You should also add your height to your stats. So your idea of a re-comp is a lean bulk, cutting cycle? which one is it, and what are your goals exactly besides keeping your waist small ( freakazoid) Instead how about you make those lats grow huge and you will still have a small waist in appearance, YOur not a little girl ya know you are a man! MEN NEED BEEF! lol

Don't you worry bro ;) I got it all handled. I still go 5 times a week, and everything is going well. I just come back from gym and it has been great.. I just cannot walk normally right now ;) It's just that I worked 7:15 - 9:15 yesterday, and no, I was not able to get up at 5:00, else I would have burned myself.
 
DAY 7

Wow. Intense workout, and insane.

I DID:
Leg curls: 90, 90, 90 30 reps

One leg press 90, 70, 70 15 reps
Calf raises 165, 165, 165 30 reps

I do this kind of high rep workout once in a while to shock my legs and to push even further!
 
UPDATE: Everyone will be happy to hear that I am bumping the calories to 3700 for the next 14 days. :bb:
 
DAY 8

Well, I think it kicked in, as libido is skyrocketing. I am noticing a little more hardness on the muscles and a small enhance in vascularity.

Barbell shrugs superset with Rear barbell shrugs 3 sets 15-20 reps.

I am starting to feel a little groggy as of now, but I guess it comes with it :)
 
DAY 9

This was a so-so workout. I was in a hurry, and had to go train at 5:30 am, I just finished work, so it was a long day.

I did
BACK
T-bar rows 45, 80, 80, 80 8-10 reps
Dumbell rows 25, 25, 25, 25 8-10 reps
Wide grip lat pulldowns 120, 120, 120, 120 8-10 reps

This is all I did today, but the intensity was all there. I am starting to experience better, deeper sleep while on this product. In fact, I got to bed at 8:30 and slept all the way til 5:00, which is decent night's rest. I hope that it will be the same for this night.
 
Here we are for the diet. For now it will be the high calorie part for 14 days, and I alternate like this.

Jjohn,


Why dont you have your food seperated into meals? Its just one big blob for the day? If you are really serious about growth you will see that you must put some time into a better laid out meal plan. Do you realize my lifts are very comparable to yours??? and Im a woman of 43 years! That just started training in february of this year....... You need to eat, I think your just putting it out there like that becuase you dont want people asking how your diet is, but I cannot be fooled! I still eat more than you. You must get over your fear of fat if you want to play with the big boys, and I know you do! I want to see good things in your future, so you will have to put up with me!

I do eat this, and here's how I do it

Meal 1: 1 cup oats 8 egg whites 15 ml. olive oil
Meal 2: 1 apple 1 scoop whey
Meal 3:1/3 of the pack of ground meat, 200 g. brown rice
Meal 4: 1 apple 1 scoop whey
Meal 5(pre w/o): 1/3 pack ground meat, 200 g. brown rice
Meal 6(during and post): 1/2 of: 2 scoops gatorade 1 scoop whey, xtend
Meal 7: 1/3 pack ground meat, brocolli, 1 cup oatmeal, 8 egg whites
Meal 8: 1 scoop whey, 1 cup cottage.

50 g. almonds spreaded in the day

As for the lifts, I am not training for strength and I have had surgeries for hernias and I still have to be careful, so I focus on doing the exercises properly, and in perfect form.
 
DAY 11
Today is an off day. I feel incredibly rested, and optimistic. I feel very good, and seem to feel leaner, even if I upped the calories. Great, and hopefully, the scale will show some good numbers ;)
 
Am I missing something? Your High Cal day is less than half of my BMR. I know you're smaller, but dang thats some low cals. I got my 110lb 5'2" girlfriend eating 1500kcal a day to maintain dude.
 
High calorie is 3572 and low is 2550. Is that what you saw? Or just the total of protein cals?
 
Here's a small update on a back picture.
