I don't mess around when it comes to cutting up. I would like to thank the guys over at Gaspari & Driven Sports for giving me the opportunity to log these amazing products. Let's get started, shall we?

Cardio
Cardio is going to be a little tricky, so I'll have to play it by ear. I will not perform any cardio on the days I have to work nights. I'm a doorguy at a bar in downtown Austin, so I'm basically moving around for 6 hours. Last year I did way too much cardio, so I'm going to ease up this time around. With a solid diet alone, my metabolism is on fire.

*45 minutes LISS after workouts 2-3 times a week
*If needed 2 30 minute sessions when pressed on time
*Ride bicycle to the gym & grocery store when weather permits
*When using my car, park as far away as possible

Thanks. There are a few other Mito logs up, so keep an eye on those for some stellar results.

I've never been there, but I'll be sure to hit it up when I'm done cutting.

U guys scared to put on some fat when bulking for mass and strength? Weeks 5-8 are going to be great for you. Lean Xtreme is amazing.

O'rlly? BTW, D, did you receive the package yet? I think MLK held things up.

sub'd in trying to keep track of all winners it 20 logs right

Yesterday I made it home from work at 4:15am, so no time to update. I didn't have much of an appetite all day, and I had to force-feed myself. I barely made it through the leg workout because I felt restless and fatique all day. I sort of had a eurphoric, high going all evening. My mind was sharp but but the body just wouldn't cooperate. Today should go better, and it's an easy cardio day. Again I am working until 3:30-4am. Still no appetite.

Squats 4 sets of 10
SLDL's 3 sets of 12
Lunges 2 sets of 10
Leg curls 3 sets of 12
Standing calf raises 2 sets of 15
Seated calf raises 2 sets of 15

[Dracoy]

Damn insane work day. I'll call home to see if a package came for me.

[cyde]

Everything is back to normal. I have a solid appetite and the awkward uneasy feeling from Mitotropin has faded. I worked a 6 hour shift tonight, did a little barbacking & security (lots of cardio there), plus a 45 minute session in the afternoon. One good thing about Mito is that it makes cardio insanely easy. It didn't take much effort to elevate my heart rate.

Day one was hell; but if the rest of this log end up like today, it's smooth sailing. Tomorrow I'm hitting an Italian joint for a carb refeed, so I'm looking forward to a good chest/tri workout. Well I need to get some sleep.

[Zachattack43]

Where do you workout at?

[cyde]

Flat bench: 3 sets of 10
Incline DB press: 4 sets of 10
Medicine ball push-ups: 3 sets of 10/10 (alternating hands)
Dips: 3 sets of 12
Flyes: 3 sets of 12
Skull crushers: 3 sets of 10
Cardio: 35 mintutes on the elliptical

Today's session was much better than the last. My energy levels are back to normal, and I'm hungrier than normal. The only meal I had to choke down was breakfast, but I always had that problem. Already I can see a difference in body composition. My chest is looking more defined and shapely, plus my cheeks are thinning out.

Where do you workout at?

Hyde Park Gym & O2 Fitness (Riverside inside that old theater). I work at Hyde Park, so I get a free membership.

[Dracoy]

Nice mix, sorta reminds me of my workouts.

[APowerz6]

subbed. also a bouncer, and I work at a gym, looking to see how mito works I am very intrigued as I had a chance to use LIPOKINETIX and had a great run with it.

[extremenergy3]

Cyde will do a good job with the cut whether he has a fatburner or not. Just check out his avi! Shredddddeeed!

What sort of preparations are you taking for this upcoming powerlifting meet? 5x5, 3x3? For some reason I can see you getting into strongman events, hah.

Welcome aboard. How long have you been a bouncer?

Dude, you don't want to know how much blood and sweat I put into the conditioning. I hope I have the drive to push myself further this year. There's a contest in town April 26th and 1st week of May. 13 weeks isn't much time, but I might make weight

Is it by weight classes? Which one you going for?

[cyde]

Is it by weight classes? Which one you going for?

Not 100% but the weight classes for men's novice are light (<170), middle (171-180-something), and heavy (mid 180's +). I'd get stomped in the heavy divison against the manlets, but it'd be a fun experience.

Nice. I plan on bulking to a nice weight (180ish) and cutting down to 165ish for a lightweight show someday... Hopefully by next year

[cyde]

After my morning dose of Mitotropin & breakfast, I felt a little antsy. My girlfriend and I had a bit of spare time today because she had a doctors visit, so we decided to knock out some cardio together. Energy levels were high, and my appetite is coming back strong. I can finally eat all my veggies with each meal. I was able to knock out a short & intense workout today without a hitch.

Cardio: 55 minute off-road walk

Deadlift: 4 sets of 10
Wide grip pull-up: 4 sets of 8
DB row: 3 sets of 12
Close grip lat. pulldown: 3 sets of 12
BB curl: 3 sets of 10
seated incline DB curl: 3 sets of 10 + burnout set

Cardio: 25 minutes on elliptical after workout

Again I'm noticing my heart rate climbing quicker than usual, but I'm not complaining. Less effort for fat burning results is OK in my book. On a side note, I am getting a better quality of sleep since I started taking Novedex XT. It still takes me a while to fall asleep; however, once I doze off, I am out cold until morning.

That would be awesome. Your back is going to look huge at 180.
