Oh I am not going anywhere. I still have another month or so for this fun thing we started. But even then I wont be going far. Jan starts a big change for me and I can only hope that the results I expect come. The only way it wont is if my diet sucks, and there will be nothing to blame but me. I have ironed out the details for training days vs non training so we shall see soon.
 
Was such a bad boy last night. I drank almost the entire bottle of watermelon flavored tequila matgarita premixed drink. And didnt even have a buzz.... So bummed. More drinking to follow this weekend. Lol..

I took solace in these words as I pounded pizza, taco's and Chocalte Chip cookies from about 9pm 12/24 till around 9 pm 12/25. :bad:

Given all of that, knew I needed to get the rear in gear today.

Well some interesting thing have happened the last few days. Today is day 7 of taking the M1P on Pulse. I have seen my weight as far as the number go up. As of this morning I was up to 249. Man oh man was I pissed. I had no body to blame but myself. I ate a ton of food both good and bad over the Xmas weekend. Now here is the fun part. My boss at the office came in we obviously haven't seen each other since last Friday. Today he says now these are his words " Damn Jeff now how much weight have you lost. You look small but more muscular if that makes sense" Now I just chuckled because the weight number has climbed. To be honest I feel a tad leaner even with all the crap I ate. My clothes are fitting loser in the areas they should and tighter in the chest, shoulders, and arm area. Now as far as strength gains. I am not really trying to lift heavy. Been focusing more on form. My Bro saw some things while working out together and have made the steps to make the proper changes. Even if that means dropping the weight down to achieve this.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Awesome man, weight is just a number, IDC if I weigh in at 300+ as long as I am BEAST!
 
Well of course the holidays have taken there course and some weight was gained but are you happy with your results thus far. To be honest I am not happy. I should have gotten better results. Now the only thing that has made me be ok with the results is I was on PCT in the beginning and now I just started a PH so gaining is bound to happen. It was a bad time for me to do a weight loss competition but it is all good. Come a couple of days from now is when the real weigh loss should happen. As I will be starting a major cut for myself.
 
Honestly, I think I would have done better with more discipline Thanksgiving and Christmas etc but I have still seen some changes. The overall scale has not moved much but I can tell I am leaner. I guess you could say I got results but did not maximize the potential. Will post pics at the end to compare to the beginning photo's and let our followers decide.
 
ok so this morning I took some liquid clenbuteral and T3. I think I had a tad too much in the dropper. Kinda hard to tell being there is no marks on it. My dropper is 1ml @ the half way mark so I took half of the half. I am going to go get a new syringe that is marked to make it easier. After doing lots of research and talking to my doc about it. I will dose it for 3 straight weeks and take 3 weeks off. There are so many different views on how to dose it can be overwhelming. My Bro and I had a plan of taking it 1 week on 1 week off. But like I said after talking to my doc about it I chose to go with the way I described 3 on and 3 off. I was not going to start this until the first but figured I might as well start at a low dose of 20 for two days then hit it like this 40/40/40/60/60/60/80/80/80/100/100/100/120/120/120/100/100/80/80/60/60/40. The T3 will be dosed starting at 50 and pyramiding up to 125 and back down to 25 at the end.

I already feel it working. Have kind of a chill running through my body kinda funky but nice. No jitters as of now and no headaches as of now either.

Now as far as M1P I am dosing this now at 5 ml per day and have no plans on bumping it up. I was going to run it at 6 ml per day but decided not to. Tonight's workout will be shoulders as well as cardio.
 
The holidays are just about behind us now guys. My diet has suffered a bit too. Next week is a new year and time to kick it into high gear! You guys are both doing great by the way! :thumbsup:

No, that was fer trues LMAO. It's been awesome encouraging and even picking on each other during this. Thanks for being part of the journey brotha!
 
Yesterday was a success, no side effects what so ever. I went and got a new dropper that actually allows me to read how much I will be using. Yeah lol... this morning I took the same does as yesterday same thing with the T3. I had no problem going to sleep either.
 
12/29/11

while there was no side effects were evident. There is one thing that is weight gain. I am now sitting at 249. Come Monday the diet changes and other things added into the mix. I can't really tell if I have put on size due to M1P or just holiday eating. I can say it is a mixture of both after xmas I was at 246 and my diet has been fairly clean.

Well I am hoping my weight gain is due to the M1P because as of this morning I am up to 251. 9 lbs heavier than I was in the beginning of Dec. After xmas I was 246 so who knows. Today all my new supps are being started as well as my new diet. Here is my final pics for this log. Sorry to disappoint y'all. Funny thing is everyone that has seen me thinks I have lost even more weight so hope fully it is more of muscle gain than it is a fat gain.

^^^^^^^^^^ I am convinced that I can note some more mass and definition in your shoulder. My last weigh in put me in at about 274 if I recall bud, up from about 269 pre Thanksgiving and Epi run. This is a marathon brother, not a sprint, just don't pack it in (and I know that is not going to happen) and we will hit our goal sooner or later.

First workout of the new year was pretty solid. Had the day off so I had a fasted workout. The pictures posted don't really do justice to me since me skin chub is still evident. LOL. But the close are fitting loser and the weight has gone up so it is obvious to me that the M1P has helped with this. Today started the addition of all the supplements I will be taking as well as the new diet. Still will be following the lean gains protocol just lower calories to help me cut.

For the next 4 weeks an addition of an a extra rep will come into play.

Jeff just make sure your diet is very tight, I don't know how the water gain is on M1P but don't get off course diet wise. I have cycled stuff and swear I was looking good at around 240 and then after PCT into bridge I could see the fat gain due to extra eating. It's just not worth it when you're in your position. Use anabolics to help you feel better and stronger, but keep the diet tight. Remember I have been where you are, and tunnel vision is a good thing right now.

You guys just keep on pushing.. one workout at a time, that's your focus. Day after day, week after week, month after month it all adds up. That's bodybuilding, it's the little things we do each day that make that little bit of difference. Takes patience.

You are so correct. So glad you said this, we all tend to forget how far we have come. Even if pictures don't show it. But our clothes do.
