Irish Cannon's THIRD CUTTING LOG! Leviathan Reloaded/Ephedrine/ATD/+ other goodies!!!

Your cut is definitely comin' along nicely bro. Keep up the good work. Soon enough you'll be able to start bulking..
 
IC you ever look into CLA? Some people swear by the stuff to keep the belly fat off. I know for myslef. I nabbed 1000caps from BN about 2 years ago and ran them at 6/day from about feb-june.....my abs never looked better.

I was dieting my ass off much in the same fashion you are. The year prior to that I had also dieted down to close the same BF and my abs didn't really "pop" as much as they did with the CLA
 
you're lookin great from the first pic in your first log. what do the legs look like? haven't seen em since the first pics. the hair cut and the shave made a big diff too.

I'll look into it for my next supplement purchase.

I just finished working. I'm pretty exhausted, but fortunately today is just a cardio day. No heavy lifting. I'm going to hit the gym around 6:30 when it calms down a bit. Get a good hour and twenty in.

o BTW....lookin' leaner. CLA is def something that takes time to notice
 
I second the CLA thing it does help alot. It shrinks your exsitant fat cells and prevents new ones.
 
Just saw that Scivation added a new protein product. 10lbs for $60 at NP! My next order will include that and some CLA.

In case some of you never viewed my past logs, I just did a Before/After from my first pictures to a picture a took today. I don't have any recent leg photos simply because it's hard to get a picture of them on any mirrors in the house, and the gym has horrible lighting. They look good, though.
 
Everything has been going pretty well. Strength is climbing steadily on most exercises. I enjoy being on both DTH and Stoked; however, I feel the hype over DTH is a little overexagerated. It's a good product, definitely the best natural test booster I've used, but I really don't notice anything insane. If this was the first time my strength went up during my cut then obviously I would be highly impressed, but my strength has been going up since the beginning.

I'm not too sure what my weight is at. The scale at my gym is still broken. I feel I'm lingering around 171lbs. I think I'm at the weight where it's going to take a little longer to shed pounds than before. I've upped my PWO cardio to 30 mins, and I've added a meal to my day as I had mentioned I was getting super hungry. I've been making a turkey sandwich on whole wheat pita bread with some fat-free swiss cheese, dijon mustard, spinach, etc.

My desire to snack on crackers (wheat thins, triscuits) and beer has gone up, but I've been doing my best to not indulge, especially in the beer. I tend to have a few crackers with my turkey sandwich. I really wish I had gotten a complete 6-pack before all these cravings have been coming on.

Next supplement purchase will be coming up shortly, although I told myself I was going to take it easy this time. I spent too much on the last order. I think I'll get some Scivation Whey, CLA as you all mentioned, and possibly more BCAAs.

I'll be in Boston next week. Hopefully diet and training won't suffer too much. I expect to get at least one workout in while I'm there. I'll be carrying around a backpack the whole trip with some essentials in it (protein powder, beef jerky, bars, BCAAs, etc.)
 
Have you thought about doing a small lean bulk for a little while then going back to a cut. The only reason I say this is that when I cut for a extended period of time, I seem to lose my fat burning ability. So what I do is when i get to that point i start a small lean bulk(very lean). That seems to help my body because it is getting immune to the cut. Your gains will be very lean anyways. Then you can get back on the cut and lose the rest. Just a thought.

That sounds relieving. I think I'll just work with what I've got diet wise right now. Since I just added that extra meal, I'd like to see how I react to it. That meal alone probably puts another 500cals in my diet.

Doing a bulk would make me debate even further over another oral cycle. Probably Hdrol/Pplex type thing.
 
I've had some serious snacking problems lately. I ate a box of wheat thins yesterday along with a few beers. I feel horrible about it. I've never been on a strict cutting diet this long. I normally don't have snacking problems, but lately I really have.
 
IC, go with a lean bulk for 4 weeks with one cheat meal per week. Yove been dieting for almost what 24weeks now!?!

Get in about 200gr carbs/day and split em fat/protein and carb/protein (morning, pre postw/o & post w/o meal) and throw in 15min cardio post-workout.

so your daily's would look about like this with 6 meals
protein: 300-315
carbs: 200
fat: 60
cals: ~2,600

That sounds good, except I'm still going to keep the cardio where I have it at right now. I'll just change my diet around...I still can't believe I ate a whole box of wheat thins last night.

