The dissapearing man

[ZLB70]

I wish some of you were local guys. I love sending food to my buddies houses. Back in the day when I was drinking we use to hang out mostly at one friend's house and we regularly would do taco Tuesdays and cook out on Saturday or Sundays. I wish they would still but because I don't drink they don't seem to wanna hang out as much. One of my buddies still trys to pretend he's sober whenever I see him and it sucks because I don't care what others do. You can come over, drink and do whatever else as long as it stays outside in my Pickwick table area. ‍

I can’t stand that people have that mentality of if you’re not drinking with them then you aren’t enjoying your time

That’s cool….a lot of my buddies when we start getting stuff out of our gardens we bring each other different vegetables and fruit as we harvest. I usually share peppers, homemade hot sauces, tomatoes, and apples. We have some Hispanic ladies at work that will bring tacos and burritos about once a month.

When I lived at my grandparents house in Santa Barbara it was like that. My brother and I woukd go to my cousins house and we'd drink and grill some good food. Same thing tho I stopped drinking and my brother moved and it all kinda fell apart

That's awesome...nothing better than homemade Mexican food

You know.... That comp sounds freaking awesome lol..

I might actually sign up for one like that. I'm far more geared to volume and that might help level the playing field

I agree, it's definitely not a traditional pl comp or something but it sounded fun and if I tap out around 315-350 IL probably get 8 singles without really risking injuries. Knowing my dumb ass IL push it too far. I also weighed in at 195.0 today. I'm really thinking about doing less then 100gm carbs a day for the next 10 days while focusing primarily on cardio in a sauna suit the last 2 days so I can attempt to squeeze in at 180. It would be mostly a dehydration tactic and I'd likely gain 10 back the day of but even so, I mean, why not lol. Then IL be all Amazing, I did looking and won't feel bad about pulling under four plates before I quit lol

Lol, most the time I don't enjoy myself going out sober so I mostly stopped going out. A lot of the things I used to find fun drunk, now give me anxiety. But cookouts and stuff likevthat I still enjoy. One of my best friends still has a really bad drinking and cocaine problem. But I still go clamming with him every year. And he brings all his "stuff". But it's fine with me. I quit because I truly wanted to and if I really wanted a drink I would have one. But I don't want to because I know what it will turn into. I'm doing me and you guys can do you. No harm done to me

 

[MrKleen73]

It's about 40..these next 6 weeks I'm really gong to push it and see how lean I can get. The week before labor day weekend will be pretty much no carb. Only 50 grams pre training and another 50 post training that's it. I leave Wednesday morning for Vegas so I'll slowly carb up then and over the next few days after. I still have 10 anadrol left to help and that way I'll be able to get some good sessions in at the gyms out there. Between the anadrol and all the good food I'll have over the long weekend I should get some gnarly pumps

Definitely post up some pics of the final results here.

You So Crazy!!! If you are thinking of sandbagging the competition anyway then don't mess up your approach and training on the way to it with nonsensical water loss strategies. You already said you aren't going in it to win it. So either A) don't do it at all (makes the most sense), or B) do it, cut weight for it to get in the 180 class, and actually try to win, or C) just do ut for the fun, of it, don't mess with water for weight check and just go have fun with the people who talked you into doing it with them. Then just stop when you think going heavier brings a risk you aren't willing to take. Either way, If you aren't going to try to win then keep your diet the way it is which will allow for better training and muscle retention throughout your total cut. Have some fun at the meet but don't do things that mess with other parts of your training and goals.

Yeah nobody who strength trains will be impressed with a sub-400 pull at any bodyweight as a grown man, from a competitive perspective. And anyone who doesn’t strength train seriously already thinks 315 is a great deadlift lol.

So cutting water and increasing the odds of injury, even marginally, makes 0 sense.

Just go have fun!!!

Yea I'll post pics the morning I leave for Vegas ( depleted) and after I carb up a few days later)

Niice..yea my moms lived out there for 20 years now so the family gets together every labor day weekend for the end of summer and to watch the first weekend of college football. I'm hoping to see some pros training at some of the gyms scince everyone will be in the middle of Olympia prep by then. They're all starting their vlogs now

Yesterday's food was a little more carbs but not a ton.

