Supplements :
PES Alpha T2

PES Anabeta
PES Erase Pro

OxyElite Pro - for now. May switch to ECA stack later or just add Primatene tabs.

ABOUT me :

Im 40 years old. weigh 223lbs. I have built up some good foundation having played Rugby since elementary school. i started to focus more on bodybuilding about 10 years ago as i eased off from competitive rugby. My goal then was to just stay fit & healthy. July last year i was hospitalised. For a whole month the little i ate either went right through or i threw it back up. I lost 50lbs of mass dropping from 220 to 170lbs. i bounced back quite quick from that eating anything and everything in sight. So now im at 223lbs of muscle and a good amount of fat. I started my cut yesterday with the above supplements.

Training:
Cardio first thing AM a mix of HIIT & LISS - M, T, W, Th, Fr, Sat
Weights PM.
mon - chest/tri
tues - back/bi
weds - legs
thurs - shoulders
fri - arms
sat - any lagging areas

GOAL - drop to below 10% body fat in 12 weeks.
- lose 10 inches from around the waistline 43 to 33 inches
- maintain/build muscle as i lose fat

DIET - I am somewhere between MESO & ENDO. through trial and error over the years, my body works optimally on Dr Pasquale's METABOLIC DIET - high protein, high fat & 0 - 30g of carb per day.

For the last 4 weeks i have been on a 3600 cal diet per day - 60% fat (270g) and 40% protein (360g) and less than 30g of carbs. I carb load once a week - on sundays eating as much carbs as i can and very little fat. The reason for high fat as per Dr Pasquale is to get the body to switch from using carbs as energy to using fat. This is not for everybody. Some folks work well on high carbs, some don't. I don't, being that i am very carb sensitive. I put on weight/fat FAST even on a moderate carb diet.

Starting Monday, i am decreasing my fat intake to 170g per day. (100g less than the last 4 weeks).
Protein will be maintained at 360g per day.
Carbs still be 0 - 30g per day.
Carb load on sunday - mix of both fast & slow carbs.

Every week, ill drop my fat intake more, so my body can tap into its fat storage for energy as per 'Cutting on the Metabolic Diet"

STATS

Day 2 - feb 14 2012.

strength is normal. yesterday was back/bi day. just the 2nd day on my cut/cut stack.
dumbell rows . pyramid up to 125lbs dumbells - did 2 sets x 7 reps on that weight. normal. its just the 2nd day as i said.
i then jumped on the iso lateral dy machine - pyramid up to 5, 45lb plates per side. 225lbs total per side. managed 5 reps rowing one side at a time. been a while since i attempted that weight.

the change ive noticed so far on day 2 is increase in thirst & hunger. usually on the metabolic diet, the high fat keeps you satiated so you dont feel hungry. But day 2 im feeling ravenous when i wake up in the morning and in between meals. And dramatic increase in thirst. From the reviews ive read on PES supps, thats due to ANABETA.

glad im feeling something.

DAY 2 ... so far so good.

[mattkill]

day 3 - feb 15, 2012

leg day ! am cardio ... HIIT 20 MINS

PM - Leg press - pyramid up to 1010lbs - 11 45lb plates plus 1 10lb plate per side. completed 2 sets at that weight 8 reps each.
that weight is normal for me ...... legs is my strongest. unfortunately i don't do squats as much due to rugby knee injury so i try to go heavy as i can on leg presses.

if i can easily press 12 45lb plates per side or even 13 in the coming weeks, that will be a new PR - and being that the only change is addition of the PES supps, then ill credit PES for that. We'll see.

leg press, 3 sets hack squat, leg extensions, calf raises. Good sweat. good leg day.

subbed!

thanks braz ! your insights & advice very much appreciated !

[WeaponX1984]

Subbed. I have the Erase pro and shift being delivered today so I will be doing something similar, looking forward to seeing how you progress with Alpha T2 and anabeta added in. I cant mess with the Alpha T2, I kept getting sinus problems and headaches from the Rauwolscine HCl.. its a shame because it seemed to work just couldnt take the sides...

thats too bad man. have you tried easing slowly into it? 1 per day for starters? i tell you what - try this mind trick. Just convince yourself that you're not get sides from it. So take it AND DO NOT expect the sides. I usually do that with supps & allergies. I used to have bad pollen allergies evry spring. One day i just got too tired of the wheezing & watery eyes, so i walked out the door one of those bad days, took 10 deep breaths with 100% defiance telling myself that i wont be allergic no more to pollen - that cured me on the spot !!! lolz.

[thebigt]

you have some lofty goals....but a hellova supp lineup...put in the work and you can do it-GOOD LUCK!!!!

I wish that was the case. Yeah Ive tried it in a number of things, Alphaburn/Heat Stack/OEP had to stop them all. i actually have unopened bottles still sitting in my place because I cant use it. My only thought is maybe running it with a Bronkaid or Primatene for the added guaf, but I will just have to do it with diet and hardER work I guess

I had GREAT results with Erase/Shift awhile back, you'll definitely get solid results without sides

Thanks "TheBigT" . appreciate that. It's finally time i get down to it, get below 10%, then to 5% & step on stage.

then stay with SHIFT. 1 pill has 150 mcg of 3,3-diiodo-l-thyronine , the same amount in Alpha T2. Speaking of Bronkaid/caffeine (EC). i started that today, Monday Feb 20.

Day 7 - Sunday Feb 19, 2012.

Sunday's my CARB LOAD DAY !
started day with 45 mins LISS cardio.

MEASUREMENTS before CARB LOAD:

WAIST LINE - 41.75 !!! down from 43 inches 6days ago! I'm friggin stoked y'all !

WEIGHT - 227.6LBS UP from 223lbs 6 days ago!! lolz. Well, problem was, i used a manual scale on Mon 13th that gave me 223lbs. Sunday, i stepped on an electronic scale which was more accurate - Which means that i really weighed about 229/230 when i started.
Fact is, i'm not really concerned about my weight. As long as i am losing inches where i need to, im happy with that. Hey, 220lbs at 7% bodyfat aint bad at all esp if the goal is to compete ..... But i'll still be weighing in every Sunday .....

[nattydisaster]

Hell yea!!

Yeah I saw that, thats what made me pick it up. This stuff worked well for me in the past, it was just more of a thought about not having the stims haha.


And I saw the results, good stuff, keep it up!

Subbed man. Anabeta, alpha T2, and revamp were the sh*t in my opinion. I'm looking forward to see how this goes for you.

[mattkill]

Hell yea!!
