Feel fine, no real noticeable difference.

Should have seen his shake at the mini meet, it was quite amusing.
79.9kg this morning, so still losing weight. Interesting as I look the same as far as I can tell. Going to really ramp up the back loads tonight and next week.

Your stomach gets used to expanding - I'm pretty small and can easily put away silly amounts now. It's funny hearing people at work ask how I'm eating like a fatty but dropping fat noticably.
EDIT - it's a bit like a muscle, have to train it to handle bigger and bigger loads lol

Energy levels were good, but was struggling to get things to fire on deads. Everything felt slow.

Going to keep the diet the same this week, if I still struggle with heavier stuff then I'll be adding in back loading on all days

It'll get a break the week before the comp. Not sure when my last break was, so yea CNS could be feeling it.
I'll hit the CBL hard and continue training, it's likely just adjusting to the new diet.
Could well be, also no prep phase as your so close to comp, and I don't remember you being on any for of carb rotation diet before, so you could be spot on. I remember the last time you were overdue a Deload and I just remember you WO start to go like this.
Hopefully a mini bro down, some huge carbs, and cheesecake will help

LiE...You did the right move of not joining Kiss...
Today was hell, there was no squat racks free because every arse and their son was benching in it. Luckily I didn't have to wait long, but jesus...I didn't go until 8pm and the place was heaving.

It's the new year plebs. DW was rammed tonight as well.

Aye, think it's what I'll be doing at Pure, atleast for the first few weeks...I don't mind training at 8pm at all after dinner, just hate being over crowded with annoying people doing upright rows everywhere
Having done a proper back load last night and time to train tonight I thought I'd see how my performance was. Short story is, not quite on par with my usual strength. Seriously considering changing diet back to my tried and tested with some CBL stuff added in.

The main reason I decided to give CBL ago was the supposed strength benefits, which I'm finding elusive. I think this close to the comp it would be better for me to eat whatever way will give me the most strength.
