Today was body parts I want to emphasize more. Lats, back width, chest-especially, and biceps, triceps, and forearms. Its a high carb day, which is once every eight days. Left elbow is hurting so didnt push it. Moreover, next time, Im thinking of throwing in 25 dbol, only on this day, as dbol converts to a potent methyl-estrogen, just for more estrogen health, and the added benefit of more hormones , on this day.
Something I used to do back in 2004-05 was creatine load for 2-3 days at 25 grams a day, then not take it for a few days, then repeat. It does cause gas.
Back then my weight would go up 2-3 lbs, during those couple days, and I expect it to be somewhat similar esp on the high carb day. The reason the do it on the high carb day , especially, is because high carbs cause creatine to be store more efficiently, in the muscle. While on the lagging body part day, I'm doing this, while other days, depending on the body part I do zero, five and ten gram creatine days.
As far as nutrition , I like to get in quite a bit and even a lot of fiber. Beans, potatoes, Tortilla fiber wraps, fig bars, esp on high carb days, potatoes, sweet and white, rice, vegetables usually once a day or more, esp not on high carbs day. While at work, usually, first three meals are protein and fat, or sometimes, may take in thirty grams carbs an hour or two before resistance exercise, then take in protein and carbs next few meals. Usually before bed its lower carbs.
I would like to get strength up, esp on chest, as in 2016 was pressing more, in fact 25 lbs more. Furthermore, can only do what elbow, left elbow,, and body lets me. I ve learned from experience, its not worth forcing it because 1. its other bodyparts assisting while I heave it up, and 2. ive gotten injured too much, which set back strength and muscle increases. Ive accepted I can only do what the body allows. That doesnt mean, esp when on more anabolics, that I wont utilize intensity techniques, and push things, just have to be intelligent about it and not push too hard, esp non that particular elbow thats been bothersome .
Sleep has not been the best ; however I think tonight will be good, because usually on high carb days, it is improved. I took an forty five minute nap after resistance exercise earlier, and naps after a good pump session definitely help recovery.
Moving on to better quality, I think I may be leaner than the below picture, at the least close, on December ninth. This diet @b-boy has helped me with is definitely working, verses what I would do, because the sour cream on the potatoes, and extra sharp cheddar cheese, in eggs, and eggwhites was something Ive overlooked, and glad ive taken it out. I appreciate you , Brad, you have helped a lot, I see it even in the couple or few weeks. I stopped journaling in nutrition log in maybe 2017, 2018, and so glad Brad has taken the time because its made me aware of how many calories I've overlooked, which obviously caused increased body fat .
