Stubborn Fat Stack

Stubborn Fat Stack
Making your “trouble” areas disappear
By. Marc Lobliner and Derek Charlebois, Team Scivation


How many men find themselves relatively lean, but still having trouble getting that last little pinch (or grab!) off of their lower abs? And I know we’ve all known at least four or five women who swear that the only place they cannot lose fat is their butt and thighs. What gives?

Team Scivation has been looking into this issue and what can be done. I, Scivation President Marc Lobliner, competed in a bodybuilding contest last October and found that the last part to go, and it didn’t even go fully, was my lower abs. No matter what I ate or how much cardio I did, it just stayed there and the lower ab vein never came in! I was depressed!

The competitive season is back in full swing and I have decided to give it the old Boy Scout try once again. This time, that ab fat will be gone! After analyzing the cutting-edge Scivation and Primaforce supplements I had at my disposal, I chose three supplements to aid in losing this pesky, ugly fat. One of them is Yohmbine HCl.
 
Yohimbine HCL is an alpha2 receptor antagonist (Kucio, 1991). The catecholamine norepinephrine (NE) is released in times of stress and intense activity to increase the amount of available energy by releasing stores nutrients (i.e. fatty acids from fat cells). NE activates both the beta and alpha adrenergic receptors. Activation of the beta receptors increases fatty acid liberation from fat cells while activation of the alpha receptor inhibits liberation of fatty acids.

By blocking the alpha2 receptor with Yohimbine, the negative feedback caused by NE binding to the alpha receptors is reduced and fatty acid liberation is increased. Yohimbine has been shown to increase fat loss (Kucio, 1991) by increasing the amount of lipid mobilization and oxidation (Berlan, 1991) and blood flow to adipose tissue due to alpha2 antagonism (Galitzky, 1993).

Yohimbine HCl has also been anecdotally shown to help rid the body of fat in those stubborn areas and has been promoted as such. This became part of the attack plan.

But I wasn’t done yet. I have always been a fan of Alcalean (Acetyl L-Carnitine) pre-cardio to help mobilize fat. Here is why…


Acetyl L-Carnitine: The amino acid L-Carnitine plays a vital role in energy metabolism, specifically the transport of fatty acids into mitochondria where they can be oxidized. ALCAR is the acetylated form of carnitine and is the most popular form of supplemental carnitine. ALCAR is a potent antioxidant shown to have anti-aging, cardio-protective, cognitive enhancing, and adaptogen properties. ALCAR increases exercise performance by increasing fat oxidation (Hongu, 2003).

The mitochondrial enzyme carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT-I), the rate-limiting enzyme in beta-oxidation of fatty acids in skeletal muscle and liver cell mitochondria, is found on the outer membrane of mitochondria and carries fatty acids across the membrane into the mitochondria by binding to them. Increasing the expression of CPT will allow more fatty acids to be transported into the mitochondria where they can be oxidized while a decrease in expression will lower ones fat burning capacity. Exercise depletes muscle carnitine pools which results in the down-regulation of CPT-I (Loon et al. 2001). Supplementing with ALCAR can keep carnitine levels from becoming depleted thereby keeping CPT-I expression and fat oxidation elevated.

Yohimbine + ALCAR

By combining Yohimbine + ALCAR before cardio one should theorectially be able to enhance their fat burning capacity by (1) blocking the negative feedback of NE on the alpha receptors, leading greater liberation fatty acids from fat cells and (2) increasing CPT-I expression and therefore transportation of fatty acids into mitochondria to be burned.

But that’s not all, we have the king of all high-energy, sweat-inducing, kick fat loss into high gear fat burners with Dialene 4. This is a MUST in any pre cardio fat loss stack.


The Most Innovative Fat Burner Ever…..And This Time It’s For Real!

It has been a couple of years since our ally in fat loss, ephedra, was forced off of the market. Since then, we have been fed false promises by companies saying that they have found the next ephedra, or made ephedra obsolete, or…..you get the point. The bottom line is that when it comes to fat loss and energy, these products let you down. In fact, they might have let you down so much that you still buy ephedrine HCl and stack it with these so-called fat burners.

