Hey, what do you think about using a diuretic when coming off?

Posted by: Robboe

I'd think a lot more if you'd empty your PM box a bit.

Posted by: Twin Peak

done.

Posted by: Robboe

Righty, what would that purpose be?

And i guess it depends how moderate you were using - you don't want to leech water from muscle cells, especially as you're already losing water when you come off the ONE+.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Purpose. Vanity. I'll be on vacation in the sun in a few days and I already look like a beached whale. Losing some excess water, assuming it would not have any negative muscle growth retention effects, would be nice.

Dante's take was that it would be fine, so long as cals stayed high.

Hi TP!

I see you are doing very well!

Great results!

Pics you say? I will need to hang around here then

Does CKD diet mean....bacon, grease, lard, fat, :barfing: ????

Posted by: Robboe

You women are all the same.

All after raw meat.

Posted by: lina

Are you complaining?

Posted by: Robboe

Of course not.

Just pointing out the obvious.

Posted by: lina

Uhuh! Just doing my duty as a horn dog!

So how are you Robboe?

Stirring up the pot again?

Hi Lina.

It means high fat, mod protein, and no carbs M-F and pure sugar all weekend long!

Posted by: kuso

So you pulled 500lb?? I`d congratulate you if I wasn`t pissed

Very nice w8`s buddy.

I must say though, I see what your gym owner meant when saying you should be able to pull quite a bit more....your bench is increadible!

Um.....congrats

Posted by: Twin Peak

Thanks Kus. Yeah, I was pretty stoked. Barely got it though. I'm kinda sad to know that I won't be breaking these records anytime soon, what with dieting and all.

Made me think of what next fall's bulk will be like. I already have Sept through December planned out.

I am figuring by then I should break these records and at a lower BW (i.e. more muscle but less fat). Then I can spend Jan-Mar working on new goals. Maybe shoot for 600/500. But more likely those numbers are 2 years away, since my goals are more bodybuilding oriented than powerlifting.

Posted by: Robboe

Yeah, i'm more about aesthetics, but strength really kicks ass.

Lina, i'm keeping my head down. I don't have as much time on my hands or the willingness to apply the effort.

Posted by: Twin Peak

So Rob, no further thoughts on the use of a diuretic?

Posted by: Britney

A diuretic for vacation?

I highly doubt you look like a beached whale.
I would be interested in seeing you drop/cut your water+ diuretic (like prepping for a show)..

Posted by: Striking_Cobra

TP are you talkin like a product like Taraxatone or H20FX? or the real "stuff"?

Seriously, I think I am holding an EXTRA 5-8 pounds of water as a result of the high cals and more so the 4AD. So, on top of holding too much BF, the added water sucks (if I were leaner I wouldn't care).

If you look at my weekly progress my weight has jumped dramatically in the last two weeks; I postulate it must be water.

Posted by: Twin Peak

I was thinking taraxatone. I have never delved into anything illicit. With my career, the risk is too great.

Why taraxatone? I have heard mixed reviews and am thinking about using it precontest at some point, so it'd be good to know how my body responds.

Posted by: Britney

You are probably holding MORE water than that. Pre show I was LOW CARB and dropped 8 pounds the night before. Being you have been "carbing" I bet you have 12 pounds plus of water.
I would try the Taraxatone, as I have tried the "herbal" diuretics and got minimal results.....

Posted by: Robboe

Not really. If you wanna give it a go then go ahead.

But be careful.

Agreed. I said EXTRA water. Meaning I normally hold a soild 5-8 pounds. The last three days before both of my contests, I dropped an addition 8 pounds.

Rob, wouldn't overdo it, just want to drop a few. But not at the expense of losing gains/post-cycle recovery; which is why I asked for your thoughts.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Well folks, I am done here. See ya. Its been fun.

Posted by: w8lifter

TP....don't go? Yet at least?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yet? I can't even access my friggin PM box.

Posted by: lina

Are you drinking enuf water? As I recall your water intake is not usually high enuf...simply increasing your H2O intake can get rid of the extra bloat too.

I have used taraxatone but only for 2-3 days... anymore I'd get nervous. Good stuff

Posted by: dvlmn666

I know he mentioned he was going on vacation earlier. And I sent him some questions since he's helped me out with my workout program and he hasn't replied. So at the moment I think he's on vacation. But not sure.

Hopefully he'll come back though. He's helped me out alot!!!!

Posted by: DaMayor

He's still around...

