I can’t wait until you get the skin off. A good buddy of mine has the same issue and I would love to be able to show you to him as an example of what can be achieved.

Well, man, I hope to be able to be that guy some day. I’m just grinding away until then… or until more money happens upon me, lol.

Lol, hopefully man. I really want to make this happen, and will at least have a consultation, but there’s like a 50/50 chance I may be packing up and shipping to Florida in November, so IDK how that whole thing is going to pan out. Blaaahhh.
Today was great. Got out of work at 10. Paid time off. Fasted all day, as last night I had a thing of Skippy Natty PB, cheese sticks (plenty,) Greek Yogurt and a huge bowl of brown rice. Didn’t affect me too much. Anyway, just got 12 oz of meat in me after some of my carby-Peri-workout shakes, might have to eat some less than stellar food tonight. Nothing BAD like pizza, ice cream, or Skiploading foods, but maybe more PB. Maybe a little candy, who knows. Maybe not. I definitely “feel” much more… er, ‘anabolic’ since starting DC. Hard to describe, and maybe it’s placebo. I’m fucking LOVING it right now. My training partner have had some great discussions about intensity and what it means to really push it, 150% on each set, so he’s headed in the right direction.
[u]Biceps / Forearms / Calves / Quads / Hammies[/u]
HS Preacher Curls
1+27.5 x 14 + 6 + 4 = 24 (+2.5lbs, +0 reps. Nice.)
Rope Curls
280 x 16 (+2 reps, +0 lbs. Nice.)
DC Standing Calf Raises
2+42.5 x 12
HS Leg Press (Close, low stance)
8+2.5pps x 9 (Better.)
6+5 x 26 (Fucking waaaay too light. Probably 6+25 or more NT.)
SLDL
235 x 18 (+10 lbs, +0 reps. Nice.)
No cardio.
This was a good day today. Getting fuuuucked tomorrow, mebelieves.
So, last night I got another jar of Skippy Natty PB, substantial box of M&M cookies, and a big bag of orange slices. Ate them all within one sitting (iknowrite) and did sprints about 1-1.5 hours after eating. GOOD sprints, too. Did not weigh any more than I did yesterday. Score.
Have a new plan on attack moving forward for this week. I got down in weight from my epic binge, but only a little more than halfway. This will be a somewhat “extreme” week to get back down, then I can ultimately stop dicking around with this yo-yo shit. I’ll be fasting on my non-workout days, pretty much all day until after work, where I’ll go home and eat a ~1,000 or so calorie meal. On my training days I’ll keep it a little higher, say, 2,500-3,000 or so. That should allow me to properly get to around where I want to be, I believe.
So, yeah, I’m fasting all day today before drinking… lol. Will also be bad because I haven’t drank alcohol in… some time.
Have a good and safe (and sloppy!) Saint Patrick’s Day, everyone.
FML.
Didn’t go out last night. Loooooong story.
Ended up puking anyway, lol. Had some drinks (been far too long,) and a bunch of pizza and cheese sticks. Probably saved me a good amount of calories though, lolz.
So, today I was looking through pictures from when I was legit lean. It’s fucking depressing. I NEED to get back there again before I continue, especially comparing pictures of today with then. Seriously.
Tanning again this week, which means I’ll be MTII’ing again… I kinda stopped. Also, making my order for Jetformin this week. So, I need to fucking get to where I was and I’ll be great moving forward, seriously. I liked the way I looked.
So, fuck, I’m going to make this happen.
lol you’re doing the Blackaggar diet at this point, minus the ridiculous lifts
gain some weight, look/feel too fat, lose weight

