Day 31: Delts midback biceps

I noticed a lot of vascularity today. Vens were popping out every where. Even the main one that runs the leangth of the bicep was out today. That felt good. I was sweating so much during my workout. My sweat has been up alot since i started at2 but today was just ridiculous.

I figure this was the combination of at2 erase and anabeta. Unfortunatly I finished AT2 today. im really considering picking up another bottle to keep the synergy going.

Diet was close to what i ate yesterday.

Here is the workout.

Weekly weight in

Weight 81.9 kg (-2kg) (i dont really want to go much lower, im almost back at my weight before i started lifting)
Bodyfat 14% (-.4%)


So i lost 2 kg this week (4.4 pounds) but unfortunatly only .4% of it was body fat. I dont know weather to be conerned that this was muscle. ****, if i do the same thing again this week i'll be back in the 70kg range....and being honest dropping from 93 kg into the 70s will be a big step backwards. Honestly, i know i was cerrying some fat at the 93kg mark, but i never thought id be close to the 70kg range again.


Aside from that the erase is running smoothly and seems to be a good addition. Im cruizing at 3 caps a day with no issues. Ana beta is anabeta. My vascularity was way up all week.

Cheers.

I don't blame you, I don't use cardio for fat loss either.

As your body fat gets lower the methods you use for fat loss get stricter and stricter.

Bye bye weetabix!

 

[Docmattic]

Ive really been working my ass off on cardio thinking i was dong the right thing too! I cant believe it hasnt been working that well.

And, nutrician wise I also didnt think wheetbix are that bad per 2 biscuits (i have 3):
These are really the only carbs (Non vegetable) aside from a small amount post workout ive been taking in.

Calories (cal)	118
Protein (g)	4.1
Fat, total (g)	0.5
- saturated (g)	0.1
Carbohydrate (g)	22.1
- sugars (g)	1.1
Fibre (g)	3.6

Would cottage cheese with a scoop of whey be okay instead? Or am i going back to egg white?

 

[bdcc]

I am the wrong man to ask, I am a carnivore through and through so breakfast for me = meat.

Steak and eggs are delicious...

I posted a study a couple of days ago on my blog. It doesn't necessarily relate to someone of your body fat but thought you might find it interesting anyway, my own notes are at the bottom.

http://bcpersonaltraining.blogspot.com/2011/10/save-your-carbs-for-evening.html

It would be a shameless plug but there is nothing for you to buy on my website so it wouldn't be plugging anything.

 

[Docmattic]

Thanks Ben, an interesting read. I'll try it depending on my results this week.

Day 39 Cardio

I decided to have a day off today but i did a fasted hiit workout this morning
This workout was a bit different and i did it in my back yard. Its called the sledge hammer workout.

[video=youtube;b285tQti7sY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b285tQti7sY[/video]


I did this for 20 mins (the video only recommends 10) with a 60 meter shuttle run added to the circuit after the star jumps. It was awesome! It totally beats cardio at the gym. I was still sweating after my shower. Im going to do this as often as i can.

 

[Docmattic]

Weekly weigh in.

81.8kg (-.1kg)
Bodyfat: 13.6% (-.4%) (i had 4 visible abs this morning)

Nailed it! pure bodyfat loss this week. I'm very happy about that. Sure, id like to see more but at such little weight lost.....i'll take that any day of the week. I also felt like id put some mass on this week (i can see it in my arms-they're a little thicker) so this also indicates to me that this is true. PES and ANAbeta together are off the hook! I feel full pumped all the time, vascular and overall really confident. This feeling started kicking in 3-4 days ago. I like it! I didnt get this in my first run of AB.

Changes i made: I started eating bananas (2 max a day)
I started eating more nuts
I reduced my cardio from 30 mins (post workout) to 10 mins HIIT and five mins cool down. I only sprinted for 20 seconds each minute.

Funny thing is though i dont know if i trust my scales anymore. I took 7 measurements this morning. Each of them were different with bodyfat (and weight) changing each time. However i took the first measurement like always. Then, i found my fat calipers and took measurements trying to make myself as fat as i could (ie i wasnt trying to cheat) I got 11% bodyfat from them. Which to believe?

Anyway, very happy with the results this week. Im going to try add in that in that sledge hammer workout this week.

Edit:
I've also broken out with a few zits this week. Im not concened about it, i just thought id note it. However, theyre actually quite sore which is different to usual. I dont know if this is stress related or from erase.

 

[Docmattic]

Day 40:
I was so snowed down with uni work today i didn't get a chance to get to the gym. I had a funny feeling this might happened and got 20mins of hell in with the sledge hammer again. I also did a little home workout with what i have here. Nothing major though.