Posted by: butterfly

No, he's not on vacation anymore and I doubt he'll be around here much

Posted by: Twin Peak

Originally posted by DaMayor

Not really. It has been made abundantly clear that I am not wanted. Denying me PM access was the feather, so to speak. I still have no PM access. Wonder why? So I can't talk about Prince to other members? So I can't convert people to some alleged other board that I am at?

Contrary to popular belief, IM has been my home for over a year. And I was once proud to call it that. I frequent, perhaps moreso these days, the Avant Labs board, but that is, always has been and always will be, a board of a different nature. I have, on occassion been to bb.com, but that is a lame board, with generally lame people, but on occassion has some useful info. I have not frequented any other boards, at all.

Too bad that now I will have to find another home. While it is true that I have been made unwelcome, at this point I no longer wish to contribute to this board. Which is perfectly fine by some, as I am not wanted. That's fine.

I do appreciate the kind sentiments from others, and I am sure that those whom I consider friends I will stay in touch with. You know how to reach me, and when I find a new home, I am sure you can find me there.

Best of luck to you all, and thanks again for the kind words.

Lina, I can't really go into it in a short paragraph. Besides, my side of the story would just get deleted. The truth of it is in several threads, though some has been deleted, and by now, perhaps all.

Perhaps I'll poke in once and a while to check on some friends in their journals, but I won't be checking in generally, and obviously PMing me is not possible.

Take care.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Will do

Posted by: lina

TP, I am very sorry to hear this! Is there no way to resolve this?

It was even tough getting in this journal since the button didn't work for me...but I found a way...

You will be missed and please keep in touch! I wish you lots of luck if you are going to compete in the future

Your advice, knowledge, friendship, care will be missed...

Posted by: Prince

If anyone is interested in the real story, just send me a PM and I would be happy to tell you.

Posted by: Yanick

TP's journal is open. Does that mean that everything is resolved? I sure hope so.

Its good to have you back TP, it would've sucked if you really left.

welcome back ya freak.

When you starting your cut?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Two weeks, Sunday after the Arnold Classic. Cut will not be detailed here.

Posted by: dvlmn666

you going to the arnold? I want to go sometime just to see it, but it'll be in a few years.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yup can't wait. Gonna be a blast. Plus, I am going on business, which makes it even better.

Posted by: dvlmn666

Woah, sweet. Nothing like making a trip like that and getting reimbursed <-- (sp?)

Hope ya have a great time.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yup, can't wait.

Posted by: Robboe

How much weight did you gain over the holiday?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Dude, I lost a few pounds, even though I ate and drank a ton. Some, water weight due to the dieuetic, some muscle, no doubt.

But strength was relatively good this am though I don't know for sure, since I stayed far from failure (but I benched 325 on the incline for 6, and flat benched 335 for 6 easy.)

Posted by: Rissole

Hey TP, Whats your goal at the moment (cut/bulk)?
I'm trainging with GP at the moment and want some eating ideas. Post some eats dude!!

Posted by: lina

Posted by: Jodi

Welcome back TP!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Thanks folks. PT, damn man, all that stuff is in hear.

Read it.

That's why I write it.

(Smiley police -- how was that?)

In sum, I just finished a very long bulk (went from 205-235) and am now deconditioning, so to speak. My cut starts in about 10 days. I have posted several types of bulks and one cut, in this and different journals. My new cut will be a six week CKD.

What exactly are you looking for?

Posted by: Rissole

I just wanted to see exactly what someone who knew what they were doin was eating with some minor variations (i dont think i can eat 8 eggs every morning for breakfast

)
I didnt want to waste time reading through but if it's in here then i'll read

GP's given me a general outline but thats about it, i think he wants me to learn

I was also thinking of goin on the 1t 4ad (K told me you were on it) How are you finding that?? I'll have to order OS though, it's $300 for a cycle here

Good to see you get 500 too

Posted by: Twin Peak

My food for my latest bulk is in the very begining of this thread.

I used daily detailed menus in my last journal (Gettin Large). Specifics of my last cut are in that journal (Ripped).

As to my latest 1T and 4AD cycle, that is the purpose actually of this whole journal. Results are a few pages back. You'll want to read the first few pages for training, diet, history, etc, and then the conclusion pages. You may want to peek through some of my more detailed posts. My actual journal entries (as opposed to the questions and respones) are obvious, with a day and date.

If you have any questions I haven't answered, ask away.

Posted by: Rissole

Thanks champ!!

Posted by: butterfly

Are you going to take pre-cut pics???

Posted by: Twin Peak

They's be the same as my post bulk pics.

