these hard runs and pushes make me feel like absolute dog shit though. idk if it's the compounds, fatigue, or super low body fat or a combo of all but it is a miserable experience to say the least

Man I hope you start feeling better man.

once the prep and reverse diet is over i will be firing wide open and good. getting through that process is brutal once bodyfat gets so low and fatigue buildup is so high.

done for the day. in a ton of pain today and pretty well wrecked across the board. not hurt but again heavy legs and legs are smoked as well as glutes are sore as shit. so both cardio sessions were shit and broke my ass off. training on the other hand even though joints are also beat to hell and sore as fuck went good. pretty much zero pump though, it will come on faintly but it doesnt last at all. strength is holding pretty good and endurance isnt falling off just yet but we are knocking on the door for sure. i passed out for about 45mins after yesterdays session pretty hard so i am figuring actually i know i am in ketosis and all the carbs i am taking in are burned off before training is even close to being done. i am slowly pulling off that last little bit of fat with about i would say maybe 2-3lbs left give or take. so we are in a pretty good place as long as i can push a little bit harder. pulled clen out today for the week to add back in next week for the final really hard push. also lowered test a smidge as well to dry out even more. day off tomorrow with just 2 cardio sessions. so hopefully i can get some recovery in.

done for the day. as noted had to pull back on cardio speed a little bit and going as long as i can at highest level. making it a little over half way before cutting the levels down. legs are wrecked so bad that if i continue to dig the hole deeper, i wont be able to hit the stairs at all. still making progress so, i dont think it will be an issue in the long run. trained with the whole family on the holiday today which is always a plus even though i am as ill tempered as a sore tail cat. got in a pretty good session with no crazy issues other than fatigue and not getting a pump hardly at all. sleep has continued to be more shitty than usual but still getting right around 7 hours interrupted sleep as of right now. not on cruise control just yet but maybe in the next 5 days or so. another one in the books.

done for the day. still going with pulling back on the cardio speed a bit with my legs not recovering properly. making it a little over halfway each session, i think i made it to 18min fasted and 17 post. the post session is normally much easier for me since i am better hydrated and have alittle bit of food in me. still sucks ass though. today's training is pretty much the easiest of the week with nothing really crazy going on. so that's always a plus. no strength drop at all but still barely any pump whatsoever but got it done nonetheless. it's getting brutal but the finish line is in sight. got cardio only over the weekend and hopefully lots of rest. then one final push hard and done.

done for the day. cardio is def set in and kicking my ass big time haha. i ride the struggle bus in, during and leave on that bad boy at the end. i do have a pretty good system going though. i hit the steps rest for about 5 tan and roll out. then back in after a few meals. helps with a small amount of fatigue management but at this point it is just a grind from the time i get up till bed. strength is still not failing off and hitting progressions so far but their is absolutely zero pump. i am basically just moving water around and burning cals and that's about it. sleep has went to shit with about 6 hours or a little more a night and i feel like dead animal ass completely now. so that puts me on point for where i should be. next 8 days will be hood up head down and finish the race.

done for the day. not going to comment on cardio because it is the same every day. i dread it, it beats the shit out of me but i get it done. second session is a tad bit better but not by much. i will say that i am not burning anywhere near the cals since my heart rate has gotten so low from being in shape. i am averaging the low to mid 130s for the duration of the sessions when i was cruising at the top end of 140s earlier. hell my resting heart rate is dropping into the 40s at night during sleep now, so i am in damn good cardio shape. training today was the usual with no pump hardly at all. did get a little bit going in lats and biceps but it faded just as quick as it came on. small amount of joint pain but nothing crazy and i am not pushing that hard but still, they are dry as all hell. not to shabby day though. got a cardio/rest only day tomorrow, so hopefully i can get some good rest in.

done for the day. heart rate and breathing are spot on with the cardio but legs are heavy as shit and beat all to hell. still getting it done and knocked out but it is def draining me out right now. a few more hard days of pushing and i should be able to either cut it back or pull it all together. which will be a happy day. i did do a 400g carb up on weds and it was gone before i even trained. my body just burned completely through it like nothing and still no pump hardly at all. strength and endurance are still there but pump and energy are still in the shitter. all in all a successful day in the books with nothing really crazy going on.

done for the day. clen went back in today but didnt really impact cardio any more than it already is. even better breathing but legs still feel like logs and sweating like a mad man. the way this block of training was set up was to start the week off hard and taper down by the end of the week to try to off set some fatigue and get a little better recovery. so today wasnt to awful bad but i did pull out all carbs for the day. not that i have had any carbs left in my to burn for fuel. went from no pump to absolutely no pump at all whatsoever. weighing in at a super low 212 right now but pretty well bone peeled and drying out slowly. should be a pretty good look. now just the finishing touches with cardio depleting all the way out and filling back in again to polish it off. it may or may not back fire on me but i am going to do a little experiment with drol over the next few days to see if i can sneak in a little more hardness and fullness.

done for the day. show is complete and cracked the top 10 again and way better than last year. so not a win but a win nonetheless for conditioning and package. took off 2 days kind of but was back in doing light cardio and moving blood around over the weekend. put on a ton of water weight even though i did everything i possibly could to stop it from happening. drying out and then rehydrating gets me every single show and it sucks ass and takes forever to get off. back to the grind and starting back over. i may have a free meal ed for the week possibly or i may not it depends on how i feel.
went pretty hard today on the rp programming and i will prob pay for it. the pump was stupid painful but strength was good. didnt feel to bad at all but i have a feeling i will be crippled. cool thing now is i am not on a time line, i only have to train and do cardio 4 days a week and i can rest and recover. no stress at all which is great because my kid is about to roll into football and his senior year. so i will be running around like a mad man and sitting in brutal heat. good day in the books for sure.

done for the day. i called it, i am sore as hell but not completely wrecked. other than starving like marvin and being lethargic as all hell everything is running and firing pretty damn smoothly. have been having a little bit of normal food once or twice a day for this week just to relax finally and recover as well as not piss the wife off anymore. she always gets frustrated when i go right back in full bore immediately after a show. so i did chicken tacos on monday and turkey spagetti as a meal on tuesday. so i am still weighing and measuring my foods just doing some things i normally wouldnt eat. pumps and strength are insane and i cant wait to get back going wide open without risking getting hurt. another good day in the books.

done for the day. another good solid day in training. everything is firing and feeling pretty damn good with no crazy issues right now other than holding a tad bit of water still. i am still a little tired lethargic and ran down but that's completely from grinding my body into the ground for over 20 weeks. getting solid sleep in again now and a nap as well. actually getting probably a little over 8 hours of sleep per day. so no real bad complaints at all.
