H.A.R.D.C.O.R.E.

got some legs in today - felt great! I'm with you Desmond, I ate way too many calories today. Well, yesterday for that matter too. Didn't each much over Thanksgiving though. I'm not really big on the whole "let's celebrate wiping out a viable potion" it seems insane to me. Back to the grind.

Ironwings: I will I think just do 2 weeks of cardio only. No HIIT either. Some tennis and running - that is all.

I reckon I had one of the worst cheats in history today - probably consumed 8000 cals+. Oh god!!! Just added a week to any future diet.

des: cardio is kind during your rest - you WILL go crazy not doing anything. How about taking one week off - cardio only? Then get in some negatives or high rep training (low volume). I'm on week 2 of rest and still burning fat with cardio and diet only. I feel a little soft but I understand that is all in my head (whatever ;-) - either way the rest has been tough but worth it. Today I might slip in some light leg training (and cardio of course) just to keep me sane.

LOL!

Ironwings: stay in this forum lol. But seriously we need more not less great people here.

My protein consumption is very high ATM - 270-320g. It's about 300g P; 220 (net carbs); 90-120F.
The painful ing has abated - body adjusting to leucine? A rest will drive me crazy, but it may be for the best. Another option was a 2 week mini-cut before Christmas as I'm spending NY eve on the beach. I'm guessing I'm at 11% now (avatar is recent and representative), so I could maybe drop 2% in two weeks.

I know this doesn't seem like a rest but I was going to train with no stressful techniques - e.g., negatives, etc - and maybe even cut volume while increasing cardio dramatically. I miss running and tennis.

I dunna know - sticking to a plan of rest is hard unless I'm actually on a holiday. I also tend to eat worse on rest days than when I'm training.

des -how much protein are you taking in? My consumption has gone up considerably too...

oh - and I vote two weeks off. I took a week recently and it wasn't enough - even though I thought it was at the time. onebreath is finishing up his two week break. I know he is going crazy but it has been worth it.

none of the guys in here post " across the land" comments. Perhaps there are some ladies (I refuse to call them ) who have a special position among men. They are an exception, they fit none of the categories you used - not a -teaser, a cold fish, an easy lay, or, a sneaky . They are honorary. They even share your same contempt for most women. Hmmm....

needto - I don't think your boys are interested in my juice - but let's see. I'll post up. I might even play along with your favorite album cover avi. Mine is sticky fingers ;-)

Happy turkey day everyone!

Omega concludes on 7th of December. May have a week or two break not sure for body to feel fresher. It may be best to start in Jan too simply because of all likely Christmas drinking/eating. Not sure.

I think I have been overdoing the protein in last week - have been ing incessantly.
