What up guys..? This is my first log on AM. Looking forward to the accountability that comes with doing a log.
And hoping that it helps me hit my goals. I actually started this stack 10 days ago, but ive been busy moving
so i didn't have time to start the log.
BACKGROUND:
I have trained off and on for 25 plus years. Started training serious in 2004 after my divorce. Got in pretty good
shape. Was about 180lbs with a 34" waist. Then in 2008 economy hit me hard, had to take a job on the road,
no time to train and started eating out all the time. I ended up ballooning up to 235 by 2012 with a 40" waist.
Then on December 1st 2012 i decided to take action and committed myself to a lifetime of training and eating
right. I promised myself before i started that I would never let life get in the way of being fit. By October 1st
2013, only 10 months later, I had lost 71lbs and was now 164lbs with a 33" waist.
Over the last 7-8 months I have done 2 recomp cycles to try to add some muscle without gaining any fat around
my middle. First I tried an 8 Week Cycle of Testofen & Divanil. Ate at 250 above Maintenance. I ended up 4 lbs
heavier without increasing my waist circumference. Then 6 weeks ago I tried a 2 bottle run of Iron Legion xi-kt
at maintenance calories & ended up staying the same weight, but lost a 1/2" off my waist.
I considered both of these runs successful, but didn't blow me away.
Now I've decided I'm going to do whatever it takes to get shredded. i figure once i get lean, it will be a little easier
to add muscle without always having to worry that my body fat is going to be too high.
Ive dont a lot of research and decided to use some of the most proven supplements the industry have to offer. I
figure with my diet in check, and my training program dialed in, this will get me closer to my goals.
