Keep it up Mumford!

Jim

Due to work and other personal issues, I can’t maintain the UD 2.0 because I have to spend too much time in the gym
the UD 2.0 works great but working 8 hours a day + depletion workouts + etc is too much right now.

so, i’m going to switch to a PSMF for 11 days with a 3 day carb up.. see how that goes.
i’ll keep posting a log, but it won’t be for UD 2.0
it’ll be easier to stick to too.

thanks for all the encouragment, guys.

So, workouts twice a week
both sunday and thursday
worked out today, using lyle’s recommended intermediate workout plan
got 2 sets, pretty easy

still taking the EC stack three times a day, really helps

since i’m only eating protein, protein is set at 1.5g/lb (i’m jacking it up a little)
so i’ll be eating around 230-240 grams of protein a day

that plus a multi and 5g creatine and 3 double strength fish oils a day

this diet’s only for less then 2 weeks, so hopefully strength wont totally crash on me this time

Once you have dieted down and lost the glycogen in both the muscle and liver there is strength drop for sure.

you’re right.
hopefully i can gain the majority of it back during maintenance.

During my contest diet (16 weeks low carb) I dropped off significantly for about 5 or 6 weeks, after that I started climbing again. By the end I was nearly as strong but 40lbs lighter.

you know, maybe i’m not giving myself enough time to regain strength before rashly concluding that i have lost significant muscle mass
thanks for the input, jim

just an update, after some 4 1/2 weeks of dieting I am down 6 pounds.
I have opted for the moderate approach, but made some changes (more protein, more sleep, EC at times, and longer refeeds)
strength has not budged yet, hope that continues to stay true as I finish this cycle
