I am taking creatine now but still I was <92 2 weeks ago. ^^^ that food looks boss
hah ya. I must say, i agree. ;f
The fact that i'm taking photos of these meals, is also making me want to try new ideas out.. which is pretty fun.
one really good self cooked meal a day, is basically my motto right now.

getting close to breaking into the 160s ... so that's something. decided to go play pickup and it was a lot better than thursday. it's coming back but im still playing like complete shit so nothing to celebrate either. my shots were falling a lot better though.
trying to force myself to lift but my heart isnt in it and it's cold as fuck
Thoughts on ketones? I am coming across more and more guys going full keto but there seems to be a way to get some benefits without going low/no carb.

Put the price aside for the sake of this discussion. Also, put aside that Paul Carter looks to be repped by the manufacturer. Just for the moment anyway.
Have been thinking about something like the anabolic diet for a while and this may provide somewhat of a nice balance. It's also not all about performance though as I've been reading a lot on the overall health benefits involved.
Keto or just low carb is generally good but hard to maintain unless you have an overly obsessive personality. I am doing a somewhat low carb even though low carb for me is like 50-100 grams(it feels like its impossible to get under 50 lol) but after a period of 3-4 days of strict my energy and performance goes to hell even with high protein and high fat macros. You'd be better off just going with carb cycling tbh, I'm only trying to go low carb to lose the weight quickly which isn't exactly healthy.
You're doing tri training yeah? How do you find low carb fitting in with that? Do you intend to revert back once you're at a certain weight or hope to become fat adapted. I know a few triathletes who are low/no carb and love it. Took them a while to get through the fog though.
I like the idea of something like the anabolic diet though. Low carb (<50g) with 1 or 2 high carb days per week. Don't know how this would affect performance on the track or the basketball court which is the main issue. I'm pretty carb tolerant though and and don't know how I would go largely giving them up.
Yeah I'm in the process of training for one, wont be until next year though, I'd rather get to around 220. I'm just focusing on running until my fitness tests are over. As far as how I feel now, not too bad, if I feel exhausted one day then i just increase my calories a bit and I'm usually good. If more carbs help your performance and you're not a slave to carbs then I'd play around with how many you can have without gaining weight.

How do you find those full court run ups?
I liked them. First time ever performing runups from that far. I tried to build speed for the entire runup, but sometimes I had to re-gather myself.
I also didn't attempt to build maximum speed (but speed was decent) or do a max effort jump, so it was probably alot easier because of that. But even so, I can feel it breaking a "mental barrier" in a sense. I haven't had the confidence to even attempt runups from that far out, so simply feeling confident about attempting it was interesting.QuoteI want to try these soon as it mimics what I usually experience in games when I have attempted dunks.
ya makes sense. i'd start with half court first though.. if you still want to do full court, could run slow until half court, then build the runup from there.. but i wouldn't try accelerating from full court right from the getgo.. i imagine you'd feel lots of "inhibition" if you try to runup from too far out.

Yes it's that mental barrier/inhibition that I get. Like if I go faster I'll be out of control.
I imagine half court would be enough though. When I get on a fast break and I build speed and go into a layup relaxed I get plenty of height. It's pushing for that extra few inches that's the problem.
not thinking is important.. those amazing in-game jumps that happen out of nowhere ... not thinking.
wish i could turn off my conscious temporarily and just explode. maybe it would be less enjoyable, but, that's what video cameras are for (playing it back ..
