precision female Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 ya I was shocked with how much I was eating and still losing weight...I did 5 weeks around 2400 cal and lost 5% BF which was way too fast. I was ready for the show 2 months early. I then bulked for a month - which ended up being more like maintaining because I just can't eat enough - and when I went back to cutting I was losing on 2700 cal. I was doing two 40 minute workouts each day and then another 30 minutes HIIT cardio on top of that. 9 days on and one day rest. Which wasn't enough rest but it was a conscious decision to over train and push the limits. I was working out a lot more than most people do which explains part of the extra calories. My metabolism went out of control. 2 trips to emergency - doctor said my adrenaline was no longer able to shut off. I had hypic jerks all night every night and woke up drenched in sweat a lot. My body was a furnace! These days I bulk at 3500 cal. Its more than I did before, but I am bigger now than I ever was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
