Getting cut with Hypertrop-X

[John Smeton]

Hey Everyone, Thanks for Tuning in!

Thanks to Advanced Muscle Science(LazeDragon) for the Hypertrop-x.

*Goal in the next thirty days*
I expect to lose two inches off my waist and to keep increasing strength-wise.

What I expect for Hypertroph-X-help deliver energy for grueling training and cardio.

Dosing: Eight Hypertrop-X per day


Training Style- Dc training three days per week weights, three days Cardio(usually low intensity cardio)

Sleep is a good

Nutrition(I usually count protein, carbs , fats=calories everyday by writing them down on a piece of paper for my personal use. I also count water intake.128 oz=one gallon.
400 protein(plus the extra luecine)
100-200 carbs
70-100 fat

Two eat whatever I want meals(The rest is clean) per week and one refeed day every sunday.(clean)
-Started this diet today- I do carb cutoff's(Dc nutrition)

Supplements

Protein powder
L-glutamine-After im done(almost done) my Yellow Gold I'll finish up my tub(which isnt much left) lowers cortisol, enhances immune function and speeds recovery under catabolism.
Creatine - cycling - 3 days on 4 off
Yellow gold- before a higher carb meal or maybe only after post-training . (almost gone)
Nows super digestive enzyme(before bigger meals)
bromelain-for joint purposes, protein digestive and sinitus)
Glucosamine-Joints
Nows adam-Multi
Vit C a couple time per day
L-typtophan-Sleep
Fish oil 10-20 grams per day(joints)
Vit D-1 -2 grams per day


Today felt the Yohimbine today thirty minutes too an hour after the first dose I seem to respond okay to it. Felt a body temperature raised by being cooler(if that makes any sense)

Did thirty minutes of cardio on Treadmill set at Incline 15 and 2.5
Than did five minutes at six point zero and still had gas in the tank.

Thanks for reading!

Chest 47.75
Arms L and R both 17
Calves R 16.12 L 16.25(1/8th bigger)
Quad R 27.5 L 26.75

Took measurements upon awaking and took weight upon entering the gym(soon after first meal). Had at least a lb or two of poo poo after I did measurement's so this could have brought my waist down(I ate a pound of meat before bed last night) Sorry no side shots as I wasn't really concentrating on the posing aspect I just wanted to get a quick couple of pictures snapped for progress purposes.

Can you critique me on what body parts could use improvements? Compliments are welcomed as well(haha)

[John Smeton]

Today did thirty minutes of low intensity cardio 15 incline, 2.5. I've been taking my Hypertrop-x with meals and really dont feel it; although yesterday i took it alone and I felt it! I like it better with the meals.

crap yeah!!! this is a usual for me haha i love/hate it

 

[John Smeton]

Yesterday light cardio

today- usually I do more bread and butter exercises; example on triceps I usually do pullovers or dips; it hurts my elbow right now. i also don't do biceps or forarm exercises due to "golfer's Elbow" intill it heals up. I may eventually have to only do squats, deads and legs, and side laterals, for my inner elbow to completely rehab.Time will time...some movements like rack chins and the back hang, and shoulder press, and any pressing movement for that matter, is a challenge.

The cause of this tricep is going in the 4-6(sometimes less) rep range for triceps and bicep movements where I got my arms up to 18.5 inches; however I'm the same weight as I was when they were 18.5 and they''re 17 and I can't work them. Hwere's the lesson to you younger guys while you still have good joints-do not go super heavy on triceps and biceps, take it from me. lesson learned. I was focusing all my energy on arms while I could have been deadlifting and squatting. You live ya learn.Hopefully i get get my joints good again.

Thanks Man. good to know your doing things right. I didn't mean all I worked was arms; I did super heavy movements for bi and tri 's for four years, this was the cause and right now I'm feeling the effects. Hopefully people can learn from my cause and effect. Don't go low reps on biceps and tri's for years on end. My advice is keep them higher and focus on How much you can deadlift, barbell row, or squat. aka the power movements

dude whats your diet like when bulking,i would love to get up to 215 im at 190 now 6'2

Usually 4000 calories or over. (Somedays I fall short, Im one of those guys that has to force myself to eat; alhough this was my first year of going this high on calories)

Bulking for 200 lbs was

400 protein
400 -500 carb
8--100 fat

This got me past 220 in eight weeks(march 08-May 08) along with heavy training and good sleep and supplements(No super supplements)

Also remember the bigger you get you'll have to increase the calories to maintain and keep getting bigger. Nutrition is the factor to get you there, along with strength progression and recovered sleep.