Eggwhites with 1 yolk, 4 turkey sausage, slice of munster cheese and a little ketchup.

Had 2 large coffees from dunking yesterday, each had 3 creams no sugar

8oz grilled chicken, 2oz white cheddar, 2 medium tortillas and shredded vegetables and some hot sauce

12oz skim milk, 2 scoops protein powder, I frozen banana, 8 frozen strawberries and some dark chocolate chips

Last meal was supposed to be a omlett with cheese but I fell asleep on the couch so I missed that meal.

I still got 200 protein and the bulk of my calories and I'd rather be under then over so it is what it is. The good news is my girl bought ice cream and pop tarts even tho I asked her to stop buying junk but I didn't touch it and didn't really have the urge

As long as you still get 200 grams of protein in I wouldn't be too concerned about missing the last meal. Good job on resisting the junk

This is crazy. we now weight the same. I did not ever expect to see my scale intersect with yours and Kleens lol. but we are going opposite directions.

That's why I titled it the disappearing man lol. Wait till I'm 180 off cycle. Honestly in person it looks good, but when I look at pictures comparing size differences it's pretty significant lol

haha yeah I get that. I loved the 24/7 shredded abs at about 175 or so but even my wife says my face was too lean, she responded very well to me at 190+ lol

On the way down my 190-195 looks OK, on the way back up when I'm on cycle my 190-195 look is usually really good if I'm on point. My girlfriend likes me 220 and kind fat fat/jacked looking. Not fat, but Too fat for my liking

Lunch is boring today, eggwhite omlett that I slightly overcooked and turkey cheddar roll ups with some mustardInvalid Link Removed

 

[Smont]

My mistake. This isint turkey it's teriyaki chicken lunch meat, I must have grabbed someone elses thing out of the deli shelf

 

[Mikereyn513]

Had to use your code today to get some more clen. The bottle from over the spring won't last until labor day. I might have to do the peas and carrots thing Sr Todd talks about because 1 cup of rice per meal isn't cutting it. The only thing is last time I did that I kept the hunger away but gave me horrible gas which means it's messing with my digestion which is the last thing I want. I have no digestion issues with chicken rice tilapia oatmeal. I don't even remember the last time I farted

Sounds to me like peas and carrots are a terrible idea for you. And you should do something different.

 

[Mikereyn513]

I should just man up and deal with it but work can be pretty cardiovascular intense at times. Right now I'm eating every 3 hours and it's like I just make it to the next meal (8 oz chicken 1 cup jasmine rice with sugar free ketsup and mustard )

How many carbs per day are you allowed?

 

[Dustin07]

(8 oz chicken 1 cup jasmine rice with sugar free ketsup and mustard )

thats almost exactly what I do for breakfast every single day except I use hot sauce and a ground meat. 1/2 cup jasmine when cutting, 1 cup+ when bulking lol.

Just add some fibrous veggies for volume. Simple stuff. You can get yourself full on broccoli well before you get enough carbs or calories in from it to matter. That or supplement some fiber.

That's exactly what I would do, but if the only thing he's doing differently this time is the vegetables or lack of, It sounds like the veggies are screwing up his digestion. If I couldn't directly add vegetables something else I've done is a serving of greens and reds powder with low fiber content mixed in a lot of water and drink like 24oz of it before each meal. It will make you feel full faster, but it's definitely not going to keep you full between meals.

I was wondering if maybe doing all protein and trace fats at each meal and saving whatever carbs you got for pre or post workout, or both. If your running on mostly protein all day then any carbs around your workouts will immediately be used for energy as long as it's not whole grain complex carbs or pure fructose and even some of those will still be used up

Try swapping some rice for baked potatoes. Drastically more filling & more minerals.

And don’t do a damn wholesale swap or you’ll get bloated AF. This **** isn’t all or nothing Mikey, same way you messed up with the peas and carrots - you have to teach your digestion, slowly, up to its comfortable limit.

Swap 1 (ONE) meal’s carbs to potato. Give it a while to adjust before considering swapping out more. Some guys can live on potatoes, most can only do good on 1-2 daily.

