He does a CKD. Very common among bodybuilders. There are good
reasons to
do that....for certain people.
Perhaps the CKD (and steriods, likely) is affecting his judgement?
Can't comment on that....his judgement is just that, his...

wasn't a bully in 3rd grade. Actually, he was bullied back then, so
now he's trying to make up for it by being the bully.
Well, in fairness, his comments weren't directed to folks doing a
CKD.
How does he know what we're doing?
Don't ask me. But some people do have denial issues. Others don't.
Quoted message said:I do a version of CKD when in
training, although I don't find that a CKD is entirely necessary. I
tend more to the TKD instead, although I also don't think that
ketosis is necessary. And, I'm only working out 4 days a week now,
so I really don't need either of these.
One can also just up the carb level to a place where exercise can be
maintained. But some also find it easy to be minimal during the week (ie,
diet hard) and relax on the weekends (eat more normally). Both approaches
can work but only if executed faithfully. Some people tend to have
personalities for being hard core, others don't. I sort of like being hard
core, though.

Let's face it, JC is a buttwipe. There's no reason to call people
names, and basically every thread by him denigrates into that sooner
or later. If he feels that we're all too fat and he's God's gift to
bodybuilders, let him hang out at MFW for good.
I'm not sure if he claims to be a bodybuilder...

Everything in life is a trade off. Because I'm writing this note,
I'm not doing something else. If I eat a tortilla, then I can't
(assuming same calorie level) eat green beans (or whatever). The
keys to low carb are to ignore minor intransgressions, figure out
what your trigger foods are and avoid them as much as possible, eat
more (preferably raw) vegetables, and become creative during
cooking. For those who exercise, find a balance between carb intake
and exercise so that you're still low carb but also have enough
energy
for workouts.
By the way, it heated up to freezing this weekend, and I took 20
minutes off my ride time, which I think was due to not having a mask
over my mouth.
I'm impressed that you ride at all, honestly. I decided to just do
more gym
work - both cardio and lifting.
However, hopefully, I'll be able to get some riding in soon.
The hardest part about biking in winter is buying the damn fancy
clothes. They're expensive (especially GoreTex). I'm sure you'll get
your riding in soon. The bad news from my perspective is that my
biceps tendinitis (supposedly the prognosis, though I doubt this --
which I got trying to rehabilitate my partially torn rototor cuff
muscle, sadly) isn't any better. When I did incline bench presses
this past workout, I felt the exercise entirely in my right shoulder.
That's too bad, as I'm a much better bodybuilder than a bike rider.
I'm genetically gifted -- in terms of gaining muscle mass -- for
bodybuilding, but I suck at biking.
Hmm...I bike because I enjoy it...so who cares about sucking at it? Yeah,
I'd like to be faster...so I want to lose some more partly because of
that...if you can get down to SC this summer, we can do a charity ride
together. I think it would be cool for the asdlc folks to ride together.
I've been having some problems with my right knee lately. It seems to have
started when doing the leg press in the gym...with really light weight, too.
As an example, I was at a concert late night and it just started
hurting...but once I stand up it quits. I was hurting again at dinner. By
the time I got into bed it quit. It hasn't been a problem all day, today.
But I don't really know what the deal is with it. I've been trying to ice it
down once it starts up. It doesn't really seem to be the knee itself,
though, but around there muscles and things connect into the knee. I'm
going to see a doctor about it soon, too.
You should be happy to be genetically gifted for being a bodybuilder. I'd
love to be able to claim that! Maybe you should go for 10% bf like JC
suggests! 🙂
