Hey all!

Postby Jez on Mon Mar 24, 2008 6:26 pm

I was directed to the site by Ollie from MyProtein who happens to be a good mate in the Brizzle... :)

Just thought I'd say hi and pop up a journal for some constructive input! ;)

Brief background is that I was carrying a lot of extra weight from heavy beerage from the last few years... Upto a maximum of 90.5kgs November last year. So I got a little direction from Ol and joined a gym. Through cutting carbs down to an absolute minimum (<40g daily), doing a fair amount of compound resistance training (4 days a week) and working with a deficit of around 500 calories daily I've managed to trim down to 81kgs.

I've recently been introducing carbs back to my diet at the weekends and PWO and have made some good gains in strength also. This has also led to a gain of around 3 kgs over the last month or so, with no noticeable increase in body fat. I'm still amazed by how much my body weight can fluctuate depending on glycogen levels... 82kgs on Friday to 85kgs on Monday after a big carb load... (Anabolic-y type diet)...

Anyway I'll put a bit more detail in my Journal when I post it up...

Jez... :)

Easy Jez, Ed here- met you in Oh Calcutta last weekend, just as Ollie was chowing down on some tasty dynsentry-filled prawns by the sounds of it.

Don't forget to ramp the carbs up again before Hardware vs Therapy, you're gonna need the energy... :twisted:
