in my extremely humble opinion all that you have described above could also point to overtraining ops:

einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.

potentially but i think the increased cardio and less carbs is what is f**kin me. also that i dont sleep too good

i had problems sleeping whilst dieting for comps i ended up trying GHB and then on to nytol, i would not recommend the GHB but the nytol seemed to work.

Solid training session today.

4 x bent over rows 8 - 12 reps
4 x deadlifts, 2 high rep range 2 low rep range
4 x pulldowns (wide grip) 8 - 12 reps
4 x dumbell row, 35kgs, 12,10,10,8 reps

Sweated my arse off too.

Got in a little bit of a bad mood because there is this black dude in the gym today who must be genetically gifted, he has an absolutely awesome physique. He was pretty massive 3 months ago when i last saw him, but its obviuos that he has cut BIG TIME, he is probably 6'3", 15-16 stone CUT. I mean we're talking 28" waist with a 48" chest.... his V shape is unbelievable, and i could see his abs through his shirt.

Now i'm not pissed off that there is a guy who has obviously done great in bodybuilding and stuff like that, but its just that I feel like i'm trying my hardest to achieve my goals and i'll never get anywhere near to that guy's standard.

Also.... 3 or 4 months ago i was just as strong as him, and now he is slightly stronger (but should be far stronger for his shape)... i think hes genetically gifted.

Ah well gonna stop moaning now. I am just getting a bit frustrated at my perceived lack of results.

The cut continues. (btw no weight has been lost for a few weeks... i'm still 13 stone 12 fluctuating 2 lbs either side.)

had a couple of down days where i felt like shit and just saw a tiny fat little shit in the mirror.

i then went on 2 no carb days (apart from dextrose PWO and flavourings like ketchup with meat), and had a sauna each day. It has made a dramatic difference and has shed maybe 3 - 5 lbs of water weight.

Coupled with this, i did a strong ab workout which still hurts 4 days on , and started squatting again, legs are still in big pain. (all in a good way !)

Also put my latest order in on cheapuksupplements.co.uk, i bought 2 milk protein isolate 2lb tubs, 6 5lb dymatize elite whey tubs, and avant labs sesathin.

Quite excited about the latter because its had some good reviews and i feel like my fat is finally shedding, so bring on the shred !

6! How long would they last you? What flavours do you buy?

Stop being so down on yourself, its painfull to watch.

Goodluck with it!

a 5lb tub lasts me 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.

i bought 4 choc mint and 2 banana.

"Goodluck with it!"

fat is definitely starting to shift, and had a couple of very intense training sessions when i went back home (essex) with poom.

Weight currently 13 stone 7, and lifts aren't too shabby but not up to where they were i suppose.

Deadlift still 180, bench just 120, shoulder press has definitely decreased a bit, doing 35kg dumbells for sets rather than 40s now.

I have started hitting my abs hard as I have definitely been neglecting them, and also started squatting ! Nothing too heavy as my knee is shite, only about 80kgs or so at the moment. Its something that I never will be particularly strong at, it hurts doing a squat with no weight at all...

Started Avant Labs Sesathin today, 1.5ml 3 times a day. (might bump to 4 times)

The all-the-whey milk protein isolate is the most disgusting thing i've had to drink so far, but will be having 6 egg whites 200ml milk, 1 scoop of isolate and 1 scoop whey before bed. - will just have to down it and immediately put some gum in or something.

sticking to minimal carbs now too, although if i really feel like i need some i will do, and i'm drinking a bit of milk, dextrose PWO, and sauces and stuff have some carbs in.

Carb intake in the region of about 75grams, so yes very small.

Protein still huge, about 300 grams or so.

Calorie intake about 2250 - 2500, with cardio 3 to 4 times a week, weight training most days with an average of 1 to 2 days off a week.

On the off days eating about 300 - 400 grams carbs.

Will keep you posted

feel like shit

have just returned from the gym with raz to do a triceps and shoulders day

there were at least 3 or 4 big guys there and i just felt like shit. totally knackered from only about 5 hours sleep and a shitty day at work.

my mood changes are so crazy at the mo, its like if i wear the wrong vest or tshirt in the gym then i just get in the worst mood and feel like i'm either totally fat or have no muscle.

as a consequence of a bad mood i had a shit workout and didn't even feel like i was sweating.

gonna really try my hardest to sleep as much as possible as it ****ing sucks when i feel like this.

missed this mornings cardio because i was so tired, and my girlfriend wants me to come out tonight meaning i'll be asleep at like 2 to wake up for work at 930, so if i want to get the cardio in then it'll mean 5 hours sleep. great.

I think tomorrow and maybe even the next day i'm gonna take off days. Gonna try and sleep as much as possible.

I just feel like i'm doing everything in my power to train as hard as possible but my perceived image of myself is so low its holding me back in its own right..........

ok enough ranting on my mental state.

physical stats: weighed in 13 9 today (which heightened my bad mood)
lifts were weak
energy very low.
