[packers6211]

Awesome comp and congrats on the gig!! Gota send some vids for use to download!! Get us Pumped to kill the weights. Bro check your pm I'm in heaven right now.

Day 32

Ordered up my BCAAs and some other goodies. We had a gig last night and it was fugging awesome. The crowd was so into the music...unbelievable. I ate most of may calories at my fast breaker because I knew I would have time to eat later.

As for training...I didn't go to the gym, but the half hour set we played was probably more than enough. I don't recall a dry area to be found ony shirt...not to mention it was about 90 degrees in the place venue.

As for 550-XD...I do not think the recomp properties have ceased. I am starting to get comments and people are seeing changes. One of the dudes in my band was like...dude you are way leaner than you were last week wtf hahaha!

Oh but turns out that his starting was more like 17.5 but still that's 5 percent in 24 days...

[TurningGreen]

I will get yesterdays update up soon. AM was down yesterday. Weight is 217 BF% is 12. Looks like things are slowing down here planning to add DMZ at 15mg on Friday.

WooHoo! I am hoping my EPIVAR shows up this week so I can hit that ish up. Your pics look good though Green, I am surprised at only a .2 bf loss, this is why everyone says calipers can be tricky too. Taking the pinch even 1 inch away from the place you took it last time can add a mm or two and that is enough to change the body fat measurement substantially.

I think it's mainly a calorie deal. This is the first time I've ever gone this high calories wise so the whole 550-XD cycle was almost like a clean bulk/recomp. I think the calorie slash the DMZ and the new training protocol will dramaticly alter the way things are progressing. It's time to strip it all off!

Day 34

Nothing has changed with supplementation. I was planning on adding DMZ into the mix tomorrow, but I am certain I will be hearing from the Fire Department I applied to and in no way do I want to throw my chances of being a successful candidate out the window. I have a few more days of 550-XD left and it looks like I will be moving into PCT. I will still be participating in the competition...but with out any PHs...this will probably spell defeat for me, but I will still do my best.

Yup. I believe man!
I'm battling flex and he's on a load of goodies. I'm using albuterol and anabeta
If I win it'll be amazing. But I think we are both big enough to not lose too much muscle while destroying fat.

[packers6211]

TurningGreen!!! Nice very nice workout on the db's man. Also what ever you say bro don't and I mean don't ever say the words defeat. Take that sorry a$$ word out of your vocab. You just keeping beasting it like you do and you will get there brother.

Day 34

Nothing has changed with supplementation. I am already seeing a difference in body composition with the changes I have made in my caloric intake. I finally got some BCAAs back into the mix (bulk modern grapple) I was pretty surprised with the quality of this product. The taste I would give a solid 8 and the solubility I would give a 9.5 (I use room temp water). Besides the addition of the BCAAs I am still considering the DMZ as I got some new information pertaining to its usage. Also I will be adding in some Liv. 52 liver detox and Taurine pending my decision on DMZ. The DMZ will be no longer than a 4 week cycle at 15-30mg.

20 reps per lift taking no more than 30 seconds rest between lifts repeat for 3 rotations.
