Well, after a summer of getting as strong as legally possible, I am looking to lean out a little bit, and at the same time hold on to every last bit of muscle and strength that I have gained over the last four months. I decided to give the Anabolic Diet a shot after re-reading Jen Heath’s Article from MWA, and talking to her at length about it. I am modifying it a little bit, but mostly sticking to the guidelines that have been outlined in the article.

Now, lets talk about what I am doing for the Anabolic Diet.

• 30g of NET CARBS each day: Now with net carbs, keep in mind we are not counting fiber carbs.
• 2800 Calories each day: I calculated this with bodyweight * 15. Again this is within the guidelines of the article.
• BCAAs Pre Workout: Black Star Labs ICE pre workout (6 scoops), with 5g creatine, and 3g Beta-Alanine.
• 100% Whey Post workout (34g Protein): Also I throw in 5g creatine.
• 5g Creatine with 6-10g BCAAs 3 times per day in between meals.
• Greens Plus: I want to make sure I can still get in some of the nutrients that I am missing out from lowering my vegetable intake.
• Spike Pre Workout: As my glycogen stores deplete, I am going to need the extra kick in the ass from the Spike to keep my workouts intense.

Next week I will post my altered version of Jen’s workout, because I just mentally need to lift heavy. I think it is a guy thing…