 

[John Smeton]

Today 45 minutes walk outside in the park. 2-2.5 miles I'm guessing. This brings back memories:I used to be the fastest kid in all my classes on the mile run(for phys ed) in 4th and 5th grade. I'm built for long distance running.I think my record when I was in fourth grade was I ran the mile in 6:51.I never practiced running either. I wish I did have super muscular genetics; I have to work hard for everything I have as far as muscle.

very nice training today. I go to Physical therapy and my elbow has healed up some. Very happy about this that it's made progress in only two weeks time.

Up date on nutrition and supplements
I don't do a lot of physical work; other than cardio and the gym
an average day im getting in 2700-3000 calories. I always,yes always, get past 300 grams of protein everyday(except my one carb up day), usually past 350, and sometimes I hit my 400 grams of protein so I know protein could use improvement. My strength hasn't dropped. I'm also coming off a 4 k calorie diet, with not much physical work.

L-glutamine- post-training
Creatine - cycling - 3 days on 4 off
Nows super digestive enzyme-not much recently, sometimes
bromelain-for joint purposes, protein digestive and sinitus)
Orange triad Multi.glucosamine, msm, chondrition and hydraluroic acid
Vit C 500 mgs-1500 mgs
Fish oil 10-20 grams per day(joints)
Vit D-1 -2 grams per day

Sleep is good. No supplements for sleep at the moment.

 

[John Smeton]

One hour of low intensity cardio(lawn mowing)

 

[John Smeton]

Had to cut out certain exercises today on my Dc training. My goal is still to lose two inches off my waist and for my arm to FULLY recover so I can hit it full force. I'm going to focus on Dead lifts, Squats,Shrugs, hamstrings, Calves, and lateral heads of my shoulders using a lateral machine and any other exercise(I'm switching gyms to a cheaper gym, in till my elbow is recovered. My membership expires tomorrow, I'll go back to this gym when elbow is healed. fact is it's a nice gym and I cannot use it intill I'm healed so i might as well join a gym I can recover in, without signing another contract for three months .Goal is also to increase my one reps max on dead lifts.

Goals for the next month-
1. Continue losing fat loss and getting stronger on key exercises and all other exercises.

so exercises will change coming up in till my elbow fully heals.

smeton in order to achieve greatness like me, you are going to have to push yourself away from thet keyboard. That keyboard is llike a chain of dicks that will just hold you down till you drowned.

I have been more productive since Ive been away from the devil. Infromation society is misleading you, it is time to revolt and take charge.

If I am not around that is because I am at war!

[John Smeton]

Stats don't mean jack to me. Its how strong I am at the moment, with staying healthy, without becoming a fat slob, some body fat is okay with me

Starting
Ht 6ft3
Wt 222
waist 37
Chest 47.75
Arms L and R both 17
Calves R 16.12 L 16.25(1/8th bigger)
Quad R 27.5 L 26.75

Today
Wt 222
all measurements are the same except waist which at first was 36 and the seconds time at the biggest point was 36.5-37.(I tryed to measure the biggest possible point )

also I had to stop working chest , shoulders, trics bi's and forearms during this protocol to heal an injury.

My reviews on hypertroph-X-Great stuff for cutting. the yohimbine worked like a charm. the only reason I didn't get any more body fat off because I wasn't dedicated enough to do so.(could have been stricter on diet, could have done cardio more) the L-Luecine added in my recovery, when I dont take it I feel less recovered, when i do, like I was everyday I feel more recovered, and the beta alanine works. I give this product two thumbs and and am willing to buy it for my goals.

strength has increased as I hit a PR on dead's of 415.

 

[JOHNJESSICA20]

Dude my motivation would b completly drained if I could'nt train those body part once a week...lol Hope the injury comes around for you!!

Nah I'm sure you'd still be hungry and work the body-parts you could. Deads hit alot! also calves hams, and quads, and squats take a lot out of you.

This log is over...

Its :dl: time =)
