O'Ryan's Run with CBL

[burlyman30]

Very cool, Ryan. My wife and I are both "alphas", so there is no working with her in business or training with her in the gym or coaching her on a diet. We've tried it. She can't take instruction from me and it drives me nuts when she quits eating well or training, so I just try to support ANY positive thing she does and leave it at that. lol. That being said, I can't imagine working out with my wife as a partner. She'd spend so much time wanting to talk endlessly about unrelated subjects that I'd never get anything done and couldn't concentrate on the workout. Haha. You are a blessed man, my friend.

On a hack squat machine. You load up the plates just as you would a leg press machine. 8*45=360. But this machine is at a more upright angle than other machines I've used. But yeah man, she was killing it. On that machine, I can load up 11 plates on each side and do 3 sets of 8.

We've had our crappy workouts together, Mondays especially. She just likes looking around, I hate that. She's squatting with 185 on her back and looks at someone as they walk by... I'm like, PAY ATTENTION! She also killed a few of my workouts too... So it's a give and take. She's not as dedicated as me, but she does put the work in. She really only works out with my when we do legs. SO the rest of the week we train on our own. I really hate training with other people, I love being by myself... But I like helping her unlock her potential.

Like the other day when I broke my all time Personal best on deads... She told me she saw me the entire time I was working my way up... She told me she didn't want to break my concentration, so she let me finish before we started hitting it together. She knows that I need to focus, and that I HATE talking in the gym. She gets to the gym before I do, so she'll do 20 mins of HIIT while I get dressed and warmed up.

It's been working for sure.

The ultimate reason behind taking the step in trying CBL is because of you Scope. You had me interested in CNS, but I didn't wanna make the jump... But when I heard the good things you had to say about CBL, I was sold. I can't believe the wife bought in though. She's never EVER gone through with a diet. So when I told her we'd be eating ice cream, cookies, donuts, pancakes, and all sorts of other amazing goodies at night, she was sold.I know she will struggle a little in the beginning, but I know things will go great. Even if things don't go that good, at least I can say I gave it a run. Life is all about experience and learning things along the way.

Scope, what do you do if you want to have a couple drinks on the weekend? What can you drink?

Yeah I remember you asking me about CNS a while ago, and I'm glad I was some help.

Your plan looks solid with you having 300-500g BLs and your wife having 100-150g BLs. One thing I've seen is that females seems do better on cleaner carb sources over the junk like pizza, ice cream, and stuff like that. Not saying she can't or won't do good but if things don't go smooth switch out the dirty stuff for clean carbs.

When your want to drink keep it pure alcohol.
One drink I've been wanting to try even thou I don't drink anymore/often is a NorCal Margarita
Ingredients
2 shots (4 oz) of clear alcohol – Rum/Tequila
juice of one lime
club soda
ice
This drink is made to not spike insulin because the lime juice blunts the alcohols effects on blood sugar and the soda water gets you buzzed quicker.

Ok gents, next Monday the wife and I are going to go on the Carb Back loading diet. I will log my experiences here. I'm very interested to see how much weight I can put on naturally (while dropping BF) and how this will effect my strength. I was going to start this week but I didn't have any where enough dirty carbs in my house. I will be using gluten free pancakes, red potatoes, donuts (maybe), gluten free cereal, gluten free pasta, and other gluten free carbs for my Carb Backloads.

All your words of wisdom are welcomed. I'll post pics next week.

Tune in!

I knew I was going to get that from someone here! LOL, nah, she's not as comfortable with her body as I am. You've seen my FB pics.

Thought about asking. Decided to let someone else. Knew I could count on you.



When SS gets bigger, we need a Miss SwoleSource thread.

Great deal buddy. That drink is right up our alley! What would you consider cleaner carbs? Red Potatoes, gluten free pancakes, white rice? What else? I'll be eating a good amount of fruit as well to help with the digestion of all these carbs. I got a huge order from the farm yesterday, now I need to go to the grocery store to get my carbs, fats, veggies, and fruits.

I'll be doing 6 whole eggs in the am cooked in organic butter, I'll have a tbsp of coconut oil, a chicken breast or a hamburger patty, and half an avocado. What else would you recommend for bfast? Lunches will be 1 whole avocado, 1 ckn breast, and 1 ground beef patty, some spinach or broccoli and some nuts.

How does this sound? Should I add anything else to the lunches?
