DC's New Year, New Life 2019

If you want to gain, you have to eat more. You wanna get leaner, you need to eat less. With no change, you will see nothing. But, if someone adds food to their program, some will tell them they are cheating the log cause they are getting bigger because of the food. Or when they cut, they again say they are cheating the log, cause they cut their calories. Well no sh*t. No product by itself, even roids are gonna do anything by themselves. It is all based off of food, and training. Again, if you change NOTHING, you will see NOTHING and that is why some will never see their end goal.
Well yes and no, if doing a log I assume you mean a log for a product or supplement. If you add the product you have changed something. If someone is already in a surplus or deficit they should not need to adjust that when adding in a supplement to see the effects of the supplement if it works. If the body can produce more muscle at a 300 calorie surplus then is should be able to add more muscle faster from the addition of the supplement which would then REQUIRE an increase in calories to maintain the surplus.

I agree 100%! I changed my eating and workout regimen and my body started to change dramatically. If one like myself add a Great product to their regimen the gainz would be phenomenal!
Or not... it is FAR MORE LIKELY that you wouldn't see much improvement at all. The increase at best would be marginal. Short of gear there simply isn't anything on the market that is going to even come close to what you can do and have done with diet and training. Take that as a compliment by the way.

So the scale and caliper are quite close ey?
Yeah, they where quite close actually. Kinda surprised me that they where that close
Yeah and that makes me belive some scales are quite effective. I mean coincidence? Nah :D
This isn't too surprising, they both have about a 3% over / under reading on average, and both can be skewed quite a bit by improper technique with the calipers, and varying levels of conductivity in the body based off of hydration and other transient factors.

Haha yeah I've heard some scales can be a bit off putting. I'll look in to it a bit, not that I care that much since I just go by the mirror but it'd be cool to have one that works!
The scales are great, the BF readers... good for a general idea. For you I wouldn't worry too much about it. You are at a level that you don't need to concern yourself with such trivial things. If you look good in the mirror you are golden, if not you know exactly what you need to do to get back to it quickly.
I'm mad at my scale right now !!
I heard it was mad at you too!
I got 4 bottle !!
I am 100% willing to be you that if you didn't use that and went on the exact same diet you did before the results would be almost exactly the same without a diet pill at all. It was your diet and training that got you there. Not those pills. Not even close to being a major factor in your loss other than supplying more energy and appetite suppression. However I am sure you would end up just as ripped in the end.
Scheduled Rest Day today, but will be taking my trt, eq, an other tbol when I get home from work

Hopefully topped that off with a nice meal to increase recovery too eh?

I had a venison steak, with brussel sprouts, and french onion potatoes for dinner. And as for your comment about me referring to a log. I wasn't referring to anyone or anything. I was making a blanket statement. Take it how it is written.
 
MrKleen73, When I change eating,workouts or add a Great supplement,My body change exactly how I want it too. I must have super powers. Lol!
That's kind of my point Beast, you have nailed down your training and nutrition to get the results you want. You have it nailed down enough that supps just aren't going to make that much of a difference for you when it comes to growth or cutting. Your nutrition and training take care of that for you. When you shift gears you also shift your diet and nutrition toward your new goal and go at it with gusto. Adding a supplement in at that time and giving it credit for the changes is not only cheating yourself of the credit deserved for the changes you made but also unintentionally misleads others into thinking they can get those results from the supplement when it was your dietary and training changes that actually drove the improvements.

Not sure why, but this seems a bit defensive and condescending... wasn't accusing you of anything just talking reality which apparently on some level you know to be true. Since this statement is what I have been saying the whole time. It ain't the supplements it is the diet and training, which were pretty much your words here "It is all based off of food, and training."

Also, I did take it how it is written. You mentioned people being accused of cheating a log by changing their dietary intake. That really only applies to a supplement log. No one would be saying that someone was cheating a log by adjusting calories one way or another if it was just a nutrition or training log. Only a supplement log could be skewed by changing the diet drastically to get the best out of the nutrition and imply that the effects came from the supplement. Unfortunately even the logger often thinks it was the supplement and not the dietary and training changes they made to get the most out of it. That is the truly sad part of it.

Legs are good. Had to take a few weeks off due to an Umbilical Hernia, but that seems to be doing alot better so most likely I will be adding back in leg workouts.

What did you do for it? Dont remember you mentioning surgery???

Can't see a hint of it in the pics -or did you mean inguinal hernia?
 
What did you do for it? Dont remember you mentioning surgery???
No surgery, I have taken 3 weeks off all lower body exercises, and wore an abdominal binder everyday. It was very small, but if I moved the wrong way it let me know it was there.
 
Those insta-pots are the greatest creation ever!

That and the Air Fryer get a lot of use at our house, next kitchen gadget is a Sous Vide ....

Really? My wife was just saying she was looking for bacon on sale.
 
DC, to me your food consumption is contrary to anyone who lifts... I mean, really. Its not about tasty -or delicious, because IT IS delicious!.
People around me eat chicken and rice multiple times a day. I eat instead, cow meat...at least 2-4 pounds a day just to conserve the muscles I have.

Thing is , calories in vs calories out, ok. BUT, watch your macros!

There is nothing you can do, or say, to defend your choices. Your nutrition for bodybuilding sucks azz!

Sorry I had to say this, it is what it is.

Don't be offended, bro.

Edit: 2-3 pounds of meat.... I overreached.
 
I'm well aware that there will be a sh1t storm my way... but I REALLY am interested in seeing DC succeed.

I am not the foe here! Don't blame the Russians. Just pointing out, AGAIN, the obvious and most important....nutrition.

Staple is protein. Where is it in these pics? It should be covering 55-70% of his meals.

School me.
