My Cut Journal!

[Syddles]

Hey hardgaingirl. Lookin' good. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Your diet looks pretty good, but I'm not sure about the apple on a cut.

What brand is the low-carb bread? Is it any good?

Good cardio workout. any chance you'll give me some details on that ab workout?? I'm always looking for ideas.
The only suggestion I've got for you is, consider making your HIIT cycles closer together 30sec to 1 min tops. Then alternate with the wider cycles to shock.

Thanks Syd! The apple was last week, before I officially started...

The bread is by Health Life. Here's the nutrition breakdown:

1 slice:
35 calories
0g fat
8g carbs
2g protein

Made out of whole wheat flour, water, soy and oat fiber, etc.

It's pretty good! I hope It's okay for a cut!

Thanks IK! usually for HIIT I alternate for 1 min. cycles... I was just doing something different today... I guess today was kind of my shock!

^^^I'll look for that bread. Thanks. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think it's okay for a cut... I wouldn't have it at your 6pm meal, though. Better to have a serving of green leafy veggies instead.

I had an idea about HIIT. I thought I'd run it by you.
cycle denotes high to low intensity.
(30sec cycle 20%,100%= 30sec@ 20%, 30sec@ 100%

15sec cycle 20%, 100%
30sec cycle 20%, 80%
45sec cycle 15%, 75%
1 min cycle 10%, 65%
and pyramid back down from there and back up as high as you can go. (kinda like a riot bomb)

OR
(all at 15%, 90%
5 x 10sec cycle
4 X 20sec cycle
3 X 30sec cycle
2 x 45sec cycle
1 X 10sec of all you got
repeat till you want to die.

What do you think?
I'm trying to apply ascending sets and the pyramid set (even psycho sets) into a HIIT routine.

These sound pretty cool, but some of the 10 and 15 sec. cycles might be hard to do b/c treadmills take so long to get to the different speeds sometimes... you know what i'm saying? Like if you were to go from 6.5 to 9.5, it usually takes about 10-15 seconds just to get the speed up to 9.5