 

[bdcc]

Congratulations on starting to nail the recomp. I would have ditched that type of cardio ages ago. Next stop Weetabix!

I am pleased you are enjoying AnaBeta and have such high regards for PES. If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.

Ben

 

[Docmattic]

Thanks Ben!

Ive ditched the Wheetbix and moved on to an omelet. 7 egg whites +2 yolkes. Its giving me the energy i need. I gotta admit, a recomp is a lot harder than people make it sound. Hopefully now i've found somthing that works i'll see great results. If im still going strong at the end i'll get another bottle of anabeta+erase and add another 4 weeks.

 

[bdcc]

Recomp difficulty is inversely proportionate with how high your body fat is. The leaner you get the harder it is.

Keep in mind that the rules change as you get leaner. If you are low carbing the refeeds can become more frequent and the rest of your diet has to become more strict.

Day 43: Bi's, midback, delts

Still feeling awsome and was rocking it in the gym today. I made a lot of visible progress this week. For example, my bicep is starting to separate from my shoulder and get that curve running behind it. Im nearly where i want to be visibly i think. Im just a light pull on the skin away in most areas.

Good work so far man ! I'm looking forward to starting my anabeta erase titanium and daa!

That should be an awsome stack man! enjoy. Is it a cut or bulk run?

 

[Docmattic]

Day 44: quads glutes, hams lower back.

**** im loving this ride at the moment.Looking leaner again today, it feels great! Erase and anabeta are perfect together.

BDCC: Ive been following your suggestion of only eating carbs in the evening-bar a few vegtables during the day. I think its working. And it makes sense too....you can burn more fat while your insulin levels arnent spiked (from carbs) during the day and get your glycogen back at night.

Day 50:

Sorry, i didnt update over the weekend, university has been really hard and i was getting 4 papers in at once. Fortunatly ive finnished for the year Over the weekend i weighed in and dropped to 13.4% fat at 81 kg. I did my sledge hammer workout on saturday and sunday and circuit work on monday

It consisted of 20 mins pushups,shoulder press and ab work followed by 15 mins of bi and back work followed by box jumps and sprints followed by leg work. However, i probably shouldn't have done it... i had the worst game of basketball yesterday ive had in months.

Today was Bi's, midback, delts,

Congratulations on the progress. Almost there now.

Don't be shy on bring strict and implementing a refeed rather than a consistent intake. I still kept my carbs as consistently low as I could on AnaBeta and tried to always save them for the evening. If I was cutting I would have implemented strict low carb days instead. The rules for lean people are not the same rules for those getting lean.

 

[Docmattic]

Ive really been struggling with hunger over the last three-4 days. Its been hard to control myself. Safe to say ive only had a bad cheat once-i ate an icecream after basketball-it was the only thing i could find in the house. It tasted good though! Other than that i have been increaseing carbs slightly to satisfy the hungar. Visually this doesnt seem to have harmed my progress and the 5th ab was out thismorning (flexed). Nearly there.

I'll be finnishing anabeta soon. Probably two or three more days left. I still have a few more days worth of erase. Should i tapper down from three to two for the last week or just stop cold?

Day 59 Ive been feeling a little over trained this week so i kept this session lighter than ususal. I figured somthing was better than nothing, but i didn't kill myself. I also skipped lower back as it was a little sore after basketball (i took a rough fall). Today was also my last day of Anabeta. Ive still got a few days left on erase. I'll post my final weight + pictures once im done.

I'm curious about your final thoughts on the Anabeta/Erase stack. I'm wondering if I should give anabeta another go or not. I'm about to finish up a Erase/Titanium stack and I've LOVED it.

 

[Docmattic]

Hey Rahl

I haven't forgotten. I finished erase today and got some progress pics. I just need to get someone to take a lat shot for me. I'll write a final review when i have all the pictures. It was a bit dark at the gym today because of the weather though, so hopefully they turn out okay. Otherwise ill have to take them again.

 

[bdcc]

Photos!

 

[Docmattic]

Always! no log is truly a log without pictures. IMO pictures speak louder than words.

I would have done it tonight, but i was seeing Xzibit live. I just got back from his show. It was off the chain.

Final results/review

Okay id really like to thank pes for the opportunity they gave me here to log their product. I made my best effort the entire time to get the most out of this stack. Overall i dropped a good amount of body fat. I started on day one at 85 kg at 15.5% body fat and finished at 81.4 at 12%. My hips started at 37 inches and finished at 33.5. My waist was 35.5 inches and is now 31.5. However, i went and did a skinfold reading and measured 10% bodyfat as well.

However, words dont mean a thing- i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Ive decided i wont rate everything out of 10. However i will give pros and cons of each.



