So here it goes.. My first post to this board. This will be my log of running Anabeta and Shift together.
GOAL:
Less than thirty days away is a big get together with many old friends over the years for a weekend boating trip. I want to lean out, maintain muscle and show some good musculature for the trip.
Past History:
I am not a body builder, not looking to compete. I work out and exercise for health reasons. I don't understand a lot of the lingo on this board to be honest, like PCT and stuff mentioned in other threads. I haven't used any other supplements other than the run of the mill whey and BCAA. I believe I will be a good test of the Anabeta and Shift products.
Workout:
I lift with weights in my garage. I don't belong to a gym. I have a nice setup with a smith machine and other equipment. I perform all the basic exercises/lifts. I like to split my workout into four weight lifting sessions a week. Two heavy and two light. Heavy early in the week and light at the end. Kind of an upper body one day and lower body the next split.
Chest / Shoulder / Back
Legs / Deadlift / Bi-Tri
Diet:
I follow the LeanGains style fasting from 8pm to Noon the next day. First meal is a meat/veg combo. Workout days I drink a Whey shake on the way home from work then lift when I get home around 5-6pm. After workout I eat dinner a meat/fruit combo and usually a cookie or something sweet. Most calories are consumed close to my workout.
Weekends are a mixed bag because I will eat out with my wife and Saturdays I will eat breakfast if bike riding Mt. Diablo, which will burn close to 2000 calories.
I plan to eat maintenance calories, which for me will be around 2000-2200.
Body Comp:
Measurements taken in non-pumped state.
Age: 42
Height 5'8"
Weight 160 (wet)
wrist 6.5
Ankle 9.5
Arm 16"
Chest 41.5"
Leg 21.5"
Waist 34" (taken at belly button, I wear 32 pants)
I've read in Beyond Brawn that these numbers are pretty close to my genetic potential as a natural athlete. I think they were the John McCallum's formula. I would be pretty happy to get bigger.
Dosing:
Shift will be taken in the morning when I wake up and when I get home from work around 5:30 pm. Two pills.
Anabeta will be dosed one pill four times a day, spread as evenly as I can through the day.
Pictures:
Not the best lighting but will give something to compare at the end.
I started dosing yesterday. Man the hunger thing got me. We happened to order a pizza for dinner and I pounded a bunch of it. Today I worked out light legs / Bi - Tri along with some ab work. I didn't deadlift because I had stuff to get done. I had a whey shake after workout. Lunch was eggs and ham. Dinner is a Bison patty with fruit. Wife made brownies for my treat..
Anything I am missing?
