Why so much cardio and only 1810kCals?

As far as clen goes, don't up your dose until your temp comes back down. Where is your list of supps?

Day 2

40 mcg clen 9am
40 mcg clen 12 noon

Strange the way I felt, it was. I was shaky a little bit, but at the same time I had an all around body fatigue. I even was able to take a nap about a hour after I took my second dose and woke up about an hour later really shaky and my heart beating fast. The fatigue is tolerable, its strange, almost like my body is heavier and its requires more effort to carry it around.
Once I started my workout though I was able to get a good pump and push pretty hard.

Training:
PM:
Chest
Cardio x 30 min

Diet:
2012 cal

Why so much cardio and only 1810kCals?

As far as clen goes, don't up your dose until your temp comes back down. Where is your list of supps?

I did some research on precontest dieting and found an interesting article by Chris Aceto (Jay Cutlers Nutritionist). He says that if your want to cut your body fat but preserve the lean mass you should consume between 10 and 15 calories per one pound lean body mass. As of Sunday I was 219.5 at 18% which gives me 179.9 lbs lean mass. Consequently the caloric intake range is between 1799.9 and 2698.5. Given the anti-catabolic properties of clen I'm going to try and stay toward the lower end of the scale. I'll be checking and posting my weight and BF% progression twice a week and if I see a drop in lean mass I definitely up the cals.

As for the cardio in Acetos book "Everything You Nee To Know About Fat Loss" he presupposes intense weight training and extensive cardio ergo the contest preparation schematic. I'm not training for a contest but I'm taking the same approach because IMO bodybuilders are the most knowledge as far as fat loss and muscle gain/maintaince. Again, if the lean mass starts to drop I'll tweak the cardio.

Supplements:

36g glutamine
multivitamin
3g cla
5500mg Potassium
Amino Acids


Post Workout (within 15 min):
50g Protein (Isopure)
35g glucose/dextrose combo

I'll post some pics this week.

Where is your Taurin supplement? As far as what Cutler's nutritionist says..well more than likely he is talking about a person that is cycling. And you know you can only lose so much weight within a week. I think you should drop the after weight training cardio and see what you get...start off with less and up it as you plateau.

I wish you the best, and yes keep this updated.

Day 3

40 mcg clen 9am
40 mcg clen 12noon
40 mcg clen 3pm

As was well. I started feeling shakey about 30 minutes after each dose and the shaking lasted about an hour. Again though I had an all around body fatigue. It may be due to the fact that I'm sitting at a computer all day because once I start working out I'm still able to carry on with good intensity. Thats has always been the case though, once I start working out, no matter how tired I get I'm good to go.

I did have a small cramp in left side of my abdomon but it was very tollerable, just kind of there. Very light headache, again nothing serious, just kind of there in the background all day.

I havent had much of an appetite at all. I actually just have to eat by the clock because I'm very rarely hungry (except after weight training). So, I been eating every 3 hours, mostly protein shakes and meal replacements.

Day 4

40mcg clen 11am
40mcg clen 1pm
40mcg clen 5pm

Weight:
217.5 lbs

BodyFat:
17.4 %


I felt pretty good today. I had the day off so I slept in a little bit. I wasnt as shaky as before and no cramps or headaches or anything so I'm going to up my dose to 160 tomorrow and alternate 160/120 each day.

As for my weight change and bf% change its about what I expected. I think this week comming up I will get even more results though because I will have higher doses in my system. Those numbers reflect the build up days so they dont posture the maximum benefit I'm expecting. As for how those numbers break down:

219.5 @ 18% on 03/19/2006
217.5 @ 17.4 on 03/22/2006

Total Days: 3
Total Weight Loss: 2lbs
Total BodyFat % Loss: .6%
Lean Mass: -.34lbs
Body Fat: -1.67lbs

I know I lost a little bit of lean mass but I think thats mostly water because I have been sweating like crazy. When I work out, by the time I'm done I look like I jumped in the pool with all my clothes on, seriously, its kind of disgusting. I naturally sweat a lot so this is just crazy. Its worth it though.

I had a cheat meal today (Foot long BMT Double Meat from Subway ) so my calories are on the higher range compared to where they have been the past few days. But for me I need to have those cheat meals at least twice a week to keep my body from going into starvation mode and storing body fat. The cheat meal twice a week just lets it know that the foods going to be there and I'm generally at a lower BF% the day after a cheat meal. I think my body is responding to the increased calories in expectation that it will continue and then burning more calories and fat. This only works for me though when I'm on a low calorie diet and have higher calorie day twice a week ie. metabolic trickery.

Anyway, I should have some pics up by Saturday.

Training:
AM:
Cardio x 45 min

Afternoon:
Cardio x 45 min

Day 5

80mcg clen 9am
40mcg clen 12noon
40mcg clen 3pm

Felt good today. Almost all the shaking has gone away. It kind of sucks actually because I like the shaking; it gives me that, wow its woking feeling. I did have mild headace all day. I took Aleve but it was still persistently there in the background all day until I started working out, then it went away.

My workouts are going pretty good. 120lbs dumbells on the shoulder press 4x but it felt heavier than last week. Also my endurance through the duration of my workout is a challenge to maintain. I'm sweating a TON, so I'm trying to drink as much water as possible, but I have to really push myself to maintain the same level of intensity as I'm used to.

I do feel a great pump during my exercises. The funny thing is that while I'm exhausted all around as a total I felt last night that I my shoulders and traps could have and actually wanted more after 26 sets so threw in some rear delt flys to burn out.

I should have some pics up tommarow.

Training:
PM:

Traps
