JLinteris's 'get shredded' 3 month run with EPI-V

[jlinteris]

12 week diet, supplementation & exercise log:
Start Date: 04-04-2011
Run by: Jordan Linteris

Supplements:
Weeks 1 - 7 using Finaflex EPI-V (2 capsules twice per day for 7 wks)
Weeks 7 - 12 using Finalflex Puretest (2 caps, 3x daily)
Weeks 1 - 12 using Finaflex PCT Revolutions (2 capsules per day for 12 wks)
Weeks 1 - 12 use a basic E.C.A stack, 2 weeks on/1 off
Weeks 1 - 12 using Kaizen isolate protein (1.5 scoops three times per day for 12 wks)
Weeks 1 - 12 using Finaflex’s N.O. Ignite (1-2 scoops per day pre workout)

I am currently 40 days into a cyclical ketogenic diet and have lost a total of 20 pounds so far. I need something to help speed up the progress and motivate me. In comes the redefine stack! I will be using this diet during the duration of the cut as it seems to give good results, plus I can handle it. I don't freak out from having my carbs to low. My body handles it well.

Diet will consist of 6 meals a day. 3 of which will come from an isolate protein powder, and the other three will come from lean meat, eggs and green veggies. Extra virgin olive oil will be used to get my fat to where it needs to be as well

Standard diet.
1- 1.5 scoops Kaizen isolate w/ 1 TBS EVOO

2- 6 whole eggs cooked in 1 TBS EVOO

3- Large tuna salad with ranch dressing

4- 1.5 scoops Kaizen isolate

5- 300g ground turkey and green veggies

6- 1.5 scoops Kaizen isolate

Also, I drink between 8-12L of water a day, everyday.

Total
256 protein
113g fat
8-15g carbs (trace)

2200-2300 cals.
Starting Stats:
Height - 74 in.
Bodyweight - 237.8 lbs
Lean Body Mass - unknown
Body Fat % - Guessing 16%- 20% I will let you guys tell me where I am.


Goals for this diet are the maintain as much of the muscle I have put on during this bulk as possible while stripping bodyfat. This will be a first time PH run for me ever. I am a basic multi/vitimin and protein shake guy so having an arsenal of supps like this to demo out has got me pretty damn pumped.

Workouts will be as follows

Monday -Chest/Back/Traps

Tuesday-Quads/Hamstrings

Wednesday- Fasted cardio

Thursday- Shoulders/Biceps/Triceps/Abs

Friday- Back/Traps/Calves

Saturday- OFF and Refeed for Keto diet (1000g carbs)

Sunday- Fasted cardio.

Each workout has an insane ammount of volume and minimal rest between sets as you will see. They really test you both mentally and physically at times. Tommorow a.m will be the start of the EPI-V so I better post my current photos for my starting point.

Anything I missed should be added in the next post of two. Tommorow is my leg marathon workout!

Nice hat! Lol thought you were gonna log aps?

Is this your first pro hormone?

I am naked without it! It is like your white towel. LOL. I was going to log APS and have the option of logging them as a PCT for this. Instead I will pass it on to Punthra (APS gave me permission) and he can do it. I really wanted to log it but it has been almost 2.5 months since I applied and I really want to get some new motivation for the gym.

As for the pro-hormone... this is the first time I have done anything of this nature. Previously it was protein and multivitimins and A LOT of food. I really want to see how lean I can get this year since I have the time to do it for once and a cutter PH like this should help get me there. Last few years I was working 80+ hours per week so the thought of dieting was impossible. Helped me put a lot of muscle on. Now I just have to reveal what I have built. Soon enough I too might have a white towel pic

I'm in for the ride man!

You may have a white towel avatar one day but you will never have a cool flag pic like this LOL!

Glad to have you here. Not too sure about that goofy looking flag you are waving towards me though. Where is the Maple Leaf on it and why is there blue on it?

[punthra]

Hey since you need to post some photos for Testalensis I am thinking you should custom order a Canadian Flag thong.

[punthra]

It was suggested to me from a representitive of the company to do so to avoid being shutdown.

Day 2 of 90
April 6th, 2011
BW 237.2

I realized yesterday that I havent really dropped a good bomb since over eating pizza pops on my Saturday refeed day. I am thinking the cheese bunged me up. lol. I took a natural laxative tea last night and this am made a medievil moat in the toilet. Tommorow's BW will be lower.

Well my back is pretty tight from yesterday's tweak, my c7 pinch (from 7 weeks ago) had pain radiating through my shoulder blade so I was up from 1-5am and I now have the flu. LOL. My kids have been really sick for 6 days and now I finally got it.
I am guessing everything painwise is amplified from the sickness as I feel like I was run over. However, I will not miss a day and will hit the weights on designated days even if the weight handled is poor. I am more focused on burning the calories, rather than getting stronger.

Fasted cardio
Stairstepper x 30 minutes
500 calories

Abs
6x25 reps crunches, all held at contraction.

Done. Wednesday is always a cardio/abs day so it will stay this way through the program. The stepper was insanely difficult as my lungs were having issues keeping up and were on fire. I am going to sweat this sickness out.

Meal 1- 6 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, 1 TBS EVOO

Meal 2- 1.5 scoops isolate, 1 TBS EVOO

Meal 3- tuna salad

Meal 4- 1.5 scoops isolate, 1 TBS EVOO

Meal 5- Veggies and lean ground turkey

Meal 6- 1.5 scoops isolate, 1 TBS EVOO

On a plus note I would rather get this sickness and back tweak out of the way at the start.

[punthra]

Damn...Stay away from me, i can't afford to catch the flu before i leave.....

[jlinteris]

Already told Brendan that. I will not be training with you for the next 2 days. I will go up to the Hart gym and get those farmers sick.haha. I wouldn't **** up your trip, brotha.

[ScottyDoc]

I am in for sure, great log so far, just one quick question: How are you taking the PURE TEST? 2 caps 3 x's a day for a total of 6 caps per day? That is how I took it and recommend it, just wasn't sure from your original post as to how you were taking it! Awesome log thought, can't wait to see the weekly progress picts!!!