The Scivation team has been working hard to formulate the dream fat burner. Then one day, Scivation Advisory Board Member, Biochemist and Natural Bodybuilding Pro Layne Norton presented Scivation Director of Research & Development Chuck Rudolph with a compound with such impressive data that along with Derek Charlebois, they began immediately working. What came about was perhaps the ultimate fat burner.

This is a fat burner that does everything you need it to and not only helps you shed fat like crazy and provides energy beyond belief, but also has a myriad of other benefits. Layne Norton, one of the main researchers behind the Dialene 4 project, states, “The compounds present in Dialene 4 have multi-faceted positive impacts on body composition and health. Dialene 4 contains compounds that increase the liberation of free fatty acids from stored bodyfat and contains ingredients that increase the oxidation of those fatty acids, leading to an increase in the rate of fat breakdown.”

This might sound too good to be true and the research points to these conclusions, but what happened when we actually tried the product? Scivation Research & Development team member Derek Charlebois was lucky enough to test Dialene 4 out and was blown away by what he and the Scivation team had discovered. “My experiences with Dialene 4 have been outstanding. The first time I took Dialene 4 I noticed an increase in heart rate, body temperature, sweating, and a greater pump in the gym (perhaps due to increased blood flow). I also experienced an almost euphoric energy high and enhanced focus in the gym. There was no crash in energy and I did not feel burned out once Dialene 4’s effects wore off. Dialene 4 packs a serious punch and definitely gets your metabolism kickin’!

But the main thing to overcome was delivery. How could Scivation take these innovative compounds, like the components of the LipoLean™ Blend, and make it so everyone could reap the full benefits of this wonder-supplement? Team Scivation got to work. Using a patent-pending delivery system known as Sci-Caps™, Scivation was able to reap the benefits of the G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix, the CogniLean™ Blend and the LipoLean™ Blend and deliver them quickly and effectively. “We feel that no one will be able to mimic this product for a very long time. With these compounds, proper delivery is crucial. This is where Scivation stands alone,” says Marc Lobliner, President of Scivation.

The man behind the project, Chuck Rudolph MEd, RD, has put countless hours into this project designing Dialene 4 and perfecting the Sci-Cap delivery system. Chuck is very excited to launch Dialene 4, stating, “I am excited to finally release Dialene-4. This project has taken us quite some time to develop and has involved countless hours of research and development. The total formulation along with the G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix™ and its effect on noradrenaline, as well our patent-pending Sci-Cap delivery technology, is assured to deliver a great energy burst as well as assist in fat burning.”

If you want fat loss you can feel, look no further than Scivation Dialene 4. For those of you looking for some science and a background of the advanced Dialene 4 formula, read on. Dialene 4 could very well be your ticket to the body of your dreams….


Dialene 4—Fat Loss You Can FEEL!

Stored Triglycerides—Body Fat We Want to LOSE

While all cells contain some fat, it is mainly stored in muscle (intramuscular triglycerides) and in adipose tissue (body fat). Adipose tissue is the body’s main fat storage site.

Adipose tissue is divided into individual cells called adipocytes. These adipocytes hold stored triglyceride (1 glycerol molecule bonded to 3 fatty acids) droplets, which serve as a source of energy for the body. These droplets make up 95% of adipocytes volume. In order for this storage of potential energy (60,000-100,000 kcal) to be used and to LOSE BODYFAT (everyone’s goal), it must be mobilized through lipolysis.
 
Lipolysis involves hydrolyzing (splitting with water) the triglycerides into a glycerol molecule and 3 separate fatty acids (FFA). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL):
Triglyceride + 3 H2O ▬HSL Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids
Once the fatty acids diffuse (exit) from the adipocytes, they bind to plasma albumin (a protein in the blood) in order to be transported to active tissues where they can be burned. In order to lose body fat, the fatty acids must be burned!

Transport of FFA to be Burned

Blood flow is of prime importance to the transportation of FFA away from adipocytes and through the circulation to active tissues. This is especially important during exercise where energy requirements are heightened.

