Shredder Stack! Results Log

[RickO'shea]

so today Aug 24th 2009 was my first official day of workin out on Beastdrol & Katanadrol. I took three caps yesterday to see how the body would react to it, and try to eliminate any Placebo effect they might have on today's workout.

Now, I've never taken any product as serious or as potent as the forementioned super supps, but I have done two cycles of Epistane(Havok) It was kind of like the point of no return after downing the first caps yesterday. Kind of intense really. After several hours and feeling no sides my anxiety subsided. Several hours after the second dose I did start to get a pump. Nothin major just could feel the arms, and back gettin a little tight. I did get a little hot and blood pressure bumpy after the third dose but nothin to shake a stick at. I do believe it was the culprit behind some of the most intense and weird dreams I've ever had though

So here's what I did today as far as workout.
Took first dose at 8:30am
Hit gym at 9:15
Chest
Flat Barbell Bench.
135X12
185X12
205X8 This is where I started to get a decent pump, and strangely enough felt just confidently strong.
225X6 I know I know I'm a pussy. But,as i've stated before having super long monkey arms doesn't help on bench. Here's the thing. I am positive I could've Done 265 like 3 or 4 times. I just felt really strong today. I stopped cause I had a long workout aheadof me.

Today was such a awesome workout. I felt So Fulfilled. Didn't want to leave. I'm looking much harder and Veiny when I wake up too. I know most of that is the diet, but this morning It was noticable.

I really am looking forward to this...oh it's gonna be sick. I should have some video up by the end of the week as well on thoughts supps and workouts during this cycle.

Thanks again everyone

NEEDTO, THANK YOU!!!!

Today is just the third day I've been taking the Shredder Stack from needtobuildmuscle.com and I really want to thank Needto from the bottom of my heart(not gay) for the results so far. I know I know, it's only the third day Rick you cant be noticing that much. Look at this pic then compare it to the others posted at the beginning of the thread.
http://i31.tinypic.com/nlvls7.jpg

First thing. Hardness. So Today was a rough day. I ran out of foods....just a crap load of carbs to eat, and bad ones too. I didn't eat much about half what I should. I wasn't feeling well, I felt flat, and outta shape all day. I popped my before bed dosage about a hour ago. I happened to go the bathroom. I was thinking that how I felt would be how I looked. I really am blown away by how much harder and vascular I am in just three days. If you look at that pic you can see I got those veins comin up from the lower abs...about a month ago I had two (The two big ones) but what you couldn't see in the pic is like six new ones, and the one on the left goes almost up into my arm pit. I got a new set of veins on my right bicep with are gettin huge when working out that I've never had! I've even got one on the underside of my Tricep. I also am looking more lean and the striations are comin too! I had this post almost finished and put up like four hours ago but then it suddenly got erased...so I almost didn't put this up until I took that picture!!!

Here's what I did today (workout wise)

I got my Bodyfat % tested and my measurements taken. The official printout I'm waiting on via email...sorry..anyways I do have a question about this if someone could help me on it

I was calipered at 5 different spots, two of them sites used on women. The Tricep and the Illiac. I was also tested on the thigh, chest, and abdominals. Now with the five combined I tested at 14% which seemed really high. Do you guys think thats right lookin at the pic?.... If I went by just the three mens sites I came in at 9%. Can anybody tell me why the huge gap in % differential?

Workout
Back, Bi's, and Forearms (my favorite lifting day)
Back
Narrow Grip Pulldown
#10X10reps@3 sets I went with a fast positive phase and a six second negative phase. This method I really liked! I got a great stretch and awesome pump from the second set! I also used this method on virtually all the rest of the lifts
#16X12reps@1set I used the rest pause method for the last set as well on the rest of the excersizes. This one a 8X3X1 for 12

Wide Grip Pulldown
#10X10Reps@3sets
#16X12Reps@1set I usually never am able to do this much weight without momentum and straps!

Deadlift (now I usually leave this for the end of Back workout but I was afraid I was going to loose the station to someone and not get it back.
135X10reps@3 sets
225X10Reps@1set I felt awesome here so decided to keep it rollin!!!
275X8Reps@1set I was able to put this up relatively easy which is awesome cause my knee usually kaputs at this weight!

