Mitotropin log- before and after pics

[bambam]

Hi all

After reading some good reviews on gaspari Mitotropin and seeing the general interest everyone seems to have every time it appears in a topic i have decided to run a log. Have attempted to run a journal before but failed completely so will try harder with this one.

I am currently wanting to cut back my body fat to a manageable and more attractive level :roll: (plus i have a lady friend coming home in around the time i will finish the cut). Not looking to get shredded for a show (as i know this is no where near enough time) just looking to get down as much as i can.

I have been slowly easing into this cut over the last 3 weeks, 1st week added 3 days cardio, 2nd swapped out white rice for brown and lowered carbs. This week will further lower carbs and eliminate them from the last 2 meals of the day. Starting on monday i will be starting mitotropin and will follow the diet that comes with.

The diet basically consists on 50g protein in 6 meals (worked out based on your desired bodyweight) everyday and carb cycling

day 1 - 150g carbs

day 2 - 100g carb

day 3 - 50g carbs

day 4 - 50g carbs

Repeat.

Based on this i have worked out my meal plan - (i believe i my get slammed for the amount of shakes but its the only way i think i will stick to it)

150g carb day

8am - 2 scoop whey - 3/4 cup oats

1030- 2 scoop whey - 1/2 cup oats

1pm - 1 big can 1 small can chop chop- 2/3 cup brown rice

330pm- 8 egg whites, 1 scoop whey - 1/3 cup oats

630- 250g chicken breast - tomato, 1 cup green beans

2 scoop casein protein

100g carb day

8am - 2 scoop whey - 1/2cup oats

1030- 2 scoop whey - 1/3 cup oats

1pm - 1 big can 1 small can chop chop- 1/3 cup brown rice

330pm- 8 egg whites, 1 scoop whey - 1/2 cup brown rice

630- 250g chicken breast - 1 cup green beans

2 scoop casein protein

50g carb day

8am - 2 scoop whey - 1/3cup oats

1030- 2 scoop whey - 1/4 cup oats

1pm - 1 big can 1 small can chop chop- 1/4 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup

almonds

330pm- 8 egg whites, 1 scoop whey - 1/4 cup brown rice

630- 250g chicken breast

2 scoop casein protein

I wont be following the workout plan exactly (dont really like the thought of having to squeeze 3 body parts into a single workout). so will be doing

Monday - chest - abs

tuesday - bis - shoulders

Wednesday - Tris

Thursday - Legs

Friday - back - abs

Cardio -

Mondays and wednesdays

Fasted 30-40mins stationary bike

and 1.5 hours road ride on saturdays (ex cyclist )

Other supplements i will be taking-

Scivation Xtend during workouts and cardio and whenever i am starting to feel low.

Multi vit

fish oil

Current stats -

6ft tall

93kg

bf% unsure - anyone care to take an educated guess (once before photos are up)

I will post before photos later on today.

I like your approach of chipping away at the diet slowly.. instead of the one sweep at changing everything :nod:

Best of luck with this.. if you can do it with protein shakes, then more power to you 8)

[steak]

Im on day 9 of mitotropin and have seen results already. I probably have a lot more BF than you at 25% so i look forwrd to seein g your pics both before and after...Tip...dont by mistake chew a tab :puke: Im trying not oo lose too much muscle as well so am taking it slow...may do a few cycles.

Good luck and keep us posted

Cheers i figured it may be a good way to go as last time i tryed to do everything at once and my body didnt really agree with it.

Awesome thats what i like to hear, hope i get the same results, at a guess id say i am around 17% but probably not holding as much muscle mass as you big fella

[bambam]

As promised some picture :oops: , atleast there is plently of room for improvement right..

[steak]

and not as much fat to lose either bro...you'll come up good!

[bambam]

Hopefully i come up sweet, if i do i might take the little blue pills, tan up and get some good photos taken.

If you are taking little blue pills you should definitely come "up". :pfft:

[Pseudonym]

I suspect this is a silly question, but what are the little blue pills? Mitotropin? Or something more?

[bambam]

The ones in talking about are the peak conditioning factor pills (come with mitotropin) basically diuretics i think. Think the others are talking the piss and talking about somthing more on the illegal side.

