I can't say cause idk where you're at now, but thank you. It's been a long time, nearly ten years training.. People think gains happen overnight.Also thanks for the input on the glu

Oh, I meant that you have me beat in terms of the skinny factor starting out. I'm 140 now 7 weeks out from comp. after 7 years of training, so it's safe to say we've both added a good bit of weight. Absolutely, it's such a painfully slow process lol.

I was so skinny and small it's disgusting.
Hell, i'm still pretty small.

Anyway, do you have your own log for your prep? I'd like to follow.

Edit: I feel like i'm beating a dead horse here but my muscle fullness is stupid for such a low carb day. I'm staying relatively dry and vascularity is about the same (it's been high cause I've been lean)

[atanocc]

Late subbed . Lookin good in here. Leaning up real good brotha! Stay grindin

[aceroni]

Todays diet will be very similar to yesterday. Only difference is breakfast.
Doing a little less carbs today. We're going to be grilling out at work tomorrow and I plan on eating like a regular person so i'm keeping calories slightly lower and my only carbs tomorrow will be at said bbq.

M1
3 whole eggs
3/4c whites
Small sweet potato (~30g)

M2-M4 are the same as yesterday

I do, but it's on the USPlabs home board. Not sure if I am allowed to post the link in here so I'll PM it to you. I'd love to have you follow. Beating a dead horse? No such thing...that just means the fullness really is THAT good.

Exactly what I was thinking. the addition of Italian chicken sausage is brilliant.

I saw somewhere you said you use AP only before cheats while dieting. Tried that today.


Took AP before grilling at work. Had a cheat consisting of the stuff in the above post.

I filled out nicely and vascularity is pretty high probably higher than normal, plus I'm still quite dry.

Worked like a charm.

M1
Two whole eggs 1c white
2c basmati

2 scoops c4 pre
2 scoops mbcaa intra
-c4 gave me a little energy but I just had trouble focusing. might have to do with the fact that I got only 5hrs of sleep

M2/post
2 scoops pro
50g waxy maize

M3
2.5 c basmati
8Oz chicken

Trained some legs today.

Standing unilateral free motion leg curls (3 angles)
60x8
70x8x3

-did eight reps at each angle per set
- kept constant tension on the hams

Ssb
265x8
285x6
305x6
325x5
325x4

My hips were incredibly tight today so I brought my stance in and did these on more of a constant tension as well..
I believe this led to me falling forward slightly bc my low back was too pumped.
I felt tighter with heavier weight last week.. damn.

Unilateral leg press
5p x15
6p x15x2
one dropset from 6p down to 2p

-these were also done with constant tension focusing on quad

Ghr x10x3

Donkey calf ss dorsiflexion ss standing calf

3 sets reverse hyper ss standing abs grey average band

Oh I would use it every day if I could, but yes AP is a NECESSITY before cheat meals.

I filled out so much overnight..

I weighed 183 after m1.. Forgot to weigh before.. looking leaner then before yet bigger. I know my diet is the key factor for this but it seems that the addition of AP is helping this along

Lookin strong brotha. Any strength increases on AP?

Lookin strong brotha. Any strength increases on AP?

Well my last deadlift and squat power days I've done more than I ever have at 180~ lb
475 x1x2 pull at 181 vs 475x3 at 210~
And squat:
375 x2 x2 vs 400 x3 at the respective weights

These are both roughly two months after tearing my ham.
Other than feeling weak today, I'd say strength is on the rise brother

Wow so you kept alot of ur strength or even gained if any.. ESP on a cal restriction I'm assuming?? Good shyt brotha .. Might have to give this supp a try. Beenstallin on buying/trying anything new due to money bein tight right now so gotta get only the essentials

I'd give it a go, especially if you haven't tried a GDA before and/or if you have endomorphic tendencies.

Definitely have endomorphic tendencies . Only thing I've really tried was supplementing R-ala but didnt find to much affect to it . Might try this one tho. Seems like something I could put good use to

[breezy11]

I'd give it a go, especially if you haven't tried a GDA before and/or if you have endomorphic tendencies.

It's a great time to pick some up as well. AP is still available as a part of the OxyELITE Protein bundle stack at NutraPlanet. Both products plus samples for $40.

Nice work Ace!

That deal is to insane to pass up. I scooped quite a few of them

[aceroni]

Sorry about the lack of updates i've been up North all week. Diet stayed pretty close, but I let myself eat a few things I normally wouldn't. I.e. hash browns and bread..i had waffles one day with home made strawberry jam.

Anyways even after all that I am still looking lean and even dry

Did train up North. Will update that later

Homemade jam is the best! My sister grows and cans all kinds of things. Homemade apple sauce, jam, tomato sauce, pickled anything...

That jam was equivalent to crack, I couldn't stop eating.

Well macros have been staying the same as planned.
Only change was yesterday and today i've had maybe 70g carbs as opposed to the usual 30- 50

I'm surprised at how well my body took on the extra calories /foods from up North. I'm much Fuller. I'm holding a TINY bit more water but from what I can see there is minimal to no fat gain.

Great to hear man. Sounds like everything is going well. Do you know if you've added any weight at this point?

[aceroni]

my weight has been fluctuating around 181-183.

I already ate today so I'll weigh myself Monday morning before food, the usual time.

I definitely look and feel full most of the time though. I know it's because i'm leaner but my chest definitely pops more, making it look bigger..

Well everything looks more round but my chest is most noticeable

Edit : my pants are all looser
