i will say Tom that you have definatly changed since the April show both in physique and mind set, it has been said many times that this years LH class will be a very tough class when all is said and done win, lose or draw you can sit back and say that you did everything you could for this show which is what it is all about...

**Tinytom** · 14-09-2007, 03:11 PM

Just a quick update as Im snowed under with work at the mo.

Yesterday I weighed 90kg exactly. This week has seen me improve every day just slightly, I am now looking very tight all over especially in my back. The best condition is always in the morning so I'm going to try and get a photo done next week as a guide for what I would look like dry. There are now striations all up my glutes and you can see the separation between my maximums and minimus on a side chest.

My conditioning through my front is silly veins at the moment, just totally rock solid. My back is onits way so if I can get anywhere near the front in terms of hardness I'll be very pleased.

This week sees a few changes in my meds

I've dropped the Omnadren now and also the tren Hex.

Next week I will start on

Methyl Trien + Masteron mix
Viroprop
I will also be adding in some Adex

I will keep up the MST and Proviron until the show.

All Rohm make. This should bring in my hardness a bit more

I am keeping the simplex in until about a week out, I have really tingly hands at the moment and aching elbows so Iknow its good sh*t lol.

I have dropped out the dried fruit from my morning oats and am keeping my carbs at 250g each day with a slight raise on Wednesday. I was going to drop them but I'm going to wait until I see Paul S for that decision as I am improving each day.

I know I am in the best condition I have ever been in. I am already past what I was at Portsmouth and improving each day so in 4 weeks I'll be a freak. PLus I'm going to be 5kg heavier than in April so thats nice.

You know when you are getting down to the low bodyfat levels when everytime you move you can feel a muscle pulling cos there's no more fat to insulate it. LOL

Therefore I'm being really careful about what I do in the gym at the moment, everything is now just repping and stretching.

I'm off to Lemington on Sunday where I shall meet up with a few of you I hope. I should be capable of half a conversation as I'm having my cheat meal tomorrow LOL.

**Tinytom** · 18-09-2007, 09:55 AM

I had rather a busy weekend.

On saturday I trained as normal and did a bit of shopping, I also experimented with some carbing up techniques. I didnt have a Nandos or a real 'cheat' meal although I did have a lean mince spag bol for tea before I went to work.

On Sunday I got up at 8am (after finishing work at 3am) and prepared my food for the day as I was going to a dinner with my family and then on to Leamington.

Cassie and I got to the pub at 12pm and had a meal with my family, they all had big roast dinners and I had poached cod and new potatoes. They all also had big puddings which was great to watch.

Then on to Lemaington and we got there about 4pm. None of the guys I knew were on stage yet so we went for a Coffee and came back to catch the U80s inters. We stayed around for a while and i chatted briefly with James L and Wade and met Shaun T for the first time and also spoke to Martin Burford who recently did the Leeds show and is doing Birmingham next week. Also met a new memebr on here but someone I've seen around a few shows Paul Bates. All in all I was pretty tired on Sunday and both Cassie and I were suffering from a stomach bug and a cold which didnt really make us very sociable. We left just after the U90s came on and headed back to Bristol, I was so tired by the time I got back I was worried about falling asleep at the wheel and only just made it back in time before my concentration completely went.

On Monday I woke up still not feeling very well but went to the gym all the same and did quads. I felt completely drained afterwards and went home, thankfully I had taken the day off work or I would have had to call in sick as I felt really sick and visibly bloated in the stomach. I was also holding a massive amount of water which was visible from my front (which is normally completely hard and dry) which was very smooth. Cassie and I went out shopping briefly and then met up with Paul Scarb at my house where we had a discussion about the final 4 weeks.

Paul is my voice of reason on my diets and just about the only guy I listen too as he knows me better than anybody. We had a little chat about the diet and training and decided that I would stop the twice a day training in favour of morning cardio and evening weights plus cardio. I feel this is the best option as I am starting to feel like overtraining. Although the wieghts twice a day works quite well I do feel like its starting to detriment my recovery so for the last few weeks I will go back to cardio in the am to bring out those little details that need to be there on stage.

I trained with my normal training partner last night as he's now back from his injury which has kept him out of training for 10 weeks. Its going to be a great help having Simon back again as sometimes you can waver when you train alone and get caught up in gym talk.

I still felt a little wasted last night when I got back from the gym and so went to bed at 9pm. I really needed the sleep and it did me the world of good to rest for a full 8 hours which I dont normally get to do.

This morning I was 89.6kg so a slight drop again. I am visibly depleted today and still feel a little drained but some of the water from the bug has com eoff again so I look a little better which is mentally gratifying if nothing else.

