Tom Blackman Show Prep for UKBFF Gravesend 24th August 2008

FAT BOY

hello m8 well you might not update for a while but when you do its a long one lol .
what dosages do you recomend when using clen tom ?

TinyTom

I only really go up to 120mcg a day mate (6 tabs)

I have only used 60mcg up till now

MESOMORPH

I may well try some clen this year. Last time I used it was in 2004. Just makes me feel really jittery which I dont like as I'm always calm and relaxed...Grrrrrrr.
I think the max I went up to was 6 a day too, IMO no need to go any higher than that.

In fact it has been proved that a combo of clen and t3 is THE fat burning stack. Anything that allows me to eat chips I'll use!!

On a serious note, I too have changed my training and am doing more volume. As much as lifting heavy is good, there is nothing like volume training when dieting to utilise as many cals as poss. Plus at the moment when cals are high I seem to grow much better, have fewer if any niggles and feel less overtrained, so all in all a good option Tom.

its been shown that the "jitteryness" with clen is something the body gets used to.... most people take clen 2 weeks on/2 weeks off as its said that your bodys receptors downregulate (or get blocked up by - as us simpletons like to say) from the clen so after 2 weeks its not effective... whereas as far as im aware your body simply gets used to the side effects so you think its not working - but the fat burning part still happens...

its quite easy to prove in my opinion too... take 3 tabs a day for 2 weeks... by this time the shakes and jitteryness should be much much less.... then take 4 or 5 tabs... the shakes should return - so how can the receptors be totally downregulated??? ive also read charles glass giving much the same advice to but cant remember where!

I have read the same Lee and that a more effective cycle would be 6 weeks on 2 off.

Never used it though so couldn't pass comment personally

Hi guys

sorry not updated for a while as my PC died last week. I bought a laptop with Vista and only just worked out how to use it properly

I had a higher carb day yesterday and it really made a difference.

On Tuesday my training was poo as I was so depleted I could hardly concentrate so wednesday was quite welcome.

I had my normal daily food but added in some more carbs and fruit sugars for fast absorption

day went like this

6am - Glutamine, effy, LeanR, Green Tea

6.45 - 40 minutes cardio

8.00 - 100g oats, 10g Lecithin, 15g Peanut butter, 500ml Tropicana OJ, 50g Protein

11.00 - 270g Chicken, 100g Brown Basmati Rice

1.00 - 50g Protein

3.00 - Same as 11am

5.30 - Same as 8am

8.00 - 6 egg whites, 3 yolks, 2 plain bagels, 5g Organic Jam, 500ml OJ

I havent put the macros into my diet spreadsheet yet but I estimate that at 400g carbs.

When I got up this morning I was really full and dry and this got better through the day and I looked AWESOME when training, very full and tight, plus I had some real energy and even managed 5 reps with the 60kg DBs on chest press

I uploaded some vidoes tonight from training so have alook and see what you think.

Negative Chest Press

Incline Chest Flye

I weighed 92.8kg today

Sorry not updated for a few days as I had some trouble accessing the site from my new laptop. This is now fixed.

Diet has been the same these last 2 days, I trained Back yesterday and Shoudlers today.

I was holding a lot of water from the weekend but as predicted the water fell off overnight and I looked very dry and more conditioned while training.

I will take some more videos on Thursday as I am training hamstrings and calfs, will be nice to see 30 rep sets on calf raise in motion.

Tomorrow I will be having a medium carb day so will be increasing to 400g. I wont train tomorrow evening as I will be having a rest to allow the carbs to be taken up by the body and help me recover. Im also taking a delivery of a kg weight of coke/effy/clen mix for my date with James on Friday so when he remarks how much of a training animal I am I can just say 'yeah this is just normal when your HARDCORE like me'

I've reintroduced Clen last week and this week for 2 weeks as per my cycle.

Gear wise Im using

400mg Prop
400mg NPP

4iu GH in divided doses.

I will be increasing next week by adding in Tren Hex for an additional androgen kick.

Oh when I say 'I am using' I really mean my mate who looks like me. Hypothetically speaking.

I also have a small crisis to deal with tomorrow as I will run out of Heroes episodes for cardioso I may have to go shopping.

I have been working on a new business venture these last few months which looks like its going to get under way in the next few weeks so Im quite excited about that. I'm also close to finishing my hypnosis course and so have to complete the final bits of coursework in the next 6 weeks to qualify.

I dont know why I take on extra stuff when I diet but at least it keeps my mind off the diet

TinyTom

I had a medium carb day wednesday same as last week and was fuller and drier today when training. The wieght is startting to shift well now and I am pleased with how things are going. I did 1 video yesterday in the gym but cant load up till tonight however I will be taking some vids of me and The Beast Llewellin tonight so I will load them all up later when Ive got more time.

Im off to London on Saturday to see Harold so Im preparing myself for a firm critique of my progress and assessment of the diet so far. Thankfully I am not training with Harold as the last thing Ive got this week is quads and I do fancy walking next week so thats a blessing.

I am 92.2kg so progressing well I think, I'll get some detailed vids and stuff done tomorrow so that you can give me your assessment. One thing I am especially pleased with is that my back is coming in faster than before which was always my problem.

right time for an update

On the weekend I trained with James L and once again the gloves were off for a workout of gargantuan proportions.

Well as big as you can get with two dwarves anyway.

We did the swiss ball flyes on cables like in my video and also the negative bench press machine exercise. I felt completely violated in the chest region the next day and Im sure James did too.

I must also say that he is looking FCUKING HUGE at the moment.

On saturday I travelled down to Crawley and Forest GYm to see Harold. The feedback was good and we amended the diet to drop down to 150g of carbs on low days and upped the fats to 80g. Protein stayed at 360g.

This week I have upped my cardio intensity. This is something I do gradually over the diet to improve my fitness level but also to add more work to the cardio as the body can become used to it after a while and become better at doing it while burning less calories as it finds the course of least resistance.

wieght has stayed the same all week although I was 91.4kg today which is the lowest Ive been.

I'm at my hypnosis course tomorrow so I've made up some flapjacks for the day these are basic high carb affairs.

300g Oats
Raspberries
Strawberries
30g Peanut Butter
20g Lecithin
Mixed Spice
Splenda.

Easy to make just add some water mix up and plonk in the oven for 45 minutes.

I have had great results in the past using these flapjacks to carb up with so Im returning to old roots. I dont really go in for Vitargo and Whey on refeed days as I like to EAT.

I also have my normal chicken and rice but 200g of rice over 2 meals.

My cheat meal will be a spag bol which I will have before work.

From next week I will be updating more often, I havent really felt the need for updating as often in the past few weeks because things have just plodded along but now in the final 6 weeks it will get interesting and more changes will be seen from day to day.

I also have a small announcement of my own on a business level.

Over the last few months I have been building a business plan for opening my own gym in Bristol. This wont be a small hardcore gym but more of a larger affair equipped with studio and the like.

Up until now its been a bit of a dream of mine to open my own gym and in the last few weeks I've combined forces with a good friend of mine in the industry to put the cash together for the business.

This has now been finalised in the last few days so I can now start realising my dream.

More on that when I have more news myself, hopefully you can appreciate why I have not been around much to update and answer PMs etc. I now have the joyous task of the planning change of use So that will be fun especially when dieting.
