There's been a lot of questions on these boards about UD2. I thought I'd share my experience and results with others.
First, much thanks to Juggernaut who provided me a framework for the entire program along with a guiding hand throughout. You rock Juggernaut.
Prior to UD2, I was a frustrated, 41 year old bulker. At 6'2", I weighed 209 lbs and was probably between 17-18% bodyfat. I felt like I was gaining more fat than muscle and it was aggravating the hell out of me. I kept harping on the idea of a "slow bulk" on this board where you could lose fat, while gaining muscle...slowly. Obviously, difficult to do if not impossible -- the body doesn't like it when you try and do two things at once. I was ready to give up on the idea until someone brought up the subject of Lyle McDonald and "Body Recomposition." The promise: Lose fat while maintaining if not gaining a little muscle by leveraging his UD2 (Ultimate Diet 2.0) program.
I said screw it, let's do it.
After 8 weeks of rigorous depletion, tension, and power workouts married to specific diet / macro requirements, I'm done with my first cycle...and I couldn't be happier. The results:
* PRE UD2
- Weight: 209
- Jean W: 36"
- BF % Estimate: 17-18%
* POST UD2
- Weight: 193.5 (15.5 lb loss)
- Jean W: 33-34"
- BF % Estimate: 13-14%
- Strength: Increases in all my lifts (except flat bench)
- Muscle Mass: Stable. No loss.
* Pics left to right (1) Pre UD2, (2) Post UD2 Final, (3) 7 Weeks UD2 (I like this pic for some reason)
I can't say enough about this program. It's tough. Difficult to fit into your lifestyle. But I've never run into a program where if you follow directions you will be successful. The sh*t just flat out works.
I'm taking a much needed two week break since I jumped into 8 weeks of UD2 right after 8 weeks of 5x5. After this break I'm most likely going to do another 4 week cycle.
Goal: Get single digit BF% and see those damn abs!
And once I'm there...THEN I'm bulking.
Thanks again Jugg.
