Summer Cutters Crew Volume 26: Tall & muscular or short & sloppy?

[KRANE]

What you do for shoulders besides pressing?

I'm back from a long hiatus of recuperating from a back injury. Its not possible for me to do anything heavy or isolated at this time so my single source of should training comes from the triceps press bench. But even then its very slow and controlled but I try and get in as many sets as I can. I wish I could do lateral raises: front/side/back, but they're just out of the question at the moment.

High volume is pretty much the way I do everything right now. I tried squat but with the keto energy drain it was a one way trip straight down. I try to call on energy to come back up and nothing happen. And yes, that's with light weight.

Maybe I can start a bulk in 6-8 months. But for now, recuperating is my main reason for this cut. It still is painful, but at least it keeps me from just sitting on the sofa eating pork rinds all day.

Thanks. 8 weeks is nothing, although 8 weeks is also October lol. Good timing on my part.

Move to south Florida. Still in the 80s in October.

Ok going to add more shoulder stuff once cals are back in. I am just doing 5/3/1 now with minimal accessories to keep as much strength I can on the big 3.

We're pretty close in size, what works for me, should work for you, don't you think?

I train my abs very hard now, but I didn't start until this cut. I am sure next year's summer cut they will be much larger.

Fortunately, abs don't require a lot of size, and they're already there just waiting to be revealed. A bit of repetition to firm them up (I used to do several hundred crunches) and you should be good to go. Of course if you want them solid enough to withstand the unanticipated gut punch, that's going to require a bit more effort on your part.

Where i'm at it gets into the 110's in the summer and drops down to the 30's if not lower in the winter.

That's a typical desert temperature ratio. No such extremes anywhere around here.

Captain little advise for you after that binge ... yes binge , next time dont go so over board 400-500 carbs would have been fine but 1000carbs .... thats why you are feeling bloated and i but have some fat lady ankles ....

also as for your long fast why they are hurting you ; your body begins to release insulin the moment you see food and you think about eating it...

I don't agree with you on calling his refeed day a "binge". He had full control over what he was eating. A binge consists of loosing all control over food and eating 4k plus in a sitting

Yah his refeed was only 2.5k cal over and he hadn't even touched his maintenance for 12 weeks. Dude had 6g of fat I feel a binge is like 5k extra of whatever the fuk you want.

[SELVER7]

so a friend who i saw in the tram tells me ''i've been stalking you - found your instegram hehe'' and i'm like cool man, then he says ''aaaand i've read through like 6-7000 of your 20k posts on that bodybuilding.com forum''


that edm thread is great...oh and the ramadan one

Lolld strong stalker

Maybe he will read this post as well

How did you hurt your back? I also took off all last year from any heavy compounds because of chronic low back issues. Nothing crazy serious though and it only affected me in the gym... Yours sounds serious though.

Taking time off didn't help. What cured me was starting over from a 95 lb squat/135 deadlift and not wearing a belt. I wear a belt now, but only on top sets.

If you are on keto, try MCT oil for energy. I actually got off pure keto and went to traditional no/low carb on off days, some carbs on training days, and loads of carbs on weekends. It's working a lot better.

Ok pal , a refeed is not 1000carbs in one day based on the amount he was consuming over 12 weeks...he asked why he was bloated ... simple all those carbs the term is "spill" over

Anytime you eat more carbs than your body is used to toy WILL gain water weight as glycogen restores. His body needed that. Idc what anyone says . Right now he's not at a healthy weight .

^it's pretty difficult for the body to convert excess carbohydrates into body fat when there is an absence of dietary fat. the majority of the carbs will go to glycogen stores, and then much of the excess calories from carbs will be lost through thermogenisis.

I'm now at that awkward bf level where large shirts are too big and mediums are still a little too tight. Abs are starting to show just a little though, so hopefully the shreds are right around the corner.

[addictedal]

Hey brahs , been lurking this forum for the past week or two. just need some advice or someone to put my mind at ease haha

Coming up to the end of my first cut (next Saturday when i go on holiday) but im finding it extremely hard now. Just feeling bad for losing weight and a bit of size and now my head is everywhere . Started at 175lbs, lost about 15lbs in around 10 weeks putting that at around 1.5 pounds a week. Hows my macros looking , not sure whether to change something up for the last 10 days? This has been my diet for the past 5 weeks with a weekly refeed on Saturdays. Went a bit over the top the past Saturday but it was my birthday so i didn't really care , had about 5k cals . also

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...3250641&page=1 might give you an idea of where i am at

it's the "inbetweener" stage bro. smaller than you were before the cut, but still not shredded. once you break through this stage most of your progress will be pretty easy to see visually. just make it there and motivation goes sky high.

protein looks too high imo. albeit, everyone is different, but you could most likely get away with 25-50g less, and just add that to your carbohydrate intake.

[deltpecx]

i dont think about weight lost really. i weigh myself a lot but weight doesnt equal mirror gains.

So much this!


Mirror Mirror on the wall.....

No doubt i'll get there this time. I used to quit when I hit this stage because I would plateau and become frustrated. Now I've learned to use IIFYM to its full potential and be patient with my body.

Might just take the tuna out and replace it with some rice or cereal...

Yeah if they hurt your wrists that's fine not to do them. I love my dips

Good because you binged yesterday. You starting RD today?

lol my refeed was on saturday. i just worked yesterday longer than i thought. so 26 hours was just what happened.

Captain little advise for you after that binge ... yes binge , next time dont go so over board 400-500 carbs would have been fine but 1000carbs .... thats why you are feeling bloated and i but have some fat lady ankles ....

also as for your long fast why they are hurting you ; your body begins to release insulin the moment you see food and you think about eating it...

no offense but those pics were from before my refeed. idk where you got your phd in broscience.

I don't agree with you on calling his refeed day a "binge". He had full control over what he was eating. A binge consists of loosing all control over food and eating 4k plus in a sitting

if i was going to call it a binge i would of gone all out and had fuking burgers, candy, peanut butter, you name it. it would of 20k+cals. srs.

Yah his refeed was only 2.5k cal over and he hadn't even touched his maintenance for 12 weeks. Dude had 6g of fat I feel a binge is like 5k extra of whatever the fuk you want.

binge does not equal refeed. they are different. imo. idk

woodbery 10/10 looks good as fuk

yeah it was probably a spill over. but im not competing anytime soon. so i wasnt really concerned about it. im just gonna see what the weight is in a week.

Anytime you eat more carbs than your body is used to toy WILL gain water weight as glycogen restores. His body needed that. Idc what anyone says . Right now he's not at a healthy weight .

yeah i think im just full maybe a little fat gain. but who knows. idk.

^it's pretty difficult for the body to convert excess carbohydrates into body fat when there is an absence of dietary fat. the majority of the carbs will go to glycogen stores, and then much of the excess calories from carbs will be lost through thermogenisis.

yeah thats what i was reading. but i was just worried about the whole cals in vs cals out thing.

anyways looked leaner this morning. haha
