2 months from now i will be down to 5%bf.
SATURDAY=cheat day-high carb, high sodium, low water(too many parties going on LOL) it also helps for the following low carbs days ahead.

I don't think theres any way to get to 5% if you don't drop this part of your weekly schedule.

Evening, new to this whole site, looks awesome. I'm 13, nad I bench about 270, and I have abs, but only 6, and Im not sure to how to measure my body fat, I need one of those insturments, anyways, I am a boxer, and I mostly do light weight high reps, yet I still do heavy with 5 to 10 reps.
I've discovered that if I do light weight with a lot of reps, It increases my stamina in what ever I am doing, so my muscles don''t get shocked as fast in boxing, wrestling, and sports such as that. As far being ripped, when I first started out, I did notice that I got more ripped when I did about 15- 20 of about 60 - 75% of my max, and it also improved my max a hella lot, and I also got cardio in the muscle area in which I am working on.
I really want to get better abs, though, I've been carbing for like 3 months nowm and my bench max has went up 70 pounds, and I'm ready to cut back down again, when I'm low carbing/no carbing, I usually go 6 days out of the week with very low/ no carbs, and sunday is usually my carb day, but I dont blow out too much, because that stretches your stomach, and it's hard to
get another pack on your abs, if you are aiming for that.
Anyways, stay strong,
Evan.

Yes, that is BS. If you lift lighter weight your muscles will get smaller aswell. Lift as heavy as you can with good form no matter if your cutting or bulking.

:agree:

I dont know where this horse shit comes from...gym class? Lift heavy it will increase your natural Testorone levels, build muscle mass, and what not...like he said. Pump training is the high reps. stuff. People who do this look diff. Muscle has a pump. Bloated. Ppl who dont have more def. and size. The muscle def. and size just isnt their. In BB comp they are the ones who come in 2nd. im beat. sleep time.

with my routine and diet I usually drop 1%bf a week when i load up with carbs on my cheat day is just to satisfy the food you are craving for NAH! you don't have to over do it. and if i do i just make up for it the next following days. the reason for this is low carb diet high sodium will lead to loss of muscle tissue right? prior to the week ahead which my routine starts on sunday i will have the extra energy from the carbs and the high sodium will suck the water out of my muscles to give me a drier look. I just do extra sets or few more reps to use up my muscle glycogen. also this mode of training stimulates the production of glycogen enzymes that will block any carbs toward muscle glycogen so this one day of carbing up won't stored as bodyfat. by the way it only take 29 minutes to burn glycogen in your body which means by the time your done with your 2hr weightraining you already have burn fat within that 1.5 hrs plus what u burn doing cardio. that's how i lose weight and fat fast!
there 's a more into it but too many details :))if you want to try it go ahead if you don't want to it's fine with me. all I can say is watch what you eat and be honest with yourself. stay strict and focus to your goal of getting ripped. thank you!
