SelfMotivation"s 2010 Drouble-T Transformation challenge LOG

[SelfMotivation]

Getting started on this log a lil late but be sure to follow me to the finish line as I'll be pushing myself hard!

The Double-T products have definately helped me step it up to the next level.


Tomorrow will mark my third week in the competetion. I have been cutting for the past 2 months and I am already seeing great results. Since I have started taking the CreaDyl and NoBeta my pumps, muscle definition, strength and endurance have realy gone through the roof. I have started working with a personal trainer 2x/wk and hit the gym at least 5x/wk around 4:50. Ive been eating as clean as possible follwing a low fat, moderate carb and high protein diet. I carb load 1-2 meals on the weekend to boost me through the week. Ive been trying to bulk over the past two weeks, but I have dropped about a 1LB and .5% bodyfat. I will be upping my caloric intake a bit this week while staying on a low fat diet to increast lean muscle mass. My one problem is sleep, being a father, husban and a Operations Manager leaves little time for it. I usually run on about 5-6 hours of sleep and try to catch up on sundays.

Nice! How much NO Beta are you taking before your workout? How you liking the taste of the CreaDyl? I love the taste of the orange!

[Segansational]

Looking good, keep us updated!

5 seems to do the trick so far, may step it up to 6 for lower body on Thursday.

[Credz]

I agree, I take usually 4. 6 was a little too strong for me at first but the effects were crazy. Loving the NO-Beta. Have the pumps and strength increases been consistent?

[EVO-PT]

Good luck with the log mate! - looking forward to seeing results and your results with the double t supps!

Works like the first time every time, kicks in in about 6 minutes and is full blast by the time I've finished my warm up.

Super consistent, as of last week, I was still dropping body fat and about .5-1 lbs per week while still gaining strength and endurance.

I have been taking the No Beta and CreaDyl 5 days a week, detoxing on sat and Sunday to keep things fresh. Sunday is my off day, but even on Saturday I am still getting huge pumps in the gym.

Weighed in at 146.7 this morning, I must be burning a huge ammount of calories cause Im trying to gain lean weight but its only dropping. Thinking about trying a mass gainer but thinking it will only give me fat. Any thoughts?

First, welcome to the 2010 challenge and good luck in your pursuit! Good to have you on-board and will be looking forward to seeing your progress.

Next, your nutrition plan looks pretty solid. Do you have your macronutrient profile? Personally I have been doing 60P/20C/20F and seeing good results both in body fat loss and muscle gain.

On your question, I am not a fan of mass gainers - they seem to put on more body fat than they do lean muscle mass at least for me. I seem to do better in upping my protein intake and my healthy fat intake. I also like carb sources like the Ezekial cereals and bread as well.

I see you are taking Glutamine, is that for recovery? I would like to suggest one of the Double-T products that will help aid your muscle from becoming depleted of Glutamine while providing you with the needed BCAA's that will help keep your DOMs at a minimum and will assist in recovery and muscle growth. It is Glutacene. Well worth checking out. I could not imagine hitting the gym without it each day.

I would also suggest posting up your daily training routines here so we can have a look at those as well and be able to offer up any help in that area.

Again, good luck and let us know if there is anything you need help in.

Subbed for follow-ups.

Man, let me start off with congratulating you on your success with the transformation thank you for the interest you have placed in mine.

As for my macros I'm currently running at about 60P/30C/10f. The only fats I'm trying to consume are the ones in lean meats and the Omegas oils I've been taking (Although my son's fist birthday was last week and I slipped up a bit with the cake, but doing well overall.). Overall, lots of Optimum Whey, Boiled eggs, Chicken breast, Loads of Veggies, and Whole grain oatmeal.

Ive gained 2 lbs this week, so it looks like my body is starting to respond to the added calories. I'm also looting a little leaner at the same time.

Yes, I'm taking Glutamine for for recovery both prior to and immediately after my workouts. I will definitely give the Double-T one a try when I run out of what I'm using now.

Will get the workout up in the next day or so and I'm slacking @ work right now.

Hey! You might want to up your intake of good fats - nuts and avocados will do the trick. 10% is a little low. It'll help with energy as well. Plus it's a lot of calories, so it may help you to start gaining. Good work so far!

[journey2swole]

Thanks so much for your kind words on my transformation from the 2009 contest. I am amazed at the results I was able to achieve and attribute much of my success to the motivation and support I received from other participants and the Double-T reps. I also give much credit to all of the supplements I am taking from Double-T as well. They really give me the push and intensity I needed to get myself going as well as the recovery to allow me to hit the gym as hard as I could five days per week. I am now on a mission to continue my transformation and continue to add lean muscle mass and to cut additional body fat.

I agree with alieninja on the fat intake, it does add calories and also provides a great health benefit. I consume my fat content through avocados, almond butter (my personal favorite), peanut butter, nuts and coconut oil. I am very similar to your macro profile with 60 P/ 20 C/ 20 F.

Looking forward to your workout results and watching your progress in your transformation challenge. I know you will do well and like me it will be an experience you hate to see end.

Yeah, was eating 1-2 servings/day of almonds a couple months ago but it was definitely slowing my weight loss down. I went and bought an organic product from Publix called "Peanut Wonder(check it out, has some good fats and protein)" and some more almonds Sunday. My diet is back up to around 60p/20f/20c. My goal is to gain as much lean mass as possible, just worried that carbing and fatting it up will set me back. Im at about 10% now, my goal is 7-8% and i know its gonna be tough to drop that last little bit.

[SelfMotivation]

Seeing serious results! Sunday will mark my sixth week in and I am definitely looking and feeling great! Still hitting the Creadyl and No-Beta first thing and hitting the gym by 5AM. The Double-T products are the nuts and bolts of the machine that I'm becoming. Getting great pumps with the 4 No-Beta and 5 take it to another lever when I'm working lower body.

Oh yeah, and I'm loving the compliments I'm getting from friends and those around me that see the my results. Ive got my friends hitting the gym and getting interested in the products as well.

Ive also been throwing in a few more packets of oatmeal and protein throughout the day when I feel a lil hunger coming on.

I visually seem to be getting much thicker but the weight/body fat readings are not changing to much. Any info in appreciated.

[drooks10]

Subbed up, bro! So, you have 10 weeks left, right. Time to ramp up your intensity even higher than it already is!

I know it feels good to be getting those compliments!!!

Keep rockin' man and win this thing!

[fredarita]

You have good start. I think you do great too. Will keep up with your log too.

[Credz]

Diets looking pretty good man! I usually snack on a few nuts if i get too hungry inbetween meals.

[journey2swole]

Awesome update bro, it looks like you have things nailed down pretty tight with both your training and your nutrition.

I am sure with your nutrition plan and your training intensity you are cutting body fat and building some lean mass. At your macros I would be cutting fat but my ability to build lean mass would be greatly diminished.

If you are using a bio-electric scale fro monitoring your body fat level the readings on these can vary greatly, the best indicator of your progress shoule rest in how you look instead of the reading you are getting. If you are gaining LBM and cutting fat then your weight may be staying level, your just recomping your body makeup.

Kill it these last 10 weeks bro and keep up the great work.

[BPP]

dont worry about the scale too much as long as you like the results you're seeing visually

[fitnessman]

In for an update!

[StlBarbie]

Are you still using the NO Beta? :)

[drooks10]

Looking to hear from you soon! I hope you still have some big motivation!
