Yesterdays leg workout was pretty burl to say the least, got in press, quat, deads, seated hams and another new one a friend showed us (have no clue the name). Needless to say, my legs are FEELING it today but the great thing was how strong I was throughout the whole leg workout! Gotta love me some P-slin.
On a bit of a side note. What is a good rule of thumb for cutting when it comes to cycling macros to avoid metabolic adaptation? Right now I am normally 50/30/20 P/F/C and then switch to 40/40/20 P/C/F occasionally but if there is logic behind what to do when, please share.

Honestly you have to start to notice patterns in your reactions to food. Physiological differences however subtle they may be have a direct affect on how each individual processes certain types of food. The real bottom line is that calories in must be less than calories out. When deciding nutrient macros there are a few baselines that are followed but they are so diverse that they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. For example: performance based athletes need more carbs than say a purely aesthetics and muscle mass only person such a s a bodybuilder or someone just doing it to look great with thier shirt off.
Myself I honestly don't see a reason to go above 40% on carbs (carb refeed days excluded), however that is just me. FOr a marathon runner that is probably not the case. For someone who wants to have enough fats to keep testosterone higher naturally I need 30% of my calories to come from fat at a minimum. That is me though. Will it work for you definitely, as the botton line would still be there to lose calories in must be less than calories out. Is it what works best for you maybe not.
I have found with the addition of Anabolic pump and or PSlin I am able to get the best of both worlds. I get to have 25-50 grams of cars 2-3 times a day 25 and get the amount of glycogen in my muscle as if I had slammed a 100gram carb drink because I don't have to eat for an insulin spike to get that benefit with Anabolic Pump. Shortly there after the AP pushes all of those carbs into my muscle and bam I am basically almost back to a state of keto until my next carb containing meal.
My recomendation would be to keep it around a 50p-25f-25c or 50p-30f-20c all the time and do a major carb refeed every 3-4 days as the last meal of your day. This is a meal on top of your other 6 meals for the day. take in 150-200 grams of complex carbs and 20-30 grams of fats, start with 1.5 cups broccoli or asparagus and a hand full of almonds then graduate to 1/2 to 1 cup of oats and a large sweet potato and a banana. Don't drink water for an hour before or after other than sips if you need it to get food down. If you drink surrounding the influx of carbs you will hold a lot of water the next day or so. I also recommend keeping the sodium levels reasonble in this meal.
This worked for me very well. That way you can get in a rhythm with the rest of your diet and it becomes second nature to follow. Then every third night the carbs are like a treat. Not the first time though. You will be excited until about halfway through the meal when you realize you are full and have half a big bowl of oat meal a large sweet potato and banana left to go. Youcan add cinnamon and honey to the sweet potato with some splenda and mix it up like a mashed potatoe, it tates like candied yams!!!!!!!! Well i guess in reality it is just lower sugar content.
