** Baseline's Transformation - Everything Included **

[baseline_9]

Wow, I must say, from the new set of pics your stove looks so much cleaner! Great Job, keep it up, dude!(oh, and I guess nice progress on the body too)

LOL

Trust me the top is no cleaner, u just cant see from there

This morning I noticed that my obleques seem to be coming in and the fat in that are apears to be thining out

If i am right i will be happy

Maybe i have now gotten to a point where my body is forced to use the bulk reserves around my waist,,, IDK really, just hopefull

Lets see what the next 4 weeks brings for me

I now have 7 weeks left to be in the best shape of my life, so im just over half way

I can see it getting tougher but ive just gotta stick to it now and see this thing out

My goal is still to get to single digit bodyfat levels

I will whip the calipers out soon and see where i am at

Any gueses guys and gals?

[tbody66]

I'd say 16%

[baseline_9]

I'd say 16%

Personaly id say less

Looking in the mirror at least i think im less

[Damienm05]

15% imo

Edit: It's all very localized at this point around the lower abdomen which bothers some guys but IMO, that's better because with clothes on, in your day to day life, you look much better and frankly, to the untrained eye, you're already "ripped"

[baseline_9]

Weight

174.2

Exactly 1 lb in a week

Need to loose more weight quicker

Hopefully the added cardio and reduced carbs will sort that out for me by next week

I would like 173.7 next week

What's your end goal as far as weight? I know you are going for a look but what weight do you think you will have to be to get there?

IDK Twist

All I know i that i want to loose about 1.5 lbs of weight each week and hopefully then i can hang onto LBM and chip away at the fat

[baseline_9]

So my cheat meal this week was pretty epic. I cooked up a feast and it was damm good

Bread with parma ham, garlic and parmasan cheese

Lamb shanks with butter cream and cheese mash potato

Vanilla cheesecake with ice cream

All topped off with a blackberry smoothie made with milk cream and vanilla syrup


I did feel kind of bad after eating that much LOL


Next week the steak is coming out of the fridge, i cnt w8 to try it

I will probably make a bread and butter pudding for dessert

Just doing a cardio session i missed on wednesday night


Looking forward to getting in the gym 2moro and demolishing legs


Only 4 weeks left now, im at 100% now, the cardio and training will not change

Any modifications now will be diet related

If i have to i will drop some carbs in my intra workout drink next i think

ATM im doing 40g of dextrose intra workout, this may drop to 20 soon

The pre workout meal is currently at 80g of carbs coming from white basmati rice. This may also be reduced gradually over the next 4 weeks


Cardio is at;

6x60 mins LIC Fasted AM
3x45 mins stairmaster PWO
1x45 mins LIC evening ( non training day )


I was considering throwing in a week of keto but i think at this point that could be a mistake. After this competition is over i may re-consider keto for a few weeks and maybe do a CKD with a reload on a saturday


All my food is prepped for the next 4 days (chicken and brocoli) so i just need to get this cardio done and then i can slam my last 2 meals down a sleep

Up at 05.55 2moro for my cardio...

Cant w8

Thanks for ur support brotha

[tbody66]

Base, I do admire you tons, you are nailing this and you don't need our encouragement to do so. I know you are committed to being who you want to be and having the body you want as well. I will still be here throughout the journey and encourage you when you need it and kick you when you need that.

Cheers man, its nice to hear

Im happy to have so many people following this log, it really dose drive me harder

Believe it or not all u guys that follow me in this log encourage me to do this for myself. Its kind of like I need to proove to myself and others the level of dedication that i have to this sport...

The thing is other than on this board I only have neutral support, people kind of put up with my lifestyle rather than encourage me to do well, on this boars it is quite the oposite

I dont care what anyone says, you are in this sport to proove somthing to not only urself. Whats the point in winning if u cant share the experience with others, rite?

I know where I want to be and know what I need to do to get there and now that I have some support from others I will get where I wanna be.

Its just a matter of time, dedication and a shit load of hard work

Im going to show u guys what can be done over an 12-24 month period, this is simply the first phase and is only here to get me in shape and ready for a mass asult come summer time...

Im looking to do a real transformation, not a fukin 12 week cut... This is bread and butter, the real training and transformation begins after this phase, so do a load more calories and LBM


Stay tuned and keep in touch and I promise to show u a real transformation with plenty of pics, training videos and even cooking advise... I have plenty more to come and once im in my gaining phase this threa will be the best place on the net for bodybuilding meal ideas...


A bit of a long winded post but im currently doing 60 mins of cardio and need to pass the time

A final thankyou to anyone who has supported me through this, believe it or not im doing this just as much for u as im doing it for myself

And a shout out to any lurkers. Please post up, ur support is honestly apreciated

[gbrice75]

Base, i'm in awe of and inspired by your continued commitment to this. Where my log fell short and basically turned into a 'blog' where anything goes, you have remained true, updated every day, kept it strictly business and never allowed it to be derailed. Kudos to you my friend, you are doing great and I can't wait to see what you bring us this summer!

Best cardio in the gym, hands down! I can't handle more then 30 mins though, i'm literally dying and soaked on that thing, eyes closed and clenching my teeth lol. What programs do you use on it?

