MHP Presents the 2008 TEAM MD "GIVE ME MUSCLE OR GIVE ME DEATH" HARDCORE CHALLENGE

[crxrated]

Hey Mr. G, you still got some SERIOUS/DEDICATED/HUNGRY people who are chompin at the bit to get in this competition. If these people fall thru, I'm still down.

Good to know I wasn't the only one checking this thread several times a day after I entered!

I don't know how you could want this as bad as most of us do, and not check up to see if you were selected. If they don't have the same desire as the rest of us to win it, how are they going to have the dedication to follow the program?

If they dont send the pics I could have them for you in a minute. I would love a second shot and entering the transformation.

For everyone that is complaining that they didn't get chosen for this challenge: essentially Dave and Mr. G are going to POST the diet, training, cardio program, videos etc (female and male - just like they did last time). So why don't you just CHALLENGE yourself to follow it, and post your own pics at the end. Right now, this thread is really lacking support for the participants.

[gymdiva]

thanks Scorpio

my stuff is in...just waiting for directions...done Dave's diets before and liked them so I'm super excited to see what I get this time...

*** You can drink water, sugar-free drinks (diet soda), coffee, or tea with STEVIA BALANCE (no Equal or Splenda Packets).

What is wrong w/ splenda? I was under the impression it was the better choice to go w/ when talking about artificial sweetners?

[Dave P]

SPLENDA is great, however, it has 1g Maltodextrin per packet. 20 packets per day means an extra 20g carbs..........stick with STEVIA BALANCE (it uses inulin fiber instead of maltodextrin to smooth out the taste).

[Dave P]

Hardcore Supplement Stack:

Probolic-SR (12 Hour Muscle Feeder)- 2 scoops twice a day as indicated in Dave’s diet.

Trac-Extreme (Pre Workout Creatine/Nitric Oxide/Energy Matrix)- Take 1 scoop 30-45 minutes prior to your workout .

DREN (Ultimate fat burning/mood enhancing formula)- Take 1 capsule 30 minutes prior to your first meal of the day. Or prior to morning Cardio.

Cyclin-GF (Night time Anabolic Activator)- Take 4 capsules before bed on an empty stomach.

SARM-X (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator)- For weeks 1-8 take 1 tablet in the morning on an empty stomach, and 1 tablet in the evening on an empty stomach

T-Bomb II (Natural Testosterone Enhancing Formula)- For weeks 9-16 take 3 tablets in the morning on an empty stomach, and 3 tablets in the evening on an empty stomach.

SPLENDA is great, however, it has 1g Maltodextrin per packet. 20 packets per day means an extra 20g carbs..........stick with STEVIA BALANCE (it uses inulin fiber instead of maltodextrin to smooth out the taste).
