I like the name of this thread, kinda funny Lets see the progress man!

Man, what a weekend.
Alright, after coaxing my brother into photographing me, he takes two shots and runs off (he's 13). I'm visiting my family today, and spent all morning and afternoon doing yard work to help them out.

So here is the better of the 2 pics, though lighting could certainly have been better, you can still see the deeper separation of the individual "abs" and more definition.


Man, my forearms always look tiny in these shots...I need more reverse curls, I think

[Gtarzan81]

looking way shredder dude! Gnarly!
All I need is a pic of Shredder from T.M.N.T. for this to be complete

[Resolve]

haha - thanks! Yeah the TMNT villain came to mind for me too. I fine with being likened to him - I always thought he was way cooler than the turtles!

I dig your sig - the bit about the sodium intake. Should be tattooed across my forehead.

[Gtarzan81]

Keep up the good work sir!

I'm liking the Napalm also. Theres a huge luau pool party event coming up next Sunday. I'm gonna put it to the test to see how much of a 6-pack it can give me in a weeks time.

Thanks for the sig notice. I tend to be a smart arse much of the time. Without the context, and tonality in reality, it doesnt come off right onlinie sometimes. I put that there as a catch-all

UPDATE TIME! Caliper readings continue to hover between 5-6mm at the suprailliac skinfold, changing from day to day. The lowest was right at 5 and was on Sunday, the day following a carb "refeed"; the lower reading probably due to fuller muscles.
Just for the record, the measurements I report are actually the average of three readings taken back-to-back, in an attempt to minimalize error.
With approximately one week left of Napalm to go, and 10 days until my wedding, I'm getting pretty stoked!

P.S. - My fiance has not yet ceased to comment on how sexy I have gotten in the past few weeks - oh yeah.

Nothing better than that my friend! Good Job!

[Stay Puft]

Very solid indeed, the feedback is always nice to hear.

That's right - 5 days until my wedding, making this my first day of glycogen-depletion. For the next 4 days, I'll be eating ~50g carbs, drinking 3gallons of water and executing 6-8sets per body part of antagonistic supersets. On friday I will begin supercompensating - eating nothing but carbs and drinking next to no water. I won't be messing with my electrolyte balance: it's too dang hot in SoCal right now and I don't want to drop too much salt and end up in hyponatraemia.
I'll probably be feeling crappy and cranky by thursday (that's what carb depletion does to me), and posting final pics on Saturday - the day of the big event!

Napalm is running short, but I'm gonna use it till that bottle's so empty it implodes. It has really made a huge difference in defining my abs - as I come into the "home stretch" I'm really looking forward to the end results!

BTW, Stay Puft, If you don't mind me asking - what kind of degree do you have? R&D, particularly in nutritional chemistry and/or the supplemental industry has been something I've been considering looking into, careerwise. I have BS in molecular biology and have been researching mainly in endocrinology, but let's face it, investigating substances for practical improvement in the gym and body are my passions and what I study in my free time.

I'm just starting day 3 of Glycogen depletion, with 3 days until my wedding. Abs are looking good. Suprailliac Skinfold measuring at about 5.5mm consistently.

I did total body workouts on Monday and Tuesday, today will be upper body only, Tomorrow HIIT only and Friday will be a refining workout - to hit those parts I'd like to emphasize one last time.

After cutting water at 4pm last night, loading up on fruit, starches and sugar, I dropped almost 4lbs of water weight! I took a couple tablespoons of vegetable glycerine and some taraxicum tabs and partied the night away (my bachelor party).


This morning I chugged a regular Dr. Pepper for the sugar, took some more glycerine, did a quick pump workout and I was ready for my photos. Also, I drained my bottle of the very last little bit of Napalm - talk about perfect timing - ran out on the morning of my wedding day; awesome!

Final stats: 221lbs, ~5%BF (little bit over I think)




I kinda twisted weird on this one a bit, but it's still a good shot


This one show off some of the vascularity in my shoulders and chest, as well as better shading across my abs




These last two are attempts to display the vascularity that has developed in my arms - they're really quite defined - but that bathroom lighting...oh, it's bad.

Compared with my "before" pics, I've made a ton of progress - dropping several percent BF and retaining plenty of muscle. Hard training, hard diet, good supps paid off!

A HUMONGOUS THANK YOU TO AVANT RESEARCH AND THEIR PROUD LEADER SIR SAVAGE! SIMPLY AWESOME PRODUCT, IT'S NOW A PERMANENT MEMBER OF MY CUTTING TOOL KIT!

P.S. - Keep your eyes open for a pic of me and my new "Mrs. Resolve"!

NICE WORK MAN!

congrats on the wedding!

[Sir Savage]

Very nice job, my man. Well done.

And again, huge congrats on getting hitched.
