Re: A log from the other side of the world The big benefit of the way that we train is that it is all planned out, diet, training, weight loss and muscle gains. I know that my main gains were resulting from improved form during this time but I still managed to put an extra 20kgs on my deadlift, 30kgs on my squat and 10kgs on bench.
If only gains like that would come every 3 months!!! You're right, main loss was body fat and I actually increased my lean mass by about 3-4kgs.
The diet as you know was a ketogenic diet, but very strict, more so than a typical atkins style that allows you to eat as much as you like providing it's not carbs. The result was a much lower blood sugar level that would ensure we missed out on the mood swings associated with most keto diets. |