Not to mention the extra potassium in the potatoes will help glucose uptake into the muscles. I was gonna add that when he's ready to carb load to get some potatoes and bananas mixed in with the rice and gummy bears and whatever else you plan to load on. Just don't try to carb load on a brand new carb source like breads and pastas if you haven't been already eating some or you likely will get bloated.

 

[Mikereyn513]

I'm keeping it a 1:1 ratio until the week of Aug 21 and then it'll only be 50 grams pre and 50 grams post so that week I'll have to have something. Right now I'm doing close to 300 so that's roughly 1.5 grams of carbs/ day. It basically comes down to 50 grams per meal. I like asparagus a lot so I'll get some of that this weekend. It's weird whole broccoli messes with my gut but I bought a bag of broccoli rice and that didn't so I may have to go thst route as well. The results are coming daily now and I haven't even added tren or mast yet! This morning I was stretching and I can see veins go down my inner thighs spider web across my quads and go down through my calf. So I can't quit now. I just think of a story ross Flanigan told the first time he got shredded glutes. He would call his coach from the stepmill on tears because he was so hungry and talked about eating protein powder with a spoon just to chew on something. Fouad abiad told a story that when Dennis James was coaching him the last 2 weeks was lettuce and 6oz of chicken. He said there were days he woukd straight hallucinate from the hunger and Dennis and to talk him off the ledge a few times. If the guys I look up to can do it then I have to as well

John Meadows said they were big on dates right around the show to load because the high potassium helped dry them out while they are a very easy way to get in a lot of sugar.

A couple dates daily does help prevent atherosclerosis as well. There’s basically no place in a prep for most people, but they are good for your cardiovascular system. Just not filling at all, only delicious.

Riced cauliflower and broccoli are definitely easier to digest for me than whole. You can still bloat but it’s basically pre-chewed and easier to digest.

I know Matt Jansen is big on asparagus to help keep a drier look. I actually met him in the bathroom coincidentally last Saturday at the Chicago Pro. He was there with Justin Shier, who did win his Pro debut there. He was very confident, and I saw why. Stanimal was leaner, Blessing was bigger, but Justin just had a solid package that day.

Blessing looked like he forgot to cut. Absolutely huge, but just not stage ready. Spilled over & not conditioned enough.

I was following Justin's prep vlogs yea he looked great. I don't know what's up with blessing. Trigili went off on him on his post show video it was hilarious.
Alright so I'll try the rice broccoli and cauliflower. Also get some asparagus. That's cool that Matt Jansen likes it for prep. I always like it with fish. Right now I can get to about 2 1/2 hours but that last half hour before my next meal can be tough. But I'll get through it, I won't fail

 

[Smont]

Long day, got a pretty good workout in, it was intense at least, but I was super busy today. Work, after work I had to trim a few trees overhanging my father in laws, then I hit the gym on basically 1 meal today. Loaded up on eaas and glutamine intra workout

Invalid Link Removed

Light weight but I was pretty tired from the first set so it felt heavy.

Immediately after the gym I got about loaded up with all kinds of problems from everyone so I had to skip another meal and shower and run errands for 3 hours and I just got home. As much as I'd like to use my remaining calories on garbage I won't. I took the leftover chicken, covered it in leftover chili, added a cup of rice and it's warming up.

Invalid Link Removed
That's a full size frying pan but if math is right there's about 100gm protein and 1000 calories.

My girl also just made a zucchini bread, not fried but like banana bread, it's more of a dessert then anything, she just used zucchini and a few other things to make it lower in carbs and fat and calories obviously. IL probably have a slice and a strawberry protein shake before bed and that will still get me my daily totals. Not ideal meal timing but I gotta do what I gotta do.

From eating little and up and down ladders all day I was actually 192 when I walked in the gym lol.

Workout was almost 2 hours long but I had a break in between the cardio and the weights.

Everyone knows my legs are a glaring weakness but I think they look "OK" with all the set backs and only doing light rehab stuff, jumping rope and some moderate weight low rep stuff once a week. Tomorrow was supposed to be boxing only but I might do some legs after. High rep squats and walking lunges if the knees feel good. IL wrap them just in case.

