LAST WEEK UPDATE:
TRAINING:
I missed 1x of the 5x nightime LISS on friday.
And I missed the Saturday Legs, Glutes and Bi's workout.
DIET:
Well... This was my birthday weekend and was HELL UNLEASHED!! =D
Besides my birthday, I had a wedding on Saturday to help me even more... hahahahah!!
It was really impossible to maintain proper diet or to track what I was eating...
I ate from cakes to ice-cream, to super caloric foods, to several sugar bomb desserts, etc...
It was for sure about 3 days of 4000-5000 calories per day!! =D
I felt super bloated from eating that much food.
The only thing I did was to eat at least +200gr of protein
Saturday, the weeding night I "forgot" to apply Supernova or perhaps was the alchool... =D
Yeah!!![]()
Tonight the workout stamina & pump must be huge...
Thanks!!Clear improvement in the abs. And absolutely amazing if you've been enjoying wedding and birthday fare!

Thanks. I've got to control my refeeds a little bit more...Nice Job, everything i can see has improved. cut and gained thickness!!!!

Was warming up with some body weight squats and suddenly felt some pain... = the end!!![]()
Yes. Same here...Yeah, it's so frustrating to have to worry about injuries while lifting. Didn't used to be a problem. Now I'm hyper aware of my body and stop at the slightest whining from any muscle!
Muscle pulls at 55 years old do not heal quickly at all.

Me too!43 here and i sympathize with you and the everyone else over 40. there arent many things i would go back in time for because i am content with my life, pretty happy.
if i could, it would be on lifting and proper form. last few years i have really focused on mind to muscle connection with 90% or better form and hold contractions. if i only knew
sorry to hijack the thread

Me too!
I cannot push the weights I did in the past...
We got to work other variables and do it smarter!!![]()

Yeah...2nd that. If we knew all the lifts we did in the past that was jacking us up slowly. Funny thing I still see it all the time by the 20 somethings in the gym. Of corse we were superman in our 20's too.
I hear ya. 1/2 the time I train lower back I get muscle spasms. Makes it tough, can't really do any lifts that strain the lower back. Like all the good compound lifts. It sucksYeah...
I failed miserably at training my lower back so it could keep up with all the increasing weight on other exercises.
DIET:
Weekends are holding me back.
I had 2 birthdays!! Mums B-day on Saturday and a friends on Sunday.
Can PLEASE everybody stop inviting me??!! =D
LAST WEEK UPDATE:
TRAINING:
I missed 1x of the 5x nightime LISS.
I've got 3 herniated lumbar discs. S1-L5, L5-L4 and L4-L3.
I had to miss the Tuesday and Saturday Legs, Glutes due to some back pain/glute insertions.
Instead on Saturday I did some HIIT 20 "sprints" on the Airdyne machine #devilmachine!!

I maintain at least +200gr of protein but reached easly +4000 cals with all cakes, cheeses, deserts, etc... Meaning like double of whats my normal intake around 2250 cal.
SUPERNOVA:
Sunday I only applied 1x time!! =(
I'm a big believer that simply abstaining is a recipe for current misery and eventual failure.
What I will often do in cases like that is have a big protein shake -- possibly with added fiber/psyllium husks prior to attending a party. Sometimes I'll also bring with me easy, healthier snacks (if I can do it without making a scene).
That way, I'm not hungry when I get to the party. And, I'm able to enjoy small quantities of everything I enjoy.
So, instead of 2 servings of cake with 3 scoops of ice creme, I find myself quite happy with a half serving of cake and a single scoop of ice creme. A hand full of chips rather than a whole bowl. You get the idea.
By not being hungry at the party, I'm not tempted by everything. But, I can still participate in all the eating but in quantities that don't double my calories.
I've done this on many occasions and I believe the ability to enjoy and participate without blowing my diet completely allows me to stick with my plan far longer than when I was starkly strict 100% of the time.

herniated lumbar discs: that has got to suck!!! when your popular you get invited to all the good stuff. I bet you sat at the cool kids table at lunch...LOL
I know what you mean!! ;-)
I do exactly the same... BIG SHAKE with added fiber before partys or dinners you know you're going to binge!!
But I've recomping for more then 5 month already... and summer here it's over... the will it's not the same as I was before summer... and I'm on Follidrone 2.0 + I started B12 and my appetite it's through the roof...

If you've been comping for 5 months, I'd say have at it. Enjoy the parties as much as you like through New Years. Be strong and clean on the non-party days. And, and enjoy the results of 5 months of hard work.
Then get back to it in January.
Heck, what's the point of getting jacked and thin if you can't take a month or two off to enjoy you what you've accomplished?
SN does what Brite does only as a topical. Is there still a benefit to doing Brite if you're doing SuperNova? dsade ?
That's great!!Yes, most definitely. The changes to BRITE cells will occur over your whole body, not just where you apply it. This increases the thermogenic capacity of your entire body, boosting the number of calories you burn throughout the whole day and for a long term change.

After I got out of the hospital last year, I was still unable to go to the gym for months. My diet was absolute crap with a capital C.That's great!!
It will allow me to eat more!!![]()

But that was from the DCP? No?After I got out of the hospital last year, I was still unable to go to the gym for months. My diet was absolute crap with a capital C.
My body stayed lean throughout, though the sweating was very pronounced, no doubt.
But that was from the DCP? No?
Not even close. I ended up having to get a 4 vertebrae fusion with titanium rods but my whole spine continues to degrade. I'm pretty much in constant and severe pain.Now you're OK?
What's the best 3 ingredients for you to decrease hunger/appetite?
You had surgery to remove died bone parts right?Not even close. I ended up having to get a 4 vertebrae fusion with titanium rods but my whole spine continues to degrade. I'm pretty much in constant and severe pain.
My work helps me to keep my mind off of it, somewhat.
Would bpc help any?You had surgery to remove died bone parts right?
The antibiotics aren't making effect?
15 months and counting, and I'm still showing signs of persistent infection (based on twice a month CBC). They aren't picking up active disintegration, but the whole stability of my spine is shot.You had surgery to remove died bone parts right?

The GlycoMyx works wonders for appetite suppression, as do DCP and Epitome >16%
Perhaps that's why I'm always hungry...
I finished my 2 bottles of Epitome like 2 weeks ago!!
Two combo i used, and ran for 3 weeks 19-20 days was Whey, Casein and Psyllium Husks, no solid food, only addition was the 6 grams of omega 3 and 1 serving of OL Tr1umph as well as DCP and Eviscerate OG.
I find Micellar Casein to be best for reducing hunger / appetite and when you add in the psyllium husks it makes the casein gel even thicker which i feel works well to fill stomach and reduce hunger pains, also i consume 8-10+ Litres of water per day which works well, sometimes hunger pain can be dehydration so its always best to consume around 400-500 ml of water and wait a couple of mins to see if the pain eases.
