Day 19:

Neck is feeling better, but will give myself a 2nd day off from the weights just to play it safe.

Did 10 miles bike this morning.

Gonna go out to dinner tonight to throw down the one cheat meal for the week.

Going to double up shoulders/back tomorrow full force.

[Clemenza]

Day 20:

Trained back.

Neck was feeling better so did light deads at the back end of my workout.

Lift was good, and had a solid pump.

Did 5 miles on my bike for cardio. (20 minutes)

Diet was solid keeping carbs at 200g and protein at 200g as well.

[Clemenza]

Day 21:

Complete day off today.

Ran a low calorie...
200g Protein / 130g Carbs / 100g Fat

Been eating greens with at least 2 meals every day for the past 2 weeks.

I'm still pretty flat right now, due to the low carbs. However, I still feel tighter and more pumped than I usually would.

My vascularity is also slightly more visible. But still mostly in my forearms.

For the past week, I forgot to mention, I am noticing increased recovery. I've been increasing the volume in most of my workouts and actually noticing I'm less sore.

Anyone else notice this while using C20?

I also started Super Cissus about 6 days ago, but not sure it could kick in that quickly.

Tomorrow is the 3 week mark. I'll be weighing in in the AM.

Definitely noticed an increase in how vascular I looked while on C20, can't really say my recovery changed though. I was doing circuit training when I ran it which no matter what I take crushes me so I'm not sure it would have made a difference. Nice updates man.

[Clemenza]

Day 22:

Forgot to weigh in this morning. Will weigh myself tomorrow morning.

Trained chest and shoulders today. I'm pretty depleted, but pump was still there and so was vascularity.
Because of my injuries flaring up I have not been training for strength, but instead have been keeping reps high and incorporating super sets/drop sets/high volume. I do feel stronger with more muscular endurance. Usually at this point in my cut I'm dragging, but I feel good right now. Nothing CRAZY though.

Did 20 minutes stair master for cardio. I really need to start bumping this up.
I'm not where I wanted to be at this point. I wanted to be in prime cutting shape by June 1st, at which point I'd up my carbs to around 200-400g to maintain, but keeping glycogen full. Plus starting Erase Pro / DAA.

It's hard to tell how well Compound 20 has worked in terms of "Cutting" me up. I've definitely lost weight, due to cardio and dropped calories. The pump and hardness is better than usual, but it's really hard to see significant changes until I carb back up. I always look like garbage when I'm running just 100-200g carbs a day.

Today carbs were at 200g. Tomorrow is a cardio day, I'm planning on keeping them at 150g or so. I'll probably keep them low as much as possible the next two weeks to really dial it in. Hate it.

thanks mate

I feel the same! And since I'm not using Super Cissus or any related product, I can say this is C20

For example: every Tuesday I play football (soccer) from 10pm to 0am (2 hours straight) and on the next day I always feel really tired (muscle and joint pain), especially when I have to wake up at 6am. BUT NOT TODAY I woke up at 7am and from 8 to 11am I cleaned the whole house... and I'm still "pumped"

[Clemenza]

Day 23:

Cardio day today. Did 5 miles on the bike (25 minutes) with HR at 100-120.

Protein today was 200g. Carbs only 60g. High fat.

Pretty depleted I hate it. Arms tomorrow and carb up.

Forgot to weigh myself again this morning. Will tomorrow morning.

[rome32]

Keep it up Clem. You're on track bud!

[strategicmove]

Hope all is well. Looking forward to an update.

[Clemenza]

Hope all is well. Looking forward to an update.

Just got home from a brief vacation last night. Left thursday night (day 24) in which I did arms, and took off friday saturday and sunday.

Needed to get away for the holiday weekend and recharge the batteries.

Hitting back tonight, and will post todays update.

Diet is still on point and haven't missed a dose of compound 20. Will be finishing up this week.

[AaronJP1]

C20 gives one hell of a pump huh?

[Clemenza]

Day 28:

Alright so as I mentioned I was on vacation this weekend. Thursday I shot down to my parents jersey shore house with my girl to get away for a few days. Trained arms early Thursday morning and just went through the motions trying to avoid back/neck pain as they were beginning to flare up last week.

I planned to lift while I was down there but instead just did some cardio and rested. Good thing I did because after 3 solid days off from lifting and mental stress I finally felt good by Sunday night when I came home. This morning I was both mentally and physically ready to hit the weights hard.

I had work today so I woke up at 4AM and got ready for the gym. NYSC opens 5AM. I took all my pre workout supps, my pre workout shake, and drove to the gym to find it CLOSED! I forgot it was memorial day and wack ass NYSC is always grimey with their holiday hours. lol

So instead I shot right to the gym after work to hit back.

Great workout today! I went in feeling completely refreshed.
Pull-Ups
Seated Chins
Behind the Neck Pulldowns
BB Rows supersetted with Light DB Rows
Rack Deads

Ended up being a little too much. When you've got nagging constant injuries, the days you actually feel 100%... you never want to leave the gym. Unfortunately I never took the advice, "Live to lift another day", and that's why I've gotten these injuries over the years. So I overdid it slightly today and in turn ended the workout with minor neck spasms and light mid back pain. Not bad at all though considering all I did. We'll see when I wake up tomorrow morning though.

I've also been taking Super Cissus. Not sure if it was the 3 days off, or Super Cissus, or both that led me to feel really good today. I'll contibute it to the Cissus if I can train 100% all this week, because I plan to go hard.