Low blood flow could cause the accumulation of FFA within adipose tissue (Coppack et al 1994) resulting in less available FFA to be oxidized and a greater chance of FFA re-esterification into triglycerides. Increasing blood flow throughout the body will assist in losing weight by transporting FFA to where they can be burned.

FFA Oxidation—Burning Body Fat

When the albumin-FFA complex reaches muscle tissue, the FFAs are released and are transported into a muscle cell. Once in the muscle cell, the FFAs can re-esterfy (rebind) with glycerol to form triglycerides or bind with intramuscular proteins to be used for energy production in the mitochondria.

In the mitochondria, the fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation. During beta-oxidation, fatty acids are converted to acetyl-CoA. Once the entire fatty acid molecule is degraded into acetyl-CoA molecules, they are sent into the citric acid cycle. ATP (the body’s main energy source) phosphorylates this reaction, then water is added, and the H+ are passed to NAD+ and FAD to be sent to the respiratory chain to be oxidized to create more ATP.

Beta-Oxidation is an aerobic reaction because oxygen is needed to bind with the H+. Remember, without oxygen, the H+ stay bound to NAD+ and FAD and the respiratory chain cannot transfer electrons and NADH and FADH2 levels accumulate, which stops fatty acid catabolism.

Glycerol Catabolism

The water-soluble glycerol molecule formed from lipolysis can diffuse from the adipocytes into the circulation. The liver can use the glycerol in the circulation to form glucose through gluconeogenesis. Glycerol is accepted as 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde, which degrades to pyruvate to be oxidized for ATP in the citric acid cycle. The H+ are accepted by NAD+ and sent to the electron transport chain.

Glycerol also has a gluconeogenic role as it provides carbon skeletons for glucose synthesis. When glycogen levels are low or depleted, glycerol can serve as an important fuel source, which is important when dieting to lose body fat since calories will be decreased.

All of the above may seem like a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo, but it is the basis around which Scivation’s new fat burner Dialene 4 was created. Now we will show you how Dialene 4 works to increase fat loss!

Dialene 4 Increases Adrenaline Output

The ingredients in Dialene 4 work synergistically to increase Adrenaline output. The term “adrenaline” is commonly used to refer to the body’s excitatory catecholamine, Epinepherine (E) and Norepinepherine (NE) (Dopamine being the third catecholamine), which are regulators of lipolysis.
The sympathetic nervous system’s postganglion neurons release NE as their neurotransmitter. When large amounts of NE are produced during times of stress, it can “spillover” into the blood and act on receptors throughout the body. Catecholamines can act on adipose tissue via direct sympathetic innervations or the general circulation (Coppack et al 1994).
Catecholamines act on the alpha (1 and 2) and beta (1, 2, and 3) adrenoreceptors throughout the body, with E having a greater affinity for the beta-receptors and NE for the alpha-receptors. Activation of the alpha1 and beta-receptors is lipolytic (causes fat breakdown) while activation of the alpha2 receptor is anti-lipolytic (blunts fat breakdown).
At rest, plasma catecholamine levels are low, causing the lipolytic rate to be regulated by the inhibitory action of the alpha2-receptors (Horowitz 2003). During exercise, the large increase in catecholamines causes the activation of the beta-receptors to override the alpha2-receptor inhibition of lipolysis and whole body lipolysis increases. This is where Dialene 4 comes into play. Using Dialene 4 during the day when plasma catecholamine levels are low allows you to overcome the inhibitory action of the alpha2-receptors and stimulate lipolysis (fat breakdown). Dialene 4 accomplishes this by increasing NE release and keeping NE levels elevated.

Norepinephrine’s (NE) Role in Lipolysis
1. NE release from synaptic nerves
2. NE binds to beta-adrenergic receptors
3. Stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins (G-proteins) within the cell membrane activate the enzyme adenylate cyclase
4. Adenylate cyclase converts ATP into 3'-5' camp
 Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) halts this step
 Prostaglandins have receptors coupled to inhibitory G proteins (Gi), which decrease adenylate cyclase activity and thus decrease cAMP concentrations in the cell.
 When a beta-adrenergic agonist such as NE stimulates a fat cell it produces adenosine. Adenosine interacts with its receptor coupled to regulatory G proteins (Gi) which inhibits adenylate cyclase activity and prevents the accumulation of cAMP
5. cAMP binds to the regulatory subunit of protein kinase A
6. Protein kinase A releases its catalytic subunit
7. The catalytic subunit phosphorylates Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL), transforming it into the active form, HSL-P
8. HSL-P catalyzes a three step hydrolysis reaction to reduce triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids
 Re-esterification can occur (Lipogenesis)
A summary of the above scientific jargon is NE increases lipolysis, which is vital to fat loss.

