Thread: IML's Deca-Drol Max & ULTRA MALE Rx Log! (SUPER DETAILED, WINNING RECIPES!)

WK36 - 181.4lbs.
Ok, moving in to things here we're at 181.4lbs.





SPICY PORK LOIN 3,5hrs PREP
Now, on to the food for the week! I am making a pork tenderlion, which is kinda high in fat until...



...you hack the shit out of it. After that, it's off to the crockpot overnight.





Toss it in with an onion, garlic cloves, water, and some seasoning. Now it's time to prepare your veggies!



Prepare the mushrooms with a bit of low sodium teriyaki. FYI: That's breakfast in the background. 1/2 cup lean steak, 8 egg whites, 2 cups spinach.



DRAIN EVERYTHING. Shred the pork and veggies, DO NOT MIX, YET.

In order to get our fats in for the day, we're going to need some natty PB. So take 1 cup natty PB, 2 tbsp low sodium soy, crushed red pepper, ginger, and garlic powder to taste. Add 1 cup water, then MIX BY HAND WITH THE PORK. WARNING: THIS SAUCE IS STUPIDLY ADDICTIVE



Now, mix everything together, pack, and you're good to go!



TRAIN STRONG, WE ESTABLISH LIFT BASELINES THIS WEEK.

Haha! Each container is:

1/2 cup Pork w/ Spicy Peanut Sauce
1-cup veggies as seen in first pic
- Sauteed Mushrooms
- Shredded cabbage
- Sliced red hot peppers
- Sliced green onion
Larger containers are used on CARB days, I cycle them in and out and will hold 1-1/2 cup of brown rice on the noted days

Great log, in for the ride!

Now that's a log! Excellent job of tracking your progress man. Glad to see its working well for you.

Thanks, fellas. Going to try and get the thread updated tonight, if not tonight, then tomorrow; gotta try and replace a droid LCD tonight

THIS IS! THE! MOTHER! OF ALL LOGS!!!

WK37 - 179.2lbs. (-1.2lbs.)
Sweet, down another 1.2lbs, which is what I would expect or so. Now, LET IT BE KNOWN NOW, after 7 weeks of 0 sugar or alcohol, I did some serious damage at a party this weekend, so next week's weigh-in may be a little skewed. FWIW, it was well worth it and I had a freaking blast. No worries, though, even if I lose a week we'll still be back where we need to be by WK38.

Should have had these updates sooner, but prepping the house for my son (due January!) has been taking quite a toll on my free time. Lifts for the week are still on paper, they's a comin'! Pics look different this week because the normal camera was not available. Boo.





STARTING MEASUREMENTS
Ok, let's get some measurables going on in here as well. Didn't do this last time, but with each thread I'm going to be refining my data capture to better see what works and what doesn't.
Arms (Flat/Flexed) - 14.5" / 16"
Chest - 40.5"
Quads - 22.25"
Hips - 36" (<-- which is really odd considering how 34" pants are falling off)

CASSEROLE or SOMETHING 4.25hrs PREP
($61 for WK37 food)
The total cost includes the food depicted above, plus 5lbs low-salt 1% cottage cheese, a few cases of diet Dew, and natty PB w/ flax

This is just somewhat of an amalgam this week, so we're using
32oz Generic Tomato Sauce
6lbs. Chicken breast
4lbs. Bell Peppers
2lbs. Hot peppers
2lbs. Red Onions
3lbs. Top Round




Easily enough, chop everything up (BUT LEAVE THE BELL PEPPERS AND TOP ROUND OUT!), toss it in a big ass pan, and cook for 2 hours on 400F. Season accordingly, I only added garlic salt. Once it cools, add the peppers - this will help add some variety to the texture. Cook the rice separately and grill the top round. Add the top round after it cools - the drippings do NOT mix well with rest of this.

Taa-daa! Ugly, but damn tasty, cheap, and hella nutritious.

Lo, much to my chagrin I have to update close to two week's worth of lifting in one hit...such is life. Alright, generally speaking, all lift sets follow the pattern as such:

Warm-up set @ 10 reps
60 - 70% working set @ 8 reps w/ drop set to failure
Working set @ 8 reps w/ drop set to failure

...so that's 3 sets unless specifically noted per exercise, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF:
-Delts (all)
-Squats

...these are done as 5 set ramp-ups with the super set occurring on the latter two sets

LIFTS THUS FAR
Generally speaking, even only a week in to the stuff, my libido is WAY up when compared to WK1 (control week) and prior 2. With the kid on the way, my stress level is through the roof, and I swear to you sex has been the LAST thing on my mind until this week, so...awesome! I'm feeling more and more confident pushing bigger numbers with each session, so I think WK4 will have some VERY good results. We'll see!

