Damn brother 15 reps to failure hitting the same muscle group every other day....how you feeling when you hit that muscle group the next time?
Ive done leg workouts to complete failure and damn near had to crawl out the gym soreness didnt kick in till the second day couldnt imagine training em on that day lol. Your a beast brother:headbang:

I'm following along, you're a great inspiration.

You're recovery is much better than mine, I'm not recovered and still sore 48 hours later.

I'm fighting the BP fight myself and taking the low dose Cialis daily which does help. Almost everything besides Cialis makes me feel like garbage. Another thing that will drop BP (probably too much) I found is rauwolfia serpentina. Be careful if you try it and use a tiny, I mean tiny amount. Stuff works fast and works well but again it can take you too low and then you're just tired.

Sorry about the chest cold, I had a nasty virus and was out of the gym the entire month of January coughing. Its a set back and it sucks but it's temporary

oh and great looking pups!

 

[Concreteguy]

Kevin, thanks for the kind words friend.

The Cialis is wonderful. I really had no idea how it would effect BP. I thought if anything it would raise it.lol

You may want to look at the amino regiment I'm on? I'm sure that has a huge effect on the recovery PLUS the slin.

I must have missed it ... what is your amino regimine??

I'v currently using Citruline pre-workout which does help but even in a single workout my recovery is poor, I need rest between sets.

LANTUS and KETO

Well I was wondering if I could do this because of the unique quality of Lantus basil insulin being so forgiving in regards to going hypo.

What am I talking about? Guess what guys, I'm running 50iu a day of Lantus while on a full blown keto diet with ZERO sides of any kind. I feel GREAT. When I started the keto I was flat and very tired. I was also losing weight I didn't need to be losing. Now the weight and strength is rolling back in. I'm doing nothing more than a very high protein version of a keto diet. I suspected that the onset of Lantus is so slow and gradual that it would give my body time to convert fats to carbs. I was correct. I'm just guessing, but I honestly can't come close to imagining a better way to fall into prep or bulk for that matter. As surprised as I was, not much surprises me any more.

So to recap this: I'm currently on a keto diet and enjoying the benefits of 50iu of Lantus insulin every morning. I'm also doing 3iu of hgh three times a day. And don't kid yourself, this will accelerate fat loss exponentially
I'll be posting pics this weekend in my log.

That is some good feedback! I agree keto and slin will shred you up. I was doing something like this taking a couple iu of R fasted to accelerate fat loss. Of course with the shorter half life the acceleration is short lived and anymore would cause hypoglycemia. Good to hear lantus can be used this way safely. Your insulin sensitivity is probably remaining in good standing too because you are not eating carbs. Have you tested fasted bg, before and after lantus etc? Interested to see if slin sensitivity can remain high.

 

[Concreteguy]

No I haven't. Probably something I should do at some point.

See, you get it. This insulin is making my body convert proeins over to carbs at an accelerated pace. That in conjunction with my body needing energy from the keto diet makes me a furnace. I've really upped the fats to keep this in check until I know where I'm at with it.

Another thing I've noticed is there is an endless supply of energy at the end of the work out. Because I'm not exhausting the sugar reserves in my body there is nothing to run out of. I'm walking out of the gym with the same energy as when I walked in. Don't get me wrong, my muscles are fucked up, but I'm not exhausted.

I plan to keep titrating the Lantus up and find my base line.

 

[Concreteguy]

Hey I did legs and back tonight.

5x close grip rows
5x wide grip cable rows
7x straight arm cable /rope pull downs
4x rack deads

6x standing front hack squats
4x seated leg extensions
6x laying leg curls
4x standing calf raises

All sets are in the 12 to 15 range ending with total (last rep completed) Failure.

awesome...are you changing anything on carb-up days? Also, how well does this protocol work for quality gains on keto compared to non-keto?

 

[Concreteguy]

Dtel450, Welcome to AnaSci Brother! I'm so happy being on the keto I haven't taken a carb day yet. When I started this I was loosing weight way to fast. My muscles were flat and I had no veins of any kind witch isn't the norm for me. No energy and head aches that were killing me. As my body switched into the keto mod the complete reverse took place on literally every negative side effect I was having.
When I started hitting the Lantus my scale weight went up4 lbs in three days as my muscles all started to have a fullness and pop I haven't had in a long time. My veins are road maps again. lol, I could drop dead tomorrow, but I feel great today brother!

BTW: I want to point out that by staying keto my insulin sensitivity "should" stay quit high witch makes everything work better. Everything.

 

[bill2]

How much protein and far are you estimate getting daily?
Very interesting your Lantau experiment !

Bill2, it's good to see you posting bro. Lets get that post count up and make you some friends while were at it.

I'm at approximately 400 grams protein a day and I have no idea how much fat. I'm eating peanut butter by the spoon fulls and frying my stakes in a 1/2 stick of butter. Pretty much doing shit I would NEVER normally do. Handfulls of cashews. Tons of cheese sticks. Way. way more fat than normal.

 

[Concreteguy]

Fucking killed it in the gym tonight!

4x flat bench
4x cable flies
4x standing lat bar shugs
4x standing bumbell flies
4x rope cable lifts
4x seated pilitary presses
5x tricep extentions laying on a bench
5x standing reverse curls

Home for teriaci chicken and a salad! BAM!

Not sue if I could eat like that.
Love my rice
Love my Ezekiel bread
My apples with peanut butter
Can you have ice cream or donuts?

 

[Concreteguy]

lol, literally everything^^^ up there is OFF the menu, except peanut butter "by it's self". Forget about all carbs to get on board the KETO train.

 

[Concreteguy]

Hey, I'm wearing shorts in the pics because with the cailis I'm now doing there seams to be some wardrobe malfunctions at times.

As you can see I'm clean and dry as a bone at 208lbs. Going to play this out and see if I'm can start packing it back on now. BTW: I have never competed over the weight of 198lbs. I think it's safe to say you can gain muscle at almost any age if it's done correctly.

Thanks concrete guy !

I see you don't do keto to loose some pounds but as an experiment more or less to see what result will bring to your body?

Bill, that's exactly why I'm doing this. If no one ever tries we can only speculate. Can you hear all the naysayers barking about the "insanity" of doing Lantus and being full on Keto? What a joke. I could explain it 20 times and each a different way and not one word of it would hit home. lol, Years ago I was preaching about taking orals and doing fast acting insulin about an hour later. Seams like that caught on.......go figure. I'm pretty sure no one has walked these grounds yet. When this turns into the staple manor to prep, again time will diminish the story behind how it came to be. BTW: Can you say "unemployed all prep coaches"?..........ROFLMAO

 

[squatster]

How many days pr week are you doing your lantus
