THIS POST IS SOMETHING ELSE. THANKS FOR SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE. YOU TRANSMIT POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC WORDS.
A FEW QUESTIONS:
REGARDING YOUR CHEAT MEAL, YOU SAY YOU DRANK 32 OZ OF WATER BEFORE YOUR MEAL. CAN IT MINIMIZE THE WATER RETAIN EFFECT WHEN YOU WAKE UP?
DO YOU THINK WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE THIS MEAL IF WE ADD SOME CREATINE, TAURINE, LEUCINE?

Always great to hear from you my friend, those of you who are not yet familliar with michell he is from Spain and really knows his stuff!
I would not add in creatine or taurine but certainly 8grams of Leucine would provide a boost! The taurine I take at other times and the creatine (at least for me) only works to a VERY limited degree so I save it for if I have tried everything else. Again, thank you for your contribution and thank you for stopping by!
For the water I might have tped it in wrong, I drink thatmuch before bed and in the AM but with my cheat meal it is usually just a bit (I try to save all the room in my stomach for the food).

Thanks! You are my mentor I only have words of gratefulness-
I had been thinking about this stack: taurine, creatine and leucine for the intracellular environemnt: osmotic pressure, insulin modulation, and signal for start synthesis. Even take some glycine under the tongue before the meal for insulin purposes.
Maybe can be more effective if we spread the carbs throughout the day and dust some of these aminos in each meal like a salt shaker, instead of od it in a night meal. Just a thought.
Well, tomorow is bench day so I am going to hit the hay nice and early tonight:-)
I had about 1/2 a glass of organic Spanish red wine with my dinner tonight (last meal).
If you are going to drink Spanish Organics are a great choice. They are all high in antioxidants (the highest in the world because of their exposure to sunlight) and all of them (even the white wines) are a great source of resveretrol.
Once in a while I will have a glass to unwind at the end of the day, add the 2 pumps of magnesium and I am lights out!
Decided to have a scoop of whey stronger and 2 scoops immune supreme before bed in 32oz h2o
Another great night sleep and I am raring to go…I guess you could chalk it up to being excited for max effort bench day:-)
Well, up at 6:30 Drank my 3 scoops of immune supreme. I am actually going to take my Alpha GPC on an empty stomach today (I will report if there is a difference).
7:30 8oz Jamican Jerk Chicken (I appologize, I still have not got the recepie but I will:-) 1 Handful Pistachios
8:30 workout BCAA’s
10:00 8oz Buffalo 1/2 container organic spinach
12:00 8oz Raw Yellow Fin, Asparagus (1/2 bag) coconut oil, sea salt lime juice
2:30 8oz Beef Capacha with olive oil, lemon, sea salt and fresh garlic
5:00 8oz Buffalo 1/2 bag green beans in butter
8:00 8oz Turkey breast stuffed with spinach, pine nuts and feta

Thursdays are recovery day…I get extensive tissue work done to speed my recovery from weekly workouts. I find this has helped both i terms of recooperation and flexibility. I would definately recommend it to others as well.
Well, I have some good news and some bad news…Bad news first…Whole foods was OUT of their Jamican Jerk Chicken (looks like I will be going tomorow without and honestly I am not looking forward to it!!)
Good news…My BF% dropped 4.1% in the last week and I gained a pound!!! I am meticulious about eighting myself in the same clothes at the same time on the same day of each week and I have had my training partner do my biosig measures for me for the past month at the same time on the same day so all of that has been consistient.
I am even puzzled as to the change, I don’t feel like I did anything that was DRASTICALLY different, I did change my biosig protocol
as reported last weekend and I have been getting an extra shake in with my added evening workouts when I go and I hae been taking in MORE fats (from butter and coconut oil) and I upped my immune supreme servings.
I feel really good, I got caught up on some sleep this week and have been drinking A LOT more water (I have just been thirsty all the time). Well, I am definately NOT complaining!! We will see how this next week goes.
I will be traveling to Scottsdale Thursday through Sunday night and getting home Monday morning. I am going for the level 2 Biosignature Modulation seminar (I will be one of only 30 certified at the level 2 in the world so I am very excited to have this opportunity).
Best of all I will get to pick Charles’ brain. He really is the smartest most amazing person I have ever had the privellage to talk to and not just in terms of how vast his knowledge is but in terms of depth of knowledge. I have a list of questions already (and I am sure I will have more by Thursday:-).
I just got in some of Dr. Serrano’s Get Lean Protein to try. I am going to add it in before bed (30grams) and first thing in the morning (30grams) I will keep you guys posted on how that works out for me:-)
Finally, tomorow is a big day, we will be “taking a weight” on squats, this means we will build up to our 1rm I am going to shoot for between 500 and 550 (I will be using a suit for the first time and a lot of tomorow for me is just going to e getting used to the suit -I am still waiting on my briefs to come in from Inzer). Wish me luck:-)
Hey bro, a 4.1% drop in bf in the last week is awesome… congrats. Shows the value of the biosignature modulation. What was the site that decreased the most to give you that big drop?

Also, good luck with the squats tomorrow![/quote]
Thank you I am sold on biosignature!! My superilliac was the biggest drop, it dropped by 4mm and my umbillical & tricep both droped 1mm.
Does hydration ever skew body fat readings? Not trying to discount your results at all, I only ask to learn and I’ve been considering having mine measured in the mornings when I am likely the most dehydrated.
You are measuring your body fat using the 12-point caliper designed by CP, the one that CT once referenced?
No Jerk?? Damn!
EDIT: What sort of tissue work do you get one? I am starting to think I really need it…
Thank you all for your responses and encouragement! I am still on cloud 9 from the weeks readings:-) In terms of the questin about hydration, I believe the biggest place you would see a difference is in terms of bodyweight and estimated lean mass. For the measures we take each one 3x and average it out and the calipers Biosigs use are the best on the market Harpenden/ John Bull (the spring tension is sufficient that they really squeeze the water out). The other safe guard I take is to always keep all surrounding conditions the same (time, number of meals, day etc.) there is always going to be some margin of error but at the same time I feel this can eliminate 99.99% and most importantly the measures will be consistent.
As for the tissue work, I get massage done 2hrs/ week (deep tissue to break up the scar tissue), I am trying to also work my schedule around so that I can get in for ART 1x weekly. I have chronically tight hamstrings and traps and these both help tremendously.
6:20 Up and ready to squat:-) 21grams get lean protein
I NEVER decrease my protein consumption lower than 2.0 grams/ lbbw, I have found that for me in terms of adding/ maintaing lean mass this is really what works best. Sometimes (when I add an extra feeding) it may even go over but I have been happy with the results. One complaint I do get from a lot of my clients is that it is hard for them to ea that much so I will sometimes let them do a shake or 2 but for best results, EAT 2.0 (to 2.5) grams/ lbbw.
Todays workout…
Well my strength was great!! I got 540 (felt light but my suit and briefs I was borrowing were loose so I did not want to risk injury this close to meet). So I built up to the single 540x1
Did frog plyo presses 4 plates and 2 green bands 1 blue band 3x20
Reverse Hypers 8 total sets (4 took a break and 4 more) 45x10
Wood chopers on rope with 45lb plate 3x10 each side
Great workout and I can’t stress enough how strong I am feeling!! time to eat, I will have more for you guys later:-)
I only have words of gratefulness-
