Progress is slowing down but not halted (yet).
Progress has continued through the second stage of the diet, helped partly by a change in the training program.
After the first 8 days I’ve made a few small adjustments to the original plan, but nothing major. Overall I’m pleased with the progress and I think I will be happy with the end result.
The following is a breakdown of a 32-day protocol I am using to drop my bodyfat by about half to get lean for summer. While I hate the work involved in a diet, I also would rather get it over with.
I hear questions every day about “getting big,” “swole,” “large,” “jacked” and my answer to them are usually: “So what do you want to do?” And their typical answer is to repeat what they said as if I didn’t fully comprehend. When this happens I know that they are not generally prepared for my next answer: “Getting big is not just about lifting weights and it’s not a quick fix.”
I’ve gotten a few inquiries from some of our clients as to what supplements I actually take myself, since I’m the facility Biosignature practitioner and am responsible for designing protocols for all of our clients.