Dialene 4 Ingredients

B Vitamins
Vitamin B3 (Niacinimide USP): 75mg
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl): 50mg
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): 25mg
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin): 100mcg
The B vitamins are essential to whole body metabolism, especially fat loss. We included the B vitamins in Dialene 4 to ensure your body has what it needs to burn fat at its full potential.

G4 Fat Incinerating Matrix 725mg
(Lean Green™ (Green Tea standardized for 50% EGCG), Caffeine (USP), Green Coffee Bean Extract (Containing Chlorogenic Acid, Feruloyl Quinic Acid and Neochlorogenic acid), Naringin

Lean Green™ (Green Tea Standardized to 50% EGCG)
The active in green tea is EGCG. EGCG has thermogenic effects and has been shown to assist in weight loss by decreasing dietary fat absorption, appetite suppression, and catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibition. COMT is involved in the breakdown of catecholamines (i.e. NE). By inhibiting COMT, NE breakdown is slowed and it is able to activate the adrenergic receptors to a greater degree and enhance lipolysis.

Caffeine USP
Caffeine, a plant alkaloid belonging to the drug class methylxanthines and is found in natural sources such as coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, and other plants, is the world’s most widely used stimulant. Caffeine is a Central Nervous System (CNS) stimulant shown to delay fatigue and improve cognitive performance.
Caffeine acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist. Adenosine decreases the release of stimulatory/excitatory neurotransmitters (i.e. norepinephrine [NE]). Therefore, blocking the adenosine receptor allows a greater excitation to occur by increasing NE’s ability to activate the adrenergic receptors.
Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE), causing a build-up of cAMP levels and greater effect of NE on fatty acid lipolysis. PDE blunts lipolysis; therefore inhibiting PDE allows lipolysis to proceed at an accelerated rate. The end result is there are more fatty acids available for oxidation after consumption of caffeine.

Green Coffee Bean Extract
Green Coffee Bean Extract contains lipolytic acids, specifically chlorogenic acid, feruloyl quinic acid and neochlorogenic acids. These acids have been shown to improve glucose tolerance, decrease fat accumulation, and increase lipolysis.

Naringin
Naringin is a citrus flavanoid found it citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges.
Grapefruit juice has been shown to decrease the breakdown of caffeine and prolong its effects and impact on fat loss. Naringin is believed to cause this effect from grapefruit. Adding Naringin to Dialene 4 will enhance the effects of caffeine.




CogniLean Blend 660mg
(N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, Phenylethylamine, D,L-Phenylalanine, Vinpocetine)

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
Tyrosine is a nonessential amino acids used to make the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, thyroid hormones, and the skin pigment melanin.
Stress, such as exercise, depletes the amount of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. Tyrosine supplementation has been shown to decrease the negative effects of stress, decrease fatigue, and increase cognitive performance. It is believed that Tyrosine supplementation can increase athletic performance by offsetting fatigue and reducing the risk of overtraining or “burn out”.

Phenylethylamine (PEA)
PEA is an amphetamine-like compound found naturally in the brain that is believed to elevate mood and have a stimulating effect.

D,L-Phenylalanine
D,L-Phenylalanine is a 50/50 mix of D-Phenylalanine and L-Phenylalanine. L-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid while D-Phenylalanine is a non-protein amino acid that is not used in protein synthesis. Phenylalanine can be metabolized to PEA and is also a precursor for norepinephrine and dopamine.


Vinpocetine
Vinpocetine increases circulation and blood flow to the brain. Just like cayenne, vinpocetine’s ability to increase blood flow aids in the transportation of fatty acids to tissues where they can be burned.



