KLEEN - Satisfies his Needtobuildmuscle with Transaderm - An NTBM Sponsored Log

why you gotta make me do dead lifts? I forgot whatta wall crawl is, so I am sooo looking forward to that embarrassment at the gym. ;-P
Well you won't do the dead lift yet will you? I guess it will be one heck of a test to see if the dizzy spells have improved.
WHOOOOT-WOOOOO (no idea how to spell a whistle..

Works for me!
 
Second thread, rather than run through everyone's logs posting up on this I will just ask you all in here to come support this other log I am doing for Muscle Marinade Cherry Limeade flavor. So far as of this morning I am impressed with the flavor. I heard some bad things about it before due to the EAA's but this flavor kicks azz! Most of my stuff will be in this log but I will post up my impressions on that there for the most part. However the support would be awesome.

Shameless Plug! - RS-Transaderm LOG, thanks for checking it out!!
 
Day 5 Accesory workout

Morning Supps - Muscle Marinade - 3/4 scoop pre workout with 6 grams BCAA from RecoverPro

Post workout - 6 grams BCAA from RecoverPro, after shower 6 pumps Transaderm and some skelly balm on shoulders and elbows.

I don't have much time so here is a pic of my log book from this morning. Everything was 15 reps except for the Wall Crawls which the surface of the wall was to slippery to continue them after 10 reps and me sweating already. Wall has decorative brushed stainless steel and hands were really slipping. I will change these to burpees /squat thrusts next week.

I was sweating like a mofo by the time this was done.

So burpies are squat thrusts? And yeah you were. lol. we both were
 
Yeah burpees are the same thing, and easier to say.
 
I'm jealousy. I used to get deep tissue once a week. Ish hurt like hell, but my body felt great from it the next (short of the occasional bruisnig).

True story. I used to get deep tissue once a week as well. I don't know why, but for some reason, it tickles me instead of hurting me, lol. The lady told me that it's not that common, but she has seen that before.

Nice job Kleen. Are you doing the 6g BCAAs Recoverpro before and after cardio as well or just workout days? I know you said something about skipping BCAAs on burn days before

No I don't I just ride the glucagon like peptide train to fat loss town. Keep the insulin down to a minimum the entire time I am fasting. Not worried about catabolism so I just save the money. Once I have some more bulks I will probably take them more often but for now I am keeping it low cost.

Yea IMO the body is pretty good at using protein if overall energy over a long period of time is kept where it needs to be to meet goals.

I may go that route sometime, but I've been still taking my BCAAs every day. It does get expensive after a while though for sure
 
Cardio Day

So today was a cardio day, I did the treadmill for 45 minutes and burned 577 calories.

Did weighted crunches on machine, 90 x15, 115x15, 115x15
Ab cruncher / 15 to each side and center was one set did 2 sets non stop.

I was sweating like a beast, I mean dripping everywhere.

Today was supposed to be a burn day and it has been up until now but I am meeting my cousin who is down from Dallas at Chili's shortly and we are going to eat and have some drinks.

As usual I put on my 6 pumps of Transaderm after my shower.

I am noticing that the RS-Transaderm is making me hold a little bit of water over my abs. Not a big deal but others on the product are experiencing this too so it is worthy of noting.

After this weekend I will clean up diet a little too since I have been a little more relaxed this week. This has basically been what I have been doing all year. I will get a little lax and clean it up and then I have another Lb of LBM gradually when I lean back up. Although my wife is wanting to cut so I may clean up even more just so it is easier on her to keep her diet nice and clean.
 
Yeh I figured Transaderm would cause you to hold more water. I know when I ran Dermacrine I did hold quite a bit on it, so it is expected I guess.

To be noted:
DHEA can and does aromatize into estrogen........at a pretty significant rate, I might add.
I advise one to run some sort of AI or anti-estrogen compound when using a DHEA based product.

That is true, but I don't recall hearing of it being a problem except for maybe at the higher doses. If I were dosing above 5 pumps I would go with the AI, but at RD I'm not sure how much its necessary

It's up to you. But if you're experiencing bloat and watered-over/blurry abs (reduced definition) then I would suggest the low-dose AI protocol.

I agree. If water retention is a concern, an AI low dosed would certainly help that for sure

Nothing 1 cap/day of some FINAFLEX PCT Black (with Arimastane) can't cure!
 
I am going to see what cleaning up the diet a little bit does for the water, but more than likely I will add in a low dose of AI. I was kind of hoping the AI in Transaderm would be enough to offset anything. The good news is no issues on the right nip which seems to be sensitive to that. I have been noticing a bit of dryness in my knees as of late but could very well be too much of an incline in my shoes when doing the leg exercises since the rest of my joints are feeling on point. I really need to buy some new training shoes...

