OFFICIAL ENTRY : baseFrenzyy
I’m currently in the natural category
http://supplementreviews.com/forum/index.php?topic=17099.0I started out this transformation competition with a cut process. After my cut, I then get on a bulking diet and finally a cut to finish off the competition. My motivation was from the other dedicated SR members that is in the competition also. Other than that, I started following other logs outside of the competition. Those logs definitely drag my butt to the gym every day.
I started out the competition with a CKD diet. It was hard to do a carb deficit diet as I’m feeling like I’m losing my energy on the first week. It started to get easier from the second week onwards. After I finish my cut, I decided to add carbs into my diet to start my bulking cycle. Lastly, I get on a high fat diet to finish off the competition with my second cut cycle.
Halfway through the competition, I sprained my ankle and I pull a muscle on my right hip. I wasn’t able to do squats and dead lift for a few months. It definitely stalled my progress by a lot.
I didn’t make any major change on my supplementation area. The most drastic change I have is on the PWO which varies from my homemade PWO, craze, and animal rage etc. Towards the end of the competition, I was offered an opportunity from lecheek to log one of their many amazing products which is AD-3 PCT. It definitely helped out on my sleeping schedule and I lean out quite a lot.
Things that I’ve learn
1) Carbs is good for you. ONLY if you know how to incorporate it properly.
2) Rest is very important. Don’t be a hulk and train every day.
3) Legs are by far the most important part to train.
4) Dead lift and squats are your best friends.
5) Don’t train while you are injured as it will affect your progress even more later on.
If I could go back to January and start this competition over, I would include carbs into my diet. Besides that, I wouldn’t cheat as much on my diet as I did. This would be so much better if my diet was perfect, which is a hard thing to do. Overall, I’m happy with my results as I have gain a lot of knowledge that only can be learn from self-experience.
