Chainlink's BPS Dermacrine Log

[ChainLink]

Big thanks to BPS for sponsoring this log. This will be an 8 week run of Dermacrine (bought one bottle and another on the way from BP). I will also be running Erase at 50mg/day to start and will switch to AD-3 at 2 caps/night for the second bottle of dermacrine.

Other supplements/staples being used:

• Bulk Modern BCAA 10-20g/d
• Orange Triad 4/d
• Oximega Fish Oils 2g/d
• Magnesium 300mg/d
• Zinc 50mg/d
• Ephedrine/Caffeine 2x's/day, M-F only

Goal during this run will be to drop a few % in BF, increase strength and maintain LBM. I've been training using a 3 day split/DC style of workout for about 3 weeks now and loving it. Calories on anaerobic days have been ~3500 (40c/30p/30f) and on non-anaerobic days ~2500 (15c/40p/45f). I started slow with adding cardio into the mix to see how my recovery would come along. Cardio is now 30 minutes LISS 3 days/week. I plan to start upping the intensity on the cardio. My biggest hurdle is remaining disciplined with my diet. Training is focused at this point, but diet is what gets me at times (carb cravings, insulin insensitivity).


Current Stats
33 yrs old
217lbs
~18% BF according to cheap Accumeasure calipers using only the Suprailiac fold.

Measurements

• Neck 17.75"
• Chest 46"
• Rt Bicep 17.25"
• Lt Bicep 17.5"
• Rt Forearm 15"
• Lt Forearm 15"
• Rt Upper Leg 25"
• Lt Upper Leg 25.5"
• Rt Calve 19"
• Lt Calve 19"
• Waist at navel 39"

Starting Pics and today's workout numbers to follow. Looking forward to criticism and encouragement as I'm ready to make some significant changes.

Are you planning on running anything after the dermacrine? I am thinking about hitting a bottle for 4 weeks in a couple months, definitely Subd in

[tallguy34]

Subbed! Let's see a good log brother!

Not sure how I'll lay out my post dermacrine supplements, but I got a good selection... 2 tubs DAA, 2 bottles of OG Anabeta, 1 bottle of AE, 1 bottle of Compound 20, and Alphamine. Will probably continue with the AD3 during the DAA.

Sorry about the quality. I only have access to an iphone camera at the moment and when resizing it really lost even more quality. I should be getting a better camera soon, or I will need to get in better lighting. But these should be ok to start.

[tallguy34]

How tall are you?

Damn bro! What's your goal weight? 217 is pretty stacked. If you could add another 10lbs ans drop to single digits you'd be beast mode!!

To drop to single digits (9%) and keep my current body weight would require a gain of 20lbs of LBM.lol I'd be happy at 205/10% in 6 months.

[tallguy34]

Either one. Lol. You'd still be pretty bad ass.

I'm 6'7" and 243lb now. Probably 17-18% bf, look less due to my height. I wanna get to 260-270 and 13%. Lol. So that's a huge increase as I'm through with the bulk and cut approach will take some time. Its all about the perpetual recomp now.

IF diet starts today. 10g BCAA and 20 min LISS + 5x 30s Sprints at about 80-90% (starting slow with these).

Today's Dietary Breakdown
90g fat
35g cho
200g prot
~1700cals

From here on out I'm thinking of keeping cals/carbs low (~2000) on cardio days and 3000 on lifting days with moderate carb/high prot/moderate fats.

[jwa254]

Love IF/LG. Let's do work!

Looks like you have a solid routine and recomp regimen set up. I'm looking forward to the progress you'll make in this log.

[oufinny]

You are running similar calorie setup to me. I shoot for 2200 on off days and ~3000 on workout days. I am normally low on off days and close on build days, seems to average out well if I go over. Your macro setup is very similar to mine as well.
