@TrainForPain: thanks - sounds like a good substitute - cool you and @T3hPwnisher have interest! I’ll get that started this weekend - I have a daily log going for myself and will post this weeks experiment

Hi all
First of all thanks to Chris Shugart for the amazing Velocity Diet plan. I have done this twice now, the first time round I was a bit too generous with the HSM and didn’t really progress as much as I wanted, I went from 20% to 15.7% body fat while gaining about 1kg of lean mass. Chart below.
The second time was way more successful, largely because I reduced my HSM mainly to a salad with cheese, nuts, and some sort of fish or meat. I am at the end of the 6-week extended plan now and went from 17.3% to 12.3% body fat, while gaining about 2kg in lean mass. Chart below (yeah, I stopped being anal about weighing myself daily, LOL).
I have decided to take it further, go on a week 7 now, then take a break, and perhaps get at it again after a hypertrophy bout of Charles Staley’s “Train Size, Then Strength: A 10- Week Program” (i.e., only the size portion).
I have been doing the V-Diet’s advanced lifter’s plan and its extension, which seemed to fit my profile best after 20 years of lifting.
The extended plan prescribes increased reps for medium to light exercises for 2 weeks.
Does anyone have experience in going beyond this? I am thinking of slightly increasing reps further but clearly there’s a ceiling. I am also going to walk a tad longer, as I have been doing for the previous 2-3 weeks, maybe also on the V-Burn Challenge day.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
E

Outstanding work! Huge congratulations!
Can you jog my memory on what the advanced lifter’s plan is?
Thank you!
As a member coach, you probably know the V-Diet has 3 different plans, beginner, intermediate, and advanced, along with detailed work-out plans for each of the 3 levels. I have been doing v3.5.1, dunno if there’s been a change in a later version (I understand v4.0 has been released).
Sorry if this has already been addressed, but would this diet be recommended for a female and if so would there be adjustments to it?
If you read through this guide here, it lays out the suggestions for female trainees throughout

Tag me if you give it a shot! If you’re thinking about it, my own lesson learned is start reducing your carbs now. I think it was harder for me to adjust to the low carb nature than the low calories

It will be closer to April or May. I was thinking it might be a good way to end the challenge assuming that I’ve reached my lifting goals by then. Just want to give myself time to prepare. But I will let you know for sure .

Would that have to be a separate log or could I do that on my already established log?

So, I don’t really eat any grains these days (they turn me into a giant balloon). I get most of my carbs from fruit and veggies. My typical day includes 1 banana (pre workout) one apple and about 100g of blackberries. Veggies are usually around 150 g of frozen mixed veggies and 45 g black beans for lunch and then whatever veggies we have for dinner (read canned shitty veggies). Also some pico de Gallo and half an avocado on my omelette in the morning. Does that seem excessive? I don’t want to cut too much out too soon since I’m trying to build, but I want to limit how crappy the transition will be. Any advice would be welcome as I would like to be prepared so I can be as successful as possible.

Definitely not. I was coming from a relatively high carb, lower fat diet and it was just a little tough for me to manage the blood sugar swings my first V diet run. It didn’t destroy me or anything; I just had more cravings/ was hungrier. The second time I did it, I was more fat adapted; that felt like a much smoother transition.

Thanks for the reply. I will probably bug you more once I get closer to the start. Sorry in advance. Lol
