The impression that I am under is that once it’s absorbed into the first layer of the skin (or once it’s dried) you are good. I wouldn’t shower right after it dries but after the gym is fine. I work out in the AM, shower, then go to work. I have successfully used transdermal products putting...

Good comment about visible abs, I was thinking 6 pack for some reason. Without seeing a picture I can only offer reckless speculation. I am not calling out or judging others advice at all!! I just don’t think we have the information we need to generate our answers. I can throw out some ideas...

Not the answer anyone wants to hear but genetics. Look at some professional competitors and the difference in their abs. Some, even when competition lean, don’t have that washboard 6 pack but rather more of a 4 pack look. Compare a few semi pro level competitors and look at the visual difference...

I will add.. I know how hard it is, after all the hard work and great progress, not to flex in the after pic ��. Many of us judge BF by abs. A lot more goes into it. How much muscle is in your legs for example. I would guess 13%

Great work! Next time don’t flex in the after pic. It will show a more accurate picture of the change. There are before/after comparisons which are basically unflexed vs flexed to show the difference flexing can make (intended to warn people about diet pill advertising tricks). Flexing &...

I fluctuate 5-10 lbs between morning and end of the day. After a night with a few drinks I’ll be 2-5 lbs lighter and look leaner. It’s completely normal.

They have meals cooked for them with macros perfectly brown down. The chef and nutritional coach do the work. Coaches for every aspect of the journey, dedicated solely to the 1 person and available 24/7 (my guess). Steroids in some cases = yes All day every day leading up to the role is...

Rpm was/is my favorite supplement ever. Don’t change a thing. No 2.0 or “better version” BS. I see AppJeff kept sneaking “one” aka The One in there. Just calling that out... Long story short, bring RPM back with no upgrades... new fancy ingredients may sell products but effectiveness keeps...

My doctor has told me to take it with food to increase effectiveness. I used to take it with orange juice and she told me that was reducing the efficiency. Personally I feel it lasts longer when taken with fats. I don’t necessarily notice more of a kick. I sometimes feel an energy rush from a...

Per my doctor: - Acidic foods will reduce the effectiveness. - Take with food will make it more effective (I think fats help). Same concept as tums discussed earlier. Per my experiences - frontload (example earlier 40/20 vs 30/30). 2nd dose is a kicker. There is already some in the blood...

I have dropped from 20+% to single digits without any traditional cardio. Circuit training being the closest thing to cardio. I know it's annoying to hear "diet" as an answer and on this forum I think it's over used but that's because the question keeps coming up. It's repeated so frequently...

I'll probably get some hate for this but what about taking just the basics and seeing how much progress you can make that way? When was the last time you logged just the basics? X factor, RPM, and activate extreme (old) was my favorite stack ever. Just to show where I am coming from. There...

Leg day = open the flood gates! Put that cheat meal to work building muscle. More muscle = more daily resting calorie expenditure. It was also my only chance to be able to walk again that week?

I like the anabolic diet by the way. Any diet that has a calorie deficit followed over time will work.

Try having your cheat meal after a work out. I always had mine on leg day. That way the excess calories have a chance to contribute to muscle growth, it doesn't ruin your day, it doesn't negatively impact you mentally, and you don't get off track. Find little tricks like the one above that...

Max, you said it right in your post, your trying to diet... Diet is everything. Every pound of fat will take 3600-4000 calories to burn off. If you burn 3000k calories a day and take in 2500 a day then it will take 7-8 days to burn 1lb of fat. This does not guarantee that will all be fat loss...

You'll never go wrong using a lean protein source as a guilty pleasure if you can find something you can at least pretend to love.

I like cottage cheese,diet pop on a rarity, light string cheese are my go to, casein shake, various veggies, those tuna pouches, love hard boiled eggs, cook up a full carton of egg whites and cover with franks red hot, I always just eat hand fills of turkey lunch meat just watch the sodium, and...
