Notes
* Pushed myself really hard as last cardio session of the week, wanted to deplete any glycogen I may have stored from the carb intake through out the day.
* Looking very forward to tomorrow, start the morning off with a rough tension work out, not stopping until I feel flat and lose all motivation for training.
* Start carb loading post tension work out.. CAN'T WAIT!
 
Diet:
Today was carb loading day, yeeesh, definetely need to think it through better next time. Didn't realise the tag along fats and proteins could add up so quickly. Macronutrient ratio for today is
253.2p/855.4c/135.7f

Training: Tension work out
Squat: 4x10 70kgs
Dead lift: 4x10 60kgs
Calf Raise: 4x10 60kgs
Bench Press: 2x10 60kgs
Incline Press: 2x10 25kgs
Military press: 2x10 40kgs
Upright row: 2x10 40kgs
Horizontal pull up: 2x10
Dumbbell row: 2x10 25kgs
Bicep Curl: 2x10 10kgs
Dips: 2x10
Decline sit ups: 2x10 15kgs
Decline twist: 2x10 15kgs

Notes:
*I went way over my protein of 150, and way over my fat of 50, fortunetely a high percentage of that fat was poly and mono so i'm not kicking myself toooooo hard. Carbs are at the lower range of recommended amount. Will probably feel either really bloated and sluggish tomorrow or on top of the moon. Highly doubt that it will have any serious effects at all, if anything raise leptin more and give me a better work out tomorrow.
*Must watch peanut butter consumption... haha!
 
Diet:
Hit my macros at 160p/282c/60f by eating oats, whey, chicken, lamb, pita, wholegrain bread, pasta, tabuli and protein bars.

Training: Power (Heavy as possible for 1-5 reps)
Squat: 3x3 120kg
Deadlift: 3x3 120kg
Bench: 3x3 80kg
Incline press: 3x5 30kg per arm
Chin ups: 4x5 slow
Dumbell row: 3x5 30kg per arm
Military press: 3x5 50kgs
Shoulder shrugs: 3x5 100kgs
Weighted decline sit ups: 6x5 25kgs

*Notes
Didn't have anyone to spot me so I was unable to max out on bench.
Dumbells didn't go any heavier then 30kgs so I couldn't raise press.
Didn't include warm up sets in training section
 
Diet:
Macros worked out to be 83.5 91.3 31.7 prior to family dinner which had pork *removed all visible cuts of fat and skin* and roast vegetables, so I think im within my protein and carbohydrate limits but would have probably gone over fat threshold, not too worried though.

Training:
No training, rest day.
 
I read your long, well done on your progress...
You a small comment, made reference to being over on your fat macro on 17/9/2010 but sounded not too concerned because the fats were mono and poly. Round D+S we have discussed for a long time that saturated fats are not unhealthy as some suggest.
If you want to know more then check out our thread on the issue...

Good luck with UD 2.0! I did this earlier this year; 8 weeks on, 2 week break, 6 weeks on and did a complete recomp from my winter "fulking" (fat bulking). It definitely starts to wear on you but stick with it man.
 
Cheers bro! So it definetely works? Found today very hard, did way to much cardio and ate too little yesturday, had such low energy levels and an aching body. I think perhaps I can ease up on my cardio a bit, as I may be eating into my muscle more then necessary and I don't have any upcoming fights so I may just do that.

Notes
Yes I realise that protein bars aren't nutritious and wholesome and I definetely need to substitute them out for more veges and meats but they are convenient on the go when trying to juggle work, university and training. Plus they taste pretty good.

Finished off my work out with some BJJ rolling. Had alot of fun and got 3-4 tap outs after not having done BJJ consistently for a year and a half. I feel as though grappling is such a natural thing and once you learn it, it's hard to unlearn. Striking on the other hand doens't feel as natural but is a hell of alot more fun.

08:00AM: 200g steak with a fair bit of pumpkin and sweet potato
11:00AM: 200g chicken with a little bit of pumpkin
04:00PM: 100g tuna
08:00PM: protein bar (post kickboxing)

Training:
Kickboxing for an hour

Notes
*All measurements are done before cooking, so actual weight of steak was 140 cooked and 130 for chicken cooked. Realised I have been eating less then I should be and this became very evident last night when I woke up feeling crook with that sick feeling you get from being over hungry and a saw gut from having very low fibre.
