Operation : Body Iraq

Well, it has been about 5 months of working out and a month left until leave and I believe I have made some great progress!  Specially in this last month.  Looking at my May progress pic and then the one I took this month I saw some huge changes!!  Changes I am very happy with!  I hope to continue to make gains in lowering fat so that I can go home on leave in the best condition of my life!  I am down to 32" on my waist, according to Army standards that gives me a 14% BFP.  I don’t trust the Army system as I believe it to be severely flawed so…  I know my BF is much lower than before I started lifting I can attest to that much lol.  I also have a pretty good little following going now lol…  Every time I hit the gym I have at least 2 people who want to go with me.  Definately throws a wrench in my engine but I adjust with supersets and drop sets to ensure the pump is heavy and lasting through the rotation of people!!!  The past few workouts have been pretty intense just because of the adjustments to make sure nobody is just sitting around.  I just want ot say I love this stuff lol.  Working out is definately one of my favorite things to do and I hope it remains that way for, well… ever!  Maybe someday I’ll be the next Lee Priest?!!? HAHAHA.

Its been awhile since my last post, and it seems the thing which I feared would happen has…  My gains have slowed.  I admit my motivation has taken a bit of a hit, but since I have been preparing for this it isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  Just means the real work is about to begin!

I am still preparing to go on leave, but I admit the diet isn’t goin so hot.  I started taking Lipo 6, in hopes it would help me lose the little bit of fat I have around my stomach area and are not seeing any gains in that department…  My waist has sat at 33" for a few months now.

I think after leave I may start taking creatine and a natural test booster, I know N.O. Xplode has a little bit of creatine in it, but its not a dedicated product, plus I need to lay off of it for awhile because its not working the same for me.  Cycle it out for awhile and see if it comes back strong lol.

Any advice on supplementation (post leave, when I will be hitting the gym with a madness lol) would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just have to stay motivated, stay pumped and keep working!
