And now, we present the meat. The pictures. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the God-aweful, scary, shocking, horrifying, furry-ass truth. For months, my pics have shown only my upper-most body - the part I am more proud of. But here, for the first time only, let me present my awesome Man-Gut! Yes, the belly of champions. It is the part I hide out of embarassment - out of shame. It's the hardest thing I have to work on, but is the most important part for me to get rid of. I hate cardio with a passion. I just can't do it. But I will. And I will continue to work on my awesome mid-section way after this contest is over. I've built a strong foundation. Now it is time to get rid of that spare tire. It's time to get some good sexy action going and stop being a fat-ass. It's time to make the rest of that AX shirt look as good as it should be!! I may not win this thing, or even come close. I know that. But when I say I have the most to lose, I mean it! This isn't just a way for me to score free stuff. This is my motivation to become a better person. This is a way for me to become healthier, live longer, and yes, even look better. This is my drive. This is my goal. This is my destiny. This is my life.
<span style="color:#CC0000">Despite much controversy as to what was to be allowed in this all-out hell-fest, I've had it in my head that my stack for this competition needed to be something that was a bit unique, tailored to my upcoming goals, simple enough to not bog down my day with trying to figure out which pills to take when, and most importantly - budget minded. I didn't have a ton of cash to spend on things, so I am playing it smart. Since this contest was first forming and I was interested, I began doing my research into what would be the most economical and would work best for my goals at this point in time. I'm going rather light on supplements - finishing up what I have, and going back to basics in some senses. There's no pro-hormones or anything that's borderline FDA banned here. It's just some common stuff that at some point all of us have or will have taken. Afterall, supplements are only supplements. It is the work that makes the progress. Beginning Supplement Stacking: *Applied Nutriceuticals - IGF-2 (12/day) **ALRI - Primed Ultra (2 pre-workout) ON 100% Whey (2 scoops in home-made shake 2 hours pre-, 1-2 scoops post) ***Bulk CEE (~2.5g pre-, ~2.5g post-) Continued Supplement Stacking: ALRI - Primed Ultra ON 100% Whey Bulk CEE Bulk Cyanotis Vaga Extract (aka ECDY 90%- 7mg/day - divided 2 doses w/ shakes) ****Chromium Picolinate (1/day) *IGF-2 will run out after first week of contest. Replacing with ECDY afterwards. **Testing for ALRI, logs found elsewhere. Workout days only. ***Mixed with 8-ball Gatorwhey or Gatorade powder to improve taste. ****To be used after IGF-2 to support fat loss goals. <div align="center">Keep it simple. Keep it safe.</div> Please Note: During the 6-week run of this contest, I will run out of certain supplements. When this happens, I may purchase additional supplements to take in addition to what is listed. If this happens, I will be posting them in this thread, both as a new post and as modifying this original listing. No guarantees, but nothing off-the-wall. If anyone has any questions about my stack, workout procedure, or food intake, please feel free to ask. I invite all to comment and suggestions at any point in time. Trash-talking is encouraged, as long as you don't go too far and get really insulting!! This is the stuff I feed on, and if you really want to help me out, let me know!!! Best of luck to ALL who are in this with me. Though we may pick at eachother daily, we're always friends. This is going to be my toughest fight ever. I don't know if I can do what I want to accomplish, but I'm sure as hell going to give it my all...every day in every way. </span>
Evolution you say?............ Wouldnt that imply that others are I dunno, maybe, evolved? Haha, JK man! Lokking good, good luck, and game on!
Very glad to have you on board! Thanks!! How did I know you'd be the first to respond to those pics?!? Don't worry, the spider died a painful death between my jaws. Unfortunately, he stress-shedded in the process and I can't get that stuff off me!! Others evolved? Oh, perhaps that might be true. But to evolve BEYOND is the true goal - to be a better man!!! Best of luck!!!
LET THE TRASH TALKING BEGIN!!! Thanks, Jules! Besides, I huff, and I puff, but I ain't blowin nobody's house down! I'M USING MY FISTS!!! Just to throw this one in here, I think the real winner of this 6-week transformation is going to be Maximus. If you don't know him, you will. If you already do, then I'll tell ya he's gained 10 lbs in the last 2 weeks. That means at nearly 11 weeks old, he's about 32 lbs.. In 6 weeks? Who knows!!! Perhaps I should supplement him with some Mass FX and Hyperdrol?!?! HA!!
you're only taking 10 total MILLIGRAMS of creatine per day??? Ummm that sahould be real effective! :ermm:
1. I like my...uh...arms. They aren't too bad. 2. I hate my gut. Why won't it go away? Oh, wait, have to work for it... 3. Damn, I'm one hairy sonuvabitch. Hmmm..... 4. My legs look like tree trunks. I'm sure we can get them back in order. 5. Do I even have shoulders? I see them once a week when I work them, so they must exist. 6. I'm not a bodybuilder. I'm not even that good of a powerlifter. I'm just big. 7. Everytime I think my lats are getting bigger, I just grow more hair. 8. I was 25lbs heavier this time last year, but only about 1/4 as strong. Good. 9. Why do all of my shirts cost so much? Doesn't anybody cheap make a 3XLT? 10. Slow and steady vs. Fast and furious. Hmmm... I want it now! </span> </span>
PERV ALERT!! PERV ALERT!! HA! Not to worry, I'm pretty sure it wasn't touching what you wish it was touching!! D'OH!! Well, I said I was on a budget and wanted to make things stretch for a while!!! Lemme go back and look this up and make sure how much I am taking. It'll be changed very shortly. Oh, look! Page loaded in another window... Ok...I'll go back and edit to 5 grams total, 2.5 before and 2.5 after. Leave to you to pick that out for me, TT!! Thanks. And thanks for stopping by! Now...where's your log so I can pick on you?!?!? HA!
HA! Great Danes, man. Gotta love 'em! Actually, very close to my own weekly gains on Mass FX!! For Max, it's normal...almost scary, though!
