Carb Backloading?

[Grape Ape]

Actually I don't care for pizza that much. I just have access to large ammounts of it 6 days a week, and its a recommendation of the book. I don't want to give up the little Debbie/Tasty Cake treats. I'm going to atleast see how I favor over the next three weeks.

if you are a hard gainer then it might not matter much, I couldn't do it

^^^ this if you're a hard gainer you'll need those extra carbs and fats to help put on the size

Let's say I was 6ft 135lbs naturally(no eating disorder) when I started training.

How much do you weigh now? I was also pretty skinny when I started I was 6'3 180 about 5 years ago I've been hovering at 230 for a while now

Heaviest was about 183lbs 15% BF, now about 170ish 10%. I don't weigh myself though. Weight is too psychological.

That's still good man some big gains. Yeah very true I was determined to see what I could get to I got to 245 in my prime but could not stand the amount of food it required, idk how these people walk around 260+ my height and I love food too

First pic is day one for me, and the second is last October. 175ish lbs if I had to guess.

This March/April will be five years for me and I hope to hit 190lbs. I expect to gain a quick 10lbs coming off the cut I did. I'm all primed for it.


And yeah, I couldn't imagine the calories it takes to support that kind of weight. My problem last fall/winter was not being able to get my calories up to 4000. I would have been much heavier. I won't make the same mistake though.

Awesome work man! You can hit your goal for sure, just keep up your hard work. Huge difference already, congrats!

Thanks man. Def a learning experience, and it seems I only get better with time.
