GarlicChicken Back to the Grind

Today's update

Weight: 194.0 (+0.1lb)

Gained some size and list more fat this week. Weight basically the same, but it's a noticable difference.

Posting comparison to starting with Monte to today. Thats three weeks difference...

Fats coming off nicely in all areas. Keep it up bro.

Nice workout right there. How are you feeling? Are you progressing as you had hoped?


big changes already and you’re just getting started.

Yeah it's going good! Feeling good, the shoulder sucks but it's just a temporary setback. I've dropped a lot around the waist, even over the last 2 weeks where I didn't lose much weight but I'm still losing fat. I can tell by my pants waists and my belt lol

Way to go GC. Diet, workout, and gainz are legit man. Any changes in peds ? I'm doing almost the same deal as you, but more gear n less work ethic. Haha. I'm in late but subbed. Keep it up !

Thanks man! The only change in PEDs is the added 50mg mast 3x weekly. That's not enough to do much of anything physique wise, but it's made me feel significantly better. So gear is just 300mg ATIPP/150mg mast p weekly, and the 2iu GH daily with 50mcg t4 in the morning to keep my thyroid levels in range.

Shirts getting tighter around the shoulders/chest/arms and pants looser around the waist. All good!

Just realized I forgot to post yesterday's workout in here too! Work getting a little ridiculous lately as our busy season starts ramping up. Pretty good session, still pulling presses so the shoulder can heal up. Diet is still 100% on target, no cheating or skipping anything!

Lol they're a hang and swing destroyer set, so it's a partial with controlled negative. They're brutal! I'll see if I can find a Meadow's video of them

You really have kept you diet clean. Coming off your back fast. It seems like your going for a recomp more than anything, and it's working man

Thanks man. Yeah only one free meal so far which was just some watermelon and cantaloupe lol. The cardio this week is really starting to strip it off, per the waist in my pants and the veins in my forearms and shoulders lol. Haven't jumped on the scale yet so we'll see on Saturday

Nothing exciting to report today, just 25 minutes of cardio in the pool. Seems like the day is coming off pretty good this week so I'm looking forward to check in Saturday!

Here's Wednesday and today's workouts. Had an off day Wednesday, was just tired from increased cardio and not enough sleep from working a lot this week. Today was pretty good, still fatigued and didn't really gain any overload after backing off the weight from the shoulder, but got a solid session in!

10 pounds dropped in about four weeks, not bad at all. Do you have a specific goal/ target weight in mind?

Nah, just leaning out for our wedding, then add some size. Rinse and repeat for most likely a long ass time. I plan on working with Monte for a long time. Keeps me on the straight and narrow!

When's the wedding? This covid fiasco must be throwing a wrench into your plans if you're planning a gathering. My cousin had to put off her wedding until an unknown date, but then again, there are over 200 guests involved. Damn virus.
