basically my routine, involves 3 days a week gym. Monday - lower body, weds - upper and friday - total. Heavy free weights, 1st week 10 reps, then second 12 and third 15. fourth week 10 reps with heavier weight.
Carb cycling just means eating carbs only on the day you train to fuel your muscles and aid recovery. So those three days eat potato rice or pasta with lunch and dinner which is usually chicken, fish or beef.
Days im not training mostly protein, only carbs i eat is through fruit and green veg.
/
As well as getting a pretty decent physique obviously feeling massive strength gains
Never really liked the don's physique for some reason.
/
On my first week of being in a caloric deficit for about 3-4 weeks. I can't believe how much I've realied on carbs for fear of decreasing glycogen levels. Definitely has opened my mind, after this mini cut. I'm definitely going to watch my carb intake. Starting to see some ab definition loving it.
Hit the critical mass protein last week as I feel I had maxed out what I could achieve just naturally. Brought the diet on board too, physique right now is looking real ripped, arms are a next level, just need to work on my abs abit more but I'm pretty happy with the way everything is looking. Go on holiday Thursday so I'm adding one more shake a day into my routine so that'll be three a day and gonna keep the diet as it is. Can't remember the last time I ate a pack of crisps or anything shitty like that.
Hitting the gym after a week of boozing and gorging_____________________________>>>>>>
Monday was PAIN but feeling good about now. Feel like I'm blowing up nicely after a week off too. Gonna try and get back to my natural peak then add the shakes to my diet.
If I miss Friday then I'll squeeze in abs on the same day as something else
Before I went on holiday i was weighing like 11st 3, came back like 10st 7 (Height 5'11)...pissed
My diet at the moment is
7am - Oats, dried fruit, and banana's
9am - 2 Pieces of brown toast spread with honey(VERY UNDERRATED)
11am - Protein based biscuits (2 packs)
1pm - Lunch - Something chicken or fish based
4pm - Second meal - something based with whole wheat pasta
6pm - Gym session
(after the sesh, get home, couple of boiled eggs and/or can of tuna)
8pm - Dinner
(Also i'm eating about 5 pieces of fruit a day)
Drinking nothing but water and green tea.
Still not eating enough tbh, but i'm getting back into things, once i've maxed out naturally i'll introduce a couple of shakes into the mix. On the weekends i let things slack a little but even then I still try to keep as to my routine as much as possible.

Fresh chicken breast half price at Tesco from tomorrow.
£3 for 515g.
Iceland frozen is still the best value (no water too), but still pretty good if you want fresh.
