K-WaL’s BodyBlog

so, for the last month, i’ve made abs a priority.. I mean really working them.. 3-4 times a week, instead of the quick 1-2 times before a workout… I’ve noticed major strength increases, and my leg lifts are now done with a 4 pound ball instead of just body weight.  When I push around my fat, I feel a rock hard set of abs underneath.. but Im wondering at 12% body fat, should they all be showing already?  or do I need to get to around 8-10… im shooting for that BF %, but Im also hoping I dont get there and realize.. I needed to be working my abs even harder to make them bigger and more pronounced…

 Guess im kind of talking to myself, but if you have any clues on finding abs… give me some feedback.

so, I’ve always been a proponent of low carb dieting.. Carbs.. they were the enemy… till I reached my last rut.. I just didn’t have the energy I wanted in the gym, and was feeling like a I was making anything happen new at the gym.  For the last month I’ve added in 2 now critical parts of my new diet, and think they have made the difference.  In the morning, I wake to a large swig of gatorade followed by a fruit (half a grapefruit, or an orange)

preworkout, I’ve added an orange, and post workout I’ll drink half a gatorade right away.

I’m still loading the protein in, and have noticed that this 1-2 bottles of gatorade and 2-3 pieces of fruit a day, have not caused any weight gain.  If anything, Its making me feel as if I’m burning more calories per day, and I’ve increased my energy levels significantly.

so, I say.. go fast digesting carbs.. but keep them and the bulk of what you eat around workout time… save the fasting and calorie counting for other times..
