do you mind telling us how much money you spent on food weekly or monthly?

 

[Makavelli]

so you ate your first meal before or after your morning workout?

I ate my first meal an hour and a half before I trained. Then I have my post workout meal. I'm not sure how much I spent per week. Maybe $50-75. That's just a guess though. Remember that I live in Orange County, CA. Things are more expensive here compared with the rest of the country.

Great work Sir

looking awsome

thats a hell of a lot of gear. 3g a week vitually. really you should be 198 shredded at about 5`7 not at 6`.

It's a lot, but if he didnt have the eq in there, it would look a lot like what most people run on these boards (dosage wise). And eq pretty much needs to be run close to 1g/wk to get the most out of it. So that's gonna push your totals up.

Plus, people respond differently to gear. Some people need to use more than others.

Way to go Mak! You look great.

I think the main point people should be getting out of these kinds of threads is the ability to manipulate your diet/AAS usage/training to best accomodate your body and goals. TRIAL and ERROR is how you conquer your goals and become successful. If you do not understand your own body, you will never get optimal results.

Mak has found what works best for his body to a T. If others took the time to experiment on themselves, and not expect people to hold their hand every step of the way, they would be surprised to see what they would actually gain (and/or lose). You can follow other peoples advise as a backbone sometimes, but taillor it to best fit your own goals.

Again, great job Mak.

Here's my cycle and diet that I used for my photo shoot. I can't post it in the original thread due to board rules. It's in the gallery. Here's the link to it: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451418

My cycle was as follows:

My cycle for this shoot was:

Weeks 1-9: duo test from UG Vet(prop and cyp blend) 750 mgs/wk

Weeks 1-9: EQ 1 G/wk

Weeks 2-7: Tren 470 mgs/wk, Weeks 8-9: Tren 700 mgs/wk

Weeks 2-5: Winstrol 470 mgs/wk, Weeks 6-9: Winstrol 700 mgs/wk

Weeks 5-7: Proviron 50 mgs/day, Weeks 8-9: 100 mgs/day

Weeks 1-7: Clen 140 mcgs/day

Weeks 1-9: T3 ramped up to 75 mcgs/day

Weeks 1-9: Arimidex 2 mgs/day

Weeks 1-9: Nolvadex 25 mgs/day

I'm going to post the diet that I started off with. Keep in mind that my diet changes as I go along. The body is dynamic and so the diet must follow.

Training days:

Meal 1-3/4 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 50 g of whey
Train and cardio
Meal 2-1/2 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 30 g of dextrose, 50 g of whey, 20 g of creatine, 600 mgs ALA. (You can replace the oatmeal and dextrose for 2 packs of sugar oatmeal, but I had a lot of dextrose that I got for free so I used that instead)
Meal 3-8 oz. chicken, 4 oz. yam, 1 T. natural peanut butter
Meal 4-Same as 3
Meal 5-8 oz. eye of round, 2 T. natural peanut butter
Second session of cardio...
Meal 6-8 oz. eye of round, 25 g of whey, 1 T. Flax oil, brocoli

Off Days:
Cardio
Meal 1-1/2 C. old fashioned oatmeal, 50 g of whey, 1 T. Flax oil
Meal 2-8 oz. chicken, 4 oz. yam, 1 T. natural peanut butter
Meal 3-Same as 2
Meal 4-Same as 2
Meal 5-8 oz. eye of round, 25 g of whey, 1 T. flax oil, brocoli
Second session of cardio
Meal 6-Same as 5

As time went along I dropped my carbs down until the only carbs I had were pre and post training. My calories were 2800. I don't have the exact figures in front of me, but I believe my protein was 325 grams, carbs about 170 grams, and fat was 63 grams for training days.

For non training the calories were the same as was protein, but the carbs were 120 grams, and fat was 79 grams.

That's the basic plan brothas! Enjoy! Keep in mind that diets have to be tailored to the individual. Just because this worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you. That's my disclaimer...

Cardio twice a days sucks glad to see it is not just me that has to do it.

Cardio twice a days sucks glad to see it is not just me that has to do it.

Yeah. The worst part about dieting for a show or shoot is cardio. I consider myself a pro at dieting. I have no problem eating the same foods day and day out. I can't crabby sometimes of course, but for the most part I'm aiiighht! Cardio on the other hand drains the shit out of me. I feel like a zombie when I finish my second session.

QT, you'll find that the majority of top bodybuilders and figure competitors do cardio twice a day during contest prep.
