Thx T, and good to see you checking in on the board!!

Mentally... I'm already there! Physically... well, I'm gonna stick to my regimen completely until I get there... I feel I need every last minute I can get. Once I'm there, I'm still not planning on completely abandoning some good judgement. Now what I 'plan' on doing and what actually winds up happening aren't always one in the same... :\

[ichad]

Looking good. I wish my 204 pics would look that good. Lol. .

You're looking very hard! I'd say you're ready for v-cay

You should be proud!!

[gbrice75]

I'm thinking we're right about the same. For how long though I don't know considering the surplus I'm forcing down right now.

Meaning... you're gonna get fatter, add some muscle, or both!?

Thx T... ready or not, it's happening!! I'm doing everything I can though in the meantime... just got back from Walgreens, picked up some Diurex lol!

[slfmade]

It's my first cycle so I better add some muscle without getting much fatter. Since I don't know how my body is gonna respond over the next 8 weeks I'll probably be playing a lot of teeter-totter with BF. The ultimate goal is to be down to 10% while gaining 5-10lbs of muscle by the end of the cycle. I'm gonna add in mast p at week 3 so I better be at 10% or I'll be spending that money for nothing or so I hear.

Oh yea, forgot about that small detail, lol. Which reminds me, gotta check your log.

[gearbox]

Pics looks great. You are always so hard on yourself.
Love that hard separation between your pecks

[baseline_9]

Keep at it man....

Ur being consistent which is always the hardest part but it is really gonna pay off for ya....


Check out the thread about cravings I've just posted.... Nothing ground breaking but it works to kill a craving....

Thanks gear! Pecs are definitely one of my better groups. Can't wait to get leaner... I'll start showing that upper/lower separation similar to my avy condition.

lol.. I have to be hard on myself, else I may not give it 100%!

Keep at it man....

Thanks Base. It sounds way too simple, but consistency really is just about everything. An imperfect plan followed with consistency will yield better results than the perfect plan that's deviated from... every single time. Took a long time to realize this (simple) concept.

You mentioned that. Bahahah!!!

Nice work man. What would you guess your BF% to be right now?

[gbrice75]

Nice work man. What would you guess your BF% to be right now?

Thanks bud. I'm thinking roughly 13%, possibly slightly higher due to the concentration around my lower back.

im ok mate, getting my bloods tested, starting to train for a run in september so changing things up a bit, cheers for asking.

how long you got left of this cut?

[gbrice75]

Nice. I'm running in a 5k myself in June. Foamfest though, so it's more fun than anything else - still a physical challenge.

how long you got left of this cut?

Technically, 3.5 weeks. But seeing as I'm going on vacation (holiday) next week, I have no doubt I'll be set back 2-3 weeks minimum. Further, I planned to re-evaluate at the end of this cut, and possibly cut for another 4 weeks (likely using UD 2.0 to get *really* lean). With that in mind, I'm looking at 9-10 more weeks. Fun fun! lol

5k should be easy enough for you mate, are you doing for a cause/charity or just for fun?...........im training for a 10 mile endurance run (have to wear 35lb bergen and army clothes) its the run our Paras do for selection so its tough, im planning on running for Help for Heroes, its a british charity for wounded soldiers.


the UD 2.0 is a tough routine mate, but im sure you will do it no bother.

[Bodybuilding-Student]

Brillint progress Gbrice, especially in the others pics i saw. Delts have improved and your is looking thicker and stronger even though ur bf isnt as low as previously, it looks a whole lot better.

[gbrice75]

^^ thanks buddy, and good to see you back!! Hopefully I'll get as lean (or leaner) as before, but carrying ~10lbs more LBM.

ps - would you mind editing out the name above? Not a big deal really, but I'd like to maintain some form of anonymity.

[Bodybuilding-Student]

No problem

[gbrice75]

No problem

Thx brother!

A little, lol. Won't be able to tell for another day or two... sort of a 'loading' phase. Xpel is pretty much herbal, right?

Heh, typical. Diurex is a pretty tried and true diuretic... nothing fancy, $6 for 24 caplets. I'll let you know how it works out. Would be easier to judge if I were carrying (far) less bodyfat, but I'll have to work with what I have now.

Why did you start a diuretic?

Did a doc put you on this or just trying to cut water?

[gbrice75]

Just doing everything I can to look and feel my leanest, so yea, trying to drop water.

[oatmeal69]

Will that stuff make you drop water out of muscle as well? If so, what's the point?
