    DEXA Results - Glycogen?

    Hey all, Been a while since i posted here. But i went in for a DEXA today, about 4 weeks after my previous one. Results showed; 1.2kg of fat dropped, but the worst part is... apparently i lost about the same in LBM. Surely this can't be right? I haven't noticed any real difference, i am...

    Am i over training?

    I am also thinking partial reason for fatigue is i don't have any / much carbs post workout be it lifting days or cardio days, can this be this case? The only carbs i will get post workout in dinner would be from veggies. My shake pwo is just protein, and shortly after a glass of juice with...

    Am i over training?

    For now, i have no idea how to lower the stress levels, but it is not continuous. Just things going on in life at the moment that i can't help

    Am i over training?

    I don't actually have a goal weight, i go more so by appearance, but want to be bigger than what i am now that is for sure. I only know my RMR, but using a formula worked out using a 1.5 - 1.6 multiplier 2600 - 2800 calories. (found it here...

    Am i over training?

    Will do, won't ever stop pumping the weights haha, what should i do diet wise, keep it as is and don't reduce / change what and how i am eating or modify (reduce intake slightly due to the lower activity?)

    Am i over training?

    Ok, so i think i will cut all cardio, and only have it on the weekends, does that sound ok? But i will not be able to just stop walking my dog on the days required, would that affect as well? By cutting 2 days of cardio should i also reduce my daily caloric intake slightly ?

    Am i over training?

    Which ones, HIIT on tuesday or the longer steady pace cardio on saturday, mind you on saturdays i will probably be ok as i can sleep in providing nothing wakes me up during the night. If it does i just sleep till later.

    Am i over training?

    Only problem i can foresee with changing to the morning shake is, i would most likely be hungry, i currently snack on peanuts if i am peckish, but i don't want to go to the extent of eating way over in calories and putting on fat after spending a decent amount of time cutting

    Am i over training?

    The oats and protein will require a blender right? Or would oatmass be the same thing ?

    Am i over training?

    It has taken me a while to get my cardio to where it is, i really don't want to lose that, and i am only doing the the extra days as it was recommended to burn 1800 per week, i guess i could drop the HIIT on the Tuesday, but would feel like i am getting fat if i am not doing any cardio at all

    Am i over training?

    Sugar / carbs effect me big time before bed! i would never sleep then haha. I have tried ZMA, Gaba, valerian, i still feel kind of drowsy the next day so i found it worse.

    Generally allocate 250g to carbs, 170 or so to protein and fat 120g Split is generally something like 25/35/40 These are approximate numbers as i don't go by a set macro every day, but generally shoot for these numbers. Today these calories are coming from Breakfast ; Cappucino, 2 slices of...
