I take more carbs now since I'm doing crazy long distance cardio as well. But all carbs were taken close to workout time. This weekend am going to do carbo-loading though smile.gif

don't low carb dieting like di pasquale's anabolic diet or atkin's helps with endurance? i've never tried any low carb diets before, am planning to, but is afraid of the catabolic and lethargic first week. looking forward to what you've gotta say when you're done with your cutting phase. smile.gif
*
It helps with endurance once you're fat-adapted (which takes around 2 weeks or so) but intense cardio on fat-based diet is hard. even regs take some carbs before ne intense cardio session (i consider above 150bpm cardio for 30 mins as 'intense'). I've experienced it - fat melts off you very easily during low carb diet but as you know it's very hard to maintain due to our choice of food in malaysia. but it's doable nevertheless. I'm not in the luxury of time to prepare my own food unlike last time due to work commitments (I barely have time to wash my underwear even) so I'm not totally on low-carb. More like... 'lower carbs'.

and yea first week's gonna be hell. i think i pissed lots of ppl off during my first week of keto wink.gif

That curl was for warming up a bit. Was trying a new workout that Jones recommended for long head dev (Incline DB Bicep Curl) since I've always been doing preachers until my preachers > standing curls laugh.gif

Things

- Was pretty tired after leg raises. Just pushed for a lil cardio after postworkout.

- Running with a brace still hurts my ankle but not as bad as without one. I was still 'pedaling' with my left leg. My left leg was pain free except @ teh calves but that's normal no?

OH MY GOD.

I had a real good, fruitful session at the gym today. It involved no weights (except for counter-weights, so you can prolly guess what I did just now wink.gif) but I left the gym feeling refreshed, stronger, happier. Amma full of endorphins biggrin.gif

Workout sessions cant get any better than that wink.gif

Stretch

Things
- Was trying to find my half-eaten PowerBar but ....er... cannot found so I took pre-workout whey only for teh BCAA. Did cardio after all that bw exercies.. was VERY COMFORTABLE at 9.0km/h pace (no ankle pain!!!!! OMG FREEEDOOMMMM) . Maintained pace till my heart was pumping crazy and I felt like wanting to throw up biggrin.gif. Overshot by a couple of seconds (was aiming for 12 mins excluding warmups) cause was trying to complete 2km. But nevermindlah it was a good workout session anyhoo wink.gif

- Had so much fun with teh Swiss Ball biggrin.gif SwissBall Hamstring Curl trains your balance, back, core, hamstring hip flexors all at the same time. Looks easy but it kicked my bw-squatting legs biggrin.gif

- If only workouts can be this fun everytime smile.gif
