As for the diet, can i just increase the protein portions to get me to 300g? I will make some changes to the rest of the diet tonight once i know what TDEE to use.

I have heard form a friend way back that he buys egg white in bulk, this would be a easy/cheaper way of upping protein? Where does one source this?

Yeah mate, seems like 1.555 is the way to go or you could even get away with 1.6 but 1.725 seemed a bit too high imo. In terms of eating more protein, just upped portions. Two cans of tuna, 170g cooked weight chicken breast, and a 1.5 scoops of biogen whey protein = 50g of protein.

I would love to know where I could buy egg whites in bulk, I know they are sold in the US as egg beaters but I havent heard of them being sold in RSA.

Great will up portions slowly not to shock the system, i will try find out about the eggs for us!

lol we should carpool then. Well, I did my countyfair run last week but will definately pop around to brackenfell on monday. Just wish there was a place where I could tuna (or anoy other fish for that matter) on the cheap. Use to be able to get 5kg's of hake for 200 bucks which aint too bad.

How can it be that cheap, R120 for 5l? I will go check it out sometime this week at let you guys know

Tuna seems to have gone up a lot lately, I'm paying between R10-R12 a tin. Seems like just the other day it was in the R7 range.

Hey Bud, getting back to the var, I see you do mountain biking 3-4 times a week. Good luck with that while running var. In my experience the var is going to put a sudden halt on your cycling. I could not even do proper cardio on the treadmill without cramping up. Might have been my diet, but I have read multiple articles relating to the var "pump"...LOL

I am getting random muscle spasms all the time , just getting into car makes my glute muscles spasm and lock up.

Country fair? Can one get cheaper chicken? Where about?

Actually though of the cramp i read about, both calfs locked up in my race today and cost me a bit of time, managed to get an overall 3rd for the day! Will something like USN cramp block help at all?

I am not sure if the cramp block will work, my best advice would be to give it a try. I have not used the cramp block before, so can't comment and that. Good luck bud.

I can confirm this as well. Strength gains in the first week, with visual changes from week 3 onwards. Currently taking 50mg per day. It seems to be having the same visual effects as winny. No sides so far besides the aching calves, but training through it.

Increasing cardio and reducing calories further seemed to have had a good effect, with no muscle loss.

So i reworked TDEE using 1.555 and added 10% which gets me to 2580.35 cals. This looks a bit better and easier to achieve! Will try work on diet tonight and new training routine. I have done Back so far but need to finish the other muscle groups.

For more info on eggs, see new topic i started in diet section.

Tweaked diet

you need to add carbs to your 19h30 meal

and thats alot of eggs, try throwing in some chicken/tuna/steak

I haven't read your whole thread so I'm just going to comment on what I see.

Too many eggs.. change 10 o clock to some chicken or mince with a proper carb source like sweet potato.

12:30 you can change to a shake and some nuts like almonds, keep your 14:45 meal. But I would make a separate pre-workout meal with some oats and raisins or a banana.

Post workout, I have no idea why the wheatbix is cruising in there. You will need carbs post workout but not wheatbix. Have some dextrose with your whey.

19:30 needs to be brought closer to your post work out, add some white rice or potato in there for your post workout carb intake. Yes its night time, yes you still eat carbs post work out. Some may differ.

9:30-10:30: either swap out the egg whites for whey with peanut butter, or just have your eggs whole and maybe with some pbutter before bed if you want to have some with only whites.

Will edit diet again, today in a week i start my cycle!

Okay, i worked on diet a bit dont have a pic yet.

Decided i couldnt wait anymore to start my cycle, so i started it today!

Took some before pics... i need to add a bit to my chest i know...

The level of that last photo!
