I'm doing a cyclical ketogenic diet, which means very low carbs 5-6 days followed by high carbs 1-2 days. On low carb days, I'm at around 60 grams of carbs. I'm only 2 weeks in but feel fine so far.

Focus on weight training as your main form of exercise. Cardio is just a convenient way (for some people) to achieve a caloric deficit.

How are you main lifts such as Squats, bench, deadlift, military etc? If they are the same or down only slightly, you know you are losing mostly fat. If they are down significantly, you know you...

Looks similar to Power Butter, which you can buy here on bb.com.....

This is where healthy fats become handy. Natural peanut butter is a great one because it is delicious and can easily add calories to meals. Olive oil is another good one. I keep a stash of oats,...

Good points here.

Also, getting to single digit body fat is not easy and it becomes harder to preserve muscle the lower you go (in my experience).

Keep the calorie deficit, consume adequate...

I like Super Pump 250 the most out of all the pre-workout NO products.

Great point. I think it is mentally easier to bulk compared to how disciplined one needs to be while cutting. However, it's physiologically harder to gain muscle than it is to lose fat. In other...

I'm no expert in these sorts of issues, but in my quest to understand more about the anbolic benefits of testosterone as it relates to weight training, I found this website to be helpful.

I love both of these products. I typically use Sizeon when I'm bulking and Green Mag when I'm cutting. Not saying that is the right way to do it, but it has worked well with me. I have been back...

Look up Power Butter on here. Has more protein per serving and stashed with EFAs. Any natural choice will be better than a traditional JIF. I mix 1 scoop of casein protein, 1 scoop of whey protein...

3 rules to maximize the amount of muscle/strength retention while on a cut:

1) Lift your ass off - keep lifts heavy - go as heavy as you can and stick to compound movements - give your body a...

Sizeon is by far my favorite creatine. I've noticed fuller muscles, increases in strength and retention in all the strength gains I made once I cycled off. Also, no water bloat. In fact, I look...

Yes - depending on where your calories are, getting 40% protein can be tough. There are no hard and fast rules - do what works for you. I like 40/30/30 carbs/protein/fat when I'm bulking cause it's...

Excellent post. It is extremely tough to get to sub 10% body-fat and if you are there, you are ripped up. I should actually clarify: it's extremely tough to get to sub 10% body-fat while also...

LOL - great post.

Calories should be at a point where you are losing 1-2lbs / week. It's different for everyone. So many variables in play. Easiest way is to use trial and error. Start high and slowly reduce and...

Here are what I find to be the main drivers of success:

1) Life intensely - focus on compound movements (this should always be the case whether bulking or cutting)

2) Consume slightly over...

Great post. Although, I'd say that SJW would be a better alternative to a prescription SSRI drug.

I currently take 50mg of Zoloft recently cut from 100mg and I had great results with white flood. It helped with my workouts and made me feel good. I don't think you have to rule it out. If you...