About to saddle up and go to the gym here shortly. Only thing I am missing here is that my training is ALWAYS before my morning shower so if there is any immediate benefit to the DHEA pre workout I am not getting this. However since there is a conversion process it is unlikely. Also with the fasting for another 6 hours after before my meal am I missing out on any benefits of anabolism. I actually highly doubt it. Just a consideration. Oh yeah I weighed myself this morning and 200 lbs. However I can tell you without any doubt in my mind this is water related. HMMMM I guess I am off to take an AI. Nothing like seeing your abs start to soften to make you say HEY that is not okay.

Ever considered Vibrams?
 
I have thought of vibrams, and Scotty the only thing resembling work boots I have were made by FUBU. LOL

I was wearing my wrestling shoes and changed it up at recomendation of the guy working on my hip but then he said if I have high arches not to worry too much about it so going back to them today. However I want a minimalist shoe with a tiny bit of arch support. Main thing is just spending the money to get new shoes. I don't buy much for myself at all... EVER. Just for the wife and kids.

I may try those new Barefoot ones I think they are by New Balance...

Go to locator and enter in you zip so you can find someplace nearby to try em on. They feel weird at first but they are awesome! I have the the normal vibrams which I wear most of the time. I recently picked up the komodo ones and the grip on these things are ridiculous! Great for oly type movements as well as other exercises.

If you are weirded out by the toe separation then there are also the new balance ones. They have the same sole as the vibrams but are solid front without the individual toes separated.
 
I even REP'd Josh when I posted that, I own a pair of Vibrams myself, I just had to put some Smart-A$$ ****, could not resist! I Love my Vibrams, I have the old classics and they are great, if you are price sensitive, I recommend going into an Abba-Dabba, not sure if they have those in your area, but it is a shoe store here in Atlanta that sells the Fugg out of them and get sized, once you are sure of the size, because they run weird/different numbering scale or something, then just go online and order a pr, can pick them up pretty cheap from what I've seen!

It's all fun bud!

I am used to all the comments and jokes already. I swear I am like the only guy in my whole city with them. Everytime I wear then I get some comment from somebody walking by, not to mention my buddies who always poke fun. Just the other day I went to my friends house to watch a football game and had them on and the big joke was, "it looked like I had wide receiver gloves in my feet" .. LOL

As for price, they arent too bad. From the little running store where I got mines the regular vibrams were $85 and the komodos were $110 have you been in a sneaker store recently? Sneakers are crazy expensive now a days. I just bought my 5 year old son sneakers for school and shelled out $60!!!!! Vibrams aren't too bad comparatively speaking though.. Fila makes a tie sneaker version for $50 but I bought them and they only lasted a whooping 14 days before they fell apart. Stick with the either the vibrams or the new balance minimus ones

Actually my pair are black like that, but upon closer look, those are the neoprene ones and mine are not!!!
 
The first ones are the vibrams flow.. Those are the ones I wear most of the time. The pink pair looks like the komodos from the look of the sole of then
 
I have treksport and kso both excellent!
 
I like my pink shoes!!! They make me lift more

Nothing beats a good broke in pair of wrestling shoes for leg work in my opinion. I hate squatting and or deads with my flippin' heels elevated.
 
I have a black pair of KSOs and a White and red pair of Bikilas. I love them both.

I lift and run in nothing but Vibrams. I'm a wearer for life!!

Me too bud!

I don't know what u am gonna do in the winter :(

Do you wear socks with them? They are focking expensive! I paid $20 for only two pairs!
 
Black original five fingers and red/silver bilka's.... The lace up's are called speed

...and never worn socks with them, just chuck them in the machine when required

Same here, never wore socks with them, but Josh is talking about when it gets cold and he still wants to wear them, not because of sweat absorption!

... or I think that is what he meant???

Both actually

I wear my flows at work (12hr shifts consisting of walking/running the entire shift) and usually have socks on here. If not they would be stanking!! I usually don't wear socks when I am casually wearing them and have yet to perfect my forefoot strike so haven't really ran that hard in them.

I didn't know they were machine washable. Do you just toss them in a washing machine with laundry detergent? Light cycle I assume? And hang dry not dryer?
 
Minimal detergent, light cycle... Something like a wool wash (which is what we do) and hang dry (weather permitting) if not I stick them on top of a radiator cabinet (we have central heating for winter)

Been doing that over a year now, no issues at all
