Thank you sir, that means a lot. The keto lifestyle isn’t for everyone, but I can make it work pretty well. I’m in the stages now that I have insane energy, mental clarity, and fullness starting to come back. You lose a lot of fullness and seem flat when you adapt to a keto diet, but the longer you are on the diet, the fullness comes back. Not to the extent of being over loaded with carbs, but the thickness and fullness will come back. Most guys will only run keto for a few weeks at the end of a cut and pre contest. Works wonders. my workout style is pretty old school stuff. It just works for me. Heavy weights and the basic movements. I’m not one of those guys that follow all the “new trends” with variations of everything. I just like the basics. Throw the weight around and grow lol. Sometimes I think guys over complicate things. I hope you noticed some of that in my exercise routines, basically all the same movements. I’m a pretty high intensity guy, and can blow through 4-6 exercises with 3-4 sets each with drop sets and clusters and stuff and be in and out within 45min to and hour and a quarter. i really need to do a lot of past failures and negatives once I start my next cycle to really stimulate some growth. thanks for following along!

Put a run to the bum. BT has always been one of the easiest labs to deal with and to work with you.

Been slacking on the updates; Diet: Not much change Meal 1: 2 servings whey w/15g raw chia seeds, 2 EFA, Multi V, 5000IU VD Meal 2: 200-300g veg, 2 servings whey w/15g raw chia seeds, 2 EFA, 100g meat (random) and sometimes 100-200g rice depending on how I'm feeling (my lunches are provided at work) Meal 3: 100-150g chicken breast, 1 whole wheat wrap, mustard (plain yellow), some kind of green leady stuff, diet coke fiber+ Meal 4: 100-150g chicken breast, 1 whole wheat wrap, mustard (plain yellow), some kind of green leafy stuff, diet sprite fiber+ Pre-Workout: 1 serving ANS Prophecy Post-Workout: 1.5 servings whey Meal 5: 150-200g veg, 100-150g meat (random), 100-150g rice (optional) I do want to up my fiber intake so I just ordered a jug of inulin. I figure an additional 10-15g of fiber should do it. Meal 4, on leg days I have gone to 2 wraps as well as always eating the rice at lunch. Training: Still running a push/pull/legs split with runs in the PM (a few hours after the gym) Last night was leg night but I was short on time. Here is what it came out to: Leg Extensions: Giant Set (single leg) 15kg x 50 per Leg Curls: Giant Set 30kg x 50 Abduction Machine: Pyramid Set (half stack x 15, 3/4 stack x 15, full stack until my ass fell off) Adduction Machine: Same as above, but my sack fell off. Leg Press (some ass was in the rack for a solid 45 min taking selfies) 50kg x 50, 100kg x 30, 150kg x 25, 200kg x 20, 250kg x 20/15/15/10. I then dropped to 100kg and did 25 rep sets with 25 seconds rest until I could no long get 25 reps. Landmine Squat: 75kg x 15, 15, 10, 8 Sumo Deadlifts: 150kg x 15, 15, 15, 15 Leg Curls: 45kg x 15, 15, 13, 10, 9 Leg Extensions (single leg) 25kg x 20, 20, 15, 14, 12, 60 second static Hyper Extensions (bodyweight) 3 x failure-ish About 3 hours later I went for a run with the wife and hit just over 5km total. Pic updates: This is this AM at 112.2kg. So a weight gain over the previous photos. Sorry as I still try to work out getting the lighting and pose consistent. I threw in a lazy vacuum pose so you can see the stretch mark, loose skin on my mid/lower stomach. Good times. I don't know if I see any improvement vs last month, and any decline. That shoulder vein though does make me feel kinda good. On that note, I am a little lost as to were to go to next. I did increase may calories a little this last month, so maybe I need to drop them back down a little this month. Small progress is still progress, but I am hoping to get more aggressive with it come the new year as far as diet and supplements (as that is when I am assuming I can get home and look at stocking up on some goods) As always, I appreciate the feedback.
