i'm trying a 5x5 stef, just for a change and to see if my body does react to it, i'm definitely very sore since starting it, so we'llsee - i've got 6 weeks left on it, before i do a cut, where i might stay on it, at the same weights (ish) t try and limit lean muscle loss. Basically i'm just experimenting at the moment.
Hows tricks?

Hi stef,
I don't really have much of a plan for the cut, other than to do a gradual decrease in Carbs, and an increase in cardio (AM mostly).
I'll decide on things closer to the time, no doubt i'll be asking a few people on hee, including you for advice, and Kinglean i expect.
Make time for Martin! i'm sure you'll reap the benefits ;o)

I'm 6'3 and a bit, depends on the time of day!!
Carb cycling? Dunno if i like the sound of that, my diet is quite good at the moment, and i'm not overly looking forward to my cut food wise, but looking forward to revealing my definition........

By my calculations i'm getting around 3500 calories a day with over 300g protein. Thanks maximuscle!
The only reason i can think that i wasn't gaining before my break, was that i had overtrained and not receovered properly.

Calf Press - 140k

A very good workout, sweated my arse off, 33 degrees my car said, thought about putting the gym off til today, but went, there's dedication for ya!
Cheers king, a few weeks and i'll be calling on that offer......looking mighty lean there bro - scary! your back looks so much skinnier than your front. hows the new routine going, your Journal has had a severe lack of attention fro yourself!