There is a one smilie limit in my journal. So quit it.

Besides, I am NEVER sarcastic.

(Actually, if everyone just realized that like you have, the world would be a much better place).

Posted by: Britney

I didnt realize there were RULES to your journal.

I will try VERY hard to omit smiles from my posts here....

Posted by: Robboe

Right, so everyone is friends and again and the group has hugged.

Marvellous.

Are we gonna see some workouts soon?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yeah, worked out today in fact. Last week was twice (chest, back arms, and shoulders and legs), volume low (5-6 sets per BP), weights high, 2-3 reps from failure. Perhpaps were I taking L-carnatine, I could have been going full bore; too bad.

Today I started HST. This week was just supposed to be a trial run then start it up full next week with my CKD. But damn, it kicked my ass. I am rethinking whether I should do 1 or 2 sets per exercise (did 2 today and am hurting...)

Posted by: Robboe

Is that cause you're used to training with lower reps?

You're starting with 15 reppers, right?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Yeah, goal today was 15 reps, but often on the second set I didn't make it and also on some exercises was much lower (weaker than I expected).

So yes, I think that is because I have been training low reps for so long.

Weird, my quads are truly hurting, and less weight, less volume, etc, and only hit like 10 reps for each set on legs. Weird.

Posted by: lina

Hiya TP...

How goes it?

HST huh? Sounds interesting!

Oh yeah, why don't you put a permanent smiley in your siggie...or your quote..."please insert favorite smiley"

hey look at Britney's siggie!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Better?

Hehe... much!

You have mail!

yur slow, already returned.

Posted by: butterfly

Oh yeah... I already returned YOUR mail

Posted by: Twin Peak

back at ya

Posted by: Twin Peak

Quick update.

Second HST style w/o today. Really kicked my ass. These are TOUGH to get through. Don't know if it'll build muscle though.

My w/o and cut offically start on Sun. I'll be doing HST on m, w, sa, then I carb load.

This week I no carbed it m, t, and w until dinner, had carbs last night, will today, tomorrow and sat. My body should be primed to drop a bunch of fat, I hope.

I have everything worked out diet and training wise, except I am unsure what fat to protein ratio I should use M-F. Lyles said 1.5 to 1 in his old journal. Don't know if that is out dated, b/c that would mean very little protein. I asked Rob to ask Lyle his current thinking. If I don't hear bacl I am going 1:1.

Some post cycle recovery notes. I am significantly weaker, and muscles look smaller, less full. But I am maintain weight at 225-230, depending on whether I have eaten carbs.

I do think that the strength will come back quickly, as my w/o have been infequent and less than hardcore (intentionally). This happened last time, and within a month I was stronger than ever, using EDT. Now, I expect the gains back, but no new growth since I'll be dieting. But who knows if CKD and HST are all they are cracked up to be, maybe I'll gain a few pounds of LBM (not likely, but one can hope!)

That's it. See ya after the Arnold!

Reflections: Another nice week in the recomp business. Subjectively, I am looking bigger than I ever have before, and many people are telling me this, regularly.

MONDAY -- Benched 435 this morning at a BW of 220. 2 x BW has always been a personal goal. Next time.

Previous best for me was at the end of my bulk 13 - 14 weeks ago when I benched 420 at a BW of 235. More confirmation that this is a recomp, and not a "cut."

This mini bulk has been fun, and also quite interesting. Eating as much fiber cereal, fruits, veggies, and lean protein I want, has proved difficult for me to gain weight. Interesting.

So, cycle over, which is welcome actually. Covering oneself in gel 2x per day gets tiresome, plus it really raises bodytemp.

For post cycle recovery, I am adding in E, FL7, keeping kcals high and using the local gel on my arms and left calf. Each upper arm, and calf gets 2 squirts. Each squirt contains 17 mg 3a and 22 mg of 1T; which means each bi and each tri gets that twice daily, and the left calf gets double that twice daily. I have been unable to break the 18 inch barrier on my arm, and my left calf is significantly smaller than my right, so we shall see how this plays out.

Current measurements are:

Date.....BW....R. Arm...L. Arm....L. Calf....R. Calf
6/2……220....17 7/8…….18...........16 ¼…..16 ¾

Welcome back to your journal.

Your one over there is awesome though.

Was the 1T in the cycle you were using? because I didn't think FL7 has that in it, or have you added it?

Welcome back though, awesome gains around. What kinda cut are you planning after your cycle recovery?

Posted by: Twin Peak

1T was a different gel.

Well, I am neither cutting nor bulking, but I switch from week to week as to what my emphasis is on.

