That's pretty standard. I always feel bloated after my carb-ups. Along with the gas, they're two good signs of a job well done :)

Tried N.O. Xplode the other day -- was not impressed. Then again, I've been drinking 2-3 cups of coffee before my workouts for a long time now.

Have you tried taking some time off? Taking a week or so off without altering your diet can do wonders. Also, the first thing I thought was maybe you need a bigger refeed to help bust through the...

Yeah, when I train on a pure bulk (eating carbs everyday), I feel like a beast in the weight room compared to when I'm in keto. Most bodybuilders would prefer that feeling to ketosis, and they do. So...

The stickies have more information than any one person can give in any one thread. And the stickies are old.



I think it's a temporary fix for most bodybuilders. Carbs replenishes glycogen....

Yup, definately seperate those a little bit. Anterior delts are worked during most chest movements.

Don't have much left to lose. I'm adding enough muscle to where I'm not in any rush to cut calories any further.

~ 2,400-2,800 a day during keto
~ 4,500-5,000 a day during carb-ups

I'm more...

There's not much left to learn. Keto diets are now well established.

I did learn about CKD here, and that's led to the biggest changes for me. Keto, CKD, TKD, Anabolic diets - they're temporary...

Whether it's peanut butter, peanuts, almonds, cashews etc. You have to be really careful, it's easy to overdindulge on these. They're calorie dense; all that fat.

I thought I'd share my last carb-up experience.

Pre Carb-up: 209Lbs

Post Carb-up: 230Lbs

1 Day later: 217Lbs

2 Days Later: 212Lbs

Two things:

1) I'd split up back and chest (you can do this with a back/bi's - chest/tri's split and dump arms day)

I actually prefer a back/tri's - chest/bi's split with a few days in between...

I agree with Adonisanemone - I don't stretch before. You're actually more likely to get hurt that way and you also waste energy. Stretch after. More importantly though, I stretch the muscle group I...

As an obese man you have two choices:

1) Go Bulky

or

2) Go Saggy

I haven't seen a bodybuilder with saggy skin. Not only should you get your bodyfat under 10%, but you should add A LOT of...

You're fine. Aim for less than 30 ... but even if you ate 50 you're not getting knocked out of keto. Don't count carbs from eggs - the amount is negligible.

That's the most important thing. I went through a lot of mouthwash.

When I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled I was eating normal food the next day; anesthesia, post-op stitches - and all. I didn't listen to the Doc :) - it went fine.

yeah, this fits perfectly ...

I disagree. If you're 4-5 weeks into the diet (while increasingly lifting heavier and heavier), and you're NOT gaining weight, you're LOSING fat.

You can add anywhere from .25 - .5 Lbs a week given perfect training and nutrition. The higher end is completely achievable with good training/nutrition - unless you've been lifting for a long time....

Isn't it okay to use dry oats in a protein shake? I've never done this, but plan to in the future.