**Great White** · 18-09-2007, 10:04 AM

Sounds like a hard few days mate.

I have had that stomach bug too, knocked me for six at the weekend, didnt eat a think on sunday and hardly drank any liquids, im not getting ready for a show, so I bet its been bloody hard for you!

You`ll have to get some more pics up mate!

gunit · 18-09-2007, 10:04 PM

Gary Farr

**Tinytom** · 19-09-2007, 10:29 AM

Thanks Gary

Seeing as you've seen how I've progressed over the weeks thats good to know. Dan is looking 100% better this week than last, seems to have transformed over the last few days.

These last 2 days I have been operating a carb rotation style of dieting and this will continue up to the show.

I've found that the only real way to bring out that last little bit of detail is to employ this method about 4 weeks out. Paul and I chatted about this on MOnday and thsi is how I will diet over the next few weeks

MOnday - Low day
Tuesday - Low Day

Wednesday - Higher day

Thursday - Low day
Friday - Low day

Saturday - Cheat day = now becomes high carb day.

Sunday normal day not over 250g carbs.

diet will look like this

8.30 - 50g oats 50g My Protein activated barley, 20g Lecithin

11.00 - 250g Chicken and Brown Basmati Rice (35g Low day, 75g higher day)

2.00 - Same as 11 am

4.00 - Protein pudding (50g protein) + 30g Cashews (low day) or 100g oats (higher day)

6.00 - Train (on low days) Steak and potato (high day)

8.00 - 48g Whey, 40g Vitargo

9.00 - 300ml Myprotein LEW, 30g Cashews

The idea is to provide a massive deficit on training days which will force the last little stubborn bits off and then to increase carbs in order to prevent any thyroid or leptin shutdown due to the calorie deficit.

This then provides more energy for the next low carb days and so even though I will be in deficit I should have enough stored glycogen for a decent workout (on thursday at least lol)

I have found this method very effective in the past but only for the last 4 weeks to really make a difference between a winning and OK physique. Paul Scarb says that I am already past my Portsmouth condition and therefore anything more I can achieve will mean that I will truly be in the best shape I have ever been in.

The best thing I have seen in the last 2 days is already I have noticeable improvements in my condition especially in the lower back and middle back where the hardness and condition is starting to come to the standard of my front. Not there yet but its on its way.

I have switched around my morning training so now I am doing some higher intensity cardio for 40 minutes (thats as long as an episode of Prison Break lasts on my DVD player LOL)

My med schedule is now as follows

1mg MT/100mg Masteron combo everyday except Wednesday (because i dont train that day)

100mg Viroprop. Monday, Wednesday, Friday

MST every day
50mg Proviron ED

1mg Liquid Arimadex ED

160 mcg liquid Clen in split doses ED up to a week out.

T4 am before cardio
T3 pm before bed

6iu Simplex pharma GH in split doses ED

All meds except GH, T4 and Proviron are ROHM make.

SO thats the plan up to the show. no more changes unless I feel that something needs attention, I am coming in exactly as I planned and dont need to make any adjustments as yet.

ah24 · 19-09-2007, 11:12 AM

Sounds like you have it all sorted mate.
Any more pics before the show or are you doing a James.L?

Whats the lecithin for?

MASSIVEMONSTER · 19-09-2007, 11:22 AM

Looks like your going to be hungry on them low carb days Tom!
Do you drink diet coke or anything on lower carb days to help you through the day?

supercell · 19-09-2007, 12:07 PM

He drinks trioplex bars:beer1:

Keep going Tom, not long to go now my friend. Bet you're like me; excited but at the same time filled with a bubbling feeling of slightly nervous anticipation!!

LOL you fool!

I odnt have any more Trioplex bars in my house thank you very much.

Yes exactly mate, now its really starting to get close and the last bits of condition are coming out I cant wait to get out there and show what I got.

MM - I was starving yesterday and went through a whole pack of chewing gum trying not to think about it. Todays better though, lots of rice yum yum. However I feel a bit sluggish due to the increase in carbs, my body isnt used to it lol.

AH24 - I may do some pics in a week or so when there's a real difference. At the moment I'm still getting over a stomach bug so still a bit watery. Lecithin is for b vits and fats. Also makes oats taste nicer.

I dont like the peanut filled ones. They were bought for another midget whos 20 years older than me but is too tight to pay for them cos he's under the thumb.

**Pscarb** · 19-09-2007, 07:11 PM

well that cannot be for me because you have the ones with the peanut in the middle which i dont like plus you had one box of berry trioplex which if i am not mistaken are your favs

supercell · 19-09-2007, 11:39 PM