My diet will be totally messed up next week, though. Since I'll be in Boston, I expect each day to be filled with clam chowder and beer.

haha I was out there last week, boston cream pie and sam adams....that did wonders for my diet :lol:

Plus with your next stack I dont think you'll have to worry about putting on ANY fat just LBM ;)
 
Just killed my workout today. Strength was up. Weightlifting and cardio endurance were both way up. Minus my binge on Wheat Thins last night, I feel amazing, and even that is just mental. I think everything (diet+supplementation+training) is really working together perfectly. I've never felt better in my life.

I'm considering getting back into sprinting. The last time I trained was over a year ago when I pulled my hammy. Haven't done sprints since then. I'm sort of scared to get back into it. I'd sort of like to get back into running, but I don't know if I could hold my lifting strength if I did. I'd really have to do some research.
 
dude your legs are gangsta! very nice. i bet you're getting considerably more pu$$y than you were when you looked like a lumberjack! haha

During this entire cut IC what do you think has been the most effective, outside of diet and cardio?

As far as weight training, things really started to take off for me when I started doing my new workout. It allows me to hit each muscle group twice EOW, one workout being low rep and the other being high rep. I really think that helped my strength.

As for supplements, I've used so much since the beginning. Leviathan Reloaded has been awesome for both my cardio and weight training. I haven't even finished my first bottle of Napalm yet, but I feel that it has helped somewhat. I've enjoyed running Stoked and DTH together. Running the Hdrol/Epidrol was alright, but it really wasn't worth the extra effort other than the gyno reduction I got out of Epidrol which was awesome and totally unexpected. Out of all of the supplements I would say that Xtend has done the most for me. BCAAs seem to provide amazing support during a cut.

Once again a bad weekend as far as cheating. I've been taking things a little too far. I love chips with salsa and beer and I loaded up on them yesterday in the pool. I think I'm just going to try to forget about, not worry about the fact that I've eaten so much starchy carbs and alcohol the last few weeks, have fun in Boston, but be a complete machine when I get back. No cheating. No alcohol. What used to be cheat day will be refeed day. I've got about a week or so left of Stoked! and about 2 1/2 weeks left of DTH. After that point I'd like to take about 2 weeks off of all supplements other than whey/casein shakes and BCAAs. I've been discussing things with Distilled Water about different LG products, and I will most likely be starting a new log (once I start supplements back up) so I can log those products for them.


The supplements I've used in my cut:

Leviathan Reloaded by Palo Alto Labs
Napalm by Avant Research
Stoked! by Anabolic Innovations
Diesel Test Hardcore by Get Diesel
H-drol by Competitive Edge Labs
Epidrol by Genera Supplements
Blue-up by Controlled Labs
All The Whey (Whey and Casein powders)
Xtend by Scivation
Creatine Monohydrate by Nutraplanet
Beta-alanine by Primaforce
ADAM by NOW

Each and every one of these is a quality product and I'd recommend each one.

Some quick notes:

1. I don't recommend anyone cut without the use of BCAAs. They proved to be an amazing aid in holding muscle during a cut. I attribute my strength gains mainly to the use of these.

2. Thermogenics kick ass. Use one if you can, but it's only necessary to take them pre-workout. I don't see much of a point in using them throughout the day. It never made a difference for me when I did.

3. Topical fat-loss products DO work; not just a gimmick that tingles. Napalm is the only one I've tried, but I know there are other quality topicals out there.

4. Epidrol gets rid of gyno...for serious. It's the real deal.

5. Casein protein fills you up and is cheaper than cottage cheese.
 
Is it true that as an AM Gold Member you get free NP shipping? I'm about to buy the membership, but I just wanted to make sure this was true.

Thanks. It feels good to hear that.

Just got back from Boston last night. Time to get back on track! Had a great time. Drank lots of Guinness and Sam Adams. It was a good break. Did absolutely no working out other than all the walking.

Lifting/Cardio/Strict diet all starts back up tomorrow. I won't be cheating for at least two weeks. Refeed days every Friday.


Here's a picture of me somewhere off Cape Ann close to Gloucester.
