Getting lean and mean with Betancourt!

[MattRage]

I will be logging Betancourts Ripped Juice ex2 and Deprogen ARS stack. I will be playing with my caloric intake and macros throughout this log to find what works for me.. The goal is to lose 7-10lbs with this stack in preparation for a more aggressive cut this spring.

I would like to thank TatteredSaint and the Betancourt crew for giving me this opportunity.. This will be my second log for these guys (Phosflex 10/10) but hopefully not the last.

let the lulz begin

Day 1
weight 241lb-21%bf

Shoulder Day!

first off.. im not strong so be kind when i post numbers.. for the sake of time and neatness i will only post finishing weight and reps

Seated Shoulder Press- 145x5

Seated Lateral Raises- 35x12

UpRight rows BB- 135x8

BB front raise- 55x8

Reverse flye- 35x12

Cable lat raise- 40x12

Hammer Strength Shrugs 3plt per side x 12

25 min eliptical

Breakfast- 1 whole egg 1 cup of egg whites/3 slices turkey bacon/2 slices dry Ezekial bread (1 ripped juice 1 Deprogen ARS 20min prior)

Lunch- 8oz Baked skinless bonless chicken breast/ 1 cup green beans (1 ripped juice 20 min prior)

Dinner- 8oz Turkey meatloaf 1.5 cup green beans (1 ripped juice 20 min prior)

I will take another dose of the Deprogen at bed time..

First thoughts.. I workout fasted so by the time i eat breakfast i am usually pretty hungry after my first dose i felt the hunger lessen even before i started eating and actually didnt finish all my eggs.. it is noteworthy to say i was off work today so usually when i sit around the house i snack around a bit.. today i never had the craving or wanted to do any snacking between meals.

i will likely have a shake before bed since im a little short on my protein and like i said i will continue to tweak my diet as i go...

Day 2

Today was back day.. yesterdays ultra low caloric intake was evident in my workout today.. energy was ok but strength was off.. anyway here goes

Dead lifts 335x5

Wide grip lat pulls 135x12

straight arm pull downs 65x12

narrow grip pull downs 150x8

seated rows 185x8

bent over rows 155x8

So i tried to get more calories in today.. it might be easier if i had any appetite at all.. but i guess this is a good thing right?

Breakfast
1 whole egg-1 cup whites/ 4 slices turkey bacon/ wheat toast dry

Snack
protein bar

Lunch
12oz chicken breast- 1 cup green beans

Snack 2
protein shake made with 10oz egg whites 2 scoops whey will be using big blend soon i hope

Dinner
turkey sammich with 6oz breast wheat bread and low fat cheese

that is it for now will try to get a shake in before bed.. same as day 1 i took 1 ripped juice and 1 deprogen prior to first meal and 1 ripped juice before lunch and dinner.. will take my second dose of Deprogen at bed time..

So far the appetite control has been great.. one thing ive had going on the last 2 days.. maybe related maybe not but i cant get cool lol i have the ac in the house down to 70 everyone else is wearing hoodies and i am sweating my balls off... could this be related?

I'm a video freak. I love to see videos of people training. I make training videos all the time, it spices things up a bit. Doesnt have to be all serious, have fun with it. Maybe even some random naked chicks in the back ground.

this is in the plans.,.

[tatteredsaint]

as for the fact that u are heated up all the time it is more than likely related to the ripped juice ramping up the metabolism , its a good sign
