Yup thats perfect swap it out.Good call. Honestly wasn’t even thinking and was just taking out of habit. No reason to burn money.
Some days are harder we get it.Yea, today specifically my time was crunched because I was leaving work early and wouldn’t have been anywhere else with a microwave until after my window, so I just tossed them together. Typically I would have spaced those a couple hours apart. One at noonish and the other around 2:30.
Yep, we can absolutely add the pump cardio in pre-workout. We’ll do that tomorrow. Tomorrow is arms, so we’re looking forward to that![]()
ez bar straight arm pull downs.
weighted back extension looks fine.
i would get rid of the bagel out of yoru diet. replace with some oatmeal or eggs
That's a LOT of supps
Eight-hour. Window is still too long. I would shorten it to 4 or 6 hours.
Not seeing enough veggies in your diet.
Those are going to be crucial.
@GDDY stay on that grind bro! Looking forward to following your log! Keep it going!Sorry for not updating the log last night. Yesterday was a long Sunday and I was beat. Regardless, everything was still logged and is posted below with Cals/Macros included. I took my Monday weekly update pics and attached as well. Today is the start of week 4 on my Cycle. I know the scale bf% isn’t accurate, but I’ll post here anyway for comparison. See those below. I’ll be hitting chest today, and we’re feeling good, so I’m looking forward to that. I’ll be sticking to my typical week day breakfast/snacks, and have pork loin and white rice on the menu for lunch.
Last Monday Morning Dry Weight/bf: 172.6lbs/22.6%
Today’s Dry Weight/bf: 173.7/22.8%
- Last night pre-dinner the scale read 176.4lbs/23.6%
I got my N2Guard in, as well as my Cardazol. So I’ll be starting that today. Any recommendations on how to take the Cardazol? Exactly like the bottle says, or has anyone found other methods they like? If I could take just 3 (or however many needed) caps 30 mins pre-workout with my Kre-Alkalyn, that would be very convenient. I also need to get more protein powder. Any recommendations there? I have my few brands/flavors that I usually rotate out, but always interested to hear others input. I usually go with R1, Hi-tech Pharm, or ISO100. Anything else that’d suit me better?

Friday Log
* I think some people are only reading my workout log or food log, so I’m going to start combining both into just a full days schedule. Hopefully this format will be easier to follow.
6am - Wake up (Water and ACV)
6:30am - Fasted cardio (incline treadmill for 30mins)
11am - 1.5 Cups unsweetened silk almond milk, 1.5 Scoop Protein powder with 13g honey. Ratio Yogurt. 41g Peanut butter. (Was on the move, so blended this into a shake to take with me)
11:15am - Banana
12pm (Pre-workout) - 65g cold oats, 20g PB2fit, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 12g honey. Was also on the move, so made cold oats out of this and took with me to eat in the truck before workout.
12:15pm - HEB Protein bar
* 1pm: Workout - Arm Day

