CKD vs TKD "Which Produces Better Results"

I think the problem with that in my head is that its much harder to guess "how much over daily maintenance can I go and just replenish those stores and not store extra as fat" when the high carb day is also a high cal day and no exercise. If I do a carbup on an off day on a ckd, I drop to .7g protein/lb and cut fats significantly for the day, so my total calories are about the same as the other days on the cut.

I guess this is true if you have no carb containing meals after your workout, but otherwise it isn't. even if you work out at 6pm, you still could take in additional carbs after workout to replenish whatever that workout used.


I guess you grew up as an ecto having a hard time gaining weight. I am a solid endo, so I can put on weight easily, but have a harder time getting it off. So quite a different strategy for me

I easily gain and lose weight, I am not pure meso though, more meso/endo I'd say, I have a "softer" look IMO.

As far as the carb-up's, I think I'll pull dinoiii (namepimp) in here to help ease your mind, he's real good at having some sort of source or study to back things up.

Cannot answer this question because it is individualized and will vary for different people. It also depends on workout structure. This is a VERY complex question actually and it won't be answered in a check one answer-style question.

Its kind of an art-form; development of an adequate plan that is. Or maybe that's how I look at it. Nonetheless, results will come from many things and suggesting what works for you will work for everyone is just not true.