LipoLean Blend 325mg
(Cayenne Pepper 40,000 HU, Citrus Peel Extract (containing limonene and terpinen-4-ol), Evodiamine)

Cayenne Pepper (40,000 HU)
Cayenne peppers have been used for centuries as a folk medicine for stimulating circulation, aiding digestion and relieving pain (topically). Cayenne increases thermogenesis by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood circulation. Blood flow to adipose tissue is very important for the transportation of fatty acids to be burned. Increasing blood flow allows more fatty acids to be delivered to tissues where they can be burned.

Citrus Peel Extract (containing limonene and terpinen-4-ol)
Citrus Peel Extract contains compounds that are very lipolytic, two of the most potent compounds being limonene and terpinen-4-ol.

Evodiamine
Evodiamine is an alkaloid extracted from the plant Evodiae Fructus. In-vitro studies and studies done on rats have shown evodiamine to decrease fat uptake into cells, increase body temperature, and increase catecholamine secretion


Putting it all together

Taking the full dose of all of these stimulants may not be a good move for some sensitive individuals. I recommend the following stack for the evening lifter to maximize fat burn in those trouble areas. Wake up and perform 30-45 minutes of low intensity cardio on an empty stomach. As soon as you wake up, consume the following:

1. Dialene 4: Take one Sci-Cap.
2. Yohimbine HCl: Take five mg – ten mg (two to four capsules). Start with one capsule to assess tolerance.
3. Primaforce Alcalean: Take two grams (four capsules).

Pre weight training at night, consume:

1. Primaforce Primal N2O or Scivation vasoXplode: One serving.

If you train in the morning, this might not work for you. This is meant for those who do cardio in the morning and train later in the day. Although, the following stack might be worth a shot!

1. Primaforce Primal N2O or Scivation vasoXplode: One serving.
2. Yohimbine HCl: Assess tolerance up to 10mg


We all want those veiny, rock-hard lower abs and this just might be the ultimate supplement stack to help you reach that goal. Kiss ab fat goodbye with the Stubborn Fat Stack™.

Deadlifts at the buttcrack of dawn!

Today is the day my wife goes in to be induced! We do in at 9pm, start the drugs, and hopefully by tomorrow morning, our baby boy is here! This meant that I had to get EVERYTHING done ASAP. I did all of my cardio and training at 5am this morning. This was a great session!

But the hater of the day award goes to the fat guy at the gym. In the locker room, I was putting my sweatshirt on getting ready to leave and he says, “You’re on steroids, aren’t you?” I then said, “What the hell did you just say?” I was shocked. He then went on to say even dumber things and I just went and washed my hands and got out. What a tool! Usually, this is the greatest compliment. But the way he accused me and didn’t ASK me and the way he went on AND the fact that there were ten other dudes listening to this in the locker room, it just made me want to kick him in the nuts. But regardless, I laughed the whole way home and my wife and her cousin who is in town for the baby thing laughed their asses off.

Also, I will start letting Chuck and Derek control EVERYTHING in two weeks. This is how I got dialed in last year, and this is how I will dial it in this year. It is VERY hard and almost impossible to objectively get yourself ready for a show. This is why I am just going to let them handle it.

Back, Traps and Biceps. These bodyparts suck for me, but will be my best parts in November!

Another early ass session and I torched it. All I could think of was Atlanta and showing off the hard work I have put in. Well, that is somewhat of a lie. I was also thinking about my cool ass kids! This little boy is amazing and just so damn cute. He has blue eyes and is just a cute kid.

Anyway, the back session was great and I am feeling it now! Here is what I remember of it. I also added in 6.5oz grapefruit to meals 1 and 6 and tomorrow is HIIT cardio day with a new technique I am trying out!

HIIT

Today I just did HIIT. Since my hamstring pull doing HIIT last year, I play these as safe as a Missionary in a brothel. Thus, I like to ensure proper warm up and I NEVER do them on grass or anywhere but a cardio machine to avoid over-exertion or hitting a weird spot and sustaining a season-ending injury. Thus, my concerns were:

Proper Warm Up
High intensity but not stupid-injury intensity
Adequate cool down to burn fat and attain sexyness.

