I figured I'd better jump on the bandwagon and post a little introduction like many of the other MST sponsored athletes before I am left out in the dust.

My name is Matt, I am 21 years old, and am currently dieting for 3 (possibly 4) shows coming up this Summer.

Right now I am 2.5 weeks out from the Executive Productions Michigan Challenge of Grand Rapids Bodybuilding Competition. I will also be competing in two shows (May 31 and June 7) in Indiana, putting me at 4.5 and 5.5 weeks out for both of those.

I have done one previous show (2006 OCB Lake Cities Natural) and placed 1st in the teen division and 2nd in novice.

Right now I am sitting near 191 +/-2lbs at 6' tall, which is ~5 lbs heavier than I was for my first competition. I am also noticeably leaner as well at this point from showtime (another plus).


If it is alright with everyone, I figure I'll keep a small log here of the remainder of my prep. Knowing that I will be posting info on here will only make me push myself that much harder to come in at my absolute best, as I definitely do not want to disappoint.

Not bad today with the exception of my legs still being sore from Monday's leg workout.

Recently found out that I have been accepted to Ferris State University's pharmacy school, so that was definitely news well-received.

Hey Matt! Nice to see you in here my friend. I think you are going to great in these upcoming shows.

Congrats on the acceptance to Ferris State! That's exciting.

best of luck, brotha! awesome job getting accepted to Pharmacy school. that was something i originally wanted to do as well.

[CTDeuce]

Welcome to our team and congrats on your acceptance to school. If I could go back 6 years I might take that same route that you're taking now. Good luck with it all.

I'm sure you'll do great at the shows. Looking forward to following this log!

Today was my first actual day of Summer work since school has ended. By the end of my 8hr. shift of being on my feet all day long my legs were killing me.


Question for the gurus in regards to how I could go about dosing my soon-to-arrive Shred-XS/Shred-XS HC stack.

I was thinking of either doing the following:

Preworkout: 2 Shred XS HC
Later in the Day: 2 Shred XS

or

Preworkout 1 Shred XS/1 S XS HC
Later: Same as preworkout


Anyone try either of those combinations? Did you find you liked one over the other--especially in terms of fat loss?

I actually prefer option A

Preworkout: 2 Shred XS HC
Later in the Day: 2 Shred XS

Especially if you are combining it with Cordygen5 or Cordygen-VO2 to make your cardio more effective fat burning wise.

That's the option I was leaning towards. I will have to give that a shot, especially w/ the added C5 or CVO2

Didn't have much time to update as of late. Been picking up a few extra shifts at work in an attempt to make some extra money to help pay for school.

Sadly, today will be my last high(er) carb day until peak week.

Got my Shred-XS Hardcore along with a few other MST samples and cannot wait to try it out tomorrow.