Dumbell Rows
50X10Reps@2sets Same positive and negative phase like on the narrow grip pulldowns
90X10Reps@2sets I haven't gone that high in a while

Bi's
Seated incline dumbell curl
30X10reps@3sets I usually start with 25's and work my wy up to 35's
45X10Reps@1set Never had a pump like that!!!!

Cable curls/Cable Hammer Curl
#3X8/#3X8reps@3 sets
#6X8/#6X8reps@1 set I stand corrected...this was the best bicep pump ever!!!

Preacher curl
45X10@3sets
75X10@1set This was surprisingly easy

Forearms
(That thing where you hang a weight from a pvc pipe and roll it up and down)
3 sets (Forearms burned and felt awesome)

well there you have it.
So far No sides other than funky ass dreams(that's a maybe too) hunger and serious hard veiny sex appeal. I had a guy today ask if I worked at the schools gym. My response was "No, Why?" "Cause you're FKN Ripped bro" was his answer.

Yep I was feelin good!!!

So again special thanks to you guys and your help (Sonic) big help there!!!
NEEDTO YOU DA MAN!!!!

Alrighty, So I Have switched Diets to maximize fat loss. It's Lyle McDonald's evil creation based of Dave Duchane's Ultimate Diet. Lyle's Ultimate Diet 2.0 Is made for atheletes looking to get into the mid single digit range. Which is what I am trying to do. For 4 days you are in a somewhat starving no carb carb depletion diet. On Monday and Tuesday you do a carb Depletion workout with lighter weights and more reps to further the depletion. Then you take wed. off, More diet thursday, then I higher weight weight full body workout that night to suck every last calorie out of your muscle. Then that night you start a carb load. Take friday off but keep the loading Then saturday you do a full body powerworkout low low reps as much weight as you can. I really like the way lyle writes everything out. I think it would be too advanced for the regular joe but a good read for all you mad scientists out there. My workout is below.

Monday
Full Body workout. 3 cycles at 65% of 1 rep max
Chest Press 3X15
Chest Fly 3X15
Wide Grip Pulldowns 3X15
Rows 3X15
Hamstring Curl 3X15
Calf Raise 3X15
Leg Press 3X15
Lateral Raise 2X15
Incline Bicep Curl 2X15
Tricep Pushdown 2X15

So you repeat the above cycle twice. There is only 1 min of rest between each set. Needless to say if Lactic acid isn't filling your body then Your form sucks or your not going heavy enough. I felt like puking after the first cycle. I got done with everything and I went pale. It was the hardest workout of my life....ugh...it sucked. Then I played Volleyball for two hours afterward. My super intense cardio. That Night I wrecked my motorcycle. random side note. So when your on this starve mode you kind of feel like shit needless to say. One thing I have to add though. So last night before going to bed I checked myself in the mirror. I HAVE NEVER SEEN MY ABS LOOK LIKE THAT!!!!! EVERYTHING WAS JUST POPPIN OUT. I COULD CLEARLY SEE EVERYTHING. THAT WHOLE GAP IN BETWEEN THE SIDE OF YOUR ABS THAT CIRCLE THING IT WAS FUCKIN AWESOME. NEW VEINS AND EVERYTHING!!!

[needtogetaas]

Great work man. Looking good.

[RickO'shea]

So today is day 3 of UD2. Yesterday was Pretty freakin gnarly! I did the exact same workout with the same diet as on monday, with the exception of six sets of abs thrown in. I also played two hours of volleyball again to get some good glycogen burning cardio in. I felt like I had a lot more energy yesterday then on monday as well. Today being wed, I look pretty damn good considering I'm only eating 1200 cals a day. I HAVE TO SAY IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BEAST COURSING MY SYSTEM 24 HOURS A DAY I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP ON THIS!!!! I mean no cals ya feel flat and week, but then you take your beast and Katana, and POW! you've fuckin killed everyone and everything at your gym with your power legs. I get the day off today which is great! Cause I'm damn sore...only thing that sucks is at least the workouts take your mind off of the starving periods you go through...I do however want to tell you guys that I'm lookin good. I feel like I'm up from 200 to around 206, but that's just a guess. I do know for a fact however I've lost fat cause I'm lookin even more than defined then a week and a half ago. I got some new veins in my right bicep which have never come in till now which I'm so stoked about. I also have a brand new vein in my Right lat that is huge, and it just popped outta nowhere....like a freakin daisy!!! I also think I'm going to start 300ml of Test E once a week for 12 weeks, Who knows maybe even throw in like 300ml of EQ too...I'm really enjoyin lookin like a freak and getting the looks too!!!