So what you’re saying, basically, is that I suck and have no discipline. GODDDD. Lol. 'tis true, though.
But seriously, if I put the “before/after” up right now it would be fucking sickening what I did in a month and a half… and not sickening in a good way. I’m going to make a quick, hard push back down, as I’ve said a billion times. At this point I really don’t want DC to be affected, but I need to accept that it might. I’ll still keep working to beat numbers.
That being said, with only ~8oz ground turkey and 3oz almonds in me from earlier in the day, fasted on some HumaPro, the training went a little something like this:
[u]Chest / Shoulders / Triceps / Back Width / Back Thickness[/u]
Incline Jones Presses
165 x 10 + 5 + 3 = 18 (+2 reps)
Stretches with 50s
High Incline Jones Presses
140 x (12+1) + 4 + (3+1) = 19 (Good.)
Overhead Tricep Extension Machine
250 x 12 + (6+1) + 4 = 22 (Keep on movin’ up.)
Stretches with 35s
V-Grip Pulldowns
145 x 10 + 6 + 3 = 19 (+5lbs, -1 rep)
DB Meadows Rows
115 x 12 (Obvi too ez)
100 x 16 (OBVI too ez)
Stretches with 25 lbs
Today was good. Not going to overdo it with cardio as I lean back out. So… none today, at all. Lol. Only like 1,400 calories, though. Fuck.
Oh my God. Soooooo hungry.
/killinmyself
Let’s see here…
New Cannibal Corpse cd uploaded onto the iPod? Check.
Actually have some fucking food inside of me for the workout? Check.
Foam rolled and all stretched out? Check.
Leg day.
[u]Biceps / Forearms / Calves / Quads / Hammies[/u]
HS Preacher Curls
1+30ps x 12 + 6 + (4+1) = 20 (+2.5 lbs, -4 reps)
Rope Curls
280 x 18 (+0 lbs, +2 reps)
DC Standing Calf Raises
3pps x 12 (EZ, +2.5 lbs)
HS Leg Press
8+5pps x 9 (+5 lbs, +0 reps)
6+25pps x 24 (+40 lbs, -2 reps. Still too light…)
SLDL
240 x 19
Then, stair climbing such as:
4 minute warm-up
11 minutes HIIT with 30 on/30 off
15 minutes SS
5 minutes cool-down
Weight is peeling off and I’m feeling good again. This is going well, as I’m still gaining strength. It’s tricky, but I think I can get through the weekend and be smooth.
Today went very well.
Last night I had a very substantial amount of M&M cookies and orange slices, but I wanted/needed it, had been fasting all day, and didn’t really budge the scale. It was good.
So, yeah, fasted all day 'n stuff as usual. “FMC” actually happened at 11:30 on my lunch break, because of the super late carb-up, haha.
Side note, and a bummer, but I had one of my infamous SSC “tweaks” on my first RP-set of the low-inclines. It’s been much worse in the past and I was able to grit through it today, but it’s evident I need to tennis ball the living fuck out of my neck area this weekend. Nonetheless, beating every single one of my numbers every workout. Yaaaaay.
Tomorrow is a BIG hike, with maybe a big breakfast at this bomb breakfast restaurant called Snooze (we’ll see, probably not,) and Sunday is Zoo day!
[u]Chest / Shoulders / Triceps / Back Width / Back Thickness[/u]
Incline Jones Presses
170 x 9 + 4 + 4 = 17 (+5 lbs, -1 rep)
55 lb DB stretches = MURDER. Indescribable.
Jones High Incline Presses
145 x 10 + 5 + (2+1) = 17 (+5 lbs, -2 reps)
Tricep Overhead Extension Machine
255 x 13 + 6 + 4 = 23 (Damn, still not enough weight. +5 lbs, +1 rep)
30 lb stretches - FINALLY got these. Money.
V-Grip Pulldowns
150 x (10 + 1) + (4 + 1) + 4 = 18 (+5 lbs, -1 rep)
DB Meadows Rows
120 x 12 (FUUCK. Not enough, dammit. 130 NW I guess. +5 lbs, +0 reps)
120 x 12 (Kept it, because why not. +15 lbs, -4 reps)
25 lb stretches = Definitely got these down now, too. Extremely brutal.
Then, HIIT stair climbing as such:
3 minutes warm-up
20 minutes 30 seconds on (Level 12) / 45 seconds off (Level 9)
7 minutes cool-down
Then, just finished 8 oz ground turkey, some greek yogurt (NOT measured, boo-ya DIET!) and 86 g brown rice.
Lastly, Jetformin should be arriving in 2-3 weeks hopefully. It’s gonna git nasty.
Feelsgreatman.blahpeg
neck tweaks ftl. they affect damn near erthang.
dat der jetformin won’t leave you feeling like a meth addict yayy
Good progress on your lifts.
How come you aren’t rotating exercises?

