Day 14

Bodyweight: 280

Back

Underhand BB Rows - 315 x 10 - no belt, no straps

Couldn't get a pump to save my life today. Even had 160g of carbs (white rice) preworkout.

[The Neck]

Progress is looking top notch!!

Product is the way to go (as long as you have a job lol). Think about the stuff some guys get free - Supplements (OTC and Rx), Egg Whites/Chicken Breast/Steak, Gym and Tanning memberships, free chiro and massage, free t-shirts and/or gym gear (gasp, etc.)....

I mean if you only had free product and no cash on that stuff imagine how much money you would save annually!

Back when I personal trained people I once traded out PT for my apartment rent (guy owned the apt complex).

Ya spot on...i have a reg job...so anytbing else is a plus...

Day 15

Bodyweight: 282

Delts/Triceps

Seated Hammer OHP - 2 x 15 - 365

Felt like shit, weights were way down, could have fallen asleep in the gym, sweating profusely...not a pleasant feeling. Got home ate, then took a 90 minute nap. Couldn't get a good pump, lines were blurry, vascularity way down. Tomorrow is an off day and probably needed. Can't wait to go back to Keto starting this coming Monday. Carbs and me don't jive. I don't have an off switch and end up eating 800+grams a day.

I have a similar problem with carbs, but I think 800g/day would kill me.

Great log, intersted to see how the keto helps, I always felt horribe running keto

[Matt Meinrod]

Keto sucks the first few days, but then I get into a rhythm. I really enjoy going 7-10 days strict and then a 1 LONG evening of cheats (not a full day though lol). When I'm eating carbs I don't ever indulge in junk, which is kinda "ho-hum" blah. Plus, here's my 'too much info' statement of the day. But when I'm eating carbs (low fat) I get the shits and when I'm on Keto they're long solid logs and shitting experience overall is much better

[Matt Meinrod]

I may carb cycle after I go Keto for a month or two. I've done it before, but never with any kind of consistency.

Lol... That was one of my keto issues, I would spend my refeed day or the day after on the pot... But it works... I just didn't have the energy to get thru my workouts after about 2 or 3 weeks..

I'm carb cycling now and like it a lot more..

Calves/Abs

[Matt Meinrod]

Day 17:

Bodyweight: 282

Chest/Biceps

Hammer Strength Incline Press - 5 plates each - 2 x 15

Felt really good had some solid pumps


Day 18 (9/28)

Bodyweight: 280

Back

Tried some new back exercises that I haven't put in my routine in a while. Had an awesome workout, felt good on the joints, and tons of energy.

Really looking forward to Monday when I start High Fat/Med Pro/No carbs (I do eat the shit out of some Species Fiberlyze)

Right now only carb source has been old fashioned Oatmeal. I put it in the shaker cup, add water/crystal light and let it get soft in the fridge. So much better than heated up.

Day 19

Bodyweight: 281

Legs

Killer workout - Hack squats - 5 plates each side for 1 x 10; stripped to 3 plates for 25 (felt like dying lol plus there was a hot chick doing deadlifts next to me so I had to stay cool lol)

One note about Halo Extreme - don't know if anyone else has reported this as a side, but for the past 19 days I've had the worst diarhea...fucking bombing my toilet 12x a day. Just brutal.

[B7emm]

i thought it was just my smoothies i guess it could be the pills.
