dependent on liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen; the liver holds 100-120g (400-480kcal) of carbs.

If that leaves you wondering, yes, you use most of that up in a nights sleep. I say most because if you hit empty, your brain can’t use fatty acids for energy, and would, therefore, die, so a certain amount is conserved (probably like 40% I’d figure). After a while you produce ketones; your brain can use ketones.

Also, yes, peanut butter is part of the diet.

You also lose ketone bodies in sweat, urine, farts, shit, breath, tears, and everything else that comes out of your body. They gave some random estimate of 100-150kcal lost per day this way.

Sugar free jello and soda are Good-sends.

Waiting to get to a doc, but my current evidence for Sever’s is as follows:
-Tibial Growth Plate (Lower) Ossifies Between 15 and 17.
-Have experienced heal pain at points in my life, excluding blunt force (back kick etc)
-Plantar fasciitis in both feet, indicative of dropped arch of foot.
-Both arches are dropped.
-Dropped arches indicate
A) Tight Calves (Excessive): My calves are lose.
B) Tight/Short Heal Cord: I have a large difference in flexibility between the first tendon to become injured, and the second.
-All my injuries are insertionial. If I were to rupture, it would become avulsed from the calcaneus, not tear along its length.
-Despite equal training, all injuries rotate around the foot/distal tibia.
My frame is indeed still developing. Over the last year or so, I’ve gained a half inch on my wrist/lower radio-ulnar junction, bringing it to 8 inches around. The ulna’s lower aspect ossifies at 20, approximately.
-The first doc originally assumed it was inflammation of the distal/lower calcaneal fat pad, but was an idiot. In that stage, he may have been seeing inflammation of the calcaneal growth plate.

I’m getting in touch with my inner House, MD over hear.

I don’t think I said this before, but I wanted to be a orthopedic surgeon before being scared away by the residency and extreme debt/income ratio.
I still have been reading “Essentials, Rubin’s Pathology” and “Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine” for some months.
Right now, I’ve decided to become one of the 1%, and become a stockbroker; I love numbers. Russian periodization is something I’d have no trouble keeping track of, I know 3 programming languages with somewhat intermediate proficiency.
Anyway, this was my diagnosis. Let’s see what the doc says. He’ll shit his pants.

He’ll shit his pants, set himself on fire, and then jump out of the window. What programming languages do you know?

I’m most skilled in C#, with a fair amount of C++, and if you know C++, you know some C as well.

You are one smart dude. Your on to be something crazy once you get any problems sorted, and if I read right your wrists are basically 8" around… you definitely have the genetics to shift some serious weight…

You should look into logtalk or prolog that is some fun shit compared to any C variant.

You read correctly, and I can’t wait to show that evidence to the doc. I need the calcaneus and distal tibia X-ray’d, an MRI for the tendon, and a CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase) test to check if the muscle could be the issue, but it’s extremely unlikely the muscle is at fault, but possible, or could be caused by my diagnosis.

It looks like an ugly language, and is not nearly as useful as the C-Family when it comes to game programming, engine wise, but looks amazing for scripting, being relational, maybe a tad more attractive then LISP or Lua.

If this clears up around my 17th bday, I may still go to the show, and I just checked, the weights will be lighter then I once thought:

Block Press: 175/200/225
Yoke/Frame: 600/600
Keg Toss: 8 Keg, 17 Feet
Haussafell Carry: 300
Giant DB: 150
Keg Carry: 200/225/250

Good luck. I’m hoping to see you dominate so events pretty soon.
