Recent DC Blast Before and Afters

[AtomAnt]

Not really a log, just a picture update...

I just finished up a 14 week DC blast using the 3-way split under the guidance of Scott Stevenson (Dante's Official DC coach). I started the blast in November just after I got my GI system healed up. So when I started, my weight was down pretty low but this blast really packed it on for me and I could not be happier with the progress. Not only am I bigger and stronger, I feel immensely better and my overall health has improved significantly. I gained over 40 pounds in the past 14 weeks!

I realize I gained some fat, but after Scott and I saw how quickly I dropped fat last time I dieted, I am not concerned at all.

I think the biggest change has been my leg size

Where'd you neck go. lol! Great progress Atom!

When is your next show? You could could probably pack on 20 more pounds if its late in the year. But looking how low your BF is right now, if you were to gain 20 more, I don't think you'll be a bantam. Awesome job!

Thanks Brotha!

I haven't had my BF checked officially. We use skinfold readings and judge by that. So if we see them going up too fast, we taper things, but do allow for slight increases in skinfolds as long as the size gains are there. But I can say BF is definitely within reason.

You hit the nail on the head. I plan on waiting until November to compete again and we are shooting for 180lbs before we start to diet. It is just so damn fun being strong lol

Great job brother, very noticeable gains in a short period. You still have many months to go before you decide to cut down too, pretty cool!

Scott is the man, he's up there with the best, if not the best, imo.

If you do not mind, what were your GI issues that you endured?

Yeah, no problem sharing. It was pretty complicated and lasted from September until almost thanksgiving. It started off with salmonella (PB recall) and I didn't know it was the PB so the gastroenterologist gave me anti-biotics but it kept coming back. Well the repeated doses of anti-biotics did a number on my intestines. I was in and out if the hospital because I couldn't hold any food in me and was deficient in all my nutrients. I was literally on the toilet every 20-40 minutes. I had 20-30 BMs a day!!!! So they had to IV me vitamins and fluids and let my intestines kind of rebuild. The doctor said I now basically have a permeable intestinal lining and certain foods will still fly right through me. It was rough for sure.

Great gains!!

I agree 100%. We have been trying some new things and getting creative since my shoulders have some issues from previous dislocations and and my left one was actually crushed.

I appreciate the feedback
