I don't think I'm going to be able to stick to this diet. I always feel like shit and my gym partner told me that since I've been on it, my strength has gone down.

That should be expected and once your fat adapted things will get better.
I'm 15 days depleted/no carbs and I get threw my days without a hitch.

With that said do what feels right because nothing is a one size fits all deal.

Was supposed to take an off day after shoulders yesterday but i went and did 6 sets for Bi's and 6 for Bi's(very light weight) and i also tried to max out on bench..for some reason.
But i started at 225(after a long warmup) hit it 4 times easily
Went to 265 and hit it once easily
Tried 285 and failed. My shoulders were to tired.
i will try 285 on chest day and i will get it 8-)
Also i will get 405 on Deads after squats tomorrow(without straps)

Weight-181
I feel bulkier but I also feel alot stronger
Tomorrow I am going to keep my carbs under 100g,(50 in the morning and 50 pre workout)

What's the reason for all your carbs pre workout??
Are you depleted. Also if you goal is fatloss you be better off timing your carbs differently.
Having carbs in the am spikes insulin and stops the fat burn, and carbs pre the body will just use those for fuel and not your own BF.
Now 50g intra and 50g post would be better for fatloss and performance.

You push some pretty decent weight for a guy your size. keep tearing it up, bud.

My theory behind that was the 50 g in the morning would fuel me through the day and the 50g pre would fuel me through the workout. But what you said makes a lot more sense lol. How can I get carbs intra workout?

Thank you! I think I'm going to take everyone's advice and hold off on a cycle until I'm a little older

Just start your workout and either after your warm up or a few working sets start sipping on a shake with whatever amount of carbs you want.

And try it your way too because I'm in no way a diet guru and everyone is different so its all about trial and error.