[bambam]

I start the mitotropin and the diet mentioned on monday. Until then i will be following the 150g carb day mentioned as this is still quite a good drop in carbs from my norm and an up in protien.

8am - 2 scoop whey - 3/4 cup oats

1030- 2 scoop whey - 1/2 cup oats

1pm - 1 big can 1 small can chop chop- 2/3 cup brown rice

330pm- 8 egg whites, 1 scoop whey - 1/3 cup oats

630- 250g chicken breast - tomato, 1 cup green beans

2 scoop casein protein

yesterday was chest- feeling alittle low in energy but that is expected with the drop in carbs, strength was ok. i am going to try some high rep work during this cut just to mix things up as i have been working heavy for the last few months.

incline chest db

20- 27.5kg

15- 33.5kg

12- 38kg

Workout came in just under an hour again - all in all energy levels were actually ok.. alittle beter than yesterday

Diet was the same other than 300g steak in the place of chicken breast

weighed myself at the gym today and came in at 91kg - thats 2 kg lighter than a week ago... must be water weight which would make sense.

[bambam]

Diet the same as yesterday apart from 250g steak at 3pm feed in place of shake ( cooked a whole tray yesterday)

[steak]

Im not sure if cadio fasted is the way to go mate...I was reading...and I'll try to find it again...that its more muscle wasting than fat burning and it is an old myth. I know it sort of makes sense to burn the fuel thats lying around rather than run on the newly filled tank so to speak but just check....steak scurries off to interwebby history folder to look...others may be able to correct me or confirm ...just something tinkling around in my empty space above neck

this your 3rd or 4th day on mito...?

I have had differing opinions for people, the mito diet advocates it and im am planing on following that as closely as i can. Only doing 3 days cardio a week and only 2 of which are fasted so maybe itl be ok. I am drinking xtend (high in BCAAs and glutimine) during cardio so i am hoping this will stop me going too catobolic

havnt started the mito yet.. i wanted to progresivly get into cutting carbs in my diet and starting cardio before getting full into the mito. first day is monday

[bambam]

Today was legs

Really noticed a lack in energy today

Usually would spend closer to an hour on legs but was run short on time so had to squeeze it into 40mins.

Started

Lying leg curls

Squats -

20 - 60kg

15- 90kg

12 - 100kg

8- 100kg - strip set and got 6 more reps out

:oops: pathetic really but il blame it on the lower carbs for now. Also i always notice my strength decline in my legs when i start riding again.

Leg Press single leg - chose a light weight 4 plate either side and just repped out each leg 6 sets from leg to leg until they were rooted.

calf raise on leg press (single leg)- seen as i already had the leg press set up i repeated the process for calfs - repped them out 6 sets swapping between each leg until they were pumped and hurting.

standing calf raise- full stack dc style (12 full reps then finish with partial reps top quarter of the movement to failure)

3 sets

Time up

Diet unchanged from yesterday apart from broccoli added in at dinner.

Fresh tub of xtend arrived today - refreshing apple- tastes amazing ! highly recommend. Hopefully this will help with the energy levels while workingout.

I hope the appetite suppressing in the mitotropin is as good as they say it is, i am one hungry mo fo at the moment!

[bambam]

So yesterday was back (pathetic workout not worth mentioning)

Wide grip lat pull downs

4 sets

narrow grip lat pull downs

4 sets

seated rows

4 sets

standing rope rows

5 sets

shrugs db (alternating between front and side)

6 sets

Weather wasnt the best for a ride today so put my bike on the stationary trainer and did 45min fasted cardio

- Got my bodyfat tested today so i have an accurate comparison for after the mito, have lowered my carbs the last few weeks so have dropped abit of water so it shouldnt be a factor in the test

results are in - 16.5% bf

around what i expected

[bambam]

Have been really busy the last few days so havnt been able to post, just a quick update.

Started the mitotropin monday, so far so good deffinatly feel the energy kick in the morning before cardio and loving the second kick around 2 in the afternoon to get me through, Also havnt been feeling as hungry... time will tell though, early days.

Workouts have been much as same as last weeks. intentionally dropped the wieght slightly to hit higher reps.

into the mito diet now and heading into 2 really low carb days in a row so this should be interesting :pray:

u take any b4 photos to compare with 30day end result?