Anabeta/Alpha-t2
I had already been trimming down for about 5 weeks before i started this log. My strength had been declining slowly (understandably). So i thought these two would be a great way of kicking this stack off. While on this part of the stack i noticed that when i was in the gym i really worked hard-i pushed harder than ever before. I had not cut my calories as drastically at this point and was setting new pr's on every aparatus. My strength was through the roof and I was sweating like crazy. I was actually beating pr's i hit while i was bulking. I did notice a strength gain in my solo anabeta log as well, and it kicked in at about week 2 both times. My vascularity also started to become quite noticeable towards the end and i even got a few comments from people in the gym.

I found the stims in at2 helped me keep going throughout the day and i did not need as much caffeine as usual. I also felt like i had to do a lot of cardio after each workout while combining these two supplements. I think this was detrimental and i lost some muscle mass towards the end as i was doing too much cardio after long weight sessions. Really i should have known better. The only real problem i had came from AT2. Sometimes(not all the time) it have me a strong rapid heart beat. This often made it difficult for high intensity cardio like basketball and i struggled in some games.

Pros:
Strength gain (while not reducing calories too much)
Increased vascularity
Strong drive
Increased energy
Very strong thermogenic effect.
Cons
Sometimes affected heart rate.



Anabeta/Erase
This was the second half od the stack which i started after a week break due to sickness. Both kicked in pretty quickly and i could feel a major difference on erase. I actually preferred this stack because i did get an increased heart rate and really noticed an increase in endurance. What i was really impressed with about this part of the stack is that i started to recomp even on a fairly large calory deficit. For example, one week i lost .6% of body fat, had the same hydration levels, but only lost 100 grams. I was very impressed.

For comparison sake i'll mention that my strength went down while i was sick. While i was not eating as much as before i did notice my strength do back up. I was not setting pr's, but i was not disapointed non the less.

The other prominent pros were the vascularity, and the positive emotional feelings this gave me. I woke up feeling like the f*cking man some days. And I really noticed the leaning effects of erase. I really noticed this in my face and mid section. After being off of it a few days though ive had a little water come back in to these areas. I wish i took the photos of my abs before today-lol.

The only con from this that i can recall is acne. It wasnt bad, i just got a few big red zits. My joints also started getting a little tight towards the end of the bottle. I then started to tapper down.

Pros
Strong recomp effect
Great sence of well being
Flushes water
Increased endurance
Further increased vascularity

Cons
Acne
Tight joints towards the end.

Would i use this again?
Yes. Id love to try them all at once but im a big fan of Anabeta/erase.

In summary
I'd like to Thank PES again for the opportunity for logging this. Thankyou natty for initiating the offer and Ben for your support and advice throughout-- If you are ever looking for someone to log any new products i would be more than happy too. Its been a great run.

Unfortunately I couldn't get a lat shot yet but i tried to do similar shots to the before photos. Ive got a few extras as well. I'll try get a lat shot up tomorrow. All photos were taken cold with no pump.

Pants tell the story. Great work.

 

[Docmattic]

Thanks mate. It was hard work. Id like to get a little trimmer, but i dont think i want to loose much more weight. However i definatly need a break from dieting. Im going to try maintain for december with christmas and holidays comming up and then see what i can do in January.

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

Bigger in the arms bro.
Looking meaner!!!
Maintain for while?then lean bulk/recomp a bit later? Good work man. What was your average intake of carbs per day?

 

[Docmattic]

Thanks mate! My arms are actually smaller by 1/2 an inch but they look a lot better!

I didnt count all of my carbs- i ate as many vegetabels as i wanted. I did count starchy carbs though. The most effective was when i limited to 1 meal post workout with 70gc arbs. I had a refeed every 4-5 days or when i felt i needed it if i went longer. I also threw in a bananna every now and then on weight days.

Are they the ones Posted above in previous posts? Looking schmick man

 

[Rahl]

Wow. Great work man. Huge change. Arms do look great.

I too noticed a great sense of well being and strength with erase. I was more impressed with erase than anabeta honestly. I will probably stack them next time.

Great log once again. The back looks actually looks larger.

I know diet played a major roll, but i think the recomp effects were greatly to do with anabeta and erase being combined. One week i didnt gain or loose any fat (according to the scales) but put on a pound. If i can do that everyweek when i build back up i'll be stoked! I think stacking erase anabeta and some generic d-aspartic acid would make a really nice stack.

 

[nattydisaster]

Hell yea man!!!

 

[mich29]

nice work.I can def see the weight loss and your arms look alot bigger.

 

[Docmattic]

Thanks guys.

Its funny how they look bigger but the measureing tape says otherwise. The difference must be the space the fat took up.
