Nope.

You can do some pretty drastic things in 12 weeks with drugs, but this doesn't look real. The calves seem to have grown a ton.

Cut your protein and up your carbs.

300g is not only unnecessary, but it's also an inferior source of fuel for you due to your endurance training. 150-200g a day is more than enough still.

Great work, Zack! Doesn't mean I'm going to cut you any slack, because I expect to see both those numbers go up even higher once you can start stuffing yourself again! :D Was waiting for you to chime in. :) Any tips on my deadlifts?

For someone that wants to compete, your calorie and protein intakes are far too low.

I love watching how strong you are getting. Keep it up. Your form is textbook too. Excellent.

Need to be really lean to try to combat elevated estrogen from my liver issues.

Soon though, soon.

I'll look around and see if I can dig it/others up.

Thanks you guys. I'm gonna play with it and see what happens! Anyone else think playing around with different food combinations and workouts is fun? Is that why most of us are here? :) I did it for a while a few years ago. If I were you and wanted to compete within a year, I'd discourage it. I was ...
