Now that I've lost 90lbs... how to perfect my body...

[a_ahmed]

Honestly call it placebo or not... and taking into account I've changed my diet recently...and workout routines overall... this ADS pronabolin is making me get better rest/sleep... and i am definitely cutting fat, gradually shaping up... and feeling a bit harder (long ways to go)... I'm not getting off it... 60 bux wasted or not... I feel alright...

I just picked up my mail and two boxes of halodrol liquigels came. I got home so on empty stomach took 4 nytrovol pills and just popped 3 pills of halodrol liquigels in excitement... I'll be doing cardio in less than half an hour now... tomorrow legs and back... after tomorrow upper body.

Also since Im running out of sport labs nytrovol I figured I'd give plasmajet a try. I've heard and read positive (insane) results from people for vascularity out of this thing and since nytrovol got me hooked I'll give this a try...

Also I didn't use a phat burner since my hydroxycut days (ew), but I figured I'd give one a try, so I also ordered alongside plasmajet some Sum-Q (correct name?)

I guess I am building up a descent supplement stack... this stuff is addicting... I'll just keep away from Creatine until I get 15%< bf... When I do take creatine I feel like an animal and can push more weight/reps... but... without it recently I managed to get up to lifting the same... so no need I guess. When on it I felt bubbly lol.

To clean up the system and protect the liver and kidneys I heard about this thistle milk?... I guess that's another thing ill invest in to protect my liver... I don't want damage at the expense of losing fat/gaining muscle.

Came home and weighed myself at 199lbs woohoo... Aiming for that magical 195lbs number... I won't take no pictures until I see distinct big changes from before.. but sizes of pants and shirts don't lie

One thing I've also been forgetting to ask... I've had this since a long time but... never quite understood it. Since the days when I was not fat and doing martial arts I had cracking joints when I walk even... I had a habit of cracking my neck and fingers... but what I'm talking about is sometimes just regularly walking or sitting and getting up... is this something lacking for joints or what? I heard some kind of fish oils or something are good for that?

Reason I'm also asking... It's my first time lifting 'heavier' 45lbs-50lbs/dumbells in longer repetitions (I know alot of monster guys out there who can lift 80+ but give me a break I'm new )... so I want to protect my joints. I don't yet have large forearms so elbows, hand joints, etc... would be at greater injury potential no? Anything in particular I should get for this? One of those bands for wrists and elbows just to be safe?... what about these fish oils?

well i woke up this morning at 196lbs :O holy crap... I haven't seen this weight number in a long time.

I took some pix but nothing major, so not gonna post... difference is very subtle...

[a_ahmed]

well i got plasmajet and sub-q... plasmajet freaked me out as it indicates to take whole strip of ten pills... before i took it i researched... as i wasnt sure yes or no ten pills HOLY CRAP... anyways a good hour+ later I began working out and i definetely felt a lil pump... i dont know if its just from using nytrovol more regularly but the pumps are not as strong as they were when i first tried a nitric oxide. Is this kind of stuff suppose to be cycled???

Sub-q started with two pills and today ill do two pill and then two pill after work... will see the results.

Took some pix while working out of my arms and shoulders... i look so much more full and buff when I workout... but I am getting stronger overall... still tons of fat though I'll post some pix later...

I compared pix I posted and the pix I took a few days ago... 3 week difference, its minor fat wise and barely visible.. but its there... a lil tiny more muscular but its like you have to pay attention to changes... sucks but whatever only 3 weeks

I won't start creatine again as stated, I want to get lean and hard... and I can lift what I was lifting before with creatine so woohoo.. thats a good sign.

Also I wills top using muscle prime, I had a great upper body weights work out without prime muscle yesterday so thats a good sign

Meh some fat arm posin:







Sometimes when I workout I wear a 20lbs chest/upperbody armor... makes me sweat better, especially when I do cardio. It worked great when I was 250lbs to lose weight not as much fat loss lately though...

Also it's been a long time since I used them but the 5lbs (each) wrist weights made my forearms much bigger when I used to do martial arts... I always used to train with them... so I'll try to incorporate them in my workouts...

I also did a little ingenuity (ghetto)... I don't have a log bar, olympic bar, arm bar, or any bar for that matter... I need to get some... I also don't have a bench press

Anyways yesterday instead of curling dumbells all the time, I took a weighed 18lbs staff (same thickness as olympic bar onto which you put plates on.) and put my 35lbs plates on each end... its lose so a little bit of a balancing act... but i used it to curl and tried to do shoulder press this way too (a little tougher...) so it felt like a good thing... so I may get more plates and an actual bar of sorts... I mixed it up then with actual hammer curls, bicep curls, shoulder press with individual dumbells.

Ah well..., progress is there just slow

[a_ahmed]

I really liked my ghetto bar and plates thing i could still feel my shoulders/traps yesterday Woohoo I like paaaaain lol.. no pain no game

Anyways yesterday I did p90x cardio and then two or so hours later ran for 40minutes doing 1 minute fast, 1 minute slow. 5 mph run then 3mph resting, then got up to 5.5mph and 3 mph rest for a while nd eventually 5.8mph run and 3mph rest for 40 minutes it was alright i was sweating loved it

I have a fitline T-100 treadmill at home and it feels sometimes like it's going to fall apart hahahahaha... I wish I could have afforded something better .... I've run 8mph on it before but it feels scary LOL. Also... it's REALLY annoying that it doesn't have preprogrammable buttons/sequences I have to manually tap down the speed and it goes by clicks 0.1 0.1 0.1 up or down... can be a nuissance when trying to concentrate on running. Oh well as long as it gets the job done.

From now on no matter what I do I'll try to run 40 minutes every single day.. I want the goo and fat gone.. also I noticed after such sweaty runs my skin looks so healthy and all that stretchy skin from fat days smooths out which is awesome so double yay

I went to sleep at 197lbs and woke up this morning at 196lbs.

I ate 2090calories yesterday, I realized how easy it's just to chug food down I was tempted to eat more of my beans but I said no to my stomach's cravings. I just worry not to lose muscle when i dont eat but i had 210grams of protein.

I always wondered what is it that really matters in maintaining/building muscle. Is it the calorie intake or the actual protein grams or what... I saw on another forum how a guy was 240lbs but taking 1500calories and 240g of protein.. holy crap... and he was lifting ultra heavy and getting stronger constantly... I'm going to assume its the protein that really matters?

Ahmed,

You look great! Mashallah!!! I wish you best of luck...please keep doing what youre doing...its obviously working!

[a_ahmed]

Thanks akhi Assalamu Alaikum

I hit 193-194lbs this morning THANK YOU GOD

I reduced my calorie for the last week or so to 2000-2100 calories all the time 200g of protein. Last three days i've felt very weak when i tried to work out though.

Anyways goal is to hit 180lbs and then maintain that weight burn res of fat build muscle.. its awesome how my stomach is gradually changing and hanging less, less and less from the sides and just 'concentrating' on hanging from the bottom middle (what's left of the fat). i just hate the stupid skin that hangs down from middle frmo the very fat days makes me look more fat than i actually am gonna be a while till that part heals... bu hey... progress is always good alhamdulillah

I would just like to applaud you in your efforts. I am very grateful I am starting out at a fairly decent base at 5'8 165 pounds (162 pounds now). Keep up the hard work, your progress is very good!