Happy Friday, Bros! Y’all stay safe and move weight!!!
@GDDY this is a good eating window, but can you change peanut butter to walnut butter?
Also banana can you change to protein bar? same calories roughly like a quest bar.
Thanks for combining both logs easier to read actually. Following closely.![]()
try to find it see if you can make changed.Thanks for following and staying responsive man. These little changes are exactly what I need. I’ll have to look for the walnut butter. I just got a new thing of peanut butter, so I’ll have to make that do till I can find walnut butter, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout. I can swap out the Banana for a Bar now though.
@GDDY N2guard is the way!Hey bros. I’m at the gym hitting legs now and wanted to post an update of my supplements and get thoughts. I cut out some of the individual night-time supps I was taking and replaced with N2Guard. I’ll post my food and workout for today after the gym.
Supplements update
* Test E Monday and Thursday night before bed (350mg/week)
* Rad-150 every morning when I wake up (15mg)
*Cap full of apple cider vinegar with 20oz of water first thing in the morning and another right before bed.
* 3 tabs of N2Guard every morning when I wake up - 2 tabs mid day - 2 tabs before sleep
* 3 tabs of Cardazol 30mins before workout - 2 tabs on off rest days
* 2 tabs of Kre-Alkalyn 30 mins before workout - 2 tabs immediately post workout - 2 tabs mid day on rest days
* Multi-Vitamin (Sam’s club brand) every night before sleep
* 1 tab of Mega Red Omega-3/Krill oil every night before bed
* Protein powder rn is Hi-Tech Pharm Whey (Typically 2 scoops a day, but use as needed)
* Pre-Workout rn is P.S.P by Metabolic Nutrition. No caffeine, which I like.
Interested to hear thoughts on this line up and if it should be adjusted, or if there’s any particular brands that are a step above the rest.
@GDDY Great updates man........Update: I had a Ratio Protein cup at 7:30pm. My energy was bottomed out and headache was killing me. I’m good to go now, but I wasn’t successful staying in my 6 hour window today. Tomorrow I’ll be back on track. Tomorrow I’ll hit my fasted cardio, am going to play a short part 3, so that’ll be a little movement, and then plan to hit the gym for something similar to last Sunday. Not exhaust myself, but catch a good pump and work anything that feels healthy. I also forgot to attach Cals/macros above, so those are here.
@GDDY this is a good day but I see honey up here.Saturday Log
Today I was pretty off on my Cals/macros. This will be my rest day for the week. I was able to get 30 mins of fasted cardio in first thing this morning, and walked about 4.5 miles through the day. The fiancé and I went to a small town square about an hour away and spent the day walking around and enjoying the weather. We were supposed to be home in time to eat salmon burgers at 5pm for my last meal, but we didn’t get back by then. Thankfully I packed a small cooler and had a few planned meals with me, and a couple of backup things just in case. I ate all I had, but I was still pretty short of my Cals, and my macro ratio was pretty off. On the positive, we stopped at a diner for a late breakfast and I did have a delicious breakfast sandwich.
7am - Wake up (Water and ACV)
7:15am - Fasted cardio (incline treadmill for 30mins)
11am - Breakfast sandwich (English muffin, egg whites, Avacado, 2 Sausage pattys)
11:15am - 1.5 Cups unsweetened silk almond milk, 1.5 Scoop Protein powder with 13g honey. 20g PBfit.
2pm - 65g cold oats, 20g PB2fit, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 12g honey. Was also on the move, so made cold oats out of this and took with me.
4pm - Two scoop protein shake and Barbell protein bar
5pm - Two bananas
Yes you will have a headache as you transition into ketosis. You can cycle with low carbs to high carbs as well if the ketogenic-like state is hard for you, others do this with success.Update: I had a Ratio Protein cup at 7:30pm.

Sunday was an active rest day. Was out moving all day, had at least 5 miles of walking in. Had some light movement in the gym that I didn’t even bother to track. It was no set format, just worked anything that felt healthy and focused on a lot of mobility and good muscle feels. Did a lot of stretching as well. I hit about 2150 Cals, with my ratio staying good at 36% Protein, 34% carbs, and 29% fat.
7:30am - Wake up, ACV and water
10:30am - Golf
11:30am - Barbell protein bar and HEB brand protein bar
1pm - Protein shake (60g Protein powder, 30g PBfit powder, 15g honey, 100g unsweetened almond milk, Ratio yogurt cup)
3pm - Asian Chicken Lettuce wraps from Cheesecake Factory
5:30pm - Chicken bowl with rice and veggies
Active rest is greatToday (Monday 2/3/25), I’m going to aim to cut my eating window down to 5 hours. I overslept and was in a rush this am and completely forgot to take progress pics, so I will take those tonight and post. I also missed my morning cardio, which sucks. I’m hitting chest today though, and I’m very excited for that. According to the scale, we’re at 19.4% bf and 174lbs. Regardless of accuracy, both of those are moving in the right direction.
Active rest is greatwould love some of those gold pics big guy.
I do think 5 hours is perfect if you can cut the eating window. We can get you lean lets do this.@GDDY
4 hours will be interesting, you can do this EVO family supportAt the gym now just getting going. Will 100% take/post update pics after workout and when I get home. I challenged myself and actually got my eating window down to 4 hours today, with the last meal being 2 hours ago before the gym, and carb heavy. So we’re looking forward a solid pump here shortly. Time to zone in and hit chest hard. Will post updates shortly

