Hi guys,
my turn to ask for a lil help with my refeed/skipload
I wanna take the chance to thank Ken for the incredible info
he put out on this board and on the DVD first, I got
great results following and applying his protocol,
and of course thank to everyone who will chime in here too.
A lil background since I'm new on the forum:
34yo, more than 10 years training,
I'm 154lbs, 5'9, BF 4/5%, I workout 6 days a week,
I do warrior diet, I'm a low carber, calorie intake
for the 6 days is 2400 (30gr of carbs max).
I do my refeed on Thursday, starting right after
workout, full body depletion workout.
The refeed is between two heavy workout days,
Wed is legs and Fri is back.
I've been doing 1 refeed a week for about 12 weeks now,
but started the skipload protocol only 3 weeks ago.
The question is pretty simple, actually is more a confirmation
since Skip already gave all the directions on how to adjust the refeed,
but better be safe than sorry
My eating window was 6 hours for my first skipload,
I stretched to 8 yesterday and the week before.
My first attempt had as result absolute no increase in body weight
the next morning.
The second time it went this way:
weight before refeed: 154lbs, weight after refeed: 162lbs, weight the next morning: 156lbs
At the end of the day I was back to baseline again.
By Wed (day before then next refeed) I was 150lbs
Yesterday I stuffed myself to oblivion (i have really hard time downing large amount of food),
I definitely eat more than last week, I swear 90% of my total cal intake was carb,
I cut everything in order to pack as many carbs as I could (and yet that last pancake won the battle and is still sitting on the counter lol),
but this morning I was even less than last week's "next morning" with my 155lbs.
My goal: I'm not after getting bigger/putting mass on, my goal is - at best - some lean gains.
I want to keep my BF as is but you know is not easy, when you're this low metabolism
slows down, calories go too low, hormones go berzerk etc.. hence the skipload.
The nice thing is that in the past 3 weeks my condition got better, I look drier and most important much much fuller, so, it works! no doubt
But I would like to tweak it to try to get some lean gains so here's (finally lol) the questions:
should I stretch the eating window? Going from 8 to 10 or 12 hours instead?
Problem is, I start the refeed (due to my schedule) around 6pm, so my 8 hours
end at 2am which is late already,
would be ok to add another meal the next morning? or would it be too far apart?
Sorry for the long a## post and thank you in advance!
