You can keep the coffee homie. I cut that out of my diet too. I miss it sometimes, especially being here.

I'll stick with 20% for now and keep going the way I am. I don't want to get complacent.

Thanks Holmes. Work in progress.
 
Great progress bud. You're looking on track to be nice and shredded by summer.
 
Grab a cup from the pot. Grab a dip. Grab my tablet. Catch up on the forums and sports
 
I dipped for a couple months....made my gums bleed. No thank you.

Well played. Though I gotta say it became more of a boredom thing on deployments. That and everyone and their mom either smokes or dips or both when deployed...

My commute in the morning is at least 45min. By the time I get in, it's poopy time.

That's my morning routine. Coffee, Copenhagen and toilet

Mine is supps, drive/dip, poop, supps/lift. Close enough.

In that order???

Im a firm believer that black coffee and cope will put hair on your chest...and prolly your tongue

Shaving helps.

Well, I'm glad while catching up on the forums, you found my thread. Welcome sir. You're in good hands with Finaflex and their reps. Trust me, or trust my pics.

Ya I'm hoping to get shredded and this stack will help for sure. Your PX Black log convinced me to put my app in for the stack
 
Well that's badass then. Glad I could help. I haven't had the pleasure of using the rest of your stack but I'm sure it's good.
Stick to your program and eat right and things will come along. Once you get to where you stall, change things up. Don't get disappointed with the scale, it means nothing. How your clothes fit means so much more.
Congrats on being picked, it's a great opportunity.

why's that JB?

all we ever ask

i think it's a card game they play with like 33 cards out of the deck
:dunno:

The science I saw didn't wasn't enough to justify the price, not a lot of anecdotal feedback showing their efficacy.

Tried blox, didn't notice much but a good flavoring.

Although, I know finaflex claims the natural source makes a big difference (which I believe, but still not sure how big of a difference it could be)

Aint that the truth. I will be doing lots of both while across the lake im sure. Lol

So, it's been two weeks since I showed anything. Here's a pic post-breakfast. Midline is showing quite a bit more, back fat is slowly going away. Progress from start is pretty noticeable, I think. I guess this is about the halfway point from start until summer. I'm pretty sure, at this pace, I'll be shredded by my birthday (third day of summer). Still a way to go though.

Progress pics are all still on page 1 as well.

Yea buddy, PX Black is legit!
 
So, I ordered a couple of pretty neat shirts from Purus and this is what came in the mail today, quite unexpectedly, I might add.

Invalid Link Removed

For those of you trying to count because you are jealous, there are 45 Condense samples, 26 dpol samples and 13 Muscle Marinade samples, plus a shaker bottle. Boom.
I've never tried any of these products, so today is a happy day.

Thanks guy at Purus who stuffs 10 gallons of product into a 5 gallon box!!!
 
If I gota shirt I doubt they would send me that much, just my luck. Otherwise I would just order a shirt instead of preworkout next time, LOL.
 
BTW the core is looking a hellllll of a lot better man. You are doing solid work, keep it up.

I should have added that one of the shirts I originally ordered was not in stock so I had to change the order a bit. Either way, still a ton of free cool stuff.
 
nice, glad they made it good with you. I have high regard for purus. and good, keep it up.

10lbs until failure, approximately 20-25 reps with a couple of rest pauses. Ouch.

Here's the kicker...
Supps
1 serving Fat Smack (pre)
1 serving Dpol (pre)
1 serving Condense (pre)
1 MBCAAs (intra)
Had a serving of Muscle Marinade powder in my bottle, but never even watered it. The cocktail I made had me feeling like Rick James without even using the MM. I didn't know Purus was gonna send me a box full of superpowers. Yay. Great day in the gym.
Weighed for S&G and I am 185.5 post workout, fat is melting.
 
Awesome workout brother. Them abs will be all out in front pretty soon.
 
