Calories in vs calories out is all that matters to me. Also I am carb sensitive soo not a bad thing to have less carbs than fat

2x a day workout 3 1 set
2 of 2

pullups 3
push ups 15
situps 12
squats 40

joints started hurting so it cut this session short.. did less reps on pushups and squats than I could have. looks like I need to make sure to get my fishoil in..

"more fat than carbs? on a cut?

Do have any research to show that doing differently would be better?

Not trying to be combative , but I am not down with the anti dietary fat crowd

well its been a couple times in a row.. so I think that I can draw the conclusion that doing this 2x a day doesn't work.. its like my body is still beaten down from the first workout. So I will only be doing 1 of this workout.. perhaps I could do something else less strenuous for a second workout.. Any ideas rob? I was trying to increase the intensity of the workouts throughout the 2 months of this cut.

A. To my mind(s), there is no point in performing at anything less than 100%. Much better to adjust workout training frequency. Here, you're going to want to insert an extra rest day, meaning if you're on a 1on/1off now... goto a 1on/2off, etc..

Doing so would be a far more prudent strategy, allowing you to do it justice at each session, while giving you the TIME necessary... to allow the body to super-compensate and grow larger/stronger.

HANK! - There may be merit on a cut, incorporating more fats vs. carbs. Clearly, ketogenic diets work uber-well FOR THOSE THAT OXIDIZE FATS WELL.

These folk are typicall meso-endomorphs or some mix, albeit there are exceptions given the wide range of individual somatypes to be found.

Nevertheless, experiment/re-load and refine. SOLID work, Street - dreams!!!
