***I AM JUGGERNAUT 2014: Thnakd1***

[thnakd1]

The final stretch and finishing nice and strong!!! And seriously, your leg days are kick a$$, nice work! I am really looking forward to seeing your final results, and very interested to hear/see the results of the oxidane! Keep on pushing!!!

Thanks mel... trying to finish strong but family obligations kept me out of town this weekend. The oxidane has helped.. but I also have been drinking more water than I wanted originally.

[kconnell]

Denny's? Whole Wheat cakes anyone??

[thnakd1]

Now that I'm solo again in the gym, I'm taking all your leg workouts and using them. I dunno if I can push the weight and all the reps just yet, but you can bet that I'll give it my all! Consider them stolen! LOL!

Go for it dude... and if you can't lift the same weight just keep up on reps... and if you start to die a few early.. use rest/pause to eek out the final reps... I have to sometimes as well to do the reps I plan on doing!

[thnakd1]

Dang if I ate at Denny's that would be it no more food for the day....lol I'm just out strolling through logs thought I'd stop in and say looks like your doing awesome!! Finish line is super close

Well it wasn't denny's bc ours here is nasty.. I eat at a little mom and pop shop and denny's was the closest easy way to match up the meal... the food where I go is good and not greasy... love the place!

[thnakd1]

It's the end of the road for this challenge and you are on the final stretch. You are killing it. Great job, can't wait to see your final photos.

Thanks bro...I am trying to kill it to theend...the last day today was a killerleg day...now just to catch up on my log since I wagoneall weekend..no computer and minimal amount of fb! It was great honestly....

[thnakd1]

Denny's? Whole Wheat cakes anyone??

Lol... if our denny'swas worth a crap... I ate at a local mom and popshop and used the dennys for the fitnesspal app as a shortcut... yeah I now... shame on me... lol my place is a lot better and healthier though!

[WillisCrew]

Well it wasn't denny's bc ours here is nasty.. I eat at a little mom and pop shop and denny's was the closest easy way to match up the meal... the food where I go is good and not greasy... love the place!

lol I think every Denny's I've gone to I could call nasty..lol I of course was meaning the calories you get to take in... being a girl mine have to be much lower Maybe I should say being a girl and going for the body type that I want.... I have to keep the calories low even when I get to train like a man....lol Good luck on the end of your challenge.. I'm kind of coming in late.. a lot of jugger's are closing up shop (at least I get to see what I am up against )

[Lanithroe]

It's awesome to see that you have kept going strong this whole contest bro, and I want to thank you for stopping by my forum so much, and for the awesome advice you have given me when I needed bro. I am happy to have you with me this round of IAJ!

better late than never... and you should have seen my intake 3 weeks ago... 3600+ a day! but is was well balanced to meet my goals, I had to play with it a bit to find what was right for me and Im sure you will do the same! I am still going to be around and logging in this thread as well as going to everyone else that is still doing work to help encourage everyone!

It's awesome to see that you have kept going strong this whole contest bro, and I want to thank you for stopping by my forum so much, and for the awesome advice you have given me when I needed bro. I am happy to have you with me this round of IAJ!

I am glad to be a part of this with you as well and glad to see you in here again! And as you know... I try... I hope I have been able to be of help for you in this and hope to continue that in the future!

well days 87 & 88 wound up being rest days and a bit of a mini vacation. The family went down to san Antonio for the weekend to celebrate my oldest daughter's b-day. We had a great time and it was even better with no computer and very limited FB the entire time we were gone. While we were gone I kept my calorie intake low and started cutting down on my water intake as well in seeing how the Oxidane works for me.

Overall the rest days were great, but I could have done better on my meals, but convenience was king this weekend, but I made healthy choices.. other than the hamburger...ugh I was starving though...LOL The Oxidane is working well.. trying to see how and when to time my water reduction is what I am learning this go round.. knowledge for future use.

[thnakd1]

Got back home this evening and was jonesing for a workout since I really didn't do anything the last two days.... So I got in a late Chest workout. The wife got in there with me for a bit but she wasn't feeling well so cut it short midway through. My shoulders were bothering me from having slept on a smaller bed with the wife all weekend and having to sleep on my side so the workout was shorter than usual...

Go for it dude... and if you can't lift the same weight just keep up on reps... and if you start to die a few early.. use rest/pause to eek out the final reps... I have to sometimes as well to do the reps I plan on doing!

Again, great advice. I wised up last night and did just that with the Incline BB Presses. I should have thought of it before.

So... this is the end of the Challenge...it has been a great journey! The results and pics are below.... so to shorten the wait...

SHOULDERS- 53" +2.0"

BODY FAT- Caliper- 6.75% -4.25%
BODY FAT- Scale- 20.2% +2.2%
WEIGHT- 186 +5 LBS

I think I will let the numbers in red above speak for themselves on the majority of the growth. It is awesome that I gained size while losing bodyfat. I did this without cardio, I just kept the intensity of my workouts up higher and controlled my carb intake to around the workouts themselves to fuel just the workouts and not any fat production. While I bulked up to 195, I leaned back down to 186 with losing very minimal size in the process! Honestly the part that I am most happy about is the calf growth. Once I got a good calf routine dialed in they grew 1" over the last 60 days. This is an area that has been the hardest for me to grow! Now the AFTER PICS!!!!

[thnakd1]

The last pic is totally relaxed and bad lighting to go with it...LOL

[melalicious]

Congratulations Dennis!!! You did an outstanding job...your training, nutrition, contribution to others in the challenge...not only here in the forum but also on FB. And your progress and final results after the 90 days is awesome!!! You worked hard, and the results show. Very well done!

[beefcake66]

Great work!! The measurements really do speak for themselves!!

You should put a comparable before pic next to some of your after pics so the lazy folks like me can more easily see how awesome you did!!

You're looking large and in charge though man! Really, great work!!

[browneyenessa]

The last pic is totally relaxed and bad lighting to go with it...LOL

Congradulations Dennis we finished yay.. Even thought I know we will still continue to Grind because it's in our blood..Tee hee.. You did awesome body looks tight!!

CONGRATULATIONS, DENNIS!!!
Man, the difference between the before and after are amazing my friend! Those killer workouts really worked well for you (I apologize for not replying on here last night, my phone kept kicking me out when I tried). I'm really proud for you and what you've accomplished. Thanks for all your support and I'm hoping we can continue to chat and log together for a long time! Congratulations again!
