Looking beastly, fresh new shirt too! Interested seeing what Bostin says.
I've heard that from a lot of people who have spoken to him.. I use to watch his youtube channel and he always seemed down to earth and told you straight up.Rich was a cool m'fer. Even though his content was a little iffy, I don't care what anyone says. He was a solid guy. Bumped into him once in LA's garment district by chance and was able to chat him up for a bit. Nobody was around so it's not like he had to keep appearances. Just very genuine.
I need mooaaarrrrr! lollooking peel3d .... fawk !
100%. I'm sad that he went when he did and how he did.I've heard that from a lot of people who have spoken to him.. I use to watch his youtube channel and he always seemed down to earth and told you straight up.
Thanks, Bane!Good luck Zoo,

Appreciate it, Gridles!Looking beastly, fresh new shirt too! Interested seeing what Bostin says.
Thanks, LE! I want to go as hard as I can all the way through the show. I feel it is the best approach to achieving the best look. Dropping the poundage too much and doing really high rep ranges I think is detrimental to maintaining size.Workout lookin good. Nice weight all exercises.
Any particular reason for mushrooms vs something less calorically dense/fibrous (like celery or something)?Update: 25 June 2019
Weight: 206.2 lbs (fasted)
Tightening up! Weight is starting to hit an all time low. I thought training today would have been more rough, but all-in-all it went quite well. Again, nothing record breaking - numbers did improve on some lifts from last week. Overall, I felt solid for what I was able to move and my body doesn't feel all that wrecked; the pain in my arm seems to have subsided for the time being.
Talked to Bostin today and I think we have things largely sorted for "peak week." I will be sending him full body pictures tomorrow to get more in-depth feedback. The amount of carbs during the reload phase in particular is something that will be determined based on this. Although it could change by the time depletion is finished.
Only meal modification for today is that I will be swapping the half-cup of egg whites for an extra (5th) egg. Calorically, it is a very small increase. Other than that I've just been using veggies (mostly mushrooms) to help with my ever increasing appetite.
Good potassium source. Mostly I just love mushrooms, but they may need to come down or cut out at a certain point. This will be determined as I continue to monitor weight/appearance.Any particular reason for mushrooms vs something less calorically dense/fibrous (like celery or something)?

Agreed with this. You're already looking super shredded. Can't imagine what show day will entail.Really excited for you coming down the stretch! Can't wait to see the final package
Hell yeah! Let's get this doneReally excited for you coming down the stretch! Can't wait to see the final package
We also count on you, Mumen Rider! Our Number 1 Class C Hero!Looking forward to some juicy arm pump noodz for tomorrow! We are counting on you!
This is perhaps what is most exciting. Seeing what the manipulations will entail at the end.Agreed with this. You're already looking super shredded. Can't imagine what show day will entail.
Just in time for the best part!Late But Here !
Appreciate that! It was my main focus to maintain as much size and muscle as possible during this prep while still bringing in my best condition. So far so good, but I suspect that my clothes will be getting a tad loose these next few days while depleting down haha.Crazy how much you’ve dieted down, but your shirt still looks snug in those pictures. Looking solid!
Awwww yeahhhhArms are looking lean!
The lighting is pretty terrible throughout my entire apartment. Most of the outlets don't work and many of the light fixtures are these bullshit energy saver things you have to replace the entire unit instead of swapping light bulbs so two of them are perma-dead. It's just the best spot overall so it's the only one I can use for selfies haha. The quarter turn pose helps a lot thoughDang that stinks! Trying to go to sleep when you're hungry is the worst!
That one stop where you take most of your pics must have really good lighting!
Thanks, boone! Trying to hold onto that fullness, but slowly deflating now in the third depletion day. Bro, I am so excited for this refeed it's not even funny. I have it all written out and ready to go. I'll be hitting the store tomorrow to grab the remaining supplies I need for that and show day. hahaThe difference in your chest detail over the last week is amazing! And you really don’t look very flat so I can only imagine how much you’ll blow up when the refeed gets moving!
I've heard that is a good plan from others as well. Plus Stan Efferding is a beast!Also for anyone looking for a good meal plan, the Vertical Diet by Stan Efferding is legit. I powerlift so I maintain a higher level of carbs on a daily basis but the results as I have gotten further and further into my consistency with life style change over the last year I have seen large changes and improvements to my body composition.
Appreciate you on all fronts in this post, bro! Im very thankful compliments and support for myself as well as the brands. Really cool to hear you’re having great success running the Vertical approach also!Been following along on Instagram as I have been away from the forums but now that I’m back I’ll be following along here and the other forum. Amazing progress zoo, looking nasty and lean.

Currently bigger, stronger, and leaner than I have ever been. Also if you need any food supps visit gainbusters and vicious labs. Only two places I will go anymore. Quality products and amazing prices.
At this point work is work haTalk about prep brain. I just realized that I was supposed to train back today and not shoulders. Since yesterday I hit chest I would break it up with back typically. That might explain why my workout was a little more difficult today as well. Eh, I guess no real harm lol
Thanks, brother! Happy to have you followingGreat log dude. Looking jacked!!
