i haven't read bodyopus, but from mcdonald says in a sentence or less: bodyopus was low to zero carbs 5 days, with two days of massive carbups (around 12-15 grams of carbs per pound of lbm) and the training was very similar to german volume training.

the biggest differences that mcdonald changed is one day of massive carbup and one of normal carbup and the training goes (even though my weights don't show it) two days of super light and fast, one day of "medium" and one day of heavy training.  once i get used to the weights more i'll get closer to this.
i don't know yet about clen; i read both sides, some say it blows ephedrine out of the water, some say it doesn't compare; guess on how you respond to it and what quality you get.  i think i'll stick with ephedrine while it works, 12 weeks or so then i'll look into it.

winstrol's a pretty mild anabolic, taking it mostly to preserve any muscle i have while dieting, plus it's a semi mild dose.

pumpster:  for cardio, i won't do any for the first 4 weeks until the diet's spot on and i get my weights in order.  then i'll start by adding most likely hiit on off training days for 4 weeks and then add on 2 more moderate days on monday/tuesday (30min-1hr, depending on need).

what do you think of my setup?

I'm doing a kinda modified version of bodyopus but I'm going off of memory, I read it about 2 years ago.  Lots of carbs on the weekends and very low during the week.  I've lost about 9lbs in 3 weeks...I'm drinking 2 gallons of water a day as well and doing more cardio than ever.  I do use ephedrine and caffine right now but I don't like it very much, makes me light headed and I feel a little weak when I first take it.

Good luck and thanks for the answers.

Nice log, u seem to absorb the info very well! I encourage you to stick to it, lyle mcdonald definitely knows what he's talking about- quite unlike the "Adonis" princinples that seem to be very much unfounded in science.

well i failed cuz i honestly didn't care.
since my goals aren't really to be a massive roid monkey, so something like your physique would be more to my liking.  we'll see how this goes.  it's only been a week.

Good, ignore "adonis" and any negativity and go for it. This is the perfect time of the year, with 3 months to get in shape for summer, if you stay focused. 8) I started a plan to accomplish similar goals, with about the same time frame in mind. In other words, there's not much time left to cut corners.

As far as training, you definitely have room for cardio, it's not an ardous weight workout. In other words there's no excuse to wait 4 weeks to start cardio, if you're serious about getting in shape.

I'm old school on cardio, 5-6 days a week. Weight days you can do it before, after or at a separate time of day. You could do cardio less often for longer duration, as long as the weekly time about the same. I suspect daily cardio's slightly more effective but either way. I think it's better to start on it now though-the sooner you get used to cardio the faster it gets easier and creates benefits and fat loss.

As far as weights:

-Why do you have legs in the middle of upper bod work? Put the legs both thighs and calves together, and do them after upper body.

-IMO if you want to get in shape, do squats virtually all workouts, regular or hack. Just a lot better for the body overall than leg press, and a better conditioner.

-Rest time between sets a minute's ok, as is 30 seconds though it's severe. A minute max. between sets still works very well, unless you prefer the shorter rests. If you're doing cardio, it's not necessary to go with very short rests like this unless preferred.

-Triceps: also use lying behind the head extensions sometimes, to hit different areas. On pushdowns, use a close grip with elbows flared, more of a compound, more effective version.

well dude you read my mind.  i do plan on doing all of those eventually as i'm still getting used to the weights/moving them up & down.

the one thing i'm gonna listen to you on starting monday is cardio.  since i'm done in about 40 minutes and still have a little bit of energy left, i'm gonna start doing cardio.  so i'll start that two weeks earlier.
so starting monday im' gonna do moderate cardio on weight days (stepper or some crap for about 30 minutes to start with) then a type of hiit i got started on that i liked.  kind of like the bfl version, with upping intensity levels every minute.  i'll probably do that for 20 minutes and start at something super slow and then go up in intensity.

Turd,

Do cardio daily, less of it on weights days, and as you said go with lower intensity and longer time at first, slowly increasing the intensity over the next few weeks. If you try to go to intense on cardio before getting used to it, it's easy to give up on doing it.

On weight days, it also works to do some before and after the workout, both to make it easier and to use it as a good warmup for lifting.

looks like i'm getting stronger (adjusting) on some, getting weaker on other parts.  that's to be expected cuz i'm low carbing it.  not really concerned about it, as long as i'm getting stronger on saturdays (heavy, carbed up days).

looks like no cardio this week; i'm still trying to figure out when/how to do it, but next monday for sure it's starting.

The cardio should quickly become a daily thing if the idea's to seriously try to lose weight. Max. 1-2 days a week without cardio.

The least gruelling way to build up cardio IMO is to start with very low intensity for a long period of cardio 30-40 minutes/day minimum, then slowly increase the intensity over coming weeks while keeping the time the same. Easier IMO than trying to go high intensity cardio for short bursts while out of shape. Just my opinion, others may find the opposite.

oh brother, i bet you're the type of guy..

yeah, i hear you.  doesn't seem to matter for me either way, so on lifting days i'm gonna start with 20 minutes of moderate (4x/week) and then i'll do 2 days of 20 minutes of hiit type.  i'm still gonna take sundays off, i need a physical and mental break.  i'll go up 10 minutes on moderate days every week til i hit an hour and i'm gonna work to 2.5 miles on the treadmill on non lifting days, then i'll figure out where to go from there (all starting monday).
