AppNut Stack - Free Test and HGH Up

[TheReverend]

Goal:
Bulking muscle and cutting fat... AT THE SAME TIME. Sounds odd, but had some good success with this in my BB.com Platinum series log, and I want to try and keep that going and build off it. Cycling your body composition from bulk to cut repeat is monotonously stupid anyway.


Supplement plan:

- Free Test and HGHUp by AppNut
- Creapure Creatine
- BCAAs
- Multivitamins
- Whey

Diet plan:

- Intermittent fasting
- Each day will contain 2.5k cals of consumed food with another 500 in shakes on training days (essentially eating at maintenance)

Workout plan:

- 3 FASTED full bodies per week at mod-high intensity (M - heavy 5x5, W - light, long contraction work, F - 5x5 moderate explosion lifts)
- Bike to and from gym when temperature of weather's permitting

Before:



^ Good lord that's an embarrassing pic. A relaxed pic after a week off and Thanksgiving bulk are recipe for failure... Lookin deflated AND skinny fat at the same time.

Anyway, time to see what we can do!

Aww yah in for sexy time! Get that poison out, Reverend.

I usuallly do 4 caps FT first thing in the morning, and 5 caps HGH UP about 15 mins before bed. But you're free to play around, obviously. If you're up for it, try the HGH UP dose that way for a couple days or a week. Sleep is deep and restful.

Remember what Rickyman says... "Winter is when we get some Z's.."

My shakes are usually 300-400. I do 1.5-2 scoops of whey and mix with milk.

No, no, a bunch more than that. I havent decided on dinner sides yet. Today will be a little over 2500 cals.

IF in a nutshell is rearranging (reducing) your cal consumption windows. Instead of eating throughout the day, you fast for 16 (or so) hours and eat in a window of 8 (or so). It works great for me for two reasons:

1. Instead of having several smaller meals at 600 cals or so, I have two well over 1000. Makes me feel like I'm cheating, increases my satiety, and is a lot easier to properly plan and prepare 2 meals than 5 or 6.

2. Fasted periods have beneficial effects on your insulin levels.

Also, I've become pretty big on fasted workouts now through it, as well.

[yowhattapfatso]

hey pat this is going to sound weird but do you think you can include some occasional pictures of your food?

[drooks10]

In for the festivities. Looking forward to your log, man!

I actually just finished doing 10 months of IF, and enjoyed it. Loved the big meals!!!

[Black_Label]

Id do the IF, but I need food in me before/after the gym or i crash hard =\

You get used to it. That's somewhere between 95-100% in your head.
