re: Vince Gironda's Steak and Eggs diet, a journey into strict keto

I have been on keto for years. I mix in corn tortillas for carbs when I need it. My problem on the diet you are describing would be getting 3000 cals. My appetite is destroyed when I do strict keto.

So tonight I had to do day 1 of ripped to shreds(RTS) due to getting in a bad wreck last night. Will skip day 2 and do day 3 tomorrow to get back on schedule. Next week day 1 will be on Sunday which is my normal schedule.

RTS uses a lot of dependent reverse pyramid training, which means you don't go up in weight until the first set reaches the top of the rep range. tonights workout was

Db incline- 2 sets of 4-6
105x4, 102.5x6

Barbell standing press-set of 6-8, set of 8-12
145x8
125x12

Weighted chins-3 sets
Bw+15-x 8 & 8
Bw x 8

Failure on all sets

Db curl using bicep bomber- 2 sets
30 x 10 & 10

I am dead tired. Pretty sure I am going into ketosis. No way I can do the burpees. Will do tomorrow to get back on track.

Diet was on track as listed except for tonight gonna just eat 12 eggs instead of steak and eggs.

Ended at
2405 calories

Fat-66%
Protein-31%
Carbs-3%

So a successful day.

Well that b should be pretty well known lol. I am doing the cutting version. I will post his "size producing" diets tomorrow. But hope you like eggs, heavy cream and ginger ale

bad wreck last night.

Sorry to hear that. Hope everyone is doing well.

Not so subtle lol

Didn't mean it as a brag, I can only get that cause I lease it to my company but 700 a month is the limit. If the new ones are too much I will be screwed or have to carry any extra myself. I would rather keep it like I have it where my note is well under that and I pocket the extra.

Weight-209 Waist at naval-35.5" last I checked.

i was at around 190 with a 34" waist. I didnt do as strick as this guy, but im at a 29" waist now and have been able to keep the weight off for over year now.

So tonight I did

Squats-
300x3
275-6
225x10

Lost a little strength on top set. Prolly cause it's been 3 weeks since squatting

Also did
2sets of tricep extensions gironda style
Knee raises
Burpee progression

Moved deads until tomorrow as I cut my finger and wanted to give it another day to heal.

Little worried though left knee was hurting after I finished burpees, hurting pretty bad. Think I might have twisted it a little. Guess I will find out tomorrow.

Maybe his workouts are anaerobic.

with that huge salad I have everyday, i have had zero problems. Been going everyday, sometimes twice
