Thought I’d throw out some progress notes. Was a rough last week, physically I just wasn’t "on" where I usually am, and intensity was suffering, so I took consecutive days off from training and made the 3rd day all cardio with treadmill/bike ride/tennis. Nice change of pace to recharge my batteries, had a very intense back/hamstring day Friday and an awesome bicep/tricep/ab day yesterday, resting today. Weight’s at an even 200 this morning. Really feeling the Recreate these last few days; tennis esp. was crazy, had to break out the headband to control the sweat in my eyes!
Yesterday was the 17-week out mark.  I’ve never started prep this far out before, but Ben (Scivation athlete) sure has made me reconsider my timing, dude looks incredible for 11.5 weeks out.  My previous preparation was always focused on doing it in the least amount of time possible..
The goal is still to compete in the 182-185 range; I mean I’ll go wherever the diet takes my body (obviously), but I’d like to think with this much time to prepare I’ll be able to hold more muscle than last time around. Quality mass has been added in the last 6 weeks, shoulders & traps are the biggest they’ve ever been, and legs are thick..
I am thoroughly enjoying the VasoCharge/Xtend combo, this is good stuff. Very impressed with the Core products as well; I plan on rotating the ABC/Xtend throughout prep. I created a concoction of 2 scoops Beverly MassMaker/1 scoop Core PWO for my after w/o shake (then some solid complex carbs 45 min. later), this is one tasty shake & the macro complex is PERFECT!
