PLEASURE ENHANCING THREAD FOR THE KETO MASOCHIST

[YoungBlood]

I am affraid I won't be in shape in time for doing the show may 30th unfortunately ! but fuck I am still getting shredded just for the hell of it

Didn't you also say that you're doing 2-3 HOURS of cardio a day somewhere? You don't think that with doing that much you will be in shape? That is what I'd call getting too far out of shape offseason!

I totally agree with Aceto & McJeff on the below 8% body fat deal. Some people start off doing 3hrs of cardio....where are you supposed to go from there? Do 4hrs of cardio and eat 1k calories? Shit I think even a concentration camp guy would look better onstage if that's the case.

I am doing 2 hours of low intensity cardio a day.

I started fucking fat, at about 18% bf 
yeah that was stupid.

anyway, I dieted for 2 months before adding the cardio

not I am not fat, a few lbs away from contest shape but it seems like the fat loss stopped

I just started doing protein only days today, we will see how it goes

the worst that can happen is that I won't do the show, I don't really care I was just dieting for the beach in the first place

Ketosis is the most catabolic condition you can be in while dieting
it really is a horrible way to improve body composition
which is why all ketosis guys come in flat even though they are on steroids and that helps them keep the muscle

I am not flat at all, I have exactly the same fullness as when I diet on carbs.

didn't lose any muscle either

"A lot's changed in the last 15 years or so in terms of pre contest prep for bodybuilding shows. One of the new mainstays is cardio. The mantra is; cardio burns fat so it should rip you up. But does it? My experience is that there is a happy medium to be followed and it's truly a fine line. Don't do enough and you wont be in shape (possibly...there's always the right diet which can get you there with almost no cardio) Do too much and your muscles lose that "hard" look  and lack  the "pop" and eye catching roundness.

I recently worked with Troy Alves who won the Europa pro show and he did far less cardio then earlier in the year where he was 11th in the Ironman. How did he do it? He did cardio on the right days, at the right intensity and allowed a better diet to strip away the body fat. The end result; his muscles had that "pop" that gave him an edge over the competition.

I am a believer in less food and less cardio. Its sort of the opposite of conventional thinking; more cardio and more food. ... He (Troy) was eating about 2000 calories a day."

i totally agree with you..

and how much cardio troy was doing??.. i belive the perfect thing is 3 days a week, 30 minutes each.. more than that you will be taking from the energy you need to lift and will have to increase your food so will be useless!!..

Bro, how could you possibly spend 2 hrs a day doing low-intensity cardio?  You're wasting time.  I think that keto diet is too restrictive of living a somewhat normal lifestyle with all of the cardio and complete direct carb limitations. 

Do you think you'll use it again after this contest?  I tried it for 3 weeks and had to ditch it - I have to use my brain for a living and couldn't think while I was on it.  "Ketosis" never really felt the way Palumbo said it would.

I think I will use it again, but next time around I'll start the diet at 9-10% bf instead of 18%, so I will be able to get much leaner.

I feel great mentally on that diet, I have less mood swings than I have off-season !

I second that. I diet ketogenically and I am by no means FLAT. People who never used that diet often assume you will get flat. It's an old wives tale at best. On keto, I cook everything in soy sauce and season everything with salty seasonings. That keeps me full. The only thing I do not like about keto is the need for t3 drugs when you plateau.

 
 - Block!

the real question is what was his drug stack.  diet/cardio/too much/too little...hahahahaha what a bunch of bullshit.   hey chris just tell us what his drug stack was and then lets talk about what he was eating.  fucking knob

I disagree

when getting ready for a show, diet is more important
drugs only make you hold onto the muscle

know, knowing his off-season stack would be interesting