This weekend my diet was good in terms of macros. I did cheat once all 3 days. Carbs have been low.

Now, although my carbs have been low, my pump and vascularity was EXCELLENT today! Usually at this stage of the game, during my cut with carbs this low and mainly depleted of glycogen, I'm flat, as I've stated most of this log. I do believe this is the Compound 20.

I noticed this pump and tightness a week and a half into Compound 20 and it maintained. Last week, I began to feel this feeling slightly taper off. I figured my body may have been becoming tolerant to the Compound 20 already. However, I think this may have been because I was nursing some injuries and I was just going through the motions with my lifts. I have a few days left of Compound 20. I'm interested to see how my workouts go this week and how my body composition changes as I start implementing more carbs.

Today's diet looked like this:

1) Dymatize Whey / 8 oz. OJ (40g P / 30g C)
2) 5 Eggs / 1 cup Oats (35g P / 50g C / 25g F)
3) Turkey Burger / 1/4 cups Almonds (35g P / 20g F)
4) Dymatize Whey / 8 oz. OJ (25g P / 30g C)
5) Intra Workout (20g C)
6) Dymatize Whey / 1/2 cup Raisins (40g Whey / 60g C)
7) Grilled Chicken / 1/2 cup Brown Rice / 1 cup Broccoli (30g P / 60g C)
8) Grilled Chicken / 1/2 cup Brown Rice / 1 cup Broccoli (30g P / 60g C)

235g P / 310g C / 45g F


Chest Tomorrow

C20 gives one hell of a pump huh?

Yeah I do believe it does. Have you used it?

[AaronJP1]

Yeah I do believe it does. Have you used it?

Yeah I logged it.

It's makes me full as hell.
I actually like the product.

[Clemenza]

Since using c20 I have kept my carbs lower than usual for the most part, while carb cycling. Usually when I do this I am flat and just dragging. Hate it. But c20 has left me having more endurance during my workouts. And especially a pump that I never have while this low on carbs, and it is much different than a glycogen pump.

This week, my fourth week, I am bringing carbs back up. Interested to see what happens.

[breezy11]

Have you leaned out a decent amount on your cut at this point?

[Clemenza]

Have you leaned out a decent amount on your cut at this point?

Yes. To what extent I'm not sure yet. I'm starting to bring the carbs back up this week so I will be able to see the improvements after muscle glycogen comes back.

I've made some changes to my cutting routine with the advice of a lot of guys in this thread.

Increased greens.
Kept protein no higher than 1.5g per pound.
Increased BCAA

I've been doing Cardio but have not fully even dialed in with it yet

[Clemenza]

Day 29:

Very sore today! I definitely over did it yesterday, too many sets.

I felt VERY hard and tight today. Pump was very good all day. I actually had 3 people on 3 seperate occasions today at work tell me I look bigger. Always a good feeling.

Trained chest today. Solid workout, but CNS was burnt. Strength was down, but that's because my entire body was sore from yesteday's workout. Still have very good pumps in the gym. Also did cardio. 7 mile bike ride.

Diet was EXACTLY the same as yesterday. I'm beginning to carb back up. Hope to see some leanness by the end of the week.

Tomorrow is my last day of Compound 20, and it's a pure cardio day. I'm going to give my final review at the end of the week, after I am carbed back up, that way I can take pics and really see any composition changes, which I believe may be there.

Nice man! I hit chest and Triceps...literally just got to the car.

How many miles do you do a week Cardio wise?

[Clemenza]

Nice man! I hit chest and Triceps...literally just got to the car.

How many miles do you do a week Cardio wise?

Around 5-10 miles a day. So 35-70 a week in the summer months. I live right on the beach and the boardwalk so it depends on the weather, how much time I have, and how many girls are out in their bathing suits.

I love riding the bike. My body can't take high impact sprinting or even long periods of jogging anymore.

Either way the ladies are some good motivation!

And that's pretty far man.

Day 30:

Alright so this is it! My last day dosing Compound 20. It was a cardio only day for me today.

Woke up at 6am, threw 2 scoops Modern BCAA in a 1 liter bottle of water, 3g Beta Alanine, 1g ALCAR and biked 7 miles (35 minutes).


Diet today:

1) Dymatize Whey / 8 oz. OJ / 1 Slice Ezekial Bread (40g P / 45g C)
2) 5 Eggs (35g P / 25g F)
3) Grilled Chicken / 1/4 cup Almonds (35g P / 20g F)
4) Dymatize Whey / 1/2 cup Brown Rice / 1 cup Broccoli (35g P / 60g C)
5) Grilled Chicken / 1/2 cup Brown Rice / 1 cup Broccoli (35g P / 60g C)
6) Dymatize Whey / 1/4 cup Almonds (35g P / 20g F)
Totals: 215g P / 165g C / 65g F

Low carb, low calorie day.

Felt very hard and pumped all day today, much like I did yesterday. Vascularity and overall results have gotten progressively better over the past 4 weeks. I definitely lost a little bit of fat, but did diet hard and do cardio.

I'm going to write up a detailed final review and take "After" pics either tomorrow or Friday.

[Clemenza]

I've been noticing significantly greater vascularity, especially this week. More so than usual.
I took these pics today. This is usually the vascularity I get during a workout, and I did not even lift today.

[Clemenza]

In the middle pic you can kind of see a thin vein forming. This is actually new.

[ludbg]

I say continue another month

[wasme]

Gotta love seeing road maps when you haven't been to the gym!