No sides to report thus far, although my appetite seems to be up. The only thing I fantasize more than p*ssy these days is a big bowl of brown rice, steak/fish and some well cooked hot peppers. Don't know if continuing the cut is wise, we'll take a look at the pics Sunday, because holy hell am I hungry.

Normally I will update this after every session, count on that moving forward, took awhile to update the templates.

I'll update legs tonight, 5am session FTL

Is there cliff notes for this thing? lol im getting another headache from all this detail haha

this is fucking EPIC!

CLIFFS: WK1, lifts and reps are UP! Not quite as much as the Z-crew, but still up!

WK38 189.6lbs (+9.8lbs.)
When I first started this whole carb cycling journey, I believe I read not in one, not two, but THREE places all stating, "DON'T CHEAT, NOT ONCE, IT'S A DOWNWARD SPIRAL". Holy hell, was the past 10 days or so ever a testament to this. So last weekend was my friend's VIP bottle service 30th, followed by a gorge fest on Sunday, and a shit ton of natty PB and sunbutter this week. Couple that with a shit-ton of diet soda (far more than normal), and I've got a TON of water weight, and my mouth tastes like a salt lick.

That aside, still hitting all my daily macros and training like a psychopath on lifting days. No negative sides thus far, although LIBIDO IS WAY THE F*CK UP (SRSLY), so we're still running on all gears for WK2, just gotta get back on track with the DISCIPLINED carb cycling I've been running for the past 6 weeks!

Ill try and update the recipe for this week, spicy flounder and steak, probably my FAVORITE recipe I run in this mix. I have the pics but I'm heading to bed early so I can smash chest tomorrow.

this log is like pron bro everything is top notch! please tell me this wont be ur only log?

Still one of the best logs going!!!

WEEK 40 RECIPE
Surf-n-Turf Veggie Overload

Ok, if there was any ONE recipe I'd call my MAGNUM, this is it - low cal, super tasty, mega filling. Here's the goods:

2lbs. lean top round
6lbs. Tilapia
3lbs. Cabbage
2.5lbs Baby Asparagus
4lbs. Hot Peppers
2lbs. Brown Rice
1 packet Italian Dressing



Start by making the Italian dressing and marinate your fish overnight. You also want to season the hell out of the steak and let this sit overnight as well.





Grill the steak. Cook the fish at 425F for about 8 minutes in an oven, USE A RACK - this will minimzie any fat carrover from the dressing. While you're grilling and baking, toss the asparagus in to the leftover dressing, allow to soak up some of the flavor.

Grill the asparagus at 425F as well once everything is done. Keep the cabbage and red peppers RAW. Chop and mix.

Now here's the beauty of this meal: Every week I use the same containers, yeah? Well this week, IT'S STUFF TO THE BRIM. That should keep you nice and fueled throughout the week! Updates in a few days, stay hungry!

i have beeen looking forward to pay day all week just to try ur recipes then bam pulled over 3 times in 5 days and now i got a stack of tickets to pay =(

NO, WORRIES!!! WHY???

Dude, my recipes will cost you NO MORE than $50 per week for 4 MEALS PER DAY!

I'll do the full cost breakdown of, let's say,any given week

6lbs Cottage Cheese = $12
1lb Natty PB = $3
8lbs Chicken Breast = $16
2lbs. BRice = $2
6lbs. Veggies (BROTIP: Farmer's Market or equivalent!) $15
=============================================
$48 TOTAL FOR 4 MEALS ALL WEEK!!!!

Now, you might need to throw in an extra $5 for spices, sauces, or the like, but dude, that's BARELY $8 PER DAY...for FOUR of 6 MEALS!!!

I dare any else to try and beat that. Sorry to hear about the tickets, brother, but seriously - DIY is the poorman's method!!!

Thanks, man! I gotta dip in to the Z-Test this weekend, but running gear is only a matter of time....TBH, I'll probably run DMZ towards the end of this year, then it's time to take the plunge, no pun intended, in 2012!
