What are you aiming to do? You look pretty lean in your avatar, so please don’t say you are cutting;) I am interested this diet. Could you give us some details on it?

unfortunately for professor X, yes i am cutting. but luckily for him, it is not because i think im fat. trust me even as recently as february i was 240 lbs…but at probably 19% BF…now im closer to 9%. the goal is to get a six pack, basically just so that i have experience on dieting at this level of leaniality(made up haha) and so that i know i can…but i am cutting the diet off septemeber 1st…whichever comes first.
and assofar as the details of the diet…IMO it is a cyclical, integrated approach to training/nutrition that is THE best diet for LEAN people to get LEANER. note, it is not the best for people >15% BF, as other approaches will work as/better than it at that level(since leptin and other hormone levels are high at that high of a BF% anyways.)
Is that 12 sets or 12 reps. If thats 12 sets, how many reps in one set?
[/quote]
sorry for confusion
the sway i write my entires it goes
(SETS) X (REPS) X WEIGHT usually, although weight is sometimes first, but then it is obvious
and as far as the depletion training goes, no matter what reps i put, my sets always last at least 50-55 seconds, and usually 60-65. 12 is just easier to put down, and i know what it means.
If I recall correctly, the UD2.0 is the diet for people who are already at a low bodyfat percentage. So in that case, nice choice. (I wonder if it only applies to lean people because they may have developed more emotional maturity than the fatty who can’t put the twinkie down, or if it is because lean people who binge from the severity of the UD2.0 will not risk rising too far above their already lean set point.)
I believe this is a diet and workout routine designed by Lyle McDonald and based on the earlier work of the late Dan Duchaine. You deplete your muscles of all glycogen for a few days, you do a carb load, and then you do a strength training day. In theory you can burn fat and gain muscle, in the very least you burn fat while preserving muscle.
I tried an early version of this, but for me Monday-Thursday were simply too difficult to deal with. They are very low calorie and low carb, plus you’re doing the gym work, plus some cardio, and for me my brain just didn’t work right, I just felt too drained to perform well at work, enjoy life, etc.

could you give a brief introduction of the premise behind the UD2.0? I don’t think a lot of people really know the idea or theory behind it, so it’d be a good learning lesson if you could shout it out. Thanks
Basically, UD 2.0 is Lyle Mcdonald’s diet that allows one to get extremely lean while maintaining virtually all your muscle or maybe even gaining a bit.
To accomplish this, he has “depletion” workouts to deplete muscles of glycogen (accomplished through high reps and full body generally), a tension workout and a power workout. Cardio is optional but sometimes necessary (for women usually)
Different days have different macronutrient profiles. The depletion days generally are low carb. After the tension workout, there is a “carb-up” and the power day it can be either. (He leaves a few days for you to decided depending on your goals). He gives specific caloric guidelines (what not to go below) and also for the “carb-up”, how much and how often one should eat carbs.
All-in-all, it’s a totally integrated diet/workout plan and quite good for getting you to be extremely lean.
If you want to know more, I suggest you buy his book.
