You should also add your height to your stats. So your idea of a re-comp is a lean bulk, cutting cycle? which one is it, and what are your goals exactly besides keeping your waist small ( freakazoid) Instead how about you make those lats grow huge and you will still have a small waist in appearance, YOur not a little girl ya know you are a man! MEN NEED BEEF! lol

Don't you worry bro ;) I got it all handled. I still go 5 times a week, and everything is going well. I just come back from gym and it has been great.. I just cannot walk normally right now ;) It's just that I worked 7:15 - 9:15 yesterday, and no, I was not able to get up at 5:00, else I would have burned myself.

DAY 9

This was a so-so workout. I was in a hurry, and had to go train at 5:30 am, I just finished work, so it was a long day.

I did
BACK
T-bar rows 45, 80, 80, 80 8-10 reps
Dumbell rows 25, 25, 25, 25 8-10 reps
Wide grip lat pulldowns 120, 120, 120, 120 8-10 reps

This is all I did today, but the intensity was all there. I am starting to experience better, deeper sleep while on this product. In fact, I got to bed at 8:30 and slept all the way til 5:00, which is decent night's rest. I hope that it will be the same for this night.

DAY 10

I was waking up this morning a lot rested. I really like the better sleep effects of this product.

I did:
TRICEPS
Close-grip bench 115, 125, 125, 95 8-10 reps
High pulley presdowns 60, 60, 60, 60 8-10 reps
Lying dumbell raises 20, 20, 20, 20 8-10 reps

Side bent 30, 35, 35, 35 20 reps

I feel pretty optimistic, and less tired while on this product. I firmly beleive that it can also be helpful for those who work crazy hours, and still find the intensity in the gym (like me) Thumbs up!:thumbsup:

Jjohn,


Why dont you have your food seperated into meals? Its just one big blob for the day? If you are really serious about growth you will see that you must put some time into a better laid out meal plan. Do you realize my lifts are very comparable to yours??? and Im a woman of 43 years! That just started training in february of this year....... You need to eat, I think your just putting it out there like that becuase you dont want people asking how your diet is, but I cannot be fooled! I still eat more than you. You must get over your fear of fat if you want to play with the big boys, and I know you do! I want to see good things in your future, so you will have to put up with me!

I do eat this, and here's how I do it

Meal 1: 1 cup oats 8 egg whites 15 ml. olive oil
Meal 2: 1 apple 1 scoop whey
Meal 3:1/3 of the pack of ground meat, 200 g. brown rice
Meal 4: 1 apple 1 scoop whey
Meal 5(pre w/o): 1/3 pack ground meat, 200 g. brown rice
Meal 6(during and post): 1/2 of: 2 scoops gatorade 1 scoop whey, xtend
Meal 7: 1/3 pack ground meat, brocolli, 1 cup oatmeal, 8 egg whites
Meal 8: 1 scoop whey, 1 cup cottage.

50 g. almonds spreaded in the day

As for the lifts, I am not training for strength and I have had surgeries for hernias and I still have to be careful, so I focus on doing the exercises properly, and in perfect form.

Today is an off day. I feel incredibly rested, and optimistic. I feel very good, and seem to feel leaner, even if I upped the calories. Great, and hopefully, the scale will show some good numbers ;)

High calorie is 3572 and low is 2550. Is that what you saw? Or just the total of protein cals?
