Nice job CC, I think you definitely accomplished what you wanted to do & more. It was great sharing some of the same aspects, right down to the end with the carb shuffling. I did the same, I believed it worked too. I hope to do this more, but as I said I'm going to put on hold for at least a week & see how I feel after my hernias fixed. The Dr said six weeks, & I said yeah right. But I'll just have to be real careful & work on more simple workouts rather than the complex, that we were all doing. I don't know about you but after the water deprivation before pumping before photos sucked real bad, the first thing I did after was get a cold diet pepsi. Now for the licorice. Lol, Good Luck Bro,
