i wanna drop my weight soon, or perhaps now, just wondering if a caloric deficit will effect strength levels? will implementing cardio after my program effect recovery/strength? btw ive tried completely removing starch from my diet before, works fast but it usually wrecks my immune system... get sick fast and hard to recover... can anyone advice me on this??

More fat. You need fat to digest fat. The problem is most people when they cut they neglect to replace lost calories with not only sufficient protein and also sufficient fat. I'm cutting too, without cardio but i'm getting a lot of fat in, especially at night. I've stocked up on natural peanut butter, flax seed oil caps, and i fill in my remaining caloric deficit with egg yolks, chicken skin, etc. Lose too many calories too soon and there goes your muscle mass.

Strength wise you won't go down if you cut properly, endurance wise, yes. It'll be affected.

Thanks dude been trying to figure that out for quite some time now notworthy.gif will there be a difference if you take in majority of the fat in one sitting, or time of day?

Lol, yes. You'll get fat. Spread it out. Just like how you take regular meals.

Btw, I like the way you structure your workouts. It's one of the few powerlifting journals which is worth looking at, it's not... haphazard and disorganized and purely for attention gaining. I'm sure your body will respond unlike some other individuals who still.... look the same everytime they post progress pics despite following impressive sounding programs (not to say those programs are bad mind you)
At close to 90 kilos, despite the fact you claim you're fat (which i don't really believe), you must be pretty decent sized. Being someone who has done powerlifting before with ME, RE and DE days incorporated into my program, it's rather enjoyable reading your journal.
I look forward to your progress pics one day.

Right now i'm in the process of deloading, i've been going heavy and high rep for as long as i can remember and i think i have to learn to anticipate when my body needs short deconditioning period before it actually starts showing signs to wear and tear. Plans are in my journal.

Thanks for the input, yeah my BF level is high now, but i intend to bring it down, to tell you the truth i never understood powerlifting training, the westside template to be exact until just recently and i have only begun to REALLY use it, last few attempts at it only lasted 2-3 weeks because i didnt have a clue how it worked and my previous gym had no power rack/ squat rack only smith machine and dumbellls were limited to 24kg, had to go to the state gym, but unfortunately the state gym had its own problems, their dumbells were like 2,6 15, 24, then suddenly you see 30-50kg... very hard to train, lacked some eqp too, as for size, i guess i never had a porblem putting on size now that i know what i know, just that i was doing the wrong things, i gain weight easillllllyyyyy, so thats the reason i gotta bring my weight down now, otherwise my ratio cant be good and yes, i wanna achieve elite status some day:p

Bah! You worry too much. =) You'll do fine with the right equipment. What structire is your bodytype? Ecto, endo, meso?

I am ecto, built my way up from 50kg to 90kilos now. Gonna try hitting 95kg with no fat gain. I like the challenge, balancing my nutrition and getting in just the right amount of macros. I'll know if i cut too much cals when my next workout goes to sh!t.

Its time i get some advice for diet, so here goes
all here roughlylah... depends on what time i wake up and other stuff

7am: Whey protein + milk

8.30am: 3 slices of bread, 4 boiled eggs

11am: can of tuna + can of soybean milk OR rice with a side dish of vege and chicken/fish and meat OR Grilled Chicken

3pm: (Postworkout) Whey protein shake

6pm: Omelette (4eggs, 2 sausages, thrown in a carrot and some onions)

10pm: Oatmeal with milk

very simple diet... i think tongue.gif  need REALISTIC advice on how i can make it better and no McDonalds is not an option for me tongue.gif

If i remember correctly you said you are aiming to cut. You have too much carbs in the later part of the day which is not advisable. If you want to consume cheat meals, do it preworkout or post post workout but not both. For example, today's back workout, my preworkout meal was 2 plates of white rice, 1 large piece of curry chicken, a large serving of curry beef, lots of chicken curry gravy and nasi lemak sambal. I cheat a lot more than you but my bodyweight is still decreasing on cutting phase because it is the onely cheat meal i permit myself to have on a workout day. On non training days I don't cheat at all, period. I keep it strict. Your breakfast has insufficient calories. Why eat again 1.5 hours later after 7am? Your whey and milk already constitutes almost 40 grams protein so you don't need to eat eggs again so soon after that. Add in oats to your 7am meal.
As for the 10pm (prebedtime meal), scrap the oatmeal, go for milk and whey and peanut butter.

Thanks for your input. Ok, so i should put most of my carbs on pre/post workout, breakfast is a big problem for me, i gotta get up early and rush so i dont miss my bus to college, gotta find a way somehow, is oats in the morning a good idea? i thought its low G.I and you gotta feed the body as soon as possible, thats why i take whey first thing in the morning, got difference if its taken with oats?

Not too difficult. You get a shaker, put whey, milk, oats and shake. Then drink it down. Bam! Breakfast. There's fast acting protein (whey) to reverse catabolism first thing in the morning, slow acting protein (milk) to last you through class till lunch time and you get slow acting carbs which also last long in your tummy. Good eh? =)

-no preworkout meal, but had a shake in between sets
-timing was off, few mofos were staring away it became annoying (which is why on my last set of bp i did 6 instead of 3). seriously people, if you wanna use the bench just ask whether can share/work in or how many more sets more or go do something else first, dont stare at people with a stupid constipated look on your face  vmad.gif  mad.gif

If you want to have a shake in between your workouts, make it simple and fast acting. Sometimes i have no time to wait for a full preworkout meal or shake, so what i do is I mix in 2 scoops whey and 2 tablespoons dextrose, add in a lot of water in a shaker. Drink half of just before the workout and sip the other half throughout the workout. I read about this from Milos Sarcev's articles.
