Werhe r u? we wait with anticipation....

I'm here....Workouts are going good. Took a week off before I started this contest, just getting back into a routine.

As stated above, doing DC training with rest/pause...here's a sample of todays workout (chest, shoulders, tri's, back)

Flat Bench DB:
2 warmup sets then 100lb DB's for 14, 10, and 8 reps (all to momentary failure)

Neutral Grip pullups:
Bodyweight for 10, 8, 6

Upright DB rows for Rear Delts:
2 w/u sets then 60lb DB's for 12, 10, 7

Decline EZ bar nose crushers:
2 w/u sets, 110lbs for 12, 10, 8

Bent over DB rows:
100lbs for 12, 10, 8

Stretching afterwards.

Gaining strength everyday just need to dial in my diet a little more and up my cardio on my non weight training days.

You can do this my friend!! When you have a vision, you will get there and you must believe you will!! Keep killin' it...

Thank you for the kind words dointhemost, much appreciated! Sometimes all it takes is a little support to give you a push to achieve your goals

Todays workout:

Calf raise on leg press machine (dc style)
425lbs x15, then x12

Front squats (haven't done these in a while, great way to destroy the legs)
w/u 135x12 2x, 225x10, 225x12

BB drag curls
115 x 12, 8, 6

Leg press hamstrings (heels on the top of sled)
740 x 10, x12, x15

DB hammer curls
65 x 10, x10, x10

Stretching afterwards and a little basketball to cool down

Workout felt great, broke into a good sweat today.

Decided to really cut the calories and carbs this weekend for maximum fat loss:

Sat
2051 cal, 151g fat, 19g carb, 149g protein

Sun
1300 cal, 76g fat, 18g carb, 127g protein

Could really feel the low energy levels due to lack of carbs. Need to get my protein intake up a little as well.

Took some current measurements as well:
Stomach at belly button: 38"
Waist: 36"
Biceps: 17.5"
Chest: 46.5"
Quad/Thigh: 26.5"
Calf: 16.25"
Forearm: 14.5"

looking great and love that you are incorporating the bench to neck too as I am ....

questiona bout measurements: i alays measured waist at belly button. WHAt is the diffeence between your two measurements and dont say 1", I can subract too, lol I mean where are you measuring the waist vs stomach.

Hey thanks. Yeah I love the bench to neck, one of the best upper chest builders I have found.

As far as measurements, my waist measurement is at the smallest point, usually where most guys wear their pants, about 4-5" below the belly button.

Did you get your AndroMass yet? I received my bottle on Monday. Hopefully it lives up to the hype but I'm slighly pessimistic. I tried the AndroLean/AndroHard combo at full dose for 3+ weeks and noticed nothing strength or fat loss wise. The first 2 weeks weren't bad but by the 3rd week I would feel totally miserable 30 min after taking a dose for about an hour. Never puked but came close a few times. They assured me that the mass would not have this affect.

Good luck.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Tornado knocked out my internet service but it seems to be back up now. Missed a few workouts due to the tornado but I think my body needed the rest anyway. Was back in the gym yesterday, will post more later.

yes, I got the AndroMass a wek ago. been on 4 and ending my dmz 13 ethyl stack so I overlapped them a week.

will be on 6 andromass. i was pukey at first but i think I am getting used to how to take it now. i take it empty stomach with coffee then do my protein shake or breakfast 1 hour later.... in the med day I take it and always follow up a while later with something. i find empty stomach then food works best for me.

thanks for howt o measure.. I always measured at belly for waist , I never undstood how my pant size was always way off from my belly size but now I understand it is wehre i wear my pants, lol, duh, common sense for the mentally challenged like myself.

i get pukey with some of the fatburners too. I just keep drinking a glass of water if the feeling comes around witht he burners and it subsides....

Yeah the first few days of the AndroMass I took on an empty stomach and had the same pukey feeling I had with the AndroHard/AndroLean combo. I started taking it only with meals and the feeling seems to have subsided. Now I just hope I start to notice some positive effects from it soon. Started on May 17th so this is day 12 for me. Nothing really to report so far.

Hows it going? Just stopping by and checking in? Solid workouts!

Not as much progress as I'd hoped for but just gives me reason to kick it up a notch the last half of the contest.
