I made my own kind of program which is based off of Thib’s transformation protocol. I try to keep carbs as low as possible monday-friday, except for my post workout shake, which has 60g Waxy and some hydro.
Then on Saturday and Sunday, I nix the fat intake and for the first 3 meals of the day I have 60-80 g complex carbs, like ezekial cereal is probably the “cheat” food of the weekend. My weekends are not cheat days by any means, probably the opposite.
I call them “healthy refeeds” pretty much packed with healthy carbs, whole grains, blueberries, buckwheat, sweet potatoes . . . no burgers or fries or any of that crap. Hell, by the time saturday morning comes along I am literally drooling over my plate of buckwheat pancakes, ezekial cereal, flax meal, and blueberries.
With ALL of my carb meals i use some sort of Glucose disposal agent. Right now I have some Anabolic Pump, which has corosolic? acid, some r-ala, and some bitter melon. Most of the time I’ll use the Anabolic Pump, for smaller meals typically r-ala and bitter melon. Its funny, I look a heck of a lot leaner on my weekends than I do on the weekdays . . .
Cals during off days are around 1700-2100, on workout days 2000-2500 and on the weekends, which are heavy leg and heavy chest days I eat 2800-3200. So far, my strength is increasing each week and my bodyfat is dropping, so I’m not going to change anything. I do 20 minutes of incline walking after all of my leg workouts and I run sprints on my heavy chest day.
So, I guess you could say that I’m doing a “recomp.” The fact that the weights are going up each week tells me I am growing, and the fact that my waist keeps getting smaller tells me I’m losing fat.
I tried the GSD last year and lost a ton of size and my workouts SUCKED, but I did get cut. As I write this now I am gargling a myoblast pill in my mouth . . . will check back in a few days
