Richard SchmittModeratorEating carbs=holding onto water. I'd be careful with the amount of carbs during a backload with SW. SW is perfect with CNS but not as great with CBL. Sodium could be an issue with holding on to water as well.

Lesli BortzParticipantI'll leave a guy up to the specifics on helping you because I'm stuck on wondering how anyone eats .5c ice cream….But that said if I had questions they would be whether or not the salsa has sugars and if you're having enough fat to balance out the eggs, why you don't take 5g fish oil, and seems to be a lot of powders from your workout to the end of the night.

Really? I thought shockwave was designed for CBL? I have never used shockwave with CBL, only Carb Nite.@OP your diet looks solid, just make sure you stay under 30 g of carbs when you are supposed to be ULC. I'm sure you are, but with some of your food choices, there is a chance you could go over from time to time.

I'm sorry I don't understand, I eat .5 cup of ice cream all the time. Are you referring to the fact it tastes good?
August 31, 2012 at 11:56 pm #77949
Lesli BortzParticipantLol yeah…. It's such a teeny amount of something so good! 😛Please go correct me if any of my thoughts are "wrong". Just added to post.
August 31, 2012 at 11:57 pm #77950
Richard SchmittModeratorIt is but not as effective as it being used for CNS. Heard it straight from Kiefer himself…I think it has to be modified a bit. Due to the ELECT movements to the main lifts. Not exactly sure.

Haha that makes me feel real masculine...a girl finds my ice cream portions teeny!

I personally think it sucks for CBL unless maybe you do very small backloads. I started getting softer when I did SW for two and a half weeks. Maybe my CBL was too much but the pairing was not good.

I finally had to scoop my portions into a measuring cup. I was easily eating 2-3 cups before... 😮

I always said Shockwave is rather difficult to do correctly. I know it is designed to take it easy on your CNS, but I never got a pump from it or got that good feeling I get from exercise. It just felt like I got done mowing the grass or some other mild physical labor.

Matthew C GrahamParticipantHonestly, I've been questioning Shockwave with backloading for me. I love the plan but I am not seeing the results I'd like to, and that just may be me not executing the plan properly. If shockwave isn't ideal, what training regimens would be good? I was doing DC training and that just didn't work for me in Keto.
September 1, 2012 at 12:15 am #77956
Richard SchmittModeratorYeah that's why I'm trying to get answers from Kiefer about it. I guess any high volume based training is good with it.

I personally like Heavy Duty for CBL. 5/3/1 is also a good plan.
