OH CANADA! The OFFICIAL Canada thead; Version 9.0

No processed sh*t, and carbs are actually fairly low. I'll usually get 200-300 grams a day, mainly oats with breakfast, and a little bit of oats pre workout. I have mixed emotions on the carbs, everyone tells me something different.

I would get your cleaning eating on track for 4 weeks incorporating carbs so that your body stablizes in a sense. Then start depleting them week over week.

Banana and shake with dextrose is good post workout.

Yeah I'm gonna try upping them and see how that works. Probably just brown rice and steel cut oats.

I think that was matt, don't know much about it...just a new workout routine he's doing

Me?

It's just a training routine by Jim Wendler. Focuses on the four majour compound lifts. Incorporates a 3 week period of adding weights, then a deload week, before starting the next cycle.

Looks like this, per month:

Week A. Warmup, 75% x 5, 80% x 5, 85% x 5

Week B. Warmup, 80% x 3, 85% x 3, 90% x 3

Week C. Warmup, 75% x 5, 85% x 3, 95% x 1

Week D. Deload wave – 60% x 5, 65% x 5, 70% x 5

The last set (MINUS THE DELOAD WEEK) is a #+... Almost AMRAP, but not to failure.

There are also a few different assistance exercises to do. I'll link an article.

I like this Matt, I think i'm gonna give this a try and make it my Fituary (February) training cycle. How many assistance exercises do you do and how much cardio?

I'm really going to suggest you get, and read, the book in its entirety.

The assistance program depends on which type of 5/3/1 you're doing (there are 6). Cardio is cardio is cardio... As long as you're recovering fine, then do as much as you want. Wendler stresses more conditioning, rather than cardio, however.
