I’m still pretty lean from my first couple times through the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program, but I’ve been wanting to see what I could do as far as getting into “contest shape” at my tender age of 42.
I’m think a little more muscle mass would be nice (I can’t help myself), but before I go for it, I’m going to do another round of Warp Speed. Some of my best gains came after my first bodybuilding contest at age 21 when I hit the 5% body fat marker (hydrostatic weighing). Insulin sensitivity and nutrient partitioning is improved when you’re leaner, and there’s less chance of adding excessive amounts of body fat when calories are increased. If you’re looking to add some muscle, it might be a good idea to lean out a bit first.
This’ll also give me an opportunity to be more supportive of the lovely Diane who’s down 11.5 pounds on her current program. My pizza night didn’t go over too well last week. 🙂
Other notes…
I can’t stand peanut butter, however, almond butter rocks!
Official opening day for I-FAST is August 4th, but if you’re in Indy and want to stop by, I’ll be in and out over the next two weeks if you’d like to stop by and check it out. Just drop me line. You can also sign up for the gym newsletter, which has some discount membership bonuses in it, on the website.
Most protein powders still taste like sh*t. I do have two favorites that I use, but c’mon this is 2008. If you say it tastes like chocolate carmel, it should taste like chocolate carmel.
I’m testing the Tiger Tail vs. “The Stick” for self-applied soft-tissue treatment. So far the Tiger tail is winning. I’ll keep you posted. (You can get them at PerformBetter.com)

P.S. I’ll track my progess at the Faster Fat Loss Zone if you’d like to follow along.
