“Exercising on and empty stomach produces GH at a higher level – Good”Good man, they did a study on rats and the less they ate the higher the GH they had.

Whey and Udos …………………….Got you!!!!!!

Supplements, I myself would add some Pro-biotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus), and some digestive enzymes to assimilate all that protein or just the digestive enzyme Protease, this will help you digest that protein without bloat or gas and give you more bang for your buck with that.
Another supplement I like for staying out of catabolism is OKG Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate
This is used for burn patients so they dont go catabolic when trying to recouperate.

I like the way you think Tom.......
I thank you for explaining what you are doing to some degree with detail.

Lipid profile's kindof take a dive during a cycle and anto-oxidants are always a very good selection.
Maybe adding some Niacin to this mix would help a bit but it does tend to make you flush and that totally sucks.
There is a niacin that has a wax coating that works well.

I am impressed with what you are doing and you knowledge too.

I always have an open ear to the competitors.

Good man, thanks a bunch for the info and good luck bro (im from the States)

However first thing in the morning Cortisol levels are highest so I take in a small amount of OJ to stem that. I also use some BCAAs and Glutamine to offset catabolic actions of training while empty.

Also the OJ provides a small amount of carbs for fat burning at this cannot take place in the absence of Carbohydrate.

Carb cycling

I tend to do 6 days depleting and 1 day reloading, this ties in with my working week better. However there does come a point in the week usually tuesday or wednesday when I feel more depleted than usual so I have an extra 100g of oats after training.

Whey and Udos

I drink the whey protein and then have some Udos about 10 mins later. I also have a Banana if I feel I need it. In the last few weeks I am not doing a gruelling heavy workout so glycogen replenishment is not a major issue, As long as I have a small amount of OJ before my PWO shake this will do the trick and keep me in a fat burning mode. The result I am aiming for is maximum fat recruitment for energy so taking in a large carb source after my evening workout is not beneficial.

Amount of carbs in diet

I don't need a lot of carbs when i'm off season so I usually start from 300g a day and work down over the course of the diet. I follow the pattern of
6.30 Train
8 am Carb and Protein meal
10.30 Protein meal
1pm Carb and Protein meal
3pm Protein meal
5pm Train
7pm Carb and Protein PWO
9pm Protein
11pm Protein

As the diet progresses I cut down the carbs in meal 3 until 4 weeks out I stop the carbs in that meal altogether.

The PWO carbs also decrease until I just get down to 1/4 pint OJ in the last 4 weeks.

As far as supps go I don't take anything except Creatine Ethyl Ester, Glutamine and Protein shakes in the off season.

In the diet phase I take the following

BCAAs
Peptide Bonded Aminos
Peptide Bonded Glutamine
Whey
ProPeptide
Creatine Ethyl Ester - great for drying you out and keeping you full.
Protein Puddings - yummy

Vitamin wise I take the following

Cranberry - for kidney function
Milk Thistle - for liver cleansing
Saw Palmetto - for Prostate function
Vit C,E
Multivit
Chromium
Garlic - Fat Burning, Cholesterol lowering, Immune support

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the education! ;)
