Not bad mate… not bad at all. 65 doallars delivered to my door is about 50 quid i suppose. Might be worth treating myself to a pair or two in 10 weeks WHEN i have the problem of finding pants to fit my MASSIVE legs. lol

Current jean styles are fucked up, TKMax for the win. “last season” for dirt cheap, GREAT.

No idea if you have an interest in noops, but a couple of mates of mine and people from this board are put this together. Take a look. www.enhanced-minds.com

Basically a T-Nation for noops, articles and forums with logs of users.

Agreed!

Also, what you’re referring to is called vanity sizing. People don’t wanna know they’re a couple of inches fatter than their jeans size suggests. I had a 37 waist and was wearing 34 inch jeans. Ridiculous.

While on the bike this morning, I got thinking.

Somewhere down the line i will prob stall or at least i think i prob will? i mean stall as in weight lose stops or visual changes stop…

What is the likily solution going to be? A massive refeed day? Change the diet? Change the workout?

On another positive note, I had veins popping out the lengt of my bicep on the top of it today. First time ive seen it. :smiley: This is going well so far. :smiley:

Just done a pile of math. Have a read and tell me if my judgement is flawed.

I am getting my loan in on the 20th april, so if i order supps then i will have them by may1st at the latest.
1st may - 31st August = 124 days

i think i average 3.5 shakes a day.
Most shakes being 2 scoop so 60g in total.

124x3.5=434 shakes
434x60g= 26kg of protein

So i am going to order 15kg whey, 10kg casein

434 shakes x5g BCAA = 2.17kg
10g a workout x 100 workouts = 1kg

So i am ordering 3kg of BCAA

124 days x 8 fishoil tabs = 992 fishoil
90 a bottle.

So i am ordering 11 bottles of fishoil

This is all coming to £310.

Does that sound like a reasonable amount for 4 months.

I plan on paying my rent for the entire summer, and my phone for the entire summer.

after other overheads like electric etc.

I will roughly have £17 a week left from my loan. Then i will be able to easily earn £30 on top of that.

So ~£50 a week to buy food and maybe the odd luxury. but i plan on taking the entire 4 months and dedicating it to my body.
I want to drop to ~12% BF for a bit and maybe see my abs, then i want to pack on serious muscle and strength while staying “visually lean” at under 18%. more than likely using a clean low carb type of bulk.

By my reckoning that is easily possible? on that budget. I prob spend about 25 a week now on my cut.

Critique my plan please.

You ever thought of using the liquid fish oil from MP? I use it, the 500ml is pretty good value for money. I take 50ml a day split into 5 times, which gives about 14g of EPA/DHA a day.

Also check out fish oil from simplysupplements.co.uk

All sorts of supps and vitamins, cheap prices and free delivery in the UK.

As for the other thing, £20 for 2 packs delivered.

Deads tomorrow. I want 215kgx3, my old 1RM for 3 reps would be a confidence booster for me. and a sign of progess i suppose.

Not too sure about the pics on sunday, not sure if ive made much progress this week. but i suppose the proof will be in the pudding.
