Ha ha ha…I was totally kidding about the bounty hunter. It’s actually what I used to tell people back when I was playing, so I didn’t have to get into the whole NFL conversation. I wasn’t trying to be a dick or anything, just didn’t go around talking about it much.
I posted my current macro breakdown a few days ago. It’s basically the same. I’m still carb cycling…3 day rotation.
However, one change I’ve made this week is added in another day of weights. As I mentioned before, it’s best to increase activity, before dropping calories. I’m already hovering around 3000 on most days, which is pretty low for a guy my size, although, I don’t need that many calories overall to maintain my weight.
My current training schedule is as follows:
Monday—Lower body (Quad dominant…strength focus)Front Squat, Back squat, leg press, step ups and reverse hypers)
Tuesday–upper body (Press dominant…strength focus, advanced techniques) + chest isolation work
Wednesday—lower body (him dominant…mostly olympic movements) + some back work
Thursday–upper body (Press dominant…less demanding press variations…reverse band press…minimized eccentrics) + shoulder isolation work
Friday—lower body (some lower body pressing + hamstring flexion type movements)
Saturday—upper body (press dominant…power complexes)
Sunday—lats, biceps and triceps
I consume about the same amount of cals and macros on the big training days…moderate carbs, high protein, moderate fat. It varies according to what focus I have that day. Consume a bit more on lower body days, then upper days, and bring cals down quite a bit on Sundays.
Something like:
Monday: Lower body strength work
350 protein
175 carbs
100 fat
Tuesday: Upper body press strength work
350 protein
150 carbs
100 fat
Wednesday: Lower body hip dominant (olympic lifts and deads)
300 protein
250 carbs
90 fat
Thursday: Upper Body Press dominant (least demanding of the press days)
300 protein
150 carbs
90 fat
Friday: Lower Body pressing + hamstring flexion
350 protein
175 carbs
100 fat
Saturday: Upper Body Press dominant (Power Complexes)
300 protein
150 carbs
90 fat
**usually have a cheat meal in the evening
Sunday: Lats and Arms
MAG-10 pulse during the day + workout nutrition (2 finibars, 2 Workout Fuel, 2 Anaconda, 2 MAG-10)
Larger dinner:
10 ounces meat and veggies, Flameout
pre-bed:
2-3 scoops Low Carb Metabolic Drive, 2 Tbsp peanut butter, Flameout and Superfood
I also started to add in some treadmill work on lower body days and do sled pushes for lower body on upper body days, to facilitate recovery for the following days leg workout
My lifting sessions range from 1:45 to 2:15 minutes…7 days per week. So, I’m getting anywhere from 12-15 hours per week of total exercise, with 95% of being weight training.
That’s a lot for the 10 1/2 week out mark, but I simply love to train, do it intelligently and will make adjustments as needed along the way to ensure I come in as lean as possible, WITHOUT being totally depleted and weak.
Hope that helps.

Holy shit dude, you’re even bigger than I thought. You’re a pretty humble dude, so I’m sure you don’t like to do things like this, but will you post some more pics of your current physique so we can see what you look like. I had no idea you were this huge!
Anyway, I’d also like to hear more about your job if you don’t mind! BOUNTY HUNTER! Pro ball player? Dude, how unreal is that!!! If I were on the run, and you came after me, I would literally shit my pants.
Lastly, what’s your current macro breakdown? Do you feel tired/weak throughout the day? I know that can be part of the game when dieting…For me, I usually sip my surge recovery before and during while bulking when I’m always full of food, but now that I’m “cutting” I just down the 2 scoops on the walk over to the gym then have water throughout…More energy going in…And also, how do you know when to lower kcals/how much do you lower them when you do?
Thaniks for the info, motivation, awesomeness, and humility I get whenever I see your avatar…[/quote]
