All you guys leaning out I highly recommen th approach I took. I kept all meals to fat/protein and ingested abut 60g carb 30g protein in a shake imediately pre and post workout and sipping BCAAs during training. Plus did fasted morning cardio for 30 min every morning except legs (5x a week). Kept lifting heavy, 6-10 most lifts and forcing progrss.

Also did the ephedrine and caffeine 2x a day thng. Maybe I’m a freak but I leaned out quite a lot while gaining strength and mass…might be worth a shot for some others to try.

Thats what my moderate days look like. Low days are just off days, and high days are 230-250g protein, 400g carbs, trace fats. Im doing 2 yohimbe caps first thing and then another with my second meal since the half life is around 3 hours…that way I’m rocking the full dosage for the entire first part of the day. I can’t do too much in the way of stims too late in the day or it majorly fucks with my sleep. No cardio as of yet, haven’t needed it.

This weekend is going to be a break from the diet since I am graduating on Saturday. I’m going to eat whatever the fuck I want Friday and Saturday, so I’m trying to do everything right leading up to that, ha.

Okay, what the fuck did I do wrong? Fucking A. Whatever its suspended in is not very palatable. Wintermint Listerine sorta cloaks the taste. So I jokingly just called it Listerine. So fucking what if my numbers aren’t up to par someone my size. It works for me flawlessly. I’m working on going heavier and going stronger but that isn’t my priority. Its not that I’m being a sissy. I am far from it.

Sure I like to be somewhat comical with my posts but at the core of them there’s substance. What evil remarks C_C do you think I can’t handle? That I’m running a dbol only cycle? is that it? Who the fuck exactly coined the term “The Trinity of Evil”? What exactly is on your mind? What exactly happened or did I fucking do people?

626

I will start off with the back story, my friend and I decided to give each other some motivation, and decided to race for our next plate up, he was going for 405, and i wanted 495, my brother also wanted to jump in. Loser would have to put a thong pic up on the internet, on one of our social networking site.

On his leg day my brother hit 315lb at 135lb(14yrs Old) with just a belt, meaning that unless i hit 495 i was putting a thong pic up.

I was not too confident, i had hit 455, and it felt heavy (2 weeks ago) but i really didn’t want to lose:

135x5
225x5
315x3
365x2
405x1
455x1
495x1 (HUGE PR, better then pre-injury)(210lb)

Leg Press
2 plates x12
4 plates x12
6 plates x12

Good Mornings
135x10
185x5
225x5 (taking it real easy after maxing)

Leg Curl/Leg Extenions Superset
3x12 each

Finally decided that doing 3 work sets per exercise just doesn’t feel good at all and I’m now down to a 3-way, same one used by most of Hernon’s trainees… But doing 1-2 top sets per exercise. So, say I want to get 10 reps on the CGP, if I get them, I’ll add more weight and do another, heavier set. If not, then I’ll keep the same weight for the second set…

Got 2 variants of each session:

Chest, Back(width, thickness)
-Low-Incline BB Presses / Flat DB Presses
-Wide-neutral grip Pulldowns / Rack Chins
-Yates Rows / Kroc Rows (wanna beat that bitch kroc)

Legs+Abs
-Sumo Deadlifts, very wide stance / Back Squats (if I feel like it, otherwise front-squats)
-Leg Extensions. Yes, really. / Glute-Ham raises (in the lying leg curl machine with someone sitting on the pad+stack and 2 DB’s so it doesn’t end up being a leg curl lol)
-Pulldown Abs / Roman Chair situps
(+ perhaps some calf work, not that I need it or feel like it by then)

Delts, Guns
-Alt. Curls / Standing DB Overhead Presses (yeah, well)
-CGP / Bent-Over Overhead Rope Extensions (ala Harris)
-Mix between Lateral and DB upright row / Pinwheel Curls with straps

No real low-back work in there atm…

Thinking of maybe doing 2 exercises for some muscle-groups with 1 set each rather than 1 exercise for 2 sets…

Hum not to bad i suppose… though at this stage would you not be better off putting some parts on maintenance and focusing on what you want / need.

I mean your weighing close to where you need to be, so prefer the in-evitable thoughts of cutting come up maybe try some specialisation ?

Or is your body perfectly proportional ? Your about the only guy i’d believe if he said yes :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m doing something similar. 2,400 cals, 300g protein 120g fat about 30g carbs/day. Saturday is my cheat day. Just switched over to Yates 3-way so i’ll see how my strength goes but so far I can’t say i’m losing strenght; and prior to the switch I was continuously hitting PRs while on DC.

My fasted morning cardio is only 4x/week at 45 minutes.

I’m doin shoulders/back tomorrow then off day/cardio on friday, then back to chest bi tri before my refeed.

Who knew dropping 2lb like this could make me stress out this much lol

629

Congrats on the huge PR matso.

Solid wheels Matso!

200 lbs even today.

What. the. fuck.

That’s down from 201 even yesterday and 201.6 two days ago (all morning, post-piss weight). Down over 5 lbs total now in a little over a WEEK.

I even had a high carb day at maintenance calories on Monday and still lost a lb over night, and then kept myself only 200 calories below maintenance and lost another lb. I haven’t been doing any actual cardio, just whatever moving around I have to do for my daily life.

I am getting leaner, but the rate at which the weight is coming off is slightly alarming. I’m going to just chalk it up to having my diet and supplements in order and my body being a blast furnace from the high carb days and yohimbe.[/quote]

i dont get it…are you upset youre losing weight too fast or too slow? b/c losing 1 pound per day is pretty quick dude.

It’s just the glycogen being depleted hommie, it will reach a slower rate at ~2 weeks or so.

633

GB I think Abby is just fuckin with you bro.

And yes, I literally believed you were drinkng Listerine for the past 2 weeks lol

634

195 today. Empty Stomach.

Leg Day you sons of bitches.

Front Squats
135 x 6/6
185 x 4
225 x 2
270 x 2 ( plus 10 lbs from last week)

Close stance Hack Squat
2pps x 10
3pps x 6
4pps x 14 (fucking had to shit talk myself after every rep after #8)

Leg extensions

Came very close to passing out after the leg extensions and before the calf raises.

Good news: Got an interview at a personal training studio that caters to people in the 6 figure and up range.

Better news: Big party tonight, those of you who are friends with me on facebook might have seen the video I posted of the girl fight, same group of people. Lots of attractive women.

So I just found out I’m going to be making bank. 117 hours over the next 9 days! lmao, overtime money here I come. They are supplying the food so I’m sure I’ll be forced to eat total shit and won’t be able to lift for a week, but at the end when I get 2 grand slapped into my hand it will all be worth it.

At least I’ll be moving furniture so I’ll be getting some form of exercise.

636

Damn Matso bigtime props for that 5 plate squat.

Damn, someone set off GB… he’s gonna go “ima fuck you up esse” style up on all of you. :slight_smile: Oye GB wey, en donde aprendiste hablar espanol? mi mama es del DF y tambien lo hablo.

B rock, 120’s on flat DB ain’t no joke. Gettin those bad boys into position is a bitch. Kudos.

MeinHerz and Stronghold… you’re both being babies. Glycogen and water, my friends.

JB, 200lbs solid morning weight by October 1st?

637

Bug, Hell yeah, and Im freaking lean right now too. My abz look hawt. Going to the water park at Kings Island with some pals on Monday or Tuesday