Definitely need to put 2 or 3 more inches back on them. On the rebound phase I think I may fux with some slin on leg days.

@Renew1 @xR1pp3Rx bout to put this triton order in, I'm not sure if I already asked this but dosing, can I use this only pre workout or should I use daily, if daily can I put it on in the morning before work and train 9-10 hours later? Or does it need to be around the workout.

its so damn good Renew uses it before work, just for work!!

anyhow, yes you can use it as a pre work out only. no need for daily use unless you want to.

 

[Smont]

Plan is to start triton middle of next week if anyone is interested and then probably a week or 2 later Ursa, Which leads me to my next question, can that one be applied 1x daily or should it be applied pre workout or split am/pm

1 time anytime is totally fine with that one. all at once too.. no need to split a larger dose if you don't want to.

 

[Renew1]

Yep, what he said ...
The Triton is good anytime you need stamina.
And Ursa can be applied once a day. ... But you can apply it twice a day, if you need t, or want to.

Thought I'd give you guys some progress pics before I add tren or mast ( should ne here next week) this is 250 test 40mcg clen 600mg inj carnatine

 

[Mikereyn513]

Really impressed with how the wheels are coming along. This is morning fasted today, did back and tris last night, still getting pretty good pumps so ik riding that as long as I can. I know you're not a fan of AA but the super shredder and cardabolic are legit. Ross Flanigan is right when he says yiu have to rell yourself to leave the gym. I can't wait to try them when I'm actually full. Probably won't even need a traditional pre workout drink

Hamstrings look a lot bigger then last time you posted a leg shot. I bet you feel pretty good around 200 vs 240 for work and your normal day to day stuff.

True but that 240 was a lot more fat and water than I wanted to admit to myself at the time. I know if I got to 240 it would be a completely different look. We'll see what happens this fall. I'm gonna go full off season but once the abs go I won't go any farther. Also it feels so good not to br able to pinch anything on my lower back/ love handles

I got some other questions but I'm gonna ask them in my old log because it's probably gonna turn into a whole bunch of back and forth and I don't wanna clog this thread up with it but IL hit you up there or pm later. Mostly about your carb load and next phase on the way back up

 

[MrKleen73]

@Mikereyn513 looking good, legs are really looking impressive.

@Smont - 192, you drop so fast but with your crazy job it is no wonder. I have to make myself move during the day in order not to be sedentary. Computer work, there is only so much manual work that can be done unless doing a massive set up everything is just brain power, and butt anchors. (chairs)

 

[Hyde]

Mikey I know Smont already said it but that’s a beautiful hamstring hang. Really showing some decent hocks right now.

Knees are feeling pretty good lately so I definitely think I can continue to add leg work.

This is great news. Anything you can do to strengthen the hamstring will aid knee stability as well, which can then help support more light unilateral volume on things like lunge/split variations, which in turn can longterm strengthen the knees if you can avoid overdoing them.

Thanks @Hyde means a lot coming from you bro. Like i said I'll be starting tren and mast next week and probably gonna throw in a little test prop. So when I'm struggling with cardio or hunger ill just pretend you guys are next to me telling me not to give up now

@Mikereyn513 looking good, legs are really looking impressive.

@Smont - 192, you drop so fast but with your crazy job it is no wonder. I have to make myself move during the day in order not to be sedentary. Computer work, there is only so much manual work that can be done unless doing a massive set up everything is just brain power, and butt anchors. (chairs)

Thanks @MrKleen73 appreciate it bro

Whenever you’re really starving, try to remember it’s your choice. You are choosing to get ripped, and this is how it’s done - for me, that makes hunger a lot more bearable. So then I’ll just ask myself if I can go a little longer, a little further, and that gets me through.

Sometimes when I'm on the stepmill I'll think back to hell week at the beginning of football season and think that was way harder than this and you didn't quit then so don't quit now..you can go another 5 minutes. Usually the first 20 or 25 is good it's those last 20, when the hypo starts kicking in and my shirt is dripping with sweat. I like what Justin mihaley said when you go hypo that's when the fat starts to come off the glutes. You're getting shredded now so don't stop
