Alrighty, I figured it's time to do a log, and follow through. I'm aware of the plethora OF "THE ONE" logs permeating the forum. I only hope to be able to provide straightforward, objective information.
So I guess I would say I've been cutting since January,.. down to 225lbs this morning from 240 in Nov. My plan is to put on lean body mass, and not put on fat. I know alot of people feel on things like this, it should be an all out bulk,.. but I'm leaning more towards trying to find my abs,.. so that's that!!
I'm on a 3 on/ 1 off training schedule, day 1 chest/back, day2 shoulders and arms, day 3 legs. I do cardio on days 1 and 2, mixing in interval training with long jogs,elliptical, or bike,.. pretty much whatever I'm in the mood for.
My diet, I'm not gonna lie, is my weak point. I've learned so much in my 6 months on this forum, but the attention to detail just escapes me as of late. Basically, I try to have a carb cut-off time around 6pm everyday. Doesn't always work out that way,,.. but I think you get it!!!
I have pics from Oct, but will be putting some freshies up this weekend, this way there's some eye candy, or for those who find me repulsive,.. well, I'm helping you on your diet.
I'll do my best to put up all routines, weights, and oh yes, measurements as well. Any and all input is appreciated in advance!!
I should note cycle support has been preloaded a week, fish oil, and multivits, and protein shakes are all I'll be taking. I do have some cissus should my joints act up. For pct, I'm going with 2nd gear at this point, other things will be added, but more on that later. I have clomid on hand should I need it, but all should be well!! This will be a 29 day cycle, 3 per day the first week, then 4 per day till gone. Let's get it on!!
So, the mystery for today,... why does the sun lighten your hair, but darken your skin?

Day 1
Alrighty, got some pics, just have to have my gf put them up, as I'm lousy at this puter stuff.
I have to be honest, all the cardio I've been doing has sapped my strength big time. Just ventilating, now that that's out, we can move on.
Chest
Flat db press 70x12
75x8
80x6
Incline bb press 185x6/5/4
Machine flyes 115x15
130x12
145x10
Back
pull-ups 5/5/4/4/4
Bent over rows 155x10/9/8
db shrugs 65x12x3 sets
Did 2 sets of leg raises and jumped rope for 15 minutes. Wasn't really feeling up to doing cardio.
Not much else to say at this point, no + or - effects thus far. Will update as needed!!

I'm not on top of it that much,.. I eat lots of red meat, chicken breast, pork chops, and milk. I was thinking about putting my foods in the log. I eat alot of food,... That's why it's gonna be hard for me not to pack on some fat. But, I'm gonna try. I usually only have 2 shakes per day,.. sometimes 1, as I'm a big night eater. I drink a gallon of water a day.
Let's put it this way, every now and then I count my protein intake, and it's always over 250 a day.

Day 2
Weight 224.7
BP: 128/72

Training: Shoulders-Behind neck press 95x4x10
upright rows 95x4x10
rear delt machine70x15
85x12
100x10
Triceps- lying extensions 80x3x12
pushdowns 50x15
60x12
70x10
biceps db curls 30x12
35x10/9
concentration curls 25x3x10
No abs or cardio today,.. time constraints!!!
Body composition and Look: pump was awesome
Muscle Hardness: getting better, the higer rep ranges are helping
Vascularity: Have a layer of fat covering everything,.. so this should improve greatly as cycle goes on!
Strength: Shoulders could've def went higher on presses, but bis and tris felt weak, push just wasn't there.
Speed: No cardio today, but went through workout quickly. I don't mess around in the gym, I'm in, I'm out,.. today approx 45 minutes.
Co-ordination: On point
Quality of Training: Great pump, even though I felt weak, so I'm not complainig. Mind/muscle connection wasn't clicking because I was stressing over small things.(My own fault) Gotta get things dialed in better psychologically!!!
Mood/Aggression: Irritated today, work, family, pulling at me. Again, I should develop better coping skills, can't really blame the one at this point.
Libido: Nothing either way!
Joints: Left elbows been bothering me, no more, no less!
Overall Sense of Feeling (to include mention of any shut-down or sides): Not feeling any different at this point. I slept like a rock last night. No king kong feeling, just a normal feeling of everyday life at this point.
I'm sticking with those pics(I'm bipolar)!!
Thanks for jumping in, and the support. I really appreciate any and all, positive or negative views!!!
Mystery of the day: Why is abbreviated, such a long word?

Day 3
wt:225
BP; 128/76

Diet - Odd thing is, my appetite seems to be decreasing, not increasing. Finding it hard to eat like I usually like to. I have been fighting a cold, and feeling like crap,.. but the show must go on. Water intake remains high,.. I love water!!
Training - Legs:Squats 225x3x10
Stiff leg deads 185x3x10
leg press 360x3x10
standing and seated calf raises, 3 sets of each
Strength: Not feelin' it!
Speed: Workout: 35 minutes, fairly quick, in and out.

Quality of Training: Pumps are there, I keep getting in my head about the strength being down,.. but I'm getting better.
Mood/Aggression: Irritability down,, just feel blah. Could actually use some aggression at this point.
Libido: Nothing either way!
Joints: No ill effects
Overall Sense of Feeling: No sides that I've noticed yet>
On a side note, DOMS is more pronounced than normal.
I'm not feeing any stim effect or even a therm-boost at all. Finding it hard to get motivated,.. side effect of this bug I'm fighting. But again,.. the show must, and will, go on!!!
I'm looking forward to weeks 2 and 3, when the strength and gains should start bouncing off. But till then, 1 day at a time!
Mystery of the day,.. Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Helps to 'standarize' things some, so that everyone can see how The ONE affects these factors in each individual.

No worries. There was nothing wrong with the pics. And the fat WILL come off as you go along.


Day 4: Off,.. getting some good old fashioned REST!!!
Probably a good idea if you are (feeling) sick. Means that you can hit back harder when you're recovered :)

Okay, I find the aggression to be increasing greatly. Every little thing really annoys me. It doesn't help that I like to deal with things head on, and when nothing gets solved or changes, it drives me nuts. Thanks for letting me ventilate!

I've found through time that my legs respond better to high rep sets, I don't even get a pump with low reps!
My calves respond pretty well to anything I do, and running keeps them in top form,.. so I hit em and quit em!!!

you should try widowmakers sometime if you're feeling adventurous. 20 reps squats. rep 15 should leave you gasping for air. take a few breaths, and rep out one more. rinse, repeat. rep 20 should feel like a midget took a 2x4 to your quads, in an attempt to beat you down to size :) some of the DC'ers do unbelievable weights on them.

YouTube - Justin Harris WidowMaker Set w/405 for 20reps

in retrospect, i should have done some widows today :(

I do widowmakers every now and then,.. (they make me cry,. lol)!!! I'm gonna do that on next leg workout if my mind is prepped!
Day 8
Rest day,.. coincidentally it's my first day at 4 caps. I ate everything in site, wonder if it's the extra cap that spiked my appetite?!?! Also, I've been having a good amt of indigestion, reflux, heartburn,... I was wondering if the one is doing that to me?!?!?! And after I take the one, it's like I have to force food down,.. I don't know.
Anyways, another split shift Friday, getting ready to hit the gym now, may not be able to update till tonight,. but I'm gonna get it in!!!!

You've got the wrong man with that description. I am truly interested in seeing your progress. We have a similar body type with you definately posessing more muscle mass and less bf%. Lots of guys are seeing good recomp happening with this if they keep their fat intake low even with high carbs. I will be checking in on you because I know you will bring it every workout.