[IronCrusher]

Awesome bro. Keep working hard!

[RickO'shea]

Awesome bro. Keep working hard!

Thank you sir! I'm tryin man I'm really tryin. I just still can't believe I'm not even half way done with the cycle! It's friggin crazy how legit this shit is!!! I wish I could do two cycles right in a row cause I absolutely love this feeling! Nothin else like it in the world. Last Night I went to a volleyball game for our college, and no joke I had at least 10 people saying I was gettin Ripped, Huge, Shredded, or bigger. It felt awesome!

[SBT]

Best of luck to you on that UD2 diet. I've run it 2 times for dieting, and 1 time for gaining and had good results both times around. For the record though, when I was doing it dieting, my low day (no carb) day cals were still 1300 and I am a 135-140 lb female. So I wouldn't have started off your low (no carb) days at 1200. That is the ALL TIME low that Lyle says to NOT go below, and says primarily to save it for a female who has some stubborn fat to lose. So my advice would be to up them slightly, like maybe 1400-1500 on those days, especially since that will still put you at a deficit alone, then to add the 2 hours of volleyball on top of that makes it even greater. Just my two cents though, NICE JOB either way!!

Thanks for the advice! I upped it to 1500, I was pretty on point and was doing the workouts as hard as I could and extra cardio just in case, but my body was slowly packin on fat, I think I might be hypoglycemic or something cause as soon as I even looked at carbs here came the fat stores. I gave it four days, but I'm going back to the really good TKD diet I was on at the start of the log. I was seeing awesome results with that. "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

[RickO'shea]

Ok So I got all of that done in an Hour with a buddy working with me! I felt Soooooo damn good man!!!
2 mucho super important notes
#1 Guy working out with me is 6'6" and like 235. Very in shape Collegiate Athelete. I outworked and outlifted him on everylift, and it absolute foored him how heavy I could lift and keep the same amount of power throughout the whole workout. Hence he's purchased the Beast starter stack.
#2 THIS IS THE KICKER!!!! I started on this venture a three days shy of Two weeks ago. I started out at 202lbs and at 9% BF. I was thinking I was going to be around 206/208 somewhere around there. I went in to weigh myself for the first time since I started and when the tab pushed all the way to 216 I was fuckin Floored. Now I will say this, due to carb load and reduced water I will give a 4-6 pound leeway on fat and water. I do not look the least bit fatter though!!! I am more veiny and More defined then I ever have been so even at that lee way that Means I've Gained anywhere from 8-10lbs of pure muscle in less then two weeks. HOLY SHIT NEEDTO!!!! NO WONDER EVERYBODY KEEPS TALKING ABOUT ME LOOKIN BEASTY!!!! I got another two weeks to hit my weight goal and I'm pretty much there already!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SOOOOOO PUMPED MAN.

I am doing the video log#1 tonight and it should be up by sunday or monday so look for it on here!

Peace
Rick

Thanks for the advice! I upped it to 1500, I was pretty on point and was doing the workouts as hard as I could and extra cardio just in case, but my body was slowly packin on fat, I think I might be hypoglycemic or something cause as soon as I even looked at carbs here came the fat stores. I gave it four days, but I'm going back to the really good TKD diet I was on at the start of the log. I was seeing awesome results with that. "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

I think that's a good idea!! I mean the UD2 diet does work, but its just so specific that it can sometimes make it tough. Plus to me, I hated gaining so much water weight with the huge carb load (not to mention the swinging moods) that I always preferred a TKD type myself as well. Plus you said it just right, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

Keep it up!
