Yes can't remember ever feeling quite this good. Getting very shredded already with some very nice size.

 

[DreamWeaver]

I see Chris making his move now and I am tempted but things are going so well right now for me I might just drop calories a tad and go with the same kind of plan I am on now.

 

[MrKleen73]

Yeah I am making my move, the coach had a pretty good plan, lowered carbs a few weeks back but kept fats higher to get the body used to burning them for energy, did that for 2 weeks then lowered fat and now my body is a fat burning furnace. So many ways to skin a cat Doug, I think you will do really well and that book I linked you too will really help out quite a bit.

 

[iparatroop]

Fat burning furnace...I need one of those. Amazon?

 

[MrKleen73]

I saw one at U-Bid, better prices but not as good of a return policy...

I was wondering what the reasoning was behind keeping the fat higher ... seems logical. Yah there seems to be some different ways of getting it done. After reading I decided to keep my carbs steady at 120 and keep the carb days. I will also keep the fats steady at 50. I did not see any sense in cycling carbs when I have the 2 carb meals per week to keep my metabolism up. If I mix starches like sweet potatoes with protein I will make sure get set some nuts in thee as well. This will also help balance my meals.

Cals will go to 2400 and 2700 on carb up days as I am replacing the last meal instead of adding it on carb days so not that high really.

With just two easy minutes a day you just burn fat away with the fat burning furnace. You may never have to get off the couch again lol

Thanks yes I am all over that makes all my poses better front and back. When I start practice this weekend then things will get better really quickly as I practice 4 times a week.

 

[MrKleen73]

Looking good DW your back thickness & definition is always impressive once you start leaning!

 

[DreamWeaver]

Thanks Chris like I was saying caught me by surprise as it's such a big difference from previous pics...

Bone crunching leg day fast and furious, lots of volume

 

[DreamWeaver]

Man I am getting pretty big and weight is holding but I am definitely leaning. Unbelievable Chest and Tri day yesterday. I usually get a little burned out with all the volume I do on chest that when It comes to doing close grip bench I don't have a lot left but the last few weeks on this has been a different animal.

Hey Doug the Spicy Baked Sweet Potato fries are they some you cut and make yourself or something you buy frozen?

 

[kenpoengineer]

SMHS, Doug you continue to impress and inspire here! Pics look great and definition is apparent brother. Keep up the great work.

Make them myself just cut them up small and spice them then throw them in the oven at 450 and they taste pretty damn good.

 

[DreamWeaver]

SMHS, Doug you continue to impress and inspire here! Pics look great and definition is apparent brother. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, things have been going very well and I am having a great time Like I always say if you're not having fun then why do it. I do this for fun.

I don't look at myself as a high competitive bodybuilder. I just want to look good and have a good time doing it. If people get inspired then that is great. To be truthful I think I will be heading into a buzz saw with this show. My friend who is 59 is very good and world class.

Oh by the way he is coming next weekend and I will get some preview pics with the both of us. This is going to be interesting cuz he's and excellent guage on which to measure myself.

 

[DreamWeaver]

Workouts continue to be stellar, higher volume but very intense. I have never been so focused. I weighed in at 197, which is down another lb. I am very satisfied with the visible changes.

 

[DreamWeaver]

First practice 8 weeks out, I see some mistakes but a good first go overall...

Thanks Edge, it really is wild how fast things have been moving the last 10 days. It's been pretty easy actually and I keep getting freakier by the day. No adjustments. I am eating the sweet potato's without the skin now. Down another lb but it look like so much more. 6 lbs in 4.5 weeks looks more like 10 or 12.

 

[DreamWeaver]

This mornings practice cleaning up pretty quick now.

 

[kenpoengineer]

Looking gooooood DW! Dry and defined! Nice job.

 

[MrKleen73]

Looking good Doug! Keep killing it, changes are becoming abundantly clear.

Definitely a big difference in posture........good work....it ain't easy to change that, but you are making great progress.

When you reminded me I knew just what to do....

 

[DreamWeaver]

Most to these show some sort of improvement in only 2 more days

 

[MrKleen73]

Nice Doug, on that Side biceps shot you want to raise your rib cage up with an arch in the back without leaning back. Think lift the chest and puff it out not lean back. Also you need to supinate the front arm to show the peak on your biceps, IE palm up.

You mean the side triceps ? Chest up from the front ? and palm up on the back arm ?

 

[MrKleen73]

No side chest and biceps, your front arm see how your biceps look flat, twist your wrist so that the front arm is palm up instead of palm in and watch how the peak pops up. Other than that see how you have your chest high but it looks like you are leaning back just bring the chest more forward and take the lean at the waist out of it. Kind of like a strict form lat pull down where you only arch the upper back and not the lower back.

 

[MrKleen73]

See how Arnold has his hands, and his chest poked out but is not leaning backward. To do that you raise the ribcage by bringing it forward and up not arching all the way back.

 

[DreamWeaver]

ok got it.

 

[DreamWeaver]

This shot deserves it's own post I think

 

[DreamWeaver]

Some other pics might still be holding a tad of water from hair removal ...

Looking great DW!!! Another win in the future here, me thinks!

Thanks but it's going to be pretty tough to pull it out this time. The guy I am up against is world class.

 

[MrKleen73]

Looking lean Doug!

 

[DreamWeaver]

Looking lean Doug!

Thanks Chris doing some more shots today which will make me decide my next move. I can't let progress slow down at all if I want to come in early.

 

[DreamWeaver]

Again I believe this shot warrants special attention....