No doubt man, it was such a big bummer. It’s actually feeling pretty damn good today, despite not having a tennis ball to use or much other than my own “massages” to it, haha. So, nbd hopefully.
Mmm, yes! I’m pumped. I keep hearing that sans the “true” super supplements, Jetformin is the best thing physique-wise from some of my correspondents… we’ll see soon enough.

Thanks man. I’m running DC, which calls for not rotating exercises until absolutely necessary/failure to beat numbers on chosen exercises occur. So, come rain or shine I’ll be sticking with every exercise hopefully as long as I can! But I really can’t wait until my pressing numbers start creeping back up. Godddd I’m weak these days.
Guess I’ll update as long as I’m here. Huge, epic and super balling hike yesterday. I had found this trail that is like 1-2 hours of straight incline stair climbing, except it’s natural rock stair climbing, haha. My roommate/training partner who’s about a buck fifty even was having a difficult time. Made me feel good. What also makes me feel good is that I probably NEVER see people as “big” as me (muscular or weight wise) hiking on the weekends, so I think I’m doing well for myself in that department. Fucking can’t wait to peak bag some goddamn 14ers soon.
That being said, I hadn’t eaten much yesterday after all the hiking and smashed some food last night, but kept it much lower compared to others. Still a couple pounds up but nothing that a day of fast won’t help at the zoo today.
Today or tomorrow I officially head to Whole Foods and/or other places in order to state Mountain Dog Dieting again. I fucking love it, and feel no real desire to cheat when doing it so hell, I might as well go back to the good (see: expensive) stuff now that I have some financial base again.

Are you sure?
From what I’ve read it seems like you’re supposed to choose 3 exercises pr body part so you have an A, B and C workout for chest etc and an A, B and C workout for legs etc.
Then when one of your three exercises stall you replace that exercise.

Haha, yep, you pretty much answered your question right here my dude. I haven’t stalled on any lifts yet, so no need to change anything yet (or hopefully at all!) 
I do have rotational exercises all picked out for when that does inevitably occur, but until then. . .
As long as I’m here, today was awesome.
Zoo.
Buffalo burger at Whole Foods + Mountain Dog foods.
…and then fucking Pink Berry. Winning.
Oooohhhh leg day, you sweet, miserable cunt.
Had to tough it solo today, roommate / training partner had some big boy shit going on.
It went fantastically.
(BTW, I told the BOIs this, too, but 2 scoops Chain’d Reaction + 2 scoops Apple Cider HumaPro + 1-2 scoops Melon/Berry HemoRage = Fucking Nirvana after a good fast. Ooh yeah, so fucking sweet and delicious.)
Also, also, I’m getting a pretty fucking wicked rebound effect right now, seriously. I managed to earn my abs back a little bit (not quite as “good” as them in my profile picture, but manageable nonetheless,) but I’m hovering around 215-220, rather than low 200s. I believe I’m going to operate much better around this weight before I do that wicked cut before the Tough Mudder in June. Looking fuller / bigger and SMASHING numbers every session. Plus, keeping a very fair amount of cardio with good, clean MDD eating and Jetformin will be money, methinks.
[u]Biceps / Forearms / Calves / Quads / Hammies / Abs[/u]
Hammer Strength Preacher Curls
1+30ps x 15 + 7 + 4 = 26 (+6 fucking reps, +0 lbs)
Rope Curls
300 x 15 (+20 lbs, -5 reps)
Bicep Stretch in Jones Machine
DC Standing Calf Raises
3+2.5pps x 12 (+5 lbs, Easyish still)
Hammer Strength Leg Press (Feet low and pretty close.)
8+7.5pps x 10 (+5 lbs, +1 rep)
6+35pps x 24 (+20 lbs, +0 reps. Getting much closer to the real WM weight I think.)
Quad Stretch
SLDL
245 x 20 (+1 rep, +5 lbs)
Hammie Stretch
Stairclimbing HIIT cardio
3 minutes warm-up
10 minutes 30 on (Level 11) / 60 off (Level 5-6)
2 minutes of hell (11/10/9/8 30 seconds each)
5 minutes cool-down
Home, lots of MDD foods. Life is good.

