Operation Get Dan Diced Week 6 FINAL Update

I am DICED! I did it! I made it! And thank God it’s over.

It’s been a tough journey. But, yes, despite my deep contemplation and pondering thoughts of last week, it WAS worth it!

Week 6 Progress Pics

I wrapped up the end of Operation Get Dan Diced with a professional photoshoot. I used my pal and awesome photographer Nick Velasco (http://www.nickvelasco.com/)

There’s a lot more pics on their way, but here’s a few that Nick sent over for now.

My body weight

Let’s take a look at my weight fluctuations across the six week program:

Average AM Bodyweight (when I’m at my heaviest):

Week 1 – 77.2kg

Week 2 – 76.7kg

Week 3 – 77.3kg

Week 4 – 76.9kg

Week 5 – 77kg

Week 6 – 76.5kg

Average PM Bodyweight (when I’m at my lightest):

Week 1 – 73.6kg

Week 2 – 72.9kg

Week 3 – 73.5kg

Week 4 – 73.3kg

Week 5 – 73.3kg

Week 6 – 73.7kg

FINAL DAY = 72kg at time of photoshoot

So as we can see, overall my bodyweight pretty much remained constant over the 6 weeks, despite the fact that the way I looked changed drastically. Goes to emphasise that the scales alone are a poor judge of progress!

Calories

My calories over the six weeks went from 2,100 to 1,800 in gradual decreases. Doesn’t sound like a big difference, but it sure felt it!

Steps

This week’s step count was about 17,850 steps a day on average. Remarkably my steps over the six weeks increased from my daily average of 15,000 a day that I started at. Remember, I don’t wear my FitBit during exercise. Considering how much training I was doing and how poor my energy levels were, this is very surprising! I think I was consciously trying to move more, to battle my low energy and to keep dropping body fat!

Sleep

My sleep average was over 6 hours a night this week. It’ crazy how my sleep actually improved!

Leaner Stronger

I would like to say a massive thanks to Jake Weekes of Leaner Stronger. His coaching was a huge help to me get me through the six weeks. I cannot recommend him strongly enough.

What do I do now?

I won’t talk about this just yet. Stay tuned! To be continued!

Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review

https://howistayfit.com/training/abolic4/ Another Supplement That Works! My “A-Bolic4” Review admin 28/02/2019 As you probably already know, I am generally not a big fan of nutritional supplements. The reason being, is that most of the time I don’t notice any results that warrant spending money on them. Apart from Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), I usually just stick to the few basics like whey protein, creatine, omega-3 fish oil, and multi-vitamins. However, I am quite excited by the results of a new supplement that I have been experimenting with: A-Bolic4 A-Bolic4 The product I have been using is called A-Bolic4. It is made by an American company called The Lab, and it is marketed as an “anabolic growth supplement”. They claim that it “supports anabolic growth, increased metabolism, cellular integrity, and male sexual health”. My Experience Before I talk more about the supplement, and what’s in it, let me talk about my results with using A-Bolic4. I have been

Wider Shoulders

https://howistayfit.com/training/shoulder-training/ Wider Shoulders admin 18/03/2019 It is my opinion that shoulder training should be a priority when training for an aesthetically pleasing physique. I’ve mentioned before that a wide set of shoulders are noticeable regardless of what clothes you are wearing! These are some of the exercises I like to perform as part of my shoulder training, with a main focus on medial detloids (side delts) and trapezius (traps) development.

Post Workout Protein and the Anabolic Window

https://howistayfit.com/diet/post-workout-protein/ Post Workout Protein and the Anabolic Window admin 13/04/2019 I remember it so well. Every time I would pack my gym bag before heading off for a workout, I would always be sure to include my post workout protein shake. It would be ready mixed in my shaker bottle, ready to be slammed back as soon as I finished the session. And on the odd occasion when I forgot to pack my protein shake, I would be horrified! I would hurry home as fast as I could, to quickly get my protein down as fast as possible. My eyes would be on my watch, as I raced the clock to consume my post workout protein shake within 45 minutes of finishing my workout. Because if I didn’t get my protein in time, that gruelling workout I had just put myself through would be a total waste. It would result in no muscle gain if I didn’t have protein within the 45-minute post workout anabolic window! Little did I know that I had nothing to panic about! The 45-
