BigVrunga/USPLabs - Get Ripped Or Die Tryin'
Ive been trying to lean out for a good 10 months now. Probably about 5 months of focused determination and another 5 just too busy to do anything but maintain. Started at 240lbs @ 18% BF, Im sitting here now at 217 and ~11% - 12%BF and Ive been stuck at this point for months.
Diet was in check (but not meticulously tracked), making it to the gym, I couldnt figure out why I wasnt losing fat. And then, the obvious:
Cardio.
I'd always make it to the gym with an hour to spare and barely get in 10-15 minutes 2-3 times a week. With my sedentary office job, that's just not going to cut it even with a good diet, especially cutting naturally. It took me forever to get the motivation, but Im on that damn treadmill like its my religion now. For the past 2 weeks, Ive hit that mother 4 days a week and got in all my post workout cardio - last week was 5 20 minute sessions, this week 6 25 minute sessions. In 2 weeks Ill be up to 8 35 minute sessions of cardiovascular training a week...and If that doesnt lean me out...well I guess I'd better call Bobo
In addition to that, Ive got back into the habit of tracking what I eat, and FitDay.com has been a godsend. You can see the past 2 weeks worth here:

Striving for ~2700 cals a day at 40/40/20 (P/C/F). Refeed at 3300 cals every 5-6 days or so.
Now the fun part, the supplementation
First off, a huge thank-you to USPLabs for allowing me to be a tester on a few of these products. Also a big shout out to Custom and OmegaSports for making a totally kick ass CEE supplement (CreEthylThunder!)
Here's the rundown:
Morning:
2 Symmetry
2 Cissus
2 C2
4PM:
3 caps new cutter
Preworkout (9pm):
8 CreEthylThunder
3 PowerFULL
4 Symmetry
2 Cissus
2 Camphobolic
Before Bed:
2 PowerFULL
2 Cissus
2 Symmetry (beta)
2 Camphobolic
25mg ReboundXT
As for regular supplementation, just the staples: Multivitamin, Uni-Liver, Vitamin C. I also have about 200g of BCAA's that Ill stretch out over the next 4 weeks.
Im taking the ReboundXT because 1.)I have a little more than half a bottle in my supplement cabinet, and 2.)PowerFULL seems to have some kind of estrogen activity and while mild, Id like to keep it under control as I have no idea how my body will react to Symmetry.
The lasttime I tried something similar was a PowerFULL/CET/Cissus/Rebound stack that was surprisingly effective. Im looking very forward to the effects that the fat burners and Symmetry will add, hopefully it will be nothing short of impressive.
Unfortunately, no basal bloodwork (I dont have the funds and Im too eager to start), although I will try to get bloodwork done post if I can swing it, and then a couple months later to compare.
Measurements, Bodyweight/Bodyfat readings to be posted every week.
Training/diet diary, blood pressure readings, and personal ramblings to be updated every day.
Here's to getting ripped!!! Now I'm going to go make my fat ass one of Beowulf's Tuna burgers

Symmetry, PowerFULL, CissusRX, Camphobolic, C2, 'New USPLabs Cutting Pills', CreEthylThunder, ReboundXT
This is it, Im going to 8%BF. Nothing will get in my way. I dont care how much weight I have to lose. I dont even care if I dip below 200lbs, or if I get a little weaker. The fat must go. I am BigVrunga, and this is my decree
