Great work here.. and congrats on those DL #'s!
On the Kre-Alkalyn, you're correct on workout days. On off days, I'd take one with a higher carb breakfast and another later in the day with another high carb meal.
Hope that helps...

Cheers Rob.
OK, day 27 of Feast.
207lbs. Feeling gooood. Struggling to keep cals at 70% on these off days, hunger strikes! Would be easy with an appetite suppressant, or my old ECA stack back! I'll continue how I'm going though, It's still a deficit.. anyway.
Workout GLP #8.
SQUATS! (No.3)
6 sets
75kg(165lbs)x10
99kg(217.8lbs)x8
109.5kg(240.9lbs)x6
117kg(257.4lbs)x4
127.5kg(280.5lbs)x4
135kg(297lbs)x4
Quite easy, last few reps as usual were tough, no back pains this week though, so was nice.
Went into Bicep/Tricep work, resistance band too. Was good.
Loved this workout, I was into it, had loads of energy, which is odd, I had eaten anything, I just had a protein shake for breakfast, then my periworkout drink through it.

Day 29 of Feast.
209lbs. No doubt some water weight, didn't drink enough last couple of days, plus I had a lot of salt this weekend, had some pastry, family event. Didn't go over cals tho.

Wasn't that great, last set was sort of like 1 rep, then rest 1 min, then 1 rep again, got all the reps, but my hands were screwed, callouses were agony today, didn't want to rip them lol.
Dumbbell Rows + Resistance band work.
Average day.

Easy, except that last set. Got the reps but quite tough. Other than that, no problems at all, felt energetic.
Decline/Incline Dumbbell Presses. Resistance band work.
But nooo, I just literally just remembered I forgot to do static bar holds, lmao. Dam, oh well.
Awesome workout. Loved it.

Aye I keep track with a tick off list of the whole GLP training by my weights so I don't mess up! Week #5 is next week for them. Ta though.
This weekend..long weekend.. clubbing, pubbing, tired as hell. (No alcohol/fizzy drinks tho). In the week my knee was feeling some strain, ligaments, I wasn't even sure I would be able to do today's workout, but I did, it felt OK today, I'm just unsure yet if I will set a new RM in a few weeks time, but things can change, trying to rest my knee as much as possible. Anyway..
These off days where I am supposed to be eating 1750 cals are destroying me, I think they have been more 2000 cals lately, endo ftmfl. Still losing weight though, I think the heat is making me ditch water weight.

135kg(297lbs)x2
145.5kg(320.1lbs)x2
Carefully watching that knee, did not go past parallel, that's what was causing issues I think. Still, I completed all sets/reps, felt the last set nicely which was good.
Bicep curls/Tricep kickbacks. Resistance band work. Arms felt decent after that.
I made my peri workout drink with ice for a change, was nicer..and having it stay cool through out was a nice change.
Enjoyable workout. No problems this week.. except today the heat.. aah I'm going to die, its like 29-30 degrees celsius. Yes that is hot for UK! We are not used to that!
I'm going on some antibiotics for spots again for a month, assuming this will not incur any consequences to anything.

Watch those antibiotics... they inhibit mRNA translation in the ecdy you may be using.
Better solution: Hydrogen Peroxide with a dab of d-limonene (constituent of orange/lemon peel)
Topical anti-septic/anti-biotic (check the label) with a smidgeon of transdermal carrier to make it through the skin.
WARNING: The FDA doesn't approve of this treatment, which should give you a rough idea of it's effectiveness..... VERY.
If it doesn't resolve let me know. I have other tricks up my sleeve (boy I wish I had these when I was younger).

OK thanks Rob. Not taking an ecdy currently. It would be just a 4 week course of antibiotics.
Spots are a bitch, don't have many but would prefer to not have any..
Just did a quick search on said products and found I can get hydrogen peroxide pretty easy, the d-limonene only in pill form or in a toothpaste..topical antiseptic such as TCP ointment, and the transdermal carrier search didn't get me far, kept running into threads about PH use and stuff.
So I could just get the Hydrogen Peroxide, I have heard of this before but just never used it. Cant say I have tried too many products for spots, I just went straight to the docs and he gave me some antibiotics for them, he did say I could have a roll on product but I opted for a pill because of convenience.
Cheers

Day 38 of Feast. 205lbs.
Had to be an early workout today, was busy (getting a tattoo) so wasn't as hyped up as usual.

Was OK I suppose, nothing amazing. Incline/Decline Dumbbell Presses. Resistance band work, again nothing spectacular, but good workout. Usually look forward to working out but I just couldn't wait for it to end, odd day.
Overall OK.