Here is what I did:

Warm up: 25 minutes at 3.2 speed and 0 incline. This got my heart rate up a bit and since I am Cut Diet and near ketosis, this went straight to fat burning and the sexy process began.

Burn Baby Burn, Disco Inferno: 15 sprints. 30 second sprint at 9.0 speed and 0 incline and 1 minute rest at 3.2 speed and 0 incline.

Cooldown: Walk at 3.2 speed and 0 incline until you hit 60 minutes.


This felt great, I didn’t get bored, and it brought on WTF vascularity (Sporto style).


I also did this first thing in the AM. Catabolism? Hell no. We have Xtend. 8 scoops pre and during cardio.

Shoulder, Triceps, Abs

This is 238 days from Nationals, *****es. I did Shoulders and triceps and NO chest due to my broke ass pec. BUT, I did get a PR in DB Shoulder Press with 120lbs for 6 reps. I felt as strong as a Spice Girl’s Kegel muscles. I trained with my boy Jason and we got it done Scivation style where the only talking was to make fun of other people in the gym. We talk so much trash we got halitosis.

Chuck dialed in my diet (attached) and the goal is to stay above 220lbs until 29 weeks out. We are at 30 minutes of LI cardio per day and training is 4-5 days per week. The Cut Diet is in effect, ya’ hurd?

Sleep isn’t going to happen with a newborn, so let’s see what my body is capable of. I have added blueberries to my Cut Diet in light of some new research that Chuck and the team has uncovered. The Cut Diet is a living, breathing document and will always have room to be even more effective! Time to go to Nationals and show them what shredded glutes and wide ass backs are all about. Time to represent. Pimpin’ ain’t easy, but it gotta be done.

LEGS fo da womens who like big bootys

236 days until Nationals, *****es. Legs on tap, and it was time to make them tap out. I went in and hit it like Ron Jeremy on Cialis. It got ugly. My joints felt nice and my squats were deep and slow. My legs, by the end, were so veiny and pumped that I thought I would bust through the skin and bleed out. Hell, after my lunges, my large ass was cramping! This was one for the ages, and I even nutted up and did 35 minutes of cardio PWO like Chuck told me to. It is Cut Diet time and it is time to win the big pro card. It is time to take what is mine.

HIIT and Posing

This is where my leg conditioning will meet its maker. My hammies just looked sick and veiny DURING this event Even my glutes were on fire. I am dialed in.

I do not represent Marc Lobliner, I represent the greatest group of bodybuilders ever assembled, Team Scivation, as well as the reputation of gurus Chuck Rudolph and Derek Charlebois. I will not let these people down. I will make sure that everyone is proud of me when I step on that stage and everyone looks up and says, “Holy crap, that bastard is dialed in.” I also want my daughter and son to look back at this and feel a sense of pride with what their Daddy accomplished. And on top of all that, I hope to get some victory sex from my wife. 


HIIT

Minutes 1-10: 3.2 speed and 0 incline.
Minutes 10-42: 30 seconds at 3.2 speed and 0 incline and 1 minute at 9 speed and 0 incliner repeated 20 total times.
Minutes 42-60: 3.2 Speed and 0 Incline

Posing: 15 minutes of pure sexy.

I have attached a paper that is one of the reasons why I now include HIIT.

Weight: 223 after carb meal. Full, veiny, abs deeper and just plain nasty!


Holy crap. There are only 234 days left in my prep. OH NOEZ! Time to step it up. This is Nationals afterall and there is no room for error. None. This is why I went in to train back today with the visualization of my back growing as big and wide as the entire stage. I want to be that guy with the big, striated back, glutes and hams. I was just talking to Chuck about how I felt after last night’s carb meal. I was full, veiny, and in the gym this morning, I had more veins than I have ever had in my life! Chuck the said, “Wait until five to six week out.” I am now even more determined to kick some ass.

I went in and hit it from all angles. I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with the waffle ball bat. I had the sickest, most intense full body pump and vein show I have ever had, and those who know me know that I am one veiny bastard. This was the workout that will help win Nationals for me. This is how Team Scivation rolls.

