Radaruckus' DCP, LX, and BC Log

radaruckus · 06-07-2008, 11:31 AM

Ok, so here are my stats:
Age: ~25
Hght: 5'6"
Wght: ~140
BF%: 8-8.5 <---taken with those bioimpedance gadgets not really trustworthy in my eyes. But its the only measurement I have at the moment.
Supps currently taking:
The above mentioned, since Wed.
Multi-vit
ZMK
Xtend 3 serv/day
Whey Pro.
Diesel Test
and Na-r-ala on days I carb up

My diet consist of only eating 50g of carb.'s coming from fibrous carbs. Protein comes from whey protein, chicken, beef, ground turkey, and i count my serv.'s of Xtend as protein intake. Fats come in the form of olive oil, avocado, Fish oil, and fat found in the protein sources. I also eat some walnuts or pistachios if i feel I haven't reached my fat intake goals.

Diet looks like:
Kale, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Romaine or Red Lettuce, Onions
Measured to have 10 g CHO each.
4 oz.'s of beef, chicken, turkey
2 serv.'s of Whey at different times in the day
3 serv.'s of Xtend BCAA's
15ml of olive oil, 30 gms of fish oil, and about 15g of fat from avocado
So, it comes out to be
Pro: 140-150
CHO- 50
Fat ~70

I have a paper to write due on monday so I will come back and post my workout routine and my carb. up techniques by tomorrow.
Also I want to post some pic.'s but have no idea, if anyone can point to any info on that it would be greatly appreciated.

LX and Basic Cuts are both excellent products. The Cayenne in Basic Cuts will have some potent synergy with the actions of DCP...interested to follow along here.

Well, I think this may have been a bad idea seeing that I live in miami. So far in the last 3 days of taking this a have gradually felt hotter and hotter. Its gotten ridiculously hot outside. So the synergism between the two plus the forskolin and green tea in the LX is kickin my a**. Loving it though

haiz69 · 06-07-2008, 04:31 PM

Definitely in for this. Good luck.

Well basically I have started to take DCP, Lean Xtreme v.2, and Basic Cuts. I got a deal on the latter two so I decided to give it a try. Ok, so here are my stats:

What is the goal here? Are you trying to lean out further ?

Yes. I don't believe I am at the bodyfat% I posted. I got the number from one of the electronic fat assessment gadgets, you know the send electric pulses then gives some result based on height, weight, and age. When looking at myself in the mirror I am very lean in the arms and lower legs, but still have a bit of fat on my abs. My abs are becoming more visible but from what I understand it is only once your under 10% BF that you see definition in the abs.

Once you get under 20% bodyfat, those bioimpedence scales can be off as much as 10-15%.

Can you post pics? Then again, not that it matters...your regimen looks solid and you can easily judge by the mirror, rather than some arbitrary bf #.

radaruckus · 06-07-2008, 05:44 PM

I took one in the locker room yesterday, not great but I will try to get one up here soon. I will have my friend take some better ones 2morrow. I've been pretty busy with this paper, so I haven't been able to set this up appropriately. Thank god I got the LX this week. The stress has been mounting. I will do my best to fill in the blanks here so everyone gets a better picture as to what i want out of this stack. Thanks to those who have taken interest so far, I hope I can use your input as time goes on.

radaruckus · 06-07-2008, 07:21 PM

Ok, well I'm taking a quick break from schoolwork to update this as best as I can in the little bit of time I got.
I must state right now that I have cutting for almost a month now and I am nearing the end. I have reached a point where the fat doesn't come off that fast so for this reason I decided to use these products.
Initial Reactions: first day I received the products I took 1 serv of both Lean Xtreme and DCP. It kept me up for a little bit. I think it may have been the Lean Xtreme as others have had similar experience with cortisol products. I have been progressively feeling warmer during the day. Thermogenesis has kicked in nicely. I haven't seen any difference yet in BF. I wasn't expecting to see any so soon. For those who don't know I started full dosing since wednesay.
Dosing:
LX 2 first thing in the morning, 1-2 four hours later
DCP 2 first thing in the morning, 2 midday, 2 bed
BC 2 first thing in the morning, 2 midday
Training:
Split routine, 3 days of resistance training in 5 day cycles. Ok so I'm doing a routine I recently found. My goal during workout is to raise LA as much as possible, so rest intervals are minimal, 60 sec.'s- 30 sec.'s. This will increase O2 deficit, increase metabolism, and GH. I don't know if the latter has a true effect but I know the energy expenditure is much greater in this style of training. So here it is:

Day 1
A1) Lying Leg Curls
Reps: 15-20
Sets: 3

A2) Seated Cable Row to Neck
Reps: 15-20
Sets: 3

B1) Seated Leg Curls
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

B2) Incline Dumbbell Presses With Rotation
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

C1) Hamstring Leg Presses
Reps: 10-20
Sets: 3
Tempo: 201

C2) Seated Incline Curls
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

D1) Dumbbell Shrugs
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

D2) Swiss Ball Crunches
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

Day 2:
A1) Front Split Squats
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

A2) Close-Parallel Grip Pulldowns to Chest
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

B1) Good Mornings
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

B2) Flat Dumbbell Presses
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

C1) Seated Calf Raises
Reps: 15-20
Sets: 3

C2) California Skull Crushers
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

D1) Upright Rows
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

D2) Leg Lifts Off a Bench
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

Day 3:

A1) Back Squats
Reps: 15-20
Sets: 3

A2) Bent-Over Rows
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

B1) Straight Leg Deadlifts
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

B2) Wide Grip Sternum Lat Pulldowns
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

C1) Dumbbell Lunges
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

C2) Standing Close-Grip Barbell Curls
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

D1) Decline Dumbbell Triceps Extensions
Reps: 10-12
Sets: 3

D3) Leg Lifts Off a Bench or Swiss Ball
Reps: 8-10
Sets: 3

I posted a pic I took yesterday hope this doesn't look blurry.

radaruckus · 06-07-2008, 07:26 PM

It comes out to be:
Day1 Routine
Day2 Routine
HIIT cardio
Day3 Routine
HIIT cardio
then rinse and repeat

radaruckus · 06-08-2008, 12:38 PM

Just got back from the gym. Did Day 1 from my WO outline. Just a few things on my training: I start with a 5 min. warmup on the bike. Today I found it was really hard to get my HR up to 120-130, thats usually my goal for warmup. After that I begin the routine, then a 5 min. cooldown and then static stretches.
Training went good today, nothing out the ordinary other than the heart rate issue, which I find as a positive. Oh, I forgot, I had some ridiculous vascularity in my arms. My arms have never looked that way in my entire life. really excited bout that
Post workout: I took in about 20g of carb.'s coming from blueberries, then a serving of WPI w/ 2g of vit. C and 600mg grape seed extract. Once I got home, ~30 min.'s later, took 1 LX, 2 DCP and 1 Na-r-ala 100mg. Bout 10 min.'s later I ate some sweet potato, enough for about 40g carb.'s.
I have experimented with my carb loading and found that when I load with things like WMS and/or keep eating starches and grains throughout the day, I get really bloated. I have been ~140 lb.'s throughout this process so when I slacked on my diet around memorial day weekend, unsurprisingly I jumped up to 146. This was completely water weight and it distended my stomach. Lets just see it wasn't cute. I've decided this to be the best way to reload my glycogen stores. I took some more pics 2day, think they're a little clearer.

radaruckus · 06-09-2008, 12:12 PM

This morning was rough. I stayed up late trying too write my paper. Then I woke early to finish writing. Went to class right after. I wasn't able to take anything til 12:30 or so. Instead of the regular dosing, I decided to split the DCP into 3 pills twice today, also took 2 Lean Xtreme, no basic cuts today. Might take 2 more LX before bed. Not sure yet. I will say, I just bought some products that shouldn't effect my goals with DCP, LX, BC. I bought some glutamine, emerald balance, and ON 100% Casein. I'm gonna take about 20g's mixed in w/ the xtend. Emerald balance PWO and the casein is just to get to my protein target. These shouldn't skew the results but if anyone thinks otherwise please let me know and I will use them at a later date, except the casein.
Now back to the eurocup!

dsade · 06-09-2008, 12:24 PM

Tell me more about the Emerald Balance...link?

radaruckus · 06-09-2008, 12:42 PM

Emerald balance is a green superfood type product, SGN Nutrition Online Store :: health products and whole food supplements
it has barley grass, wheat grass, etc. High ORAC blend of blueberry powder, acerola powder and the like. Some probiotics, some fiber, and and "energizing cellular support". Out of these types of products I found this to be the most complete.

haiz69 · 06-09-2008, 01:53 PM

Damn, looking great!
