Nah, I just missed the question.

I was taking ALA right before my workout about 20-30 minutes prior. My meals with PSlin were about 1-1.5 hours pre workout.

I've updated my procedure to taking ALA with my post workout shake and AP before my meal about an hour later...

Interesting...I haven't really incorporated anything like that into what I'm currently doing, but I'm not opposed to it either...

~I'm about mid way through my strength progression and feeling much better this time through. I'm not lifting at 100% intensity yet, but it is coming soon...then hopefully some PRs! I feel some coming with lower body...not so much with my presses as they still feel relaitvely weak for me. Diet, honestly has been a little sporatic, but I have things in line now. Cals bumped up to 3K, and bodyweight holding nicely at 214-215. Time to GROW!

Ive always gone by the notion that if fats fall below fifteen percent for a natural bodybuilder testostrone levels drop. Have you heard this ?

Im at 216 with more bodyfat than you at Six foot three. and possibly smaller joints my wrist is around seven. Kep it up very inspiring and so are the video's on the life of a natural pro show. Cheers Your Famous Now Congrads. Ever think of getting into the The Entertainment Industry, specially Tv , Movies, Commercials or Modeling? This is a goal of mine. Ive auditioned for a few Reality Tv shows and some modeling gigs. anyways If any of us can make it happen Itd be great to do a reality Tv show or just a Tv show(even a movie) on Natural bodybuilding. Id like to do a Tv show..and actually do the prep and everything and do the contest and the winner of the show takes home a certain amount of money. Maybe Layne, you and Myself can get this going. I can talk to an agent if your Interested. I sure as hell am.

Im so nice to you because your a positive role model. amd I enjoy positive friends. Cheers

Definitly an inspiration every time i hit one of your posts.. Your making great progress!

Yes, I have and it really is a legitimate concern. I'll never drop below 18%, but usually keep it around 20% of total calories...

I've been working on getting in theentertainment industry for a few years. It's so competitive that you really have to have superior networking and know the right people. I'm told all the time I have the look and charisma, but yet, my agent can't lock anything down for me

I'd love to do a docu-drama like that...let me know if you can get anyone on board...and thanks for the kind words!

Thanks!

The T-Force was part of a natural test boosting stack with USP Labs TNA and Bolic...

All I can say is that my libido is through the roof! I don't get tests that measure anything, so all I can say is the difference I've noticed since taking the "stack"

I'm 27 and I feel like my sexual peak is just beginning...

~Bodyweight - 215lbs.

~Strength is up in EVERY exercise. I'll probably see a stall next hypertrophy workout, as I am really struggling at the top of the rep range for most exercises, but I'm happy to see the weights I'm using. I'm nearly up where i was in April and I'm still 35lbs less. Good stuff. Legs hypertrophy today. This time I have straps and plan on busting out some heavier weights on the SLDLs...

~Bodyweight - 217lbs.

~Training felt great today! Honestly, I think I could have busted out 10+ reps on the SLDL, but I ended up saving a little on the first set (and the next set) to get all my sets in the 8-10 rep range. I think if I had really pushed it on the first set, I wouldn't have gotten all the sets in the rep range I wanted. I didn't have a good glute ham setup at this gym, so I just did leg curls. My calves feel like they are getting stronger too. I'm holding a count at the top and pausing at the bottom. Just some cardio tonight...as much as I hate it, I always love it when I'm finished...