10pm - Sleep. Alarm’s set for 3am to get that early morning fasted cardio in
Today marks the start of week 5. This morning when I stepped on the scale first thing, it read 174 lbs and 19.4% bf. Tonight, post workout, it read 178.4lbs and 20.4% bf.
Progress pics attached.
you're looking great i see you leaning out brodont worry about bf scale reading you look leaner and more tight i see progress there and volume is up too bro nice
Not bad at all with the pictures you will easily cut down if you tighten up your diet
you look more full too broThanks bro, I really appreciate it. Muscles are definitely feeling more full, just have to keep leaning out. Things are going in the right direction, just gotta keep pushing. Hitting back/shoulders rn. Will post up today’s log post workout.
dont sub walnut butter for peanut butter broThanks. I’m looking to sub Walnut butter for the peanut butter. Add more rice and oats to replace bagels. Today I was out so had a quarter of a bagel to get my carbs. You’ll see I missed my protein shake today, so that hurt my protein intake pretty bad, but we finished the day in a pretty big defect.
Any advice on anything else can I do to tighten the diet up? Thanks for following along and helping guide, I really appreciate the support.

5:30pm: While on the way to the gym I realized I never drank my protein shake. This would’ve put me at a 6.5 hour eating window if I drank it then. My priority right now is to get more lean, so I decided to not drink it and be in a heavier deficit today. This had me at about a 450-500 Cal deficit today, consuming about 1900Cals total. Pics posted from food log. If need be I’ll eat in a 6 hour window tomorrow, but today we were at a 4.5 window.

fasted cardio
fasting in general do some longer fasts like 24-36 hours here and there
time restricted eating
if you really want to jack things to a whole new level do alternate day fasting. eat day 1 , fast day 2, and so on. it will murder your fat and conserve muscle even while natural
Bros, put up some pictures of your golf game. Why not? It keeps it interesting.
Are you a good golfer?
What kind of score do you usually get? I don't do well at it.
I like that you're waking up to some water and apple cider vinegar.
They say it's good for detox.
You should rotate some lemon and apple cider vinegar.
Because lemon is also good health benefits.
Nice progression on this thing's for posting up your pictures.
That's an early cardio session. Wow.
I definitely would consider some fasting and time restricted eating as well.
That's a great suggestion and we'll definitely help.
I go to bed at 5am no way i could wake-up lol to early for me.
Best you do fasting on rest days easier to manage. @GDDYI’m eating in a 4-6 hour window daily now (aim for 4, but sometimes on the weekends being on a looser schedule it turns to 6). I’m definitely going to do a 24 hour fast in the near future. I never have, and I want to challenge myself. When would you recommend to do this? On a training day? Rest day? Doesn’t matter? Would it be fine to do my normal 4 hour window one day and then go straight into a 24 hour fast, and then back to my 4 hour window?

@GDDY impressive day todayThursday Log
3:15am - Wake up
3:30am - 30 mins incline treadmill
4:45am - Get to work
10:45am (First meal)- Eat chicken, rice, veggies. Also ratio yogurt cup and barbell protein bar
1:30pm (pre-workout meal) - Double scoop protein shake with 20g PBfit powder. Barbell protein bar. 20 almonds.
2pm - Gym
- Arm Day
* Started with 30 mins on incline treadmill
Since I went to the gym early today, I was still pretty bloated from food, so the pump cardio didn’t happen.
4x12: Rope Tricep extensions
4x12: Hammer curls
3x15: Reverse ez-bar Tri extension
3x21’s: Straight bar curl (7 full reps, 7 half reps up, 7 half rep’s down)
3x10: V-bar Tri extension with a push pause equal to each rep, then partials till failure (Ex. 1st rep hold for 1 sec, 2nd rep hold for 2 secs, etc)
3x10-12: Single arm cable curls with fat grips
3x15: Cross body cable Tri-extension
3x15: Cable hammer curls
3:45pm (Last meal of the day) - 60g chicken breast, 135g sweet potatoes, 50g oats, 10g protein powder, 10g PBfit powder, Oikos pro yogurt cup.
I was 300 Cals short today of my 2350 goal. I packed a solid amount of avocado and a little peanut butter to finish my Cals and get my macros in, but when I went to eat it, it had gone bad. I had my eating window at 5 hours today, and it was actually pretty difficult to get even that amount of food in today. Im already falling short of my cal goals and not having trouble, so I’m thinking of dropping my daily intake down to 2000 for a couple of weeks and seeing how that goes.
I got off work early today, hence how I got my workout in early and log posted early. I’m planning to be in bed by 8pm tonight so I can hopefully catch up on some sleep. One more day till the weekend! Anyone have any special plans for the Super Bowl?

