Your Vegas Diet and Work Out Plan aka "GTL" Thread

[boykster]

I've never been a vitamin or supplement type of person other than an occasional multi-V and glucosamine lately for my joints. But I've decided to try some supplements to help shed some of the extra lbs.

Here's my stack for the next 4 weeks to try to shed some fat before Cabo. Here's my regiment:

Morning - 30mins before breakfast
- Multi Vitamin Opti-Men
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) - NOW Foods CLA
- USPLabs Recreate - lower stim version of OxyElitePro
- USPLabs Compound 20 - leaning and hardening supplement

Afternoon
- Another dose of Compound20 mid-afternoon with a snack

Pre-workout
- 30mins prior - Jack3D 2 scoops
- 15mins prior - USPLabs Modern BCAA - drink some before workout and sip during workout. Finish after workout (20oz total of water + 2scoops)

Post-workout
- Finish BCAA (above)
- P90X recovery drink (2 scoops)

Before Bed
- Another dose of CLA
- Omega-3 NOW Foods Omega-3

Keeping the diet pretty much the same - 50% protein / 25% carb / 25% fat. I'm only going to do this cut stack for 4 weeks - the 4 week intense workout phase III of P90X, I'll stop it and drop to just the mult-vitamin once I hit that final recovery week. I even took a PhaseIII 'before' pic, measured % bodyfat, and weighed myself so I have an idea of the overall effectiveness. Won't be able to tag improvement to the supplements, but overall who cares

That's why you should pick 1 time of day and ONLY ever weigh yourself then. Do the same rituals, and be in the same condition. I weigh in the mornings before I shower but after clearing out everything else. I've been bad lately and weighing nearly every day which is another bad idea - best to weigh once or twice a week max if your focus is on overall weight loss (fat). Your body will fluctuation by several pounds during a single day due to food consumption, water intake, water retention, etc.

I think my scale is FUBAR. I weigh in the AM, it says I am at 205#, I weigh at night it says I'm 202#. I go to bed and weight the next morning and it says I am 212#. By that evening I'm back down to 202? WTF?

Did you eat a bag of salt before bed?

I'd post a before pic, but you can't really make anything out through my chest fur.

Just picture a pasty old white dude with an Ewok strapped to his midsection.

I'm due to take a 60day pic - not sure I'll post it here though Like i said, I didn't take any 'before' pics this time, but I do have my day1 and day30 pics from when I did the program in 2010, and I was pretty close to the same then as I was when I started this time around.

[gubuju]

ill take one and post one this weekend -.-

[boykster]

lol.....I think Ive given up.

You just need some inspiration. I shall take a picture of myself with no shirt on and post it here. That will motivate you to never allow yourself to look like that lol.

I can easily compete in the "who has the best before pic" contest lol

Lets not even consider starting that

I totally spaced and didn't take any before pics - none of the super unflattering shirt off ones at least. I got lots of just normal shots of me showing off my soft shape
