Am I crazy?

[warlock]

Right now I am trying to loose/keep my weight.

To keep as much muscle while in caloric deficit I am pushing heavy (around 5 reps rarely above 8 reps) in pretty much all my lifts and keeping my work outs at 45-60 min:bch.

When I finish my CNS has been abused I am shaking, the other day I ended up having a sugar low and felt like crying for no reason, yesterday after doing legs I just couldn't move fast even if I wanted.

That's the way I train: 10/10 or go home!

I rarely feel sore, I always feel tired afterward.

Am I doing something wrong?

how can one lose or keep weight at the same time?

Youre either in a calorie deficit or you're not.

Your either in a calorie deficit or you're not.

That's not the subject of the tread.

[O-Train]

I don't really understand the question.

Fair enough. I dont think you're crazy, I just think you're not eating enough for your style / intensity of lifting.

[ubcpower]

how many carbs/day? and how are they dispersed in your diet

[Talo]

I think it is a common thing to not get sore after this type of training. with Lower reps your not seeing that lactic acid build up as you would with higher reps.

As for being tired , you could be over training .

Agreed.

I am not crazy, just stupid.

I re-read what I posted and saw that I couldn't be more vague!

My question was about training balls to wall every work out.

If I am the only one that does it or not?

Now that I saw your answers I have realized that my question is not just vague but irrelevant as well.

There must be a continuum that takes in consideration: goals, training, diet and recovery.

Congruency in this continuum is what matters If I can do 50 clapping hands push ups wearing boxing gloves during full moon while singing Metallica's Nothing Else matters is just irrelevant.

Sorry for the stupid question, someone erase this tread please I feel embarrassed.

I got the drift of your post witht he 5-6 rep range as that is balls to walls training to me. Not suited for dieting in my opinion. Increase the reps as it`s easier on the cns. For specific muslce groups you feel are fast twitch, train in the 6-8 rep range, but for 1 exercise out of say 3.

When dieting it's important to keep training hard and I usually prefer lower reps because they are less affected by lower muscle glycogen, assuming the deficit is coming mainly from less carbs.

That's not stupid but stressing your CNS is pretty much always stupid for a bodybuilder... sorry bro ;)

The CNS won't make you grow, it gives you nothing to grind a rep for 10seconds trying to finish it up and burn out your CNS. That's my 2 cents anyway. Overtraining a muscle is hard but overtraining your CNS is pretty easy.

I still go pretty heavy on cuts, but I aim for 7-10 reps on every set. When going for size I aim 3-6, you can't push it as much as you would with all that food intake when you're on a calorie deficit, that's bad news bears.

[gettinbigger]

go all out every time man but post workout nutrition is not something to skimp on even when you are trying to lean up. Give your body a good dose of protein and simple carbs right after your workout and you won't feel like crying for no reason on leg days anymore.

[GYMBRAT]

I train stupid hard yr in yr out no matter during cutting or bulking, and mainly because I love to train this way
