    Default M-Rods, A Day in the life..........

    Welcome to the

    M-RODS NEEDTOBUILDMUSCLE.COM TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE

    I’ve noticed that since Need2’s site has been here it has gotten a lot of flack about being Spam and hasn’t been given a fair shot.

    When Dave and John started this site, they said just because a supplement company has a checkbook doesn’t mean they get a spot here. The shit has to be able to back it up!! Do you see any Muscle-tech ads around here…nope neither do I.

    So I plan to do what a lot of us should try. I’m going to try to prove somebody to be right rather than spend my time proving them wrong.

    I am going to try the “advanced stack” There’s no sense fuckin around. The specs are in this thread.

    http://forums.rxmuscle.com/showthread.php?t=9334

    I hope they arrive in around a week; the bars took around that to get up here in Canada.

    My plan:

    Follow the protocol for the 16-week stack

    Weeks 1-6 use Dave’s Mass eating plan
    Weeks 6-12 use Dave’s Keto diet
    Weeks 12-16 unsure yet


    More to come, later today I’ll post my stats and pics, I’m going to start the diet tomorrow, to hit the ground running. There will be daily reports on training, diet, effects from the supplements, I’m even thinking of some video updates from home and the gym

    Stay Tuned!!!

    This is awesome bro.

    I will also be running a log with pictures in a few weeks when I start my stack.


    Thanks for doing this. We already have many logs and threads of awesome positive feedback on sites elsewhere.

    No prob man, Big thanks to Need2 for helping with this. Posting as much as I can will not only help track my progress, but cause me to train harder and be accountable

    agree about the pic saying bro. The way I always see it is the camera never lies. Your friends are lying, your girlfreinds lying, but the camera can't lie. You look pretty good though.

    That's the big one. Once it is out there for everyone to see, you HAVE to work hard. It's a mental push that is advantageous only to you.



    I'm confident you will be happy with the products as well.

    Day 1 " The Pre-Supp week"

    This week I'm getting my eating and training in order prior to the stack arriving. This way I can do more of an apple to apple comparison.

    I have just finished about 2 months of Keto and had some good results. I was able to get 5 inches off my waist. Yes I had let my waist get up to 49 inches.

    Daves off season diet is alot more food than i've been eating. Today was a challenge to get it all in. Hopefully I'll nail it down by weeks end.

    MEAL 1: 55g Whey Protein** with 50g Waxy Maize

    Training

    MEAL 2: 55g Whey Protein** with 50g Waxy Maize

    MEAL 3: 8oz (cooked) of Pork Loin chop, ½ cup cashew nuts, 1 cup (cooked) RICE (brown)

    MEAL 4: 8oz (cooked) of Extra lean ground beef, 1 cup (cooked) RICE (brown), 2 tbs olive oil

    MEAL 5: Needtobuildmuscle protein bar

    MEAL 6: 5 Whole eggs

    I have meals 5 and 6 with me to eat later


    Today's Training--BACK

    Hammer High Row 90x12, 160x10, 180x10, 200x8
    Wide Lat Pulldowns 105x10, 120x10, 135x10, 150x7
    Narrow Grip Pulldowns 120x8, 135x7, 150x6, 150x6
    Hyperextentions BWx10, BWx10, BWx10 BWx10

    Felt pretty good, I need to get some straps to try to keep my forearms less involved, may back felt like I had some left, but my arms were done.


    Tomorrow is Chest and Shoulders!!!!!

    Good luck Mike.

    Soxfan is right about the hat except that a Mets hat would be appropriate.