Posted by: dvlmn666

So your going by more of an instinct type of eating?

I'm thinking about getting some of the FL7. And gonna order the Liptigen II once I get some money saved up.

Mostly I am cycling my carbs, somedays for a few days or a week or more. It is planned out, but the plan changes regularly. I have no distinct goal to cut, or gain, just seeking both.

I'd like to be around 12% 10 weeks from the Olympia, then I will officially cut, to hit 5-6% or so.

I am a fan of FL7 and am stoked for my first shipment of LG II.

Reflections: this was a good week. I got needed rest, which actually made me stronger (see below). Dropped a few pounds, and got a tad leaner (13%ish). Indeed, this is really as lean as I need to/want to be, long term, except for "special occasions.". Looking forward to this mass phase now.

MONDAY -- well, it officially begins today: the Nor cycle, the mass feeding, vendetta etc. Interestingly, today I was significantly stronger than 2 weeks ago. This could be due to a variety of factors including: the Nor, the mass feeding weekend, vendetta, the layoff (though I'd expect to be weaker at first).

Don't know if I have explained my current training, but it is a pretty basic EDT. Today was chest and bis, and as I said, I was quite pleased with strength. Example, the first 20 minute session was incline barbell and straight bar curls. Working weight was 315 and 155 respectively. While two weeks ago I got 26 reps of each, in twenty minutes, this time I got 28 reps. And first sets were much stronger. My next session was flat benches and seated dumbbell curls. Two weeks ago I used 325 and 50s and got 20 and 30 reps respectively. Today, I used 325 and 55s and got 29 and 33 reps, a HUGE improvement. I was well pleased. In fact, I got a second wind halfway into this second session, and I think the only thing I can attribute that to is Vendetta. Of course, if it is Vendetta, I should notice this much more often.

Speaking of, Vendetta is an orange flavor. Its not nearly as palatable as ICE, which I enjoy. You kind of need to slam down V. Its like a bad tang. I assume that Xtreme will work on the flavoring as that is their specialty, but there just may be little you can do for it.

I tried posting a pic, but it won't let me, as its too large. So here is a link to my home board -- tehse were taken on Fri:

Well i started reading your journal from page one and then i realized its 19 bloody pages long. Like the entries however i get lost in the absc gtm training talk.

Posted by: Twin Peak

"the absc gtm"

Huh?

Posted by: J'Bo

huh is exactely what i said PST, HST, GST, HIIT, ABC, 123 training its all confusing

Posted by: Twin Peak

LMAO. Typically its explained.

Posted by: J'Bo

so where are the nudies you promised BF? i searched the entire journal and couldnt find them....nice picture of you in pumps though...pink is your color

Posted by: Eggs

Just looked at your pics... looking good bro.

bf% has dropped nicely, along with that increase in lbm. Good job.

Oh, and a tip on the pics... they look even better when taken in natural light

Of course, that might mean going outside and scaring the neighbors for a few minutes, but hey... a couple beers and they'll recoup from the shock. If not, give um your most muscular, heh.

Posted by: J'Bo

or show them the tattoo of your grandma on your butt cheek

Posted by: Twin Peak

Thanks eggs. Yeah, natural light aint gonna happen. If you mean they are dark thats the way the got posted, not taken.

Also lamp lighting, when done right, is better. I just missed it this time.

J'bo. Not sure what you are talking about at all, to be honest. If you'd like to see updat pics I posted a link above, which Eggs found.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Posted by: Freeman

Hey TP! I just noticed your journal. Sorry I'm so late!

Do you have any more recent photos? I saw the ones you posted in the beginning of this journal. Are there any more tracking your progress?

Posted by: Eggs

Oooh, J'Bo on a carb high. In other words TP, she's wasted!

4 hours of sleep? That dont make ya big Jenny

Do I need to come over to that thread of yours and talk some smack?

TP - Yeah, lamp lighting can be better... really depending on the type of lamps used, darkness of skin, and how much oil you apply

Posted by: J'Bo

Posted by: Twin Peak

Freeman, I posted a link to very recent pics on page 12.

J'bo, we (Rob and I) were kidding around. But obviously you were too drunk to notice that.

Posted by: Freeman

Ok thanks man. I'll go check them out now.

Posted by: Freeman

Just saw the pics. Good work man, lookin' great! Keep up the good work!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Thanks.

Posted by: DaMayor

So, how many Jurors can you bench press?

Good work, TP.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Depends on how fat or skinny they are. On average. Three.

Thanks bud.