My broke ass pec. NOT ACCEPTABLE. 233 days until Natonals, I need to be in tact and ready to out-sexy everyone. Thus, I took a week off after my last pec strain. Today, I decided to come back SLOW and low and behold, no pain at all! I will not be stupid like last time and dumbbell fly 120lb dumbbells for 6 reps and strain it again. Oh no, kid, the Machine is coming back slower than Al Gore running after a carrot. Yes, Al Gore is still fat. I went up in weight slow and did my reps ULTRA slow. My chest got pumped, as pumped up as Kelly Pickler’s new boobies.

My shoulders got a decent workout even after my chest reawakening and my triceps were strong and very, very veiny.

My diet is spot on and I am dialed in. 233 days until the world sees this hard work. Unless I start stripping for extra money before that.

232 days out. Damn, my arms suck. I have legs tomorrow with the Asian Disaster, so I felt that my time would be best spent building up these weak ass twigs rather than running. This would also allow my legs to be ready for torture tomorrow. My arms are not ready yet. I needed to pound them. They need to grow. And that I did. Volume, intensity and just stupidity. I then stretched my arms (I always stretch the bodyparts I worked PWO) and did my cardio and I am done for the day. My diet is perfect.

Kurt Weidner is prepping for his pro show and sent me this yesterday. If y’all don’t know, Kurt is the most shredded natural or hell, even enhanced bodybuilder I have ever seen and is a Team Scivation athlete, one of the select, few, elite athletes on this amazing team. He is also one of my best friends. His writings always make me realize why I do what I do. We want the best and do not settle for mediocrity. Without further ado, Kurt’s words:

“18 weeks out

Another weekend in paradise. What was I doing? Thinking about blasting shoulders on a Sunday morning when all the other f***ers are still sleeping. Saturday morning my ass was on the treadmill at 6am thinking about what I needed to do this season so I can bring it when I step onstage. Of all the horrible things in life that can happen to you, disappointment is the worst…probably because it’s usually the result something you had the ability to control. 18 weeks…that means a limited number of opportunities to leave it all out there, so when I step onstage I’ll know I took every measure possible to be my best. How many others can say that? It doesn’t matter. All I worry about is me. If the guy standing next to me at the end of the night on show day worked as hard and was able to beat my best I’ll turn to him, shake his hand and congratulate him….but if he beats anything less than my best, then I will forever question myself and live with the pain until given the opportunity to redeem myself. For 18 weeks that’s what I’ll be thinking about because I’d rather endure any degree of pain in the gym on a daily basis than live with the pain of knowing I could have been better!!!”



This got me pumped and ready to kill it! Kurt is the freaking man!

I brought back some bodypart splits for a change and hit chest. 229 days out from Nationals, *****es. My chest feels fine, but I am having BAD mental issues. I will have flashbacks to my pec tearing and hear the noise. It makes me want to vomit everytime. So, as you can imagine, training chest and even going light is a hell of a crappy experience. I still got pumped, jacked and got it done and it was an amazing workout. Screw mental issues, it’s game time. If you can smell what The Machine is defecating! I made my chest my ***** and then I pimp slapped my biceps around just for kicks and giggles. I did some nasty pump sets and I didn’t even notice that the gym was busier than normal at 9pm. I just kept pumping and between sets, I’d hit chest poses and the veins would jump out like an Amish guy in Tokyo. It was insane. The Haterade in the thread over the weekend has pushed me over the edge. “I’m on the edge and just waitin’ on a hater to push me!”

Weight: 226 HOLY CRAP I AM GETTING LEANER AND GAINING LBM!


Today was an OFF day. I crushed it for two days in a row and today I recovered and let it GROW. I am up to 226 and as you saw from my last pic, I am dropping fat and gaining LEAN MASS! HOLY CRAP! The last time I got to 226, I was eating ~5k calories. Now, I am eating Cut Diet style with 2,600 calories daily and 3,100 calories on carb nights every 3rd night. I am in the freaking zone!

And with this go-around, I now know the IMPORTANCE of off days. All I did was 35 minutes of LI cardio and of course, office pallet building and box moving!
