lol I loved it bro you were crackin me up the whole time. loved the jean shorts and cut off plaid shirt lol
I have a similar personality and am a total goofball. so you were saying you DONT eat carbs in the off season except for PWO?
I look forward to hearing what dante wanted to get across.
heres apost dante put up about leaning out with low carbs and dc'ing....
--------------------
Doggcrapp: ok bigpete I took a couple of sentences out of your posts up above for you to look at again
"for example. I know this method, doggcrapp works, it's worked well for me"
"I've been training using the DoggCrapp method since November roughly. I've seen great gains and I'm a lot thicker now than before"
Doggcrapp::if a certain kind of training is making you thicker than ever before during the offseason why would you ever think its not going to keep your thickness (or make you even thicker) during your precontest phase? If your losing thickness that quickly in 3 weeks its because your panic dieting. I like people to diet for 15-20 weeks, taking the first 3 months and still gaining size. Its not even like your on a diet-your still bombing away trying to get larger but off comes the bodyfat. You do this by keeping a great deal of semblance of your offseason diet and just subtract carbs slowly out of it and wrap carb intake around the postworkout meal. The absolute worst thing someone can do dieting down is going from red meat and chicken and 400 grams of protein a day to extreme measures of tuna and rice cakes all day long. Talk about absolutely annihilating and destroying yourself. Thats panic dieting. With my methods you cut carbs at 5-6pm anyway in the offseason but always do a post workout protein carb up regardless of the time of day you train. Think of it this way, Ive personally got about 37 guys up 30-60lbs in the last year both online and some local. If that kind of training put that much muscle mass on them wouldnt it be absolutely ridiculous to drop that kind of training to keep their muscle mass (or increase it)during preparations for a show? If it aint broke for gods sake dont fix it. The training is going to keep all muscle, its the diet and cardio that make or break the deal.
Offseason diet is this
a)high protein
b)moderate fats (using olive oil for those who have trouble gaining weight)
c)carb cuttoff at 5-7pm determined by me concerning the individual
d) either protein carbs or protein fats eaten at meals (but thats not meticulous, just a concious effort)
If i was training you I would have you dieting somewhat like the following (i dont know your schedule and cardio regimen so im just throwing this out there)
1) large protein drink with flax or olive oil in it
2)some kind of meat sandwhich on a protein bun with 2-3 hardboiled eggs
3) big steak (or similiar protein ingestion)with salad and double veggies
4)protein drink and maybe some almonds or cashews
5)similiar to 3 (or if you workout here on workout days I would have you do a protein carbup (absolutely zero fat)
6)protein drink blend with zero carbs
that would be mon thru friday---on saturday you would take the first 3 meals and chow down almost anything like its going out of style, im talking french toast, pancakes, pop tarts, chili, etc etc etc blast it and then at the 4th thru 6th meal you get back on schedule like mon thru friday. On sunday you eat like you do mon-friday. That whole thing right there isnt so far off from your offseason diet the only thing subtracted is carbs which are pretty much wrapped around post workout (and a lil bit post cardio but we arent getting into that much detail here) --stay off the scale for 2 weeks at a time and try to not decipher yourself in the mirror every single day precontest because youll drive yourself batty--every 2 weeks take a look and access the progress and that will tell you what needs to be stepped up or stepped down (cardio)--oh yeah and at 4-6 weeks out stop rest pausing and straight set all the way in to the show. You want to be in some incredible nasty shape at 4 weeks out and inside out shredded at 2 weeks out. I know the training will keep your muscle mass what im worried about is what your doing diet and cardio wise to be losing fullness so quickly in 3 weeks
And then the on the topic of "shitloading" Dante lays out his template here:
basically I have them
a)take in their majority of carbs postworkout 3x a week during the week (obviously some trace carbs are going to be eaten during the day but you try to very conciously keep them pretty low)
b)green tea consumption in high amounts
c)high protein with regular sources used (red meat, chicken, eggs etc)
d)fibers (salads) and veggies (asparagus, broccolli etc etc) are used
to take up hunger slack
e)cardio done for 45-60mins on off training days (4 days a week) depending on the person --I have some people that dont need to do cardio
f)monday thru friday is strict and youll definitely be flat on thurs and fri--youll look awesome on sunday
g)saturday morning they shitload for the first 2 to 3 meals and then get right back on schedule (but at a somewhat looser (not much!) pace than mon - fri)--what i mean by that is people go out to eat alot on the weekends and are in a rush--so I account for that --where adjustments have to be made but still trying to keep on the diet the best of your ability
h)one cardio session is done on saturday post shitload (depends on person again though)
alot of people abhore cardio and this has allowed me to minimize cardio with alot of them (not all though)
