One way is to throw out your scale for sure! Focus on the mirror and the belt size! I approach it differently, though. I weigh in every single day, at exactly the same time and same conditions. Little micro-fluctuations day to day don't bother me, and I don't build up anticipation waiting for a week to pass to see whether I lost or gained! In your case, I'd focus more on a body fat number, or a lean body mass number (they're functions of one another), rather than scale weight since for most of us, our goal is really more about body composition (how much muscle vs how much fat we have), rather than an absolute number on the scale. I use the Navy body fat method (google it), which uses a tape measure, to keep track of mine once a week. It's not as accurate as other methods, but it's easier for me to repeat week to week than calipers which have always been hard for me to use. And, like with weight.....the number isn't important.....the important thing is the trend (making sure it's moving the right direction)!

As for sponsors....you should be good to go with anybody on here! Just read through their individual forums and see who makes your antenna twitch!

Man thank you!

I get that a lot, in my line of work it's always better to be frank, every person that works in the profession has a alpha personality. Just don't rush, eat right, and it will come slowly, it's taken me three years brother, it it wouldn't have been for the accident in January, I'd have much more progress. Keep your head up don't get discouraged and read, u want some bad ass workouts that will keep your hr up and burn fat fast. Look up Mike Rashid overtraining videos, an example is my back one I did last night, it's in my http://brotherhoodofpain.com/massbui...tml#post298430 thread

More Carbs? Less Carbs? right now my carbs are a little high, well higher than fat and protein on most days. i have cut out almost all breads already.

Don't know about the Cyp, but my PSL Sustanon and NPP were smooth like silk!

I'm one of those sensitive to gear guys, it's taken awhile to find a pain free gear for me, so believe me I get it. As for diet I go for 60% protein, 20% carb, 20% fat, if your building muscle you need the fat and carbs

Measuring out everything you're eating? Using a food scale and keeping a log will help you see what's working and what isn't.....everybody responds to carbs and macro ratios differently!

Ok not going to pin this junk today!!! PSL gear has shipped, i will start anew when it arrives! cant wait!!!!

now that i am sure this is JUNK gear i would really like to share the lab name i got it from so no one else makes the same mistake that i did! and my ass STILL hurts from the first pin, and still is all knotted up! so if you all want to know who it is just say the word!
