First off, the book says that on backloading nights you eat carbs until bed. How is this different from a carb nite? So... I came from a rollercoaster paleo/keto diet where I had issues w/consistency. Never had any lasting results because I would always eventually cheat and cheat big, then fall off for up to a week w/ridiculous gluttony. Anyway, I started carb nite about 3 months ago. 1700 calories on ULC days, stuff myself to the brim on Carb Nites... I lost about 17lbs. I'm still in the high teens BF% but I feel like I need some damn muscle on my body. I think I'd be content for the time being w/the way I looked if I had about 10 more pounds of muscle as long as my fat doesn't go up. Next question:If there isn't any calorie counting in CBL, how would one go about creating their diet for a slow recomp vs muscle gain w/no fat gain and vice versa? So as it stands currently, I'm doing a full body 3x5 routine w/some oly work. Tues/Thurs/Sat. Here's what I was thinking. Pull/Push/Legs on Thurs/Fri/Sat, three days in a row. Also I'd be working in 8-12 rep range which I've pretty much havent done in years so I think it'll benefit muscle gain more.. Back load Wed/Fri/Sat and then the same 1700cal ULC days for the rest of the week. And also since I REALLY need to add in some kinda conditioning so on Mondays and Tuesdays I could do some short HIIT stuff or some scaled back Crossfit stuff that I used to do. Nothing too crazy and nothing that's necessarily geared to burn fat but just something to keep my conditioning up because I feel like if I were to get into a fight or have to run for my life I'd be in deep shit. Here's the detailed workout plan if you're interested:Mon:conditioningTues:Oly - alternate Snatch and Clean n Jerk 5x3 or 7x1conditioningWed:RESTThursPull and BicepsFriday:Push and tricepsSaturday:Legs (including calves).thoughts?
