Montego Prep With EP and Z

[OTG85]

Back on diet today.

Load went well. Up 4lbs this morning which is about where I wanted to be. I'll be watching this closely since I plan to have these weekly loads from here on out.

Depending where I end up mid week, I'll adjust up or down going firsts forward.

No training today but I'll train lower and upper muscle rounds in the next two days for my cruise week. I'll have one more cruise week in 6-7 weeks then the final week will be most all rest besides training lower body early that week so inflammation can come down before the show.

Pulling clen out and subbing in ECA for the next two weeks also.

Good ole ECA FTW sounds like your dialing every in and fine tuning. In for the win bro!

 

[Montego]

Will go in and train Lower muscle rounds tonight.

Most of the water from my load is gone and tomorrow should be the sweet spot between fullness and dryness so to speak.

My son asked about going to the gym with me for the first time yesterday. He is 13 and has never shown interest so I was a little taken back. His twin sister on the other hand has been asking for months now to go with me I just haven't taken her.

My gym time is my time for myself and that's about the only time I get to myself Lol but, I think I'll go ahead and take them in to train with me this weekend. It should be interesting to say the least.

On anther super exciting note, my wife was looking in the same daughter's phone and saw she had sent out a picture of her in her bathing suit to a bunch of people on social media....... It's the typical bathroom selfie in a two piece. Not fucking happy about that at all. My wife freaked out and justifiably so. Come to find out, my son had a similar picture of a girl on his phone in her bra asks panties. Wtf is wrong with kids these days!

 

[OTG85]

Dam brother I could only imagine. I?d definitely make her take a timeout from the phone for a little while. These kids are unreal these days. Social Media is %100 to blame.

 

[Montego]

Holding water still but I got a pump lol.

This cruise week in my training was very well placed and has me feeling great.

Body weight hit a new low upon waking which is right on track with what I was expecting.

Off today and I'll train Friday during the day.

Saturday is my birthday and I have birthday lunch with all my family that I'm excited about. I've never had my entire family do dinner or even a party for my birthday so I'm excited.

Plan is to keep carbs minimal today, lower then usual post workout tomorrow then crush sushi for my birthday meal followed by a nap after lower muscle rounds.

The knee was hurting again after my last lower day. Dunno whats going on in there. It doesn't feel great though.

 

[OTG85]

Happy early Birthday bro... I hope the knee gets to feeling better.

[Montego]

Cruise week in the books.

Weight hit a low of 237 Saturday morning so that's down almost 2lbs from the previous week.

Saturday was birthday day. Sushi, rice and steak, little slice of cake at lunch then a burger and 2 pancakes from IHOP for dinner was the "load".

Weight this morning was at 241. Pretty much what I like seeing in that 4-6lb range. After this week getting back to training, progress will be continued.

Upper loading when I get off work. Time to get cranking!

 

[Montego]

Full after my load yday.

 

[OTG85]

^^^ Huge difference from just two weeks ago. Really impressed because you still look full but cut up at the same time. Are you using just ECA or thyroid drugs too ?

Kinda tired going in but did some good work.

Gonna be dropping the dbol so I can give my body a little break for 5-6 weeks and then I'll start the var and winny.

Was very happy with the Pivitol Dbol. I've kept a lot of fullness, lean size and strength during this first part of prep. Would highly recommend the brand going forward.

 

[Montego]

Off training today.

30 minutes of cardio in the books. Looks like I'll hit a new low when I get up this afternoon after sleep. I think I'm about to hit that sticking point I usually get to in prep where I have to start grinding harder and adding in the fat burners. We'll see how the rest of the week goes and assess from there.

Nutrition update -

I increased my protein a while ago to see how that was going to go and it's been very good. I'm typically very flat even after my refeeds but the increase in protein seems to be helping there. What I've run into in the past is, when I do stay very low carb I have trouble filling out without just spilling over so this will help I believe.

Loading one day a week. Has been 2 meals within reason but going forward it'll be one meal that's either sushi or burger and fries depending on how fast I'm losing weight.

 

[OTG85]

Everything looks dialed in brother. I?d definitely go with sushi FTW! Keep grinding your killing it.

 

[Montego]

Long ass week behind me. Finally got a couple days off work

Pretty sure weight did a nose dive this week based on how my pants are fitting. I'll check in the morning but I'm expecting a pretty big drop.

Will train muscle rounds Saturday and Sunday to restructure my schedule and make the most of my load.

Load /cheat depends on my look.

If I'm right where I want to be, sushi.

If I'm ahead of overly flat, burger and fries.

If I'm slightly behind, anther week of grinding.

 

[Montego]

Weight this morning was 233.5

3.5lb drop this week which is way too much. I'm flat as can be so I'll load over the course of the entire day instead of a single high carb meal or cheat meal.

I train upper muscle rounds today and lower muscle rounds tomorrow so the food will go to good use.

Meals so far -

1-

40g Whey

120g cereal

Large bowl of fresh fruit (melons, pineapple, grapes, banana)

About 170g carbs

2-

400g egg whites

2 packets of oats

140g blueberries

About 75g carbs

Ty!

 

[Montego]

Off yesterday. Tonight/early morning will be upper loading.

Weight is almost back to my previous low which is surprising. I'll get a few carbs in tonight after my session which should stabilize me another day or so.

I'll be on a weekend getaway this weekend with the wife and not be able to train so I'm gonna squeeze all my training in this week.

Meals are still the same with no changes yet. Just riding out the progress.
