I know right! I should go into politics.
Well I haven’t stopped taking Epi-Plex yet so I don’t know about any drop off.

Ha. That's the greatest answer/testimonial right there when you like something enough to not stop taking it to know

Another good food day. A little high on the fats, but just worked out that way. It was mostly from nuts so natural foods, nothing processed or garbage. I feel fantastic lately, pumped about the results - but its all from hard work so I'm earning it. The logging on weekends for me is a gamechanger, I need to keep it up
Workout - 2/23/21
Weighted Pullups - BW+55lb X3, X3 (dropset the last set to bodyweight)

Leg Raises - Two sets of X6 free hang -> dropset to X12 on the arm pads
Tonight is a hockey night. Looking so much better in the mirror, I'm glad I took some "before" pics. I'll paste the changes at the end of the log. I'm probably around 40% done with my 2 bottles, so plenty of time for more changes too

Down another 2.6lb this week. February has been going like clockwork baby. Gotta stay strong again this weekend. 215 or below would be a huge milestone for me. 20lb away, but thats the end goal for summer this year.

Another really good food day last night, on hockey days I burn over 4000 calories total so they help a lot. It looks like the average hockey game is anywhere between 700-850 calories.
Today I'm back at it, hitting the gym for another chest/shoulder/tri/leg push day. Stuffed chicken and spinach for dinner, can't wait.

Food was good, I made chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella with spinach for dinner. Couple of glasses of dry chardonnay with the wife, so I got a little extra cardio in
Breakfast for dinner tonight, going to make some kodiak pancakes and eggs. Kodiak pancakes are a big hit with the wife and baby (and me). Delicious too.
Day off from the gym today, back in Saturday and Sunday.

Here comes the data dump from the weekend! Had a lot going on so didn't get to post. Food was....meeehhh haha. Could have been better or worse but I didn't log which I'm trying to be better at.

Did some hardcore intervals after these on the arch trainer. I'm trying out 30 seconds on, 30 off. So far I've only been able to do like 2-3 most days haha. I really go balls to the wall all out on them, then cut the resistance in half and catch breath. I do 2-3 with 30 on, 30 off then I do more with 30 on, 60 off. Its really killer and I'm sure good for hockey. I've done intervals a ton in the past but it was usually more like 60 on, 2 off. Sure I burn more calories with the longer workout, but fitness wise I definitely feel like I've had the bag beaten out of me with 10-12 minutes of the quicker interval system versus longer.

Weighed in today - 231.8lb
i expected to be around 231, but it’s still a loss so I will take it. The big difference between this week and last week was logging the weekend, so your boy is back at it this weekend. Funny thing was my “unofficial” weigh in yesterday morning was a little less but my food and activity were great yesterday. Who knows, keep with the process and maybe next week is a bigger one
down 8.2lb since starting on 2/1 so the past month was great. Pedal to the metal, I’m about to enter the 2nd half of my log (second bottle of each).

Been a hectic week but I have some updates to post, and a weigh in this Friday morning coming up!I guess you just need a 35lbs bar and then you can say you did 3 plates
Today is hockey day, tomorrow gym, Thursday hockey, Friday/Sat/Sun gym
Food has been good, I have some log screenshots from myfitnesspal to shoot up. Feeling really good! I'm on the second bottle of Epi, going to open the second bottle of LE this week also (I think I missed a few doses over the month, sometimes its hard to find a time when you have an empty stomach).
Could be nothing, but I started taking a dose of LE before hockey last week - I left really good. I've also been hitting the intervals extra hard so could be both.

So, workout wise last week or so was kind of a bummer. I jacked my shoulder up a little at hockey Thursday - Friday and Saturday it was really humming.
I went back in Sunday and got a good workout in, but Monday it was yelling at me again. It was just wrong place/wrong time, caught an awkward edge going into the corner and myself and the other guy ended up in a pile. It feels much better, hoping tonights game doesn't aggravate it.

Finished up with some hard intervals. Sunday my shoulder flared up, I did a couple warm-up sets of Hammer Strength Bench Machine to feel it out, wasn't great. I ended up hitting more intervals and just doing some random abs. Took yesterday off, feeling a bit better. I've been hitting with Apoethecanna's Extra Strength CBD oil, i love the stuff if anyone's looking for an awesome muscle rub. Just a flesh wound! I'll be back in there slinging weight tomorrow hopefully

Its definitely aggravated and not "injured", so I'm sure I'll be back. At least I didn't go nuts on the food and booze feeling sorry for myself haha.

That's good. Aggravation can be very annoying. It's not fully injured so you can still do some stuff but it's allways in the back of your mind because it's aggravated
Hopefully it will heal up soon.