[baseline_9]

Keepin it simple for now

45 mins on level 4 ( manual )

Is still a killer tho

Oh, ok - i'm feeling a little better now! I'm hitting it hard at level 10, but doing 3 different programs @ 10mins each. So it's not super intense the entire time, but I like the interval effect I get from it.

[baseline_9]

At level 10 on our climber u would literally be running up the stairs lol

If the levels r the same, well done bro

I need some good stuff to watch online when i do my cardio

I think im guna start watchin masterchef as i love the show but but dont get to watch it when its on tv because im training. Also it is a 60 min show so perfect to get me thru the sessions

I have ordered some sugar free boiled sweets to give a go

Im also w8in for some sugar free syrup to come back in stock for my pancakes

Another thing to give a little go and see what its like

[baseline_9]

[csavage0]

killin it baseline. Keep it up!!!!!! Your holding on to size and dropping fat at the same time. Thats everyones dream lol

[baseline_9]

I woke up thismorning feeling great. A nice long 4 day weekend is ahead of me, brilliant

But then the ying-yang monster hit me

I recieved a phone call to tell me that one of my moms cats died in the night from an ilirgic reaction to some flowers that literally distroyed her imune system in a matter of 12 hours.

I loved that cat, if ur a pet owner you will understand

I called my GF to tell her who currently has a virus so im not seeing her untill it has cleared up because i cant afford to get ill at this point in the competition. She caught the virus from her mother and has now passed it onto her dad and uncle...


So while i woke up 2day feeling great and looking forward to life all of my loved ones are feeling awfull for some reason or another

Now i feel so bad for my mom and her other cat, my moms last cat got run over aswell and the one that she still has now had to have part of her leg replaced.... Kind of like a curse or sumat


Anyway, enough of my bullshit

Im on my bike doing my fasted cardio at least

Big back session 2nite coming up

After speaking to a contest prep expert I have decided to make some more radical drops in carbs at this point to force my body to respond and drop some extra fat in the last 4 weeks

My carbs ATM go...

180,180,60,180,180,120,60

My plan is now

120,120,60,120,120,120,60

I also plan to drop my fat from around 55-65 grams down to about 40g


Im one week off the clen , i plan to run some benadryl to upregulate my beta 2 receptor and get back on at some point soon

[baseline_9]

killin it baseline. Keep it up!!!!!! Your holding on to size and dropping fat at the same time. Thats everyones dream lol

Nice 1 brotha

[Kawigirl]

[baseline_9]

Haha

Second day on 120 carbs, feeling ok, had a good delt and bicep workout 2nite followed by 45 mins of hell on the stepmill

I really just hope that i can kill this for then next 6 weeks and be in the best shape ever for my holiday

Bring on the all inclusive 5 star baby, yeh!!!

Looking forward to doing nothing but sleeping, chilling, eating shit, drinking milkshakes all day (with added protien ofcorse), and lounging around for a week in the sun. Maybe even throw in a little training if i can be botherd.

Once i get back i will probably diet for a few weeks to get back to where i was b4 the holiday and then get on a cycle and hopefully have a good rebound...

Cant w8....


Cheat meal 2moro;

Grilled Ciabatta bread topped with parma ham and manchego cheese

32oz 51 day dry aged beef ribeye (bone in, cowboy cut), grilled and finnished in the oven with rosemary butter. Served with tripple cooked chunkey chips and a creamy wild mushroom sauce....

Bread and butter pudding, laced with nutella, served with dairy ice cream

Hersheys hot chocolate made with cream, whole milk, vanilla syrup, with a load of sqwerty cream on top

Its going to be epic...

I will have to get some pics of my beef. This is the beef that i have been dry ageing in my fridge for over 3 weeks.

I butcherd the beef today and it has come out great, it is now at the final stage where i have cut it into 3 and coverd it in salt to draw the last bit of moisture out of the meat....

I will have to get some pics so stay tuned

[baseline_9]

Forgot to mention my current diet as far as carbs and fats go

For my fats i am now going to have 10g of peanutbutter 4 x a day to give me 20g of fat

I have 5g fat from oats in the AM, and about 16g of fat from 4 x 8oz portions of lean meat throughout the day, maybe another 2g in whey.

So my fat is about 45 ish

Carbs are 60g in the AM every day and then on training days 40g Pre workout in the form of white basmati rice and 20g intra workout from dextrose... With added greens and carbs here n there im prob at about 130-140 a day

Protein is the same as always

3 scoops whey concentrate
32 oz lean meat ( 24 chicken, 8 beef )
1 cup egg whites

Simple really

My carbs have basically had a big drop of 60g on training days, also fats have come down a bit

I may put this up and down, just wanna see how i respond

[billyyb]

Thanks

And yeh thy r wkd, my favorite meal of the day

I like to put all the mix into the pan and cook for 3ish mins then slide it out onto a plate ( so the uncooked side is up) then turn the pan upaide down and push the plate into the pan as if u were holding a pizza box (the plate being the box)... Then flip over quickly and put back on the heat for a few more mins (with the plate still in the pan), do the reverse to get it out.

Best sauce ive found is 1/2 a lemon juced with a handfull of raspberrys all mushed together. Its sharp and sweet at the same time.
