Additional Notes:
Today was my first day on DCP. Nothing significant to report with the exception of the significant boost of endurance I got during both my cardio and weight training sessions. I'm already enjoying this product because it gives me that much needed drive to push myself in my workouts. To be more descriptive, its not the feeling of a CNS stimulant one would experience. Its more of a drive to "complete the task" type of feeling. DCP is a nice alternative for those who are burned out on the stimulant based products. Other than that I have nothing out of the norm to report. Sleep is good as usual. No abnormal sweats. Start photos have been taken however I will not post these until the conclusion of my bottle of DCP along with the "end" photos.

Sunday, May 25th

Workout:
Cardio consisted of 40 minutes of cycling. Alternating moderate to high intensity.

RPN Supplementation:

11AM: 3 caps before cardio session
4PM: 2 caps
11PM: 2 caps

Diet
1st day back on the Ketogenic Diet
Daily Protein Intake: 195 grams
Daily Fat Intake: 118 grams
Daily Carb Intake: Under 15 grams (Fibrous Vegetable)

Additional Notes:
I had a fantastic cardio session today. For cardiovascular work, I do the 24hour Fitness cycling classes for 40 minutes. Prior to taking RPN, I would sweat a lot. Best damn cardio I've done to date to be honest.
Today there was a noticeable difference in the spinning class today. I experienced more endurance during the 40 minute session. Usually I'm beat around the 30 minute mark & ready to walk out.
Another interesting note is that my t-shirt was drinched with water. More so than normal. Just to give you an idea, I usually wear a "wife beater" underneath my tshirt to catch the sweat and perspiration. After I concluded the cycling class, there was a noticeable imprint of my "wife beater" along with water/sweat outside the areas of A-Shirt.

Sounds like it is kicking in!

dsade · 05-26-2008, 11:17 AM

I can't even fathom doing something as intense as the 24-hour fitness spinning class after taking DCP....I would have to switch to a kayak halfway through.

Great intensity in those, though.

**Trauma1** · 05-26-2008, 11:40 AM

Awesome. Sounds like the endurance has picked it up a notch. DCP FTW!

*Body Stats Updated*
(Refer to first post)

I had my body fat checked this morning and was utterly disappointed. Before starting the Keto diet 4 weeks ago, I neglected to have it checked prior to starting this diet so it is unclear where I started out at. My disappointment is more in the fact that I discovered I was sitting at 27 percent and not the 20 I was guessing.

Oh well. Spilled milk. I will be bumping my cardio up to 4 to 5 days in the spinning class with 40 minute sessions. Weight Training will be done as a split with cardio with cardio being done in the morning and weight training done late evening.

Thanks for your support ladies and gents. This log is indeed therapy and holds me accountable.

Worry about the mirror, honestly...I found myself in a similar position as you a while back, and some honest looks at diet and supplement discipline got me moving on a fasttrack quite quickly.

It takes about a solid week and a half to become adjusted to the classes. Initially starting out, everything on your body will hurt from the waist down. Ass, calves, quads, and hamstrings if you don't properly stretch. Actually dcp makes the cycling class more bearable.

**Trauma1** · 05-26-2008, 11:38 PM

I've tried spinning and have determined it just isn't for me personally haha.

Keep up the good work brother!!
