Cut Time - Team Stacking Plates W/ ChestRockwell

I been following it exactly. I'm finishing the first week. I think I need to increase my calories, because it's so demanding. It's a awesome routine.

I had to do the same thing on creeping death. After about 2-3 weeks i came to the conclusion that i wasnt recovering like i do normally. I increased my cals by about 1000-1500 PD on training days and felt much better.
 
Low dose?? Jesus, I'm super low dose compared to that, hahaha. Best of luck with the cut
How's that Myo-X working for you? Shocked to see not everyone and their mother is taking it if it reduces myostatin by "46% in 100%" of people.... Curious if you're still blasting away with it...?
 
Just remember brother what your going through other like my self have been there days you will wake up and fill flat as shit and the only pump you will get is in the gym. I know for me I say my body go through so many forms and looks you will not know what to think. And there are days that you will be lifting 10 to 15 pds and will swear it fills like a hundred and people will look at you funny but just remind your self that dam you look good and must be doing something right! Just reamber Every work out counts wether it high voulme or low. Or just forcing negatives. The pay off is worth it. Just some Brother to Brother advise during transition I went through.
Good luck brother and Remember you got this!!!!

I stopped using it because I did away with intra workout nutrition. I dialed in my preworkout nutrition and insulin better and just eat an hour preworkout now. Then again post workout. Did it help with gains? Maybe a little but you know it goes after so long at this game.

Yeah, I was always skeptical of it, never tried it... I don't think they even make the stuff anymore. The idea, as a whole, of blocking myostatin is appealing to me... But, I never felt that product was the WAY to do it...

Studies claim even creatine is a mild myostatin inhibitor , hahaha. After reading a lot more on the topic I think we have a long ways before any real mysostatin inhibitors hit the market

I agree with you on being a long way from having a true myostatin inhibitor. Would be great even if they truly had something that inhibited 40-50% of our myostatin.
 
Although it sounds great in concept, quite a few hormones shown to inhibit myostatin mRNA expression in skeletal muscle tissue don't directly lead to hypertrophy.

However certain trials have shown that myostatin inhibition causes hypertrophy by increasing MPS and satellite cell activation.

So, definitely a lot of inter-related and moving parts to consider here...
 
We're approaching the end of week 3, so, I wanted to update a few things...

Weight is slowly dwindling down, around 15 or so pounds down. It seems to be slowing a bit, I imagine a lot of it was water retention. I'm feeling pretty strong now, not as depleted as I felt the first week or so, which is a relief.

I'm still trying to move heavy-ish weight around with good form and intensity, but I'm finding that's taxing my system just TOO much... This Gauntlet program is tough for a cut... You really don't seem to recover before you blast a body part again, so I may change this in the coming days. I will most likely switch over to Meadows Onslaught program, as it only brutalizes one body part per week, not many.... His contest prep is also an option, I'll take a look at both.

Veins are popping out, which is nice.... A bit hard to see with the tattoos, which is kind of the price you pay... Thankfully, I'm not a competitor so i don't care TOO much about people seeing the definition.

No huge changes as far as drugs, we upped the test just a bit... I feel like it's helping with maintaining a bit of fullness, as I'm not running an AI... If i were pre contest, I'm sure we'd be looking at an AI. But, no E2 related issues to speak of, so I'm happy.

Had a vacation last week into this weekend, and then it was the 4th... So diet was a tad bit sloppier, but I tried to control myself :)....It's SO hard to eat clean when you're in unfamiliar territory.

I was going to ask you how's the routine going for you. I'm on the 3rd week as well, and I'm not dieting but I feel so depleted. I don't feel recovered as well. I actually look like I'm getting smaller.

Hmm, what does your diet look like? I have done this before, on a surplus, and felt totally fine and recovered.... It's the fact I'm dieting down that has effected my recovery... Plus, I sleep like shit with tren in my blood... So that recovery aspect is shittier too.

I'm at maintainance calories. I wanted to see if I can slightly tighten up , but I maybe it's just burning too many calories. When you ran it before,did you look full or depleted?
