Damn bro you are getting real lean! This is going to be crazy seeing this progress for all of us in the next 8 weeks! My goal will be to add 10 lbs while losing 3 percent bf! You guys all look like you just need to cut! Wish that was the case for me cutting is easy for me! Best of luck!
 
Day 28

550-XD at 0645hrs and 1745hrs. PCT Black before bed with G8. Weight and fat% remain the same...so says the scale and calipers, but the mirror says different...at least IMO. new veins are appearing and arms are looking better than ever. Tomorrow will begin the start of the last bootle of 550-XD. This LOG is flying by. I will check my fat and weight tomorrow morning fasted with the accumeasure as I was not fasted for my skin fold today (usually I am)

I continued the Leg Press 150lbx8 and 130x20 all strip sets with no rest 5/0/5 Tempo for all reps of this exercise

2 working sets (60 second rest between working sets) followed by 2 drops set until form failure directly following second set (no rest between drop sets). Aiming for 6-8 reps. Great session today. My strength is still climbing, and at a rapid pace! I took it really easy on the legs today, as my right hip really bothers me as I move parallel into a squat position.

Felt weak on the DB bench today. 55lb DBs felts like monsters for some reason.

Back shot from today...for the TRANSFORMER COMPETITION

 
Looking great man, your back is lean and looking great. Looks like you found a good place to take the pics to the lighting is much better in the new ones it isn't so bright you are washed out. You have really added a lot of meat to your chest on this run too. Looking Awesome!

Thanks bro, I actually took a page out of your book and took the pictures in front of the blinds. I agree much better! My back is looking good...front not as much...at least in front double bi pose, but you'll see that one in the comp thread. Lots of room for improvement. I think my bridge will kick things up a notch.
 
Oh... yeah! Looking good my Brotha from anotha Motha! Man this competition is gonna be Tits, I just can't wait until we are a few weeks into it and all looking so damn good! I wish we had a rich benefactor that could put us all together so we could take our final pictures side-by-side and go partying after, now that would be the best!!!

Omg so focking true man, I've met some cool mofos on here. That would be an epic ending to an epic thread/cycle!
 
Well that is inspiring for me, if you could shed that much in that short of time, then why the fug can't I ! Maybe I am not as much an underdog as I was thinking with the 550... I mean I still see me as the major underdog but this dog has been to the pound more than once and lived to tell about it.... oh my God another old fugger Quote :)

You know you're going to be hell to contend with Old Fugger. I think you're just trying to pull the wool over our eyes haha! Seriously though, 550-XD is giving me one hell of a recomp...if you go 8 weeks as Al is along with Epi-V you'll be huge and cut...go get you some dog.

You wound me sir!! To think that I could be Privy to such deception :( hee hee....
 
Dude you are killing the sh*t out of this log, everyone else better watch out in that transforming contest! So far so good with my diet, not even 1 thought of dirty foods yet i'm sick of the salt, I was flexing my pecs yesterday at the gym and they started to kind of "fold" or feather when i flexed them, through a shirt you could kind of see maybe a striation or 2 which boosted my drive. Cardio is helping too :)
 
@tiny, yeah it is pretty cool when you tighten your pec and see the muscle kind of roll up like a current is going through it. I still remember the first time I saw that I thought it was so damn cool.

Hell yeah! Trying to get that franco style chest you have. Felt that drop in carbs today though my chest didn't get as pumped and i wasn't as strong, oh well just went more technique oriented.
 
Some days are like that, as long as we keep working though we keep progressing.
 
WOOOOO Green the monster is back mofo's he is back!!! Dang good pictures brother looking lean and massive keep it up!!!!

Day 29

No changes in supplementation. Today was a burn day I hit an hour of steady state cardio and some abs. No adverse sides effects to speak of as of now. Still seeing awesome effects form the 550-XD and continued progress. I have started today on my final bottle which gives me about 2 weeks left in the cycle.

Training

Spin Bike: 30 minutes @ moderate resistance

Treadmill: 30 minutes @ 4.5mph

worked up a good sweat and I will continue to keep the card time up to around an hour on burn days. Tomorrow I will change up my training protocol to HYPERFITNESS.

Hyper fitness is insane... Crossfit is as far as I go lol.
 
Are you continuing to lean out are has that slowed. I heard one guy say it's slowed down some after 3 weeks, just wanted to know if that was typical. What a first 3 weeks though.

Click to expand...

I would say the leaning out has slowed but not stopped. It seems that the first 3 weeks really tore up the problem areas, but now I'm starting to notice areas that are becoming more vascular, areas that I really never could see veins before. To elaborate, I'm seeing veins in my calfs and further up my quads, also more pronounced veins in my lats. They are still under the skin, but they are threatening to pop...I'll give it a week or so. I'd say around this time would be a good time to start thinking about a bridge. I do like Als set up running this 8 weeks then bridging the last two into Epi-V.

I am planning on EPI-V but that will be after the contest. I could bridge into it early but don't know if it will arrive on time.
 
I was going to ask you if you were going to have the EPI-V in time to start the bridge we discussed. Of course that new edition to your arsenal is so strong it is going to be a hard go to beat you on the DMZ. Add EPI-V into that and HOLY CRAP. If you don't have the EPI-V I recommend you start the DMZ the last week of your XD then bridge from the DMZ into the EPI-V for the final shred.

Damn It, I am gonna advise myself into a situation where it is going to be hard as hell to win this.

On a totally serious note to everyone... I am not sure what this will do to our EPI-V, but it does have 1-3 Dimethyl in it and will need to be reformulated, not sure if we will get the batch we are waiting on before or not, I guess it depends if they have started on the order or not! But we will also need to reformulate our IGNITE-2 & our PRO-XANTHINE, 2 of our big Dog Winners :nutkick: Damn Government!!!

I am not saying I need a leg up but with the caliber of the competitors I would be lying if I said it would not be beneficial to me. I mean I know I can harden up on my own but that means lowering my carbs quite a bit too.
 
Day 30

I'll have to update tomorrow my Internet is down...again...thanks windstream! Don't feel like typing everything in on my phone.

I started the hyperfit protocol today and got a great workout in. Decided to drop my calories a bit as I bridge out of 550-XD and begin cutting up. Got in 2,415 total calories today.
 
Day 30

Supplementation remains the same. I am adjusting my calories aiming for 2800 on builds (down from 3200) and 1900 on burns (down from 2200).
I started the hyperfitness protocol yeterday and plan on doing this M/W/F with 1 hour of steady state cardio Tue/Thur/Sat leaving Sunday as an off day. I will be bridging into DMZ soon...more updates on that later.

Wow I completely missed that part. Oddly I thought he meant a workout program or something lol.

TG that's a pretty long oral run.
 
I think from our discussions he is only going to run DMZ for 4 weeks. With DMZ that will be plenty. Yeah this workout may result in some back pumps, make sure you load up on some taurine Green.
