Short1's Road to the USA's. The "Quest to get my bum lean" thread.

I don't think you look fatter, you look fuller. As Shadow wrote, it's mostly water along with a small amount of padding.

Think of it like a deload in your training. Just as it's not healthy to train 'all-out' all of the time, it's not healthy to remain in competition state.

You know all this, anyway. I'm just posting to say that your bum doesn't look fat in that underwear.

Its not fat - its just your body coming to grips w/ the stresses its been through. It seems like that's the body's way of dealing w/ anything - OMG! CRISIS! QUICK! HOLD WATER! *big sucking sound*

TSO....you look fuller but you still look great....those undies really do it for me!

veeeery interesting. Our Shadow knows his stuff:

A least two prominent considerations come to mind. First, and of obvious import; the more lean mass retained during the dieting period, the more potential for reductions (albeit subtle) in the experience of integrated hyperphagia. It would seem that a strong focus on time under tension (TUT) should be a core component of both the pre and post competition periods. Second, cardio should be maintained or even increased during the post-competition period to both compensate for involuntary bingeing as well as to perhaps inhibit the metabolic component that appears designed to facilitate fat storage (a more detailed discussion will be presented in a separate paper). Finally, an immediate change in training protocol is advised, as this will ‘freshen’ up the routine and prevent needless iterations of mental fatigue of having to perform the same routine - which can lead to an avoidance of the gym (isolation) and subsequent bingeing as discussed above.

Yeppers......Exactly.

Thank the Lord somone else is mentioning TUT these days....I was feeling a bit like John The Baptist

Thermogenic supplementation, such as the EC(A) stack (and others) should be continued, possibly increased during this phase (consider 40mg ephedrine/day rather than 20mg). The reasoning is the same mentioned above in regards to cardio - the potential to short-circuit the metabolic component favoring fat storage in spite of increased DIT. Of course, abuse of any thermogenic during the dieting phase will reduce any gains one might make by increasing the dosage during the post-competition phase. That said much of the diet phase can proceed without the use of thermogenic aids, simply by maintaining a modest caloric deficit; restricting intake and increased energy expenditure.

Yep....I would not go with 40.....go with 20 but more often.....think blood consistency levels.







I have an alternative approach to/with lower clen this time




For the record...I HATE it...BUT - its most usually necessary

clen

For the record...I HATE it...BUT - its most usually necessary

I know it's a necessary evil. While I was taking it, I got all kinds of PM's asking me about this "wonder drug" lol. This is why I went public about my hate for it.

So - for all those lurkers out there (you know who you are) - clen is teh suck.
