Kleen, where do you take the measure for your legs? Is that flexed or not?
Not a very good pic but I needed a reference point and quickly before any changes really started to happen. Lighting sucks but you can see the abs are there. Difference between 7% and 6% is so radical on me. I dont think the calipers will go down again on chest or legs until I am under 5% so everything else just comes off the abs pretty quickly too once it starts. In another 2 lbs they will be pretty sharp, and I will try to get a pic in some better lighting with a real camera. This was in the tanning booth with my phone.

Beast mode.
Look good bro.
when your that lean stripping off a few lbs makes a huge difference
Cant wait to see how ur body reacts to the SWOLE stack
No problem and thanks!Look solid bubba! Thanks on the measurement info.
lookn clean and mean, son!
Yeah it is all of the sudden it surprised me last time. Me either I thin it will go well.when your that lean stripping off a few lbs makes a huge difference

Also looking forward to the results from the SWOLE stack.
Man, you've got an extremely solid base, good job bud!! It can only get better from there, keep up the hard work!! You said you had a martial arts studio, what kind of martial arts bud?
Looking great once again.
I paged through and may have missed it but what is your dosage of the stack looking like? Also, is this going to be a 4 week or 8 week run?
I'm thinking of trying it out myself as well but it looks like one stack is good for 4 weeks and didn't know if I should go for eight. Your Asteroid stack results interest me as well but I didn't get much out of prime the first time.
nice W/O kleen! b@lls to the w@ll!
Well, I will tell you this, to fight MMA, you need real good concentration, need to be able to pick your strikes well, need a good understanding of body movements, and of course need to be able to TAKE A HIT. If you need tips, pm me.

Thanks man! I will definitely hit you up when I have some questions. I am just now going to start back on my standing bag and see how my elbow holds up. Then I will graduate back to my heavy bag when I have more confidence in how the tendon will handle the abuse. Expect to hear from me on that front within a month or so. I am baby stepping it back into this one so that I know the healing is complete instead of partial and waiting to return if pushed. Been there done that, I dont want the t-shirt... LOL
I am definitely best with Grappling and Ground and Pound, only from experience. I took Wu Shu Kung Fu for a little while but a lot of that won't hold up in MMA. Too many high kicks or illegal moves. Growing up up north helped with the Wrestling side, everybody wrestles it is the past time. I have great ground control, and unexpected flexibility that allows me to get my legs around people in ways the never thought would happen. I can take most peoples back relatively easy even experienced grapplers. I have very heavy hands and am lightening quick but not technical enough as a striker yet. Will come with more practice. Being left handed I have a pretty good dexterity in both hands and can't strike well from both stance but like to fight in a right handed stance so I can use the precision and power available in my left to knock them stupid with the jab because it is a lotmore powerful than expected. Not like yours though. Yeah, expect a pm from me regarding that!
Oh yeah and I can take a punch. I almost like being hit if that makes any sense. I mean my goal is still not to but when I do it excites me. I am one of those guys that you kind of see smile after you hear a thud of a solid impact and expect to see me shaken instead i smirk and come back in. However I don't think I want YOU hitting me. LOL
Quick update, I am a beast, noticed a lot of aggression today. Have to keep my eye on it. I am also getting very oily skin mostly on the head so I am having to wash my head both morning and night and wipe it periodically throughout the day to keep the oil down.
Workout was great this morning did some pre exhaust sets on Incline DB bench then hit 70x15 on the last set.
3 sets of 10 on nuetral grip chins from dead hang.
155x7 on push press last set, then 12 front raises with 45 lb plate immediately after.
25x10 dumbells side laterals for 3 sets
20x10 bent over laterals.
45 degree leg press, last set 8 plates x8>7px8>6px7>5px4 foot positioning for quads, closer together and very low on platform so I couldn't go as heavy as usual but my quads were TOAST!!!
Stiff leg deads last set 225 x 10
lying leg curl 130x10>110x7>90x5>70x3
Seated donkey calf raise 8 plates x15 for 3 sets
Great workout had a huge pump my legs were trembling and shot.
I love me some bulk p-slin lol, anyways, bro MMA fighting requires a lot of you just keep that in mind, much sacrifice and dedication.
Yes it does, I truly hope to have the oppurtunity to give it what it deserves, it is a goal I feel pretty strongly about so I will have to nut up and do the damn thing. I am old enough I am not fooling myself about doing many of them. However I want to do at least one. More than likely I will train throughout my next competition then lower my lifting focus and refocus on MMA with lifting in the background as a supplement to the MMA training. I can't concentrate on both at the same time. It just isn't feasible.
The key to lifting while competing MMA is to do explosive types of lifts, while stretching for flexibillity, squats have a slight impact on my high kicks due to boundage of flexibility.
It was pretty good breaks up the monotany of the eggs. Plus a nice small dose of carbs and fiber.Damn, that Egg/Chili combo sounds good!
Yeah, my YouTube says MrKleens Testosterone Zone this one just made sense and flowed. I wish it came to me when I started the log.... I reserve the right to use this for my NEXT SWOLE LOG.I like, Full blown in the T-Zone.
Not this time around or I wouldn't have needed the extra hot sauce. When i make my chili it is a few bites and then :zx11pissed::zx11pissed: the heat comes. I do make it less hot for others then seperate a pot for me and my buds and spice it up the way I like it. This was a friend who made it the other day and had made a lot so they gave me gallon of it. Lucky me it was the bottom of the pan where all the meat was. When I cook the meat is double strained and rinsed with hot water before being re-seasoned heated more in the skillet and then put in the pot with the rest of the ingredients to stew. All of my friends beg for my chili. Thank goodness it is cool out again. I will be making a pot to eat during my higher calorie macro cycles.do you make the chili?

If you hit your squats ATG or "in the hole" along with some splits and straddles at the end as a warm down you shouldnt lose flexibility. Also if you stretch before you go to bed and when you wake up squats shouldnt impact.
The more you stretch the better. One thing i got from shotokan that has helped in every area when i actually do it.
jesus christ that sounds amazing.....
I think for my cheat meal this weel im gonna make myself some chili and brown rice.
I put chilli on my eggs ... thought I was unique in that...
MMMMMM..... funny I have amost a gallon of this otherstuff at home but I am so craving my own I am temted to make it. Ihave to lay out the high calorie cycles of my plan to include the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas so I will probably hold off another week or 2 before starting that. The chili has to wait.
No Sir your unique qualities are being such a stand up guy and a friggin stud at 51. Both are qualities for other to look up to and you to be proud of.

Log looks great bro. Thank you for taking your time to do it.
Thanks and thanks for letting me run the SWOLE Stack!
Indeed I agree with you, its just the weight I put up sometimes has an effect due to the pumps but I do concur.
My money is on the 4th rep happening!!
