Eat more carbs. That low carb dieting **** is dumb. Your body needs carbs to function, feed it.

Im barely hanging on the low carb diet wagon right now.
Whats really swaying me to go back to eating more are my lifts...they have been shyt all week!

[Filmbuff81]

Even though you're disappointed you have some really strong numbers going.

What has your low carb diet been looking like?

My carb sources tend to be rice, spuds, yams, banana's, and lots O milk, and then lots of greens.

You could always do more carbs on training days and then keep them a tiny bit lower on rest days and up the protein, fat, and greens.

If you're really doing low carb, then give Targeted Ketogenic Diet a try. Basically, you only consume carbs around your training , pre workout and post workout.

Wife is closed for business if he has any carbs!!

Your "weak" makes me sad as that would be stellar for me

[jcranston]

He might be too "weak" to take advantage of her "open business" with no carbs!!!

lol! I went on this diet mostly as moral support for her, she wants to lose weight...I decided to help out.

You can always go tabata style on her. 20 seconds on 10 second rest. Best 4 min workout she will have.

So I didnt hit any PRs today, it was still a solid workout. I needed to hit 8 on my last set to tie what I did last month..oh well. Decided against doing 5x10 today, opted for sets of 5...should have used more weight, but I was really trying sumo stance out. Have a few vids. Sumo actually felt natural, may give it a try with more weight Friday. Vids, all side angles today!
What you dont see in the squat vid is some guy standing off camera...I could see him in the mirror..he was applauding me, kinda through me off when I saw him.

I couldnt quite get my hand placement right on the sumos.

Please eat carbs.....


PLEASE


Squats looked fast man. Your 5th rep was your deepest rep in the whole set IMO!!

[MatTheCur]

Sweet. I cannot wait to be squatting 3+ wheels ... Makin' it look easy!

That said, you should start looking at dropping a bit deeper, though. You were barely making parallel... Though it might just be the angle, seriously. 5th was deepest, like NC said.

Does she really want to lose weight, or does she really want you to lose weight?

I'll agree that a happy wife makes for a happy familly!

I'm lucky to have been at my heaviest at about 30% BF, but then when I was bulking I was the same weight but only 25% BF, so I didn't get any complaints from the wife.

The diet is her deal. She's been trying to lose weight for awhile, she figured low/no carbs will jumpstart it. I just jumped on the wagon. Iam down 9lbs this morning, aside from the weakness in the gym..its pretty cool I can fit in some of my old clothes again. And as far as the diet goes, we leave for vacation June 8th...diet is off during..and when I get home again..weights gotta go up!
