gachase21 Muscletech CLEAR MUSCLE™ pre log

What I'm doing
I'm planning on using the recommended 12 week CLEAR MUSCLE™ training log, phase 1 of it, before I start utilizing clear muscle. After that I plan on starting the same 12 week program using the 12 week program from the beginning and staying on pretty much the same nutrition profile. Hopefully from this I can get a better picture of how effective clear muscle is for me. After I acquire and start using clear muscle I will start another log using it.

My current status
40 years old now still going strong. Did Tough mudder about 3 weeks ago (April 27th), 2nd one I've ever done. I was not as ready cardio and other training for this as I should have been this time. My body seem to have taken a toll. Post tough mudder I did a few workouts, however still have some lingering aches and pains. All the bruises are gone now. I plan on starting the 12 week training plan light and easy at first, getting my form check down and my body time to finish recovery.

Goal
Hopefully gain LBM and strength at the end using clear muscle

Diet
Currently at 2100 cals per day- I will loosely track my calories throughout the log
