Thanks, bro! Planning, sacrifice, hard work, and dedication... I've had no life for the past several months aside from the gym, kitchen, and my bed!

Day 15 of Napalm.





Still on the first bottle. Cuts are getting deeper. Love handles are fading. It's definitely still working for me! God I love this stuff! Can't wait to add clen...

What were your diet and training like during your impressive transformation?

[shaddow]

I started with the following diet:









Yes, I've been eating the same sh!t every day for the past few months with the exception of one cheat meal per week. Past several weeks I've added an egg to meals 1,3,4,6, larger chicken portions, and broccoli. Meal #5 is PWO. Decided to drop the rice completely this week and added lots of veggies & milled flax seed. Been having an occasional scoop of natty PB lately too.

Routine-wise I dunno what you'd call it, but I've been on a 5-day split. Day 1: Chest & biceps, Day 2: Legs, abs, Day 3: Back & triceps, Day 4: Shoulders, calfs, abs, Day 5: Off. Repeat.

I've been doing pyramids for just about every exercise. One light 20-rep warm-up set for each muscle group, then 12 reps, go up in weight 10 reps, add more weight for 8 reps, and end on 4-6 reps heavy. Only thing I haven't really been training like that are my abs. I've just been punishing them at the gym, throwing different exercises at them and not stopping til I nearly black out. LOL.

Been doing A LOT of body weight exercises. Push ups, dips, pullups. I feel like that's what's getting me the most ripped to be honest with you. Finishing up a chest workout and then hitting dips/pushups, or finishing back and attacking the (assisted) pullup bar. Also been doing them on my off days. Lots of stretching...

Cardio: HIIT 2x per week, 2-mile run 2x per week, 10-mile bike ride 2x per week.

I finally feel like my old self again. Just hope I can stay healthy! I always seem to get hurt!

Wow impressive progress, you are no endo though so your diet although very clean is not super clean like mine had to be to get similar results.

One thing is obvious, Napalm is doing it's job.

[OCCFan023]

Is that the real fitday application?

Impressive results man.

[shaddow]

Thanks guys.

OCCFan023, I entered all my meals on individual days and then added everything up with an Excel spreadsheet. I love fitday but hate the way it's set up.

[shaddow]

Thanks, bro.

I'm curious - what would you guys say my bf% is right now? Ballpark? Anyone?

[DreamWeaver]

I would say about 6 percent, I have a pretty good eye.

[Sir Savage]

I'm always surprised when guys can eat that many carbs and still get cut.

[hockeyroom28]

Congrats on the results, I had similar results with Napalm also. Really love the product and would recommend it

[BigNutz]

Great progress bro! You dont even look like the same person. LOL. I see the protein, what other supps have you been consistently using to aid your recomp?

[shaddow]

6-8%? Really? Man, I would've been happy with 10%. I guess now I've gotta try and get down to 4-6%, just for shits and giggles. LOL.

Thank you! I'm really not the same person as that guy in those first pics. That was the 'depressed and slightly masochistic shaddow' who goes on drinking binges for months at a time while eating absolute crap because he's pissed that he's injured and can't lift. I have never been as fat as I was in those pics before, EVER. I went up 2 pant sizes to a size 34 after being a size 32 for about 10 years. Once I had to start buying new pants I knew it had gotten bad. Whenever I can't lift I get depressed and all I wanna do is get ****ed up, but as long as I'm healthy I don't wanna do anything to **** up my gains.

That's what I'm taking right now. Oh, and of course Napalm and BCAA's before fasted cardio. I'm gonna up the ecy to 3x daily as long as I can keep my appetite up (shouldn't be an issue - stims don't really do much for me).

Don't forget I was out of the gym pretty much all of last summer doing nothing but drinking and eating junk, had surgery in the fall, then finally got back to the gym in December. I think I can safely say I drank at least 60-70 beers (none of that light sh!t either) a week. Baaaaaad. This has been a complete lifestyle change for me. I'm sure a lot of my gains can be attributed to muscle memory. I was ~190lbs @ 9% when I was 24, so it's not like this came completely out of left field. I'd just never been that fat before, and I don't think I've ever been this lean in my adult life before either.

Think I can drop another 2% if I add Leviathan and possibly DCP? I've got these bottles just sitting here...
