Haha thankyou mate, definitely the best success i've had dieting, losing weight and retaining strength, typically strength would fall off quickly and I'd panic or get depressed and just start eating again but I've learnt to accept a bit of a drop knowing I'll come back stronger, lighter and so much fitter/better looking for it.

Keto has and is making a legitimate improvement to my health and quality of life whilst still letting me do what I love. Couldn't ask for much more right now. Happy

Thats ace to hear. How is the breathing at night these days has it been helping that any?

Funny you mention that as I did a test the other night. Since it was diagnosed I havent slept a wink without the apap machine, used it religiously. Considering I'm now the lightest I've been in years I decided to try without it. Set an alarm for 45 minutes just incase I suffered badly and used the same app to record snoring/breathing that I did when I first realised I had a problem.

Amazingly it was 45 minutes of snoring, regular breathing but lots of snoring, there didn't appear to be a single dip on the graph where I stopped breathing which is f**king awesome.

However the fact I'm snoring like a train suggests there is still some form of obstruction even if it's minor in comparison so I'm continuing to use the apap simply as I'm used to it and it gives me a really deep relaxing nights sleep.

It's good knowing however that in a situation where I couldn't use it such as camping or sleeping in the back if my van that I'd still have a significantly better sleep than I would have 20kg ago. Fairly chuffed with that.

Fantastic news there. I snore really badly on my back but found when i started running it helped. My guess is that it was the using my throat and nose muscles to breathe deeper that helped there. Even for me at a little over 100kg though its enough extra weight to cause snoring. When I was down at 96kg it was a lot better.

End of Week 6

127.1kg / - 13.9 kg total ( Since xmas)

Only 0.7kg this week

Food volume has been up for sure so probably less of a deficit. Also found its taken most of the week to get back to keto, big refeed did plenty for my sanity but has held me back a bit.

Will drag this out for a couple more days and have a moderate 'performance refeed' on Monday after squatting perhaps with a cheeky double cheese or 2 thrown in.

Still... Making progress, Boom.

So time for a change of tactics..

Currently 126.5kg and just over 6 weeks of heavy dieting is starting to take it's toll. Last week or so strength has declined further and I'm starting to get niggles all over.

Plan is to run maintenance calories including backloading small amount of carbs after every workout in a bid to regain strength and some size without putting much weight on. I plan to do this for 6 weeks in and Ideally I would like the only weight I gain to be from water which will drop off easy enough when I go keto again.

So essentially I am going to try a 6 week maintenance / 6 week cut method utilise backloading during maintenance and ketosis during cutting.

Yes, I could continue with ket for another X weeks and reach a weight I'm happy with but I feel it will have a far greater detriment to strength and also run the risk of injury.

Volume wise the plan is to do a lot of submaximal rep work on maintenance with the occasional heavy session and leave most of the heavy work for the cutting phase when it is needed the most.

Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Two days of including carbs in my diet and I'm 3kg heavier loal.

By the time I start loading creatine the strength bloat will have well and truly started.

Really think a 180 bench may be possible in the next few weeks given how it's felt on keto. Perhaps even get to old squat numbers too before making the push to get down to 120kg

Lovely stuff.

Will you be tracking the carbs going in mate?

I like the concept of cut, stabilize for a time period and focus on strength, then potentially cut again.

The hardest part is when you reintroduce the crabs and the scale shoots up like a test injection to the shaft. It can play tricks on the mind, but I always try to give myself a rebound bracket to float between post cut. We know that the removal of carbs will then see a sudden drop too.

One just needs to stay calm, semi erect and have a plan. You my good man, are on a roll.

I doubt I'll be tracking carbs mate, just staying fairly consistent with the amount and sort that I'm eating, unfortunately I think water retention from carbs, sodium and creatine etc will mask any potential weight gain anyway for the first couple of weeks. Like you say, it'll drop off rapid again when I go keto, last time been a perfect example, dropped 6kg in the first 2 days!!

Think it will do me some good to feel strong at a lighter weight. In terms of weight loss it's very much a 2 steps forward one step back approach but ultimately weight isn't the goal here it's a combination of strength retention and increased leanness in which case the cut/stabilise approach as you called it stands to work better for me I think.

Ok so added some structure to my training so I will be logging once again on here, now working on continuing to lean out with training focussed on more hypertrophy based stuff.

Squat
Warmup sets then 205x5 / 210x5 / 220x5

followed by 3 sets of 150x5 with 3 second negative and 2 second pause just above parallel (light but evil)



T-Bar Row

180 x 11, 15 breaths then sets of 4 with 15 breaths in between until failure, CV gave up well before strength, need to increase weight next time.

Walking lunges

3 sets of 12 (24 lunges) with 20kg bar, first time doing these so kept additional weight light.

EDIT: As I'm starting to upload to Youtube again, here's a 210kg x 11 keto powered AMRAP from the other day:

Thanks mate, on my way slowly.

Bench Day

Comp bench 135x5 / 140x5 / 145x5

3 sets of 5 x 100kg 3 second eccentric with pause and 2 second pause in weak spot

Close grip 110x11 then bicep went a bit funky so left these.

Wide grip 110x11, 40 second rest then 110x4 - shoulders/biceps/elbows poverty as today, couldn't do any more.

Rhomboid rows and some face pulls
