shanejer said: So you don't carb backload ...... It's carb backloading to me. :-) Anyway, that sort of carb 'balancing' works well for me and some others. Regardless of definition, it's an option to consider. | |||

| Hi Smiffy, Is there still room in this comp? Cheers James | |||

| I see and often use carb backloading in a more simple way: - Limit carbs in the morning, eating an abundance of protein and fats. - Introduce carbs later, either around mid-morning or midday on training days (whichever is after training) or just whenever later on if I don't train. - Eat an abundance of carbs and very few fats later in the day and in the evening. For me, mixing carbs and fats is more of an issue. Lean burger with cheese, bacon and cheese omelette, steak and eggs - fine. Weetabix, milk and honey, whey and oats, fruit, chicken and oats - fine. All the tasty stuff - pizza, peanut butter and cheese sarnies, roast potatoes in beef dripping with pulled pork - bad. | |||

| » Deadlift advice (Go to post) | 17-12-2012 @ 18:55 | ||
| I've often come to notice the following: Those that start fast with a rounded upper back get it off the floor ok but struggle to lock out as they then have to shrug the thing. Those who keep their shoulder blades retracted from the start have it easy above the knee needing only to stand up but struggle off the floor as they have to dip lower at the core/legs and have less chance for grab and pull speed. So I can only imagine that a possibility for the former is to work on keeping the scapula retracted from the start as well as working on power shrugs from knee height and high pulls to build trap strength, as well as rack deads to practice pulling with scapula back. Whereas the latter need to work on hamstring flexibility, speed from depth with lighter speed reps, explosive leg and pull strength with power cleans and snatches, and deep box squats with a pause to get that tension and drive. What do you reckon? By the way my deadlift is rubbish - due to injury in the past and so a lack of work on it - but I'm working on it now - and I fit into the latter group. Hard off the floor, if I get it to knees its a guaranteed up. | |||