So, easy day today, and the rest of this week will be the same. Gonna keep things light, and low for this week. Have a PT test on Friday and I want to be as fresh and rested as possible to maximize my results.
Did some pressing movements for chest and threw in some tri stuff for good measure. Nothing spectacular to note. Supp list is unchanged minus the versa-1 that I ran out of. Pretty good supp overall. Can't say I noticed any spectacular gains or anything like that from it, but it aids in focus while at the gym. Being that that is its intended purpose (if I'm not mistaken) I'd say it does the trick.
Strained a hammy Saturday during game one of my softball doubleheader in the third inning. Sat for the next 4 innings with ice and compression and was good to hook by the start of game 2. Made a pretty nice completely laid out diving catch to save a couple of runs. Hammy is tender today, but it's fine.

You WOULD strain yer hammy :D

Bwahahahahahahaha, I almost spit out my damn pho when I saw that picture.
As for the hammy, idk what happened. I guess I need to do some more sprint work. Forgot how hard they are on the legs.
 
This weekend I took the liberty of eating a little more freely (as I do most weekends). I've seen pretty decent results with this approach and it's nice to enjoy the weekends anyway. Here's a small example.

Shrimp with fish sauce, lime juice and zest, peanuts and cilantro.
Carne Asada
Flat iron steak with my own marinate
Caesar salad
Assorted fruit

These are cored strawberries rolled in melted dark Godiva chocolate and then rolled in crushed cinnamon grahams, chilled and then stuffed with marshmallow puff and drizzled with the smallest amount of kosher salt.

And....whammy! These little gems will be joining me intra-workout tomorrow. Pretty sure things will go "silky" smooth. Mmmmmm, apple.

It sure as hell is. Everyone that's tasted it so far was like "damn, that stuff is good!". I am impartial. That being said...
Damn, that stuff is GOOD! I was gonna wait til tomorrow and have my first serving intra-workout, but wouldn't it be horrible to try a supplement that tasted horrible while you were working out, and not having something to replace it with? Yeah, that's what I used as my excuse for cracking the seal early, don't judge me.
I mixed one scoop with 8 oz cold water. Jar says between 6-12 and I don't have a 9 oz mark on there so I just went with 8. I'll stick to that.
Can't wait to drink it again. That is all.
 
Easy back day this morning. Like I said, nothing exciting this week. Sort of a deload, I guess. Not that I needed it, but I have to save up some gusto for Friday morning.
In related news, if you like Jolly Ranchers, I got something for you. It's called Finaflex Apple Fusion BCAA/SAA. This stuff is delicious. It mixes very well and dissolves very quickly. I haven't had enough time to judge recovery, but if it works like it tastes, happiness is sure to come.

Haha yep, sounds like my gf. She's the impatient one though.. When she buys me **** she NEEDS to give it to me asap, it kills her to wait. And when I get stuff for her, she raids my room and finds it o.o

I don't get gifts.

Well, I intended on going easy this morning and just doing some LISS while watching YouTube videos but that didn't work out so well. When I got to the gym, I decided shoulders was a better idea since tomorrow will be a day of rest.

OH DB press (stayed light, focused on contraction)
40x14
40x12
40x12

6 ways
10x14
10x12
10x12
10x12

DB shrugs (3sec pause at peak)
75x10
75x10
75x10
75x10

Horizontal presses
10x10
10x10
10x10
10x10

Face pulls
120x10
120x10
120x10
120x10

Reverse cable flyes (hands starting high, finishing low; great burn in rear delts)
3x12 weight unknown

Upright DB rows (3sec pause at peak)
40x10
40x10
40x10
40x10

Kept all rest periods to 1min. Good workout, especially for such light weights.

Supps
1 serving fat smack
1 serving muscle marinade
Apple fusion BCAA/SAA

Fat Smack is doing good things. I'm continuing to lean out, as planned, and appetite suppression is much better than it was in the beginning. I'm still eating, but don't feel the need to like I would without it.
Muscle Marinade is good. Real good.
Apple Fusion is one of, if not THE best supplement(s) I have ever tasted. It tastes like an apple jolly rancher, minus a little bit of the sour. It literally tastes like candy. I'll be better able to judge recovery next week when I get back to normal weight.
