[LevButlerov]

Log Day 50

Coming off my 2 rest days as prescribed. Woke up this morning feeling good. @LevButlerov told to enjoy a cheat meal so I at a ton of sushi for dinner last night.

I'm starting to think a lack of carbs might be leading to my lethargy. I only had 184g of carbs the day before I started to feel wrecked and only had in the low 200s the following days. I'm in week 4, 1 RIR, of my training programs and with the higher intensity I think I need to up my carb intake. Going to try that this week and see how it goes.

Keep getting high stress readings in my sleep which is pretty abnormal for me. The last 3 nights I'm showing up to an hour of sleep stress when it's usually 0. Not sure what's up there.

Went for my bloodwork this morning and I'm excited to see where I'm at. This is my first cycle so it's all uncharted territory for me. I'd like to start titrating up but I'm hesitant until I know exactly what's going on. I will post my results once they show up.

Took a quick pic this morning when I woke up to head for my bloodwork. Starting to look pretty decent in the AM. I'm used to looking like an endurance athlete in the mornings, so this is a big improvement.

NICE! too bad no pic of the sushi cheat meal LOL next time I hope you share. @BeMe
The pic you posted, very tight, you are growing, bigger arms and tighter abs, perfection. Love the shoulders as well.
For the carbs, you can up the carbs and see how you feel closer to 400 but might be hard.

Thanks for making me feel bad for not taking pics of my sushi lol.

Ya I was pretty surprised how much bigger I'm looking in the mornings. My weight is staying up now too.

I think I'll try to stay around 300g of carbs this week and see how it feels. I bloat up if I eat too many carbs, but I have issues if I go to low as well. The low 200s used to be a sweet spot but I think the goal posts have moved on me and I need to adjust.

Sitting down for dinner. T bone, baked sweet potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms

Love my sushi. The macros aren't the greatest so I guess it's technically a cheat meal.

On the food. The best results in logs do NOT include brands. Cos that means additives and un-needed crap

@BeMe bro you lookin like a champion. got a nice clean physique. i like it IMO

watch out for ready made/restaurant sushi. its loaded with things like soybean oil which is awful. but making it from scratch can be perfectly fine with the right ingredients

There's only one open Mr. Olympia, there's someone better out there than every man except him that year.

In your case tho the transformation is more the marketing machine. Telln you bro, these UGLs would be lucky to have you. Most guys are hoping to look as good as you after 3 years, 3 weeks would sell some serious gear. Just don't promote your 7 days a week of training so much when you're sponsored lol. Gotta have people thinking if they did the same gear you did they'd look like you in 3 weeks too lol

thanks man. i am a great reactor to gear. my first cycle i blew up like 20 pounds

@BeMe bros all the hard work and hours you are putting in.
blood sweat and tears. its all paying off. you got a nice and strong iron physique. keep it up

 

[BeMe]

Totally agree. I eat a whole food diet for the most part. The only processed food that gets a pass with me is protein bars.

@BeMe

looks on point. you got a strong 4 pack. now next step is let's see if you can get a 6 pack

I get the 6 sometimes when I'm training. That was a just rolled outta bed in the AM shot. I was just surprised I actually looked decent cuz I'm used to lookn like a skeleton in the mornings

 

[BeMe]

No ready made stuff for me..I'm a bit a sushi snob lol. I mainly eat nigiri (fish/rice only). Not much of a fan of the westernized rolls. I'm actually half Japanese so I'm picky when it comes to the quality of the fish. Must be in my blood

@BeMe You are looking fantastic on this.
The veins are popping out of your arms. And you got some vascularity even in your stomach. That's very good. You are leaning out beautifully.

Log Day 51

Felt good to get back to training after 2 days of required rest. Made some decent progression over the previous week. I thought it would be more because of the 2 rest days but I guess I'm still on the road to recovery, and I did 4 hours of yard work before I trained. Almost hit 11k steps and other than bloodwork and Home Depot, I was working around the house all day. Feeling good this morning even though my sleep wasn't the greatest last night. According to my wife I was coughing in my sleep. I might have extended my sauna session a bit too long last night.

Thanks @Ulter

I checked out your log and wow you look incredible. Hard to believe your 56 years old. I'm 40, but remember what a guy in his 50s looked like when we were young. Now there's you at 56 and you look like you should be on the cover of a magazine!