Today marks the start of week 5. This morning when I stepped on the scale first thing, it read 174 lbs and 19.4% bf. Tonight, post workout, it read 178.4lbs and 20.4% bf.
Progress pics attached.
@GDDY looking good bro! Hows the Cardazol treating you?
we all taken cardazol broIt definitely gives me a solid little pump and some energy into my workout. I’ve been taking 2 about 3 minutes before and 2 at the start. I may try going by what the bottle says and see how that does. It does make me sweat like a pig in my workout lol. Have you taken it? And if so how do you take it?
increase your vitamins intake by 2 times and high vitamin C and D also broQuick update, I woke up Friday with a nasty bug of some sort. No appetite, lethargic af, felt like I was hit by a bus. This afternoon we’re about 70% better. Appetite is still minimal though. Basically been drinking protein shakes and a few bites of things here and there to try and get some Cals in. Hoping I can be back to 100% tomorrow and get some type of workout in. Thankfully it’s not the flu and just some sh*ty bug. I swear, nothing worse than getting sick in the middle of a cycle.
we all taken cardazol broits like a pre cardio staple for us
increase your vitamins intake by 2 times and high vitamin C and D also bro
2 caps cardazol preworkout to start broNice. How do you like to take it? As stated on the bottle, or just 2-3 caps pre-workout?
add more vitamin D as wellDoing exactly this. We’re back to good now, going to keep vitamins all higher than normal for the week though. Also taking emergen-C for some extra Vitamin C.
dont go 100% in the gym, be careful start slow maybe 50% intensityUpdate:
Overall feeling over my weekend sickness I had. I did get in the gym yesterday just enough for a little pump and light sweat, not to overdue too much too soon. We’ll be back at it 100% yesterday. It was nice getting a little pump from several days off of illness, so we’re excited to hit chest tonight.
This morning my alarm didn’t alarm, so we woke up late and weren’t able to hit morning cardio or take progress pics, but we’ll get those pics taken tonight.
I feel like I’m not leaning out quite as much as I’d like, so I’m cutting the Cals back to 2000 and am going see how that goes.
I also went looking for Walnut butter and still have yet to find any. So I may just have to find another alternative for my fats. Avocados are a pita to keep from going bad, but I may just buy 2-3 at a time and go with that.
I did also get some fiber powder, Powdered greens with pre-biotics, and ground chia seed to add into my protein shakes. My fiber was a little low most days, so hopefully this will help fill in a few gaps.
Monday Log

I’ve double checked and have avacado and almonds packed for tomorrow, so we’re good there. Needless to say, today was a low cal day, but workout was also a little lighter than usual being the first full day back since the sickness.

@GDDY 177 is a great weight, you seem much leaner now than in the start broWeek 6 Progress Pics:
I took these this morning Post my 25 mins on the treadmill cardio and my morning water and ACV.
I’ve been going lower on my Cals trying to lean out a little faster. Thinking I will adjust from 2350 to 2000 daily. Thoughts on this from progress pics attached? Or would it be better to up cardio and keep Cals at 2350? Im still running a 35% Protein - 35% Carb - 30% Fat ratio.
The scale this morning read 177.4lbs and 20.4%bf. I stepped on the “old school” scale yesterday at the gym post workout, and it had me just over 186lbs. Interesting to me that I was I was almost 10lbs lighter over night. Does this seem accurate, or could my scale be “weigh”off?
I’m about half way through my cycle now. I’d like to hear input on any cal/macro adjustments, as well as any exercise change.
@GDDY 177 is a great weight, you seem much leaner now than in the start broyou look amazing BIGGEr arms and chest and LEANER HOT!
this is why the EVO family is here for you to help you with results and support and guide you and clearly you're getting results
happy to see you share with the family broThanks bro. The EVO fam has been a huge help for sure. Excited to see what happens the next several weeks once everything starts to really kick in. Strength has gone up a lot. Weight is moving much easier week to week. On the treadmill now, then hitting back. I’ll post today’s log post workout.
I've never understood what it means to be a certain handicap.
So when you say you're a 14 handicap, what does that mean In golf I don't understand that part.
Are you doing any sort of fasting to help you lean out quicker? That's going to help boost your insulin sensitivity fast.
I would love to see you do some fasting.
That's gonna be a nice weapon.
Fasted cardio is going to be extremely important. The more you can do the better.
Eat your first meal at 4 PM and eat in a 2 to 3 hour window.
Try that, and I guarantee you will start losing fat fast.
Yes scales can be off. But equally why are you weighing so frequently? And yes weight varies through the day.Week 6 Progress Pics:

@GDDY the training is top gun broi see you trying hard
on the foods lets keep it updated pretty good ratios whats your macros on this?
I love golf and I am here looking out at 4 feet of snow, lol.
Friday will be a big day @GDDY lets get a food update with your bday food broThanks man, I’m trying to keep it clean. Macro split is 35% Protein-35% Carbs-30% Fat for 2k Cals. I’ll post today’s log with food and macros right after this. Fair warning before you give me too much props… Friday is my birthday, so I won’t be counting Cals or fasting on Friday. I’m not eating 20lbs of sweets or anything, but the fiancé apparently has a big breakfast and dinner out planned. There’s no chance in hell that I’m about to start nick-picking her meals on my birthday, especially when she’s being selfless enough to put me first on Valentine’s Day (even if it is a bs holiday). I will absolutely hit the gym that morning though. Planning on a “whatever doesn’t hurt” workout to fill in any gaps.
Jeez bro, that is brutal. It’s been rainy and cold here, so I’ve been hitting on a Sim indoors. I am getting out Saturday and playing though for the first time in a couple months. I’m very excited.
Very balanced today. Did you have enough energy to play? or is that easy for you to do Golfing?Wednesday Log

- 1:45pm: 200g White rice, 80g chicken, 90g carrots, 55g Avocado.
- 5-6:30pm: Golf (League night. Collectively we played the best we have in 5 weeks, we just couldn’t drop any putts. Finished +2 through 9. I’ll throw a pic of the score card up, just to keep things fresh lol)

To be crunched on an hour time, this one was solid. I squeezed out as much as I could, and I didn’t go light to try and save time. We got a full tank out of tonight. Solid session.
- 8:30pm: Get home, shower, and prep for tomorrow.
- 10pm: Set alarm for 3am and sleep
Attached the score card from tonight’s 9 hole scramble on the golf sim. Putting on a Sim is very hard, and I already suck at it, so that doesn’t help. Other than that, we played pretty good and shot +2 through 9.
I also attached food Cals and Macros. We were pretty spot on today, and also pretty clean.
That’s asking for a lot
Very balanced today. Did you have enough energy to play? or is that easy for you to do Golfing?![]()

Note: My food was the same as yesterday. I knew it was good for my macros/Cals so I didn’t put it in my app, just weighed it out and ate in my 5 hour window, which was till 1:30pm. So I didn’t go into detail with food here other than what I ate right before my workout.

* I did get in the scale today and had good results. Body weight was 176 and BF% was 18.9%. Things are going in the right direction
@GDDY happy birthdayFriday Log
* This one’s going to be short. Today’s my birthday, and Valentines Day, so we’re going to enjoy the day with the fiancé and take the day off from logging for the most part. Also won’t be tracking food today. Just focusing on the fiancé and myself today. She cooked a great breakfast though. Pancakes, eggs, hash brown sticks, bacon, and fruit bowl. She also got me donut holes (I had 5) and petit fours (I had 1). I’m not a huge cake fan, and growing up my mom would always get me petit fours, so she stuck to tradition. She has dinner reservations tonight and I’ll be getting either steak or fish. I’ll take some pictures of dinner to post later as well.
I hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day and a great Friday. I’ll be playing golf tomorrow and getting back to the daily routine.