That’s the way most of the logs I’ve seen look like. I think the idea is, that you won’t stall as fast this way.

Holy shit. I really have no idea how this alluded me for so long. I mean, I guess it doesn’t really, technically, make as much sense to me in that regard, but I’m not one to bastardize a program. Hmm. Guess I’ll be doing it right starting tonight then. Thanks for the heads-up, man!
You’re welcome.
I’m looking forward to one day trying DC training myself since I like the principles behind it, but first I need some strength though.

Meh. I think figuring your body out is more important, personally. I’m no brute with strength, but IDK man. Do it when YOU feel ready, I’d say! I now feel like I have a good feel for what really works for me nutrition and training-wise, so that’s why I decided to make the jump. We’ll see how it plays out, it’s been fantastic so far.
For the record, I still don’t understand what exactly the incentive is to, like, not fail now on an exercise. Before it was like “You fuck up, you HAVE to do a new exercise.” I guess I don’t get what happens now if I miss a set or something. It seems like there’s not as much “fire under the ass” doing it this way. Whatever, I’ll just do it to it.
[u]2A - Chest / Shoulders / Triceps / Back Width / Back Thickness[/u]
Decline Barbell Press
205 x 13 + 5 + (4+1) = 19 (Nice. These were hard, haha.)
50 lb stretches, money
Military Press Machine
200 x 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 (Not happy with this. Lighter than I expected, and not enough reps. Oh well, more next time.)
Stretch
Dip Machine
3+35pps x 7 + 4 + 3 = 14 (Perfect, 15 is my max on these. Felt great.)
30 lb stretches. Think this pinches a nerve in my left side or something, lots of hand pain.
Dual-Handle Pulldowns
135 x 13 + 7 + 5 = 25 (Perfect, 15-25 was range.)
V-Grip Rows
210 x 7
200 x 13
25 stretches. So fucking hard, these rape me.
Then, I did 30 minutes of cardio as such:
Stairclimbing
3 minutes warm-up
20 minutes HIIT, 30 seconds on at Level 12, 60 seconds off on Level 9
7 minutes cool-down, Levels 7-6-5-4-3-2-1
And, of course, lots of MDD foods.
I did also do “FMC” today as well, so burr…
For the record, my diet isn’t substantially different at this point. I’m finding a good balance of re-feeds (er, cheats) and eating consistently with good cardio and having no real negative repercussions. As long as I’m getting stronger and NOT really gaining weight, I’m smooth. I’m sure I will actually get leaner when Jetformin comes.
Training days are something like so:
Wake up at 5:15
Fasted “Morning” Cardio from about 11:35 am - 12:20 pm
12:30 pm - ~3 oz almonds and 8-12 oz beef/turkey/steak bites
5:30-6:00 pm - 2 scoops Chain’d Reaction (carbzzz) + 2 scoops HumaPro + 1.5-2 scoops HemoRage
DURING workout - (on leg days) 1 scoop Chain’d Reaction + (Always) 2 scoops Chain’d Out
Post-Workout (7-8 pm) - 4 pieces of Ezekiel bread + Grassfed butter, 8-12 oz beef/turkey/steak bites, 1-2 servings of Greek Yogurt
So, yeah. Not too bad right now. Interestingly enough, I’m usually getting more calories to a certain extent on off-days so far, but I think I’ll get that under control. I just get bored sitting around the house so often on week nights and hell, there HAPPENS to be a shit load of awesome food sitting around. omnomnom