Felt better than expected, hopefully this weekend eases back to normal! I have to screengrab my nutrition but here's yesterdays workout. I think I had a couple extra reps in the tank for the presses, stopped a little early each set as I could feel the shoulder yelling at me. Still good numbers and felt great for the triceps. Oddly enough the shoulder bugged me more on the chest stuff than the shoulder stuff.

I broke my collar bone when I was younger on include barbell. Perfect form, just popped.
To this day, I can feel it move in place just a little and it will pop out at times.

Weight in 3/12 - 230lb even
Down 10lb on the dot from 2/1
I need to get more serious with the logging and knock a nice 2-3lb week out next week. Air Fried dry-rubbed chicken wings tonight (no oils or marinades) with salad on the side. Shoulder feeling good, I'm heading back in today for pull day. I've changed up the training routine a bit.
Looking super solid. I contemplated adding a mid-way photo comparison, but I think I'd rather save it for the end and hope for a super noticeable before/after. Everything fitting great, have great energy, performance at hockey has been better. Its been a great log for me so far, and almost half left still!

so 10lb weightloss in roughly 5 weeks. Also consider I had been losing before, so I didn't get that "padded" first week of weight loss you get when you first start dieting
Overall happy with those results. Holding myself accountable, the last two weekends have been "meh" nutritionally. It was 70 degrees in the Boston area yesterday, good reminder that time to prepare for summer is running out! Pedal to the metal for these last ~4 weeks of the log.
I have Anabolic Effect sitting on my shelf already for after this, contemplating getting another bottle of Epi too. We will see!

Felt great. Finished with some light cardio (not intervals) for 15 minutes to get the blood moving in the legs - I have hockey tonight and tomorrow so trying not be insanely sore. Food was good, had an excellent ribeye for dinner with homemade caesar salad. Hockey nights are always a rush, so I do something quick. Tonight will be an open face double 90% lean hamburger pre-game!

Definitely noticing major improvements lately in vascularity. My biceps vein is really rocking, haven't seen that old lad in a while!
Closing in on the end, really enjoying this! Yesterday I felt great, i've felt great at hockey the last few weeks also. Some days you get that "on" feeling ALMOST reminiscent of a cycle. For someone who's natty like me, its a nice feeling!

Another solid day! Great performance at hockey last night, I've been taking my LE before the game, then following it up with a black coffee. Things are going so well, I don't want to change it haha.
We will see what happens with the weigh-in. I was up a little this morning which is SORT OF shocking. Weekend wasn't great but really wasn't any worse than the weeks leading up to it. Then again, my game was late (1020pm) so I ate and drank a decent amount right before going to bed. So maybe tomorrow I'm caught up? We will see! Either way I'm feeling great and looking solid. Abs are tighter, vascularity way better. Lifts going up. All is well! Looking forward to the pics at end
Heading in for a nice push workout tonight. I get my first shot of the vaccine tomorrow, so I'll be off - we will see how that goes! Hopefully back in Saturday morning if I'm feeling okay

Vaccine Feedback:
In case anyone cares, here's my experience getting the Pfizer
-Quick and organized process
-Shot itself didn't hurt, no immediate side effects.
-By night my shoulder was feeling real stiff/pumped
-By morning shoulder felt like someone cross checked me as hard as they could in the shoulder
-I felt a little "off" for 24-48 hours but not "sick"
-Was only the first one, second one in a few weeks!
-Definitely plan on having the next day off, even for the first one. I definitely could have worked but glad I didn't have to. I did cardio that night and next day but plan on having at least the next day off from the gym. Even today I'm not sure how shoulders will be

Great workout all-in-all! I'm back at it from my shot and ready to move some iron around! Crockpot pulled pork tonight, saving my daily carbs up for a couple rolls!
Last week I stayed the same. So 2 weeks ago I lost like half pound, last week the same. No bueno. My own fault, weekends have been a mess. Getting way stronger, muscles looking very full, and nice pump. I'll post a quick gym selfie momentarily

Thanks man! Arms have always come a bit easier for me. Definitely have added volume on this stack, and now that I'm more cut/vascular everything is popping more. I expect this to be a good weigh-in week. I'll post up my food log from yesterday shortly!
Hockey today/tomorrow, weight in Friday and back to gym.

I've got some back-logged workouts to add in, but things are going great! Down again this week, sitting pretty at 227lb.
I started this log at 240, and started this year over 250 - so I'm feeling great!!!! Definitely getting another bottle of Epi to run with my Anabolic Effect after this is done! Wife is happy lol
