VECTOR , Doggcrapp, Progressive Calories

[pfresh]

So are you enjoying the doggcrapp style? Seems like it is working for you.

I seem to be making good gains and it’s nice to have six different workouts to go through, it keeps things interesting.

I really should try and add more than 5 pounds at a time to these but I feel like I am doing really well adding reps and weight in the higher rep range. .

I think the best way to continue to gain is slow.
Sometimes you feel like you can add 25lbs and on that day you might be able to but your nervous system isnt ready and you will likely fall back and stall out. Slow increases like that give your body enough time to keep up and slowly grow.
Keep up the good work brother your killing this.

Yep I agree. I love a 6 day split because you can really hit each workout hard. It's nice because it doesn't feel like your doing the same routine over and over since it's a whole week split.

Nice workout! Increasing weight like a powerlifter in here!

Been following along in the background with interest, no mention of the supplement being logged for at least a couple of weeks? Are you still on vector? How’s the scale weight and fat % going? Any updates on how you feel vector is influencing results?
TIA

I still have been taking my vector. I will get an update up for tomorrow. I am probably going to do a deload next week so I will be wrapping this log up I think. Weight is way up, body fat hasn’t really budged since the last update, I will provide new pics and body part measurements along with a pic of current body fat measurement from the Skulpt.

 

[LeanEngineer]

Awesome! in for the new update pics!

 

[jtmass]

Great! Finally we get to see how Vector worked for you overall. Great log

I’m de loading next week, thanks to all that followed along, I had a lot of fun with this but am glad that it is over. Eating so much really makes one look forward to the future cut

I do it, I don't enjoy but it's the only way to have abs for me !!

 

[jtmass]

You have put on some good weight.. Guess it’s time for a mini-cut or recomp or will you maintain what you have.

 

[nickodemus]

Nice solid gains. Good work.

Wow, roughly 16 lbs in 8 weeks, that's some solid weight addition!

 

[UKG]

So are we calling this a win for vector, or a win for DC and progressive calories? It seems that claims of impressive weight and strength gain have been upheld? Seems to me now this is done we’re still none the wiser really? Interested in the OPs thoughts and feeling as to vectors contribution?

Looking at his stats throughout his run, this was his progression:

96.5% top muscle quality, 10.2% body fat, weighing 208.2 lbs...
96.5% top muscle quality, 11.5% body fat, weighing 216.8 lbs...
93.4 % top muscle quality, 14.2% body fat, weighing 219.2 lbs...
92.4 % top muscle quality, 14.0% body fat, weighing 220 lbs...
89.9 % top muscle quality, 12.2% body fat, weighing 224 lbs.

I think he would definitely agree he went too ham on the calories to begin the program. Neither Vector nor any natural supplement is going to allow you to be at an excessive caloric surplus without gaining a large % of fat. That said, I’m confused by the Skulpt stats. I don’t understand how top quality muscle continued to decrease every time while body fat went up and down. I don’t understand how he gained 4 pounds in the last couple weeks and lost nearly 2% body fat, but still decreased top quality muscle? I guess we have to accept that it’s an imperfect measuring system, like most body composition devices.

As for Vector’s help in all of this? There are waay too many variables, with drastic caloric increases to macro changes to DC programming to really put a finger on what did what. Could Vector have supplied a bit of a boost along the way? Yes. But there’s not anything in here that’s going to give you a definitive answer.

Another solid log, another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ answer to a natty supplement. In summary, use natty supps if you want to use them, but don’t expect them to work like SARMS, PHs or AAS.
