    Tomorrow is day 10 of my prep phase and from then on I'll be doing CBL SA.  Right now I'm 165 lbs. with around 9-10% bf.  If you've read my log you know I was 5 lbs. lighter and feeling tighter and more defined a couple of weeks ago when that bf% was estimated, but for now I'm still just going to go with that.  I've cut out the dairy for about the past 8 days, and the only plant fat might have come from a few (literally, like 4 or 5) cashews I've eaten in the past week.  My diet during prep has looked like this:8am- Wake up, 1-2 cups black coffee10-11am- 100g 80/20 ground beef, 2 strips streaky bacon, 3-4 whole eggs cooked in bacon grease and/or coconut oil.  With the eggs I just scramble in a handful of spinach, 1 chopped celery stick and a bit of fresh chilli pepper.  Around 800kcal, 50-60g protein and fat, around 6g carbs.5pm- Coffee with coconut oil8-10pm- Same meal as before, but bigger.  Around 1200kcal, 80-90g protein and fat, maybe 6g carbs.After prep I'm going to re-introduce some dairy, and maybe throw in some avocado.  I've also just received the rest of my supps today so I'll probably be adding some whey iso and fish oil with each meal.Based on the charts in the book, my baseline carbs are around (correct me if I'm wrong) 930g after my weight loss of 10 lbs during prep.  I'd still like to get leaner, but I'm about burned out on cutting for the moment.  I want to get strong and build some lean mass.  I'll aim for about 70-80g of protein and fat during the ULC portion of the day.  I'll pretty much stick with what I've done during prep, but with the whey, fish oil and creatine thrown in throughout the day.I'll be using the PHAT routine, which will be a 5 day split, and due to my schedule, it will be a combination of AM and PM workouts.  Depending on the workout being AM or PM, I may train fasted, or I'll have coffee with coconut oil or just do the pre-workout formula with the whey iso.  Please feel free to make suggestions.  I'm not quite sure about how to work in the backloads for each day, hence the ? marks.Monday: Upper Body Power @ 7:30PM (Big Backload)Tuesday: Lower Body Power @ 5:00PM (Big Backload)Wednesday: RestThursday: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy @ 7:30PM (Big-ish Backload)Friday: Lower Body Hypertrophy @10AM (Big Backload?)Saturday: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy @10:00AM (Clean Backload?)Sunday: RestI'd much rather swap one of the AM workouts and do it on Wednesday at my optimal time, 7:30PM, which would be much more convenient, but I don't want to overdo it.  I'll also do a couple of 20-30 minute HIIT sessions at some point during the week.  Let me know what you think!

    I'm not quite sure about how to work in the backloads for each day, hence the ? marks.Monday: Upper Body Power @ 7:30PM (Big Backload)Tuesday: Lower Body Power @ 5:00PM (Big Backload)Wednesday: RestThursday: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy @ 7:30PM (Big-ish Backload)Friday: Lower Body Hypertrophy @10AM (Big Backload?)Saturday: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy @10:00AM (Clean Backload?)Sunday: RestI'd much rather swap one of the AM workouts and do it on Wednesday at my optimal time, 7:30PM, which would be much more convenient, but I don't want to overdo it.  I'll also do a couple of 20-30 minute HIIT sessions at some point during the week.  Let me know what you think!

    I think the Hypertrophy days would benefit more from the bigger backloads. More reps/volume would use more glycogen than strength work. So I would structure like this Monday: Lower Body Hypertrophy  @ 7:30PM (Big Backload)Tuesday: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy @ 5:00PM (Big Backload)Wednesday: RestThursday: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy @ 7:30PM (Big Backload)Friday:  Lower Body Power @10AM (Smaller/Cleaner Backload)[/color]Saturday: Upper Body Power @10:00AM (Smaller/Cleaner Backload)[/color]Sunday: RestThis way your hypertrophy work is going to benefit more from Optimal Training time and the larger Carb Loads. Strength work is still going to be effective and wont require as much carbs, in theory.

    Seems to me like 5 days a week and then a “couple” HIIT sessions per week is a bit much. Can you really get cortisol levels to cooperate when you are putting your body under continual stress that many times a week? The CBL protocol has almost as much to do with controlling cortisol as it does with manipulating ketosis, at least for SA.RB
