Bcazo goes to Extremes with Halo (IronMagLabs Sponsored)

Turn all your chicken into 8oz, one meal into red meat (6oz)

Eat one packet of cream of wheat in the morning, the other AFTER workout. Use almond milk (unsweetend) instead of 1% milk.

Your diet for the most part is solid, you got greens, slashed carbs to recomp and lean meats. Instead of doing say, 45mins cardion in one session, split it 25min am and 20min pm, or add 15mins of cardio onto 2-3 of your cardio sessions.
 
Late night, greek yogurt with a packet of splenda and a scoop of protein

Nope nothing yet. I was going to do legs too but ran out of gas! Worked them a little on the complex moves. I think that after week 2 if still nothing I'm upping it to 75. I believe halo takes about 2 weeks to kick. Definitely running this 6 weeks. It was more like dry heaves but yeah I was done

Lmao! I'm still fried from my workout the other day! Duh! :)

It takes a good amount of practice to get the complex lifts down. Keep at it and keep the weights low until you are comfortable with your form. I think the added explosiveness and muscle activation should give you some nice results

I like your definition better! Lol

I'm thinking of starting each workout with 1 complex move. Any other good one you would suggest? I really enjoyed the clean to press!
 
Day 8

After my last workout I took the day off. Body does need time to repair and grow. I also think 5 days a week is more than enough. As for the Halo it's been 7 days now and nothing to report so far. This is good and bad, I've had no side so far which I'm happy about. The bad part is that I'm soo anxious for it to start to kick in! LOL From past expirence week 2-3 should be when high gear kicks in.. So I will keep breaking my butt in th gym and wait for Halo to jump this into overdrive. I did purchase a second bottle and this log will be going 6 weeks with the last 2 or 3 dosed at 75! Just wait to see my lifts once that ON feeling starts look out!!!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it man I do the exact same thing. 1 major compound/complex movement as the base and the assistant movements after. Always good to get the big movements done first while your concentration and strength are at its peak.

Some other things you can try are snatches, hang snatches, regular power cleans, hang cleans, hang clean and press, deadlifts and variations (such as snatch grip deads, sumo deads, etc,) or incorporating band and chain work, board presses, box squats

Some of these require lots of work and flexibility so make sure you can do the moves porperly before getting carried away. Also, these excercises require a lot of focus and technique. Because of this, I tend to keep reps low so you don't get tired and lose focus and form
 
Day 9
I may have spoke too soon because I had an awsome workout last night. I find my workouts getting longer and last night closed the gym..
