Questions from a guy with a jacked up schedule
 

I work 2nd shift, 2 p.m. to 10:30p.m. I LC Monday through Friday till I go to bed. When I wake up on Saturday I start the carb up and dont stop till Sunday at bedtime.

My workouts kick arse Monday - Wednesday which is good cause thats arm day. Thursday and Friday my workouts begin to suffer some but that's what Ripped Fuel is for right???

Anyway, am I way off track here? I like the way I'm doing it now but dot want to totally screw it up. I felt like crap tonight though, unknown why but had a pounding headache, like an idiot I ate a Payday, headache went away though.(feeling guilty to though)

I havent made a huge jump or should I say drop in scale weight but do feel a difference in my waistband.

Should I stick with what I am currently doing or should I cut off my carb up time earlier in the evening on Sunday.

By the way, I work out Monday-Friday from 9a.m. to 10:15 or so. I know I should do cardio but dont, Strictly heavy weight lifting.

-Right.



-Hmm, pounding headache? I wonder if you went 'hypoglycemic' there for a minute. Don't sweat the 'Payday'... just wait to the 'carb-up' to get your 'highs' off the 'goods'.



-This is probably because you're retaining (maybe even gaining) muscle WHILE dropping fat. That's why the scale isn't moving and you feel the difference in your waist. Don't get too hung up on the scale... especially on a 'CKD'. It can be psychologically disheartening if you do (as rapid weight gain is unavoidable during the 'carb-up').



-If you're getting good results from what you're doing- keep doing it. Otherwise, you might want to consider shortening the 'carb-up'.



-If you want maximal results from the 'CKD' (from a fat-loss standpoint) ...for the love of $%^& do some cardio! Do at-least 3 sessions a week first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for 30 minutes! PLEASE!

O.K. I will seriously consider it.

Thanks for the info.

Zeus is right on all counts.

the AM cardio thing is HUGE. It's tough I know, but it works like a charm.

Payday, huh? I'm a Kit Kat man myself, but I only allow it once in a while as a reward to myself. Twizzlers wil have to do ... <sigh>

TD,


I know Zeus is right on with the cardio thing.

Im not making an excuse here but I am now 30 and have needed knee surgery for a bone chip behind my knee cap since I was 16.

I am hoping to have it fixed this year but cardio such as running kills my knee, so does a lot of walking or cycling.

I need to find something good to burn fat that is knee easy.

-How about using a 'stationary bike'?
