This is after doing a 4-week Max.Growth Program by Stephen Adele' of iSatori. I started using their supps then, too. During that 4 weeks I gained 3 pounds and lost 1% body fat, ending at 9%.

I am really liking the fit body. I am proud to tan by the pool in my Speedo and walk along the beach. I don't have to "get ready" for the trip or the summer or the cruise. I'm fit ALL THE TIME.

Comparing front and back dbl bis.
I've got over 5 weeks before my comp, and another couple before the end of the MT contest. I'm hopeful about having the fat gone and the muscles and veins bulging.

This is quite an improvement over the stork legs I had before.

My waist is down to 32" but my chest has thickened. I actually am proud now to wear a tight-fitting tee shirt.

This has been hard work, dedication, and self discipline, but it's all been worth it. The old man is no longer a couch potato, but a senior-citizen version of THE HULK!

Out 7 weeks
Goal--get lean and "mean"
|
|
 |
Aug 8, 2009
164@12% 4 weeks out from ABA show. I'm not as lean as I need to be, so from here on in the cut becomes more drastic--decrease calories and add daily cardio.
|
|
 |
Aug 8, 2009
It was wishful thinking that I could get lean without cardio. You can see that I've regressed since the July pics
|
|
 |
Aug 8, 2009
Unless the next 2 weeks show some real change, I'll pass on the Sept. 5 show. I'm going to give it all I've got though--low-to-no carb (pretty tough with all the fruit trees ripening). I haven't eaten any grains/breads for 2 weeks already.
