Good for you on giving up drinking if you had a problem with it. I LOVE MY BEER! It's the saddest part of dieting for me. I've never had a problem with drinking though.

[--->>405<<---]

Ive shifted my focus to diet and exercise LOL

I tried the oat pancakes today! Freakin awesome! I had 2 whole recipes today.. Am having 2 more tomorrow.. 1 recipe has :589cals/59pro/67carb/11fat

[--->>405<<---]

Hit It hard at lunch.. Did a 1 mile walk and bought a pair of flip flops.. Im beat!

[slfmade]

Nice work! What is your waist at now??? I measured yesterday and I'm down from a 38 to a 32 in less than a year. I'm pretty happy. I can shop in the "regular people's" department again. LOL

That's about how much I gained on vacation last month before I started my log. Went to an all inclusive in Dominican Republic and just ate for a week straight. I think I had an egg white omelet the first day and it was all down hill from there. Definitively worth it had a great time and that weight is gone already. Enjoy

Good job buddy. since you help me on my log, I'll start viewing yours! seems really interesting. didnt know you had one. anyways.. question about ECA.. from your experience, do you notice helping slim you down? or do you use it meerly as an appetite suppressant while your on a lower calorie per day diet plan???

the reason i ask is because there was all the hoopla about it ten or so years being SO DANGEROUS.. and then by the time i was old enough to be dedicated to training (24 i started really, and now i am almost 26) i honestly felt like it was nothing.. and the media over blown everything?

when i am on it (just finished last dose sunday) it seems more like a appetite suppressant to mean compared to a thermogenic, as my body seems to only heat up the first time i take it during the 4 week cycle and then never again until i start another 4 week cycle every so often?

[Back In Black]

Well Mr 405, my final fasted cardio (for a while) this morning was

5 min warm up
5 min 90% HIIT
5 min rest
20 mins LIC
5 mins 80% Intervals
5 mins cooldown

Certainly made it less boring than 45 mins LIC!

Had to have BCAA before though.

for me the appetite suppression subsided by the end of week 2 but the rest of it seemed to get stronger.. ( speediness mainly.. never noticed a temperature change)

ive had this log going for awhile u dont pay alot of attention to the main page do u?

i hear ya bro! i havent tried the HIIT at the end yet.. how was it? also if ur dun cutting u gonna post some pics?

[Back In Black]

The end HIIT isn't really HIIT because it's only an RPE of 70-80%. Byt they were a little tough, first thing in the morning and I'd done HIIT only 16hrs previously!

Pics? Oh my, why not. Officially I end my cut this coming Sunday so I'll see if I can get them done then. Before my pre maintenance cheat meals(s)! But I'm a skinny bugger at about 168lbs at 5'11"

[--->>405<<---]

well guys i gotta say depletion workout one was by far the tuffest weightlifting session ive ever done! it took 1hr 45mins and i basically was "under tension" for 45 secs with a 60-75sec break for a solid hr and 45mins.. i did take a 7min break between rounds and did total body for 39 sets.. all on zero carbs..

and i have to do it again tomorrow!

i can see why this routine coupled with diet gets rid of stubborn fat.. 10-12%bf is the required percentage to do this workout and diet and i can see after today that anyone who is not at this level of fitness could prob not complete the workout anyways..

hey dude its all about personal preference my focus is mainly on bf%.. LBM and size is purely secondary and always will be! genetically i just happen to carry a fair amt of muscle cuz im by nature a "stocky" guy.. but i dont care as much about how much LBM i have as i do how little fat have

lol i do!! but me and you didnt really being buds until last weekend... so i just guess i never really payed attention to this page until now.

[--->>405<<---]

also i must say people are really starting to notice me now.. i have people asking fitness advice and all kinds of stuff.. people tend to gravitate towards discussing diet and fitness with me as their way of making small talk.. its funny.. i suppose i exude fitness more now than i ever have

[havehotasianwife]

its those duck pheromone suppositories that your using now to boost testosterone my friend

[--->>405<<---]

LOL.. howd u know i was taking those? i like the "extra large" ...

[havehotasianwife]

because we can smell our own kind....i prefer osterich egg suppositories,, i find they provide me with enough energy pre-workout and fill me up

[--->>405<<---]

u enjoy being full i know

well guys heres a set of pics i took saturday.. this will mark my starting point on UD2.0

well see how i fare after 5 weeks ill post another set.. id also like to note the camera was taken from below which makes my waist look bigger than it actually is i promise

also i remembered taking pics rite before i started the carb cycle so the first pic is of just that.. for comparison of how 1month on carb cycle affected my bf%.. appears i lost some bf but its slow going which is why ive stepped it up

[havehotasianwife]

great job dude.. right now your about where i want to be when i get done with my first round of bodyopus. keep up the good work

[--->>405<<---]

thx man i intend to..

[--->>405<<---]

btw asian how long is 1 round? its taken me 6months to get here..

[havehotasianwife]

depends how it goes.. but with my asian wife helping me with the math,, supposedly 21 weeks.
i am currently slightly below 15% although in my opinion i feel higher because i store it on my lower belly and love handles. even though i get pretty vascular everywhere else... oh well though,, everybody has a spot that is there trouble spot right?

[--->>405<<---]

yes for sure.. mine is the love handle area as well as in the chest..

[bikeral]

Great job bro. You should throw in a pic from your start last year for those that have not been back that far to see the transformation.

[havehotasianwife]

i agree, do a side by side pic

[--->>405<<---]

another observation id like to make note of.. it took a few days for me to figure out what was going on but as yall know last week i ran maintenance for like 9 days.. part of that was 300g carbs.. well i noticed then and even more now that i have more energy with less carbs.. or more accurately zero starchy carbs.. ive had more energy today than last week for sure.. now i realize i am on eca today whcih im sure helps but all last week i was tired and lazy and on the verge of sleep as well as hungry most of the time.. so far today ive had 3 out of 5 meals and my total cals today are 1400 and ive prob only eaten about 900cals thus far.. thought that was interesting..

dont get me wrong i love eating the carbs but they seem to make me sleepy and lazy!

[jpowell]

looking good bro. wats ur current stats, as of today ?
