This diet is general. I am not going to eat the same sh!t every day, so i might drop the steak one day and replace with chicken and maybe some tomatoes with olive oil to replace fat. My goal is more concerned with calories expenditure than food choices as much research as you want to give me about sweet potatoes VS red potatoes i can give you a mountain of evidence to the contrary... that being said PLEASE KEEP YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOURSELF, THIS IS SIMPLY FOR OTHER MEMBERS THAT COME ON HERE TO FOLLOW AS A GUIDELINE.. I am not a body builder, nor do i ever want to be.. so that being said, i like to enjoy myself from time to time and am not doing this BALLS TO THE WALL.. I am going to do something that I know i can stick to..

okay.. my work out program is as follows:

it is a variation of my previous thread "add 50lbs to your bench".. i do chest tues/fri and back/biceps mon and thursday.. legs wednesday.. with the exception of if i miss a monday.. then i do back/biceps on wed and legs thursday..

nice to have you aboard, the more starving people the better.
allow me to just say that if you want to keep your diet loose which is fine its your cut, maybe bump the cardio to 45min or an after 1 hour if possible i think you'll benifit.
after all your looking to drop 20lbs in 8 weeks

NOTES: When i got home i was dripping in sweat still. think the clen spiked my HR or something. also last night i i woke up a couple times and my sheets were a little damp from sweating.. also from the clen. Shakes are minimal and only noticeable when i hold my hand up in front of my face.. other than that sides are not that major. Also, experienced cramps ion left bicep in last set of bicep work out also, my right forearm cramped up from cutting the steak and onions for my fajitas.. i took 2g of taurine, but no potassium, which i plan on getting tomorrow

RE DIET: low on chicken and veg need to go shopping tomorrow.. also, tomatoes and bell peppers were gonna go bad if i didn't eat em so i decided to make fajitas with bell peppers and steak and make tomato cucumber salad with my chicken since was out of leafy green veg.. probably should have left out the EVOO, but at least it is good for you.

Good luck brotha...I'm watching. Can't wait to see you at 225.

If you get to 12% BF in 60 days I would be amazed

Not putting u down, but its a lot of work, I hope u do well

Dont cheat, keep it real!

[Gucks]

just wishing u the best machine! hope to see you at 12%. and im gonna check on raw gym next week, know a few guys in there and its literaly a 5mins walk from skool, plus i get student discount :P ill let you know what i think!

i know u dont want critique but i dont like ur split, just my opinion :P good luck

[FireGuy]

To reach your goal you are going to need to be adding muscle while dropping 20lbs of fat in a relatively short amount of time. Not trying to discourage you just want to be sure your goals are realistic. Also per post #4, how are you gaining weight while you sleep?

If i get to 15% i would be happy.. which would be roughly 12-15lbs of fat.. setting my goal high, but expecting to end up somewhere closer to 15%.. we will see, fat melts off me when i stop drinking.. i lost 7-8lbs last time i was off the sauce for 8 weeks not doing any cardio at all.. so with cardio and clen i should get pretty close. Only time will tell.

I woke up yesterday weighing 243.6lbs.. then before i went to bed last night i weighed my self again at 241.4lbs.. this morning i woke up and i weighed 239.2lbs.. (I KNOW I DIDN'T LOSE 4 LBS AS THIS WAS AFTER MY MORNING PISS, THE DAY BEFORE WAS BEFORE)

I am just giving two different weights through out the day as my weight fluctuates a lot.. just weighed myself right now to compare and i weigh 243.6lbs.. at the start of this thread i said 245lbs just to be a round number i am more around 242-244.. a few days ago i weighed myself in the morning and weigh 246.7, when i weighed 239.6 two days before.. so i imagine it is all food i ate and water weight. figured giving two weights during the day gives a more reflective weight since i can easily lose 5lbs after doing cardio for 30 min and then taking a piss.

[MBMETC]

weigh yourself once a week im the am before anything goes in your body, if you constantly weigh yourself you'll go nuts.

[little p]

weigh yourself every morning man.. if u see yourself dropping it gives u lift for the cardio i the morning and if you see yourself going up u no you have to be more strick

[MACHINE5150]

weigh yourself once a week im the am before anything goes in your body, if you constantly weigh yourself you'll go nuts.

i weigh myself twice a day anyways.. when i brush my teeth in the AM and in the PM.. i will only be looking for week to week trends though.. but i am using this log as kind of a clen log too to see the difference in weight lose two weeks on compared to the two weeks off etc.. so day to day will give me a better analysis of this.

[nav13]

Good luck bro. Interested in seeing if it works out for ya.

yeah it is confusing now that i think about it..

P.S. i'm starving all the time since i started yesterday.. cutting is not as much fun as bulking/maintaining, i wish i could just have a 400g steak right now oh well.. only 60 days so.. 2 down, 58 to go..

bout time to have my Casein shake and call it a night.

WORK OUT:

AM CARDIO:
did 35 minutes this time, will try to stick to this, and by mid next week get to 40-45min total.. my heart rate was at 145bpm upon three different tests while cycling
RUGBY PRACTICE:
Did not get to do legs today as i had a business meeting instead. however i did a lot of scrumming in rugby practice today which is a full body work out in itself. Rugby practice was primarily tag rugby for the remaining 60 minutes. I would usually just do legs tomorrow instead but since i have a game on Saturday i do not want to have sore legs, so i will stick to just doing chest.

NOTES: I can not express how hungry i am all the time. It doesn't hurt, but it is always noticeable.. i have gotten a couple jars of pickles to eat during the day.. as they have no calories and will put off the hunger between meals. i literally had a dream last night that i ordered a big bucket of fried chicken and was sitting at the table eating it and this hot babe showed up in a bikini and tried to take a piece and i slapped her hand.. seriously.. like, what kind of dream is that? I usually dream about cool stuff, now i dream about food two days into a diet? I did sleep the whole night just fine with no sweats though, which was nice considering the extremely high dose of clen. Also, i did not experience any cramping in practice despite not having any potassium.

WEIGH IN BEFORE BED: 240.0lbs

uf ur gaining weight in ur sleep ur scales need changing LOL

no i wasn't it was just the way i was writing it.. i was writing what i weighed in the am and what i weighed right before gonig to bed that night.. i changed where i put the night time weigh in so that it is no longer confusing.. i lose anywhere from 2-5lbs over night depending on if i wake up and have a piss or not

[Damienm05]

Subscribed. I think 12-15 lbs. of fat is very realistic for the time-frame based on your level of experience and commitment. Looking forward to updated pics - you've got some serious mass.

that is more along the lines of what my real goals are.. as you can see.. my weight fluctuates from 237.2 to 243.6 (6.5lbs) in a day.. so once i hit 225lbs i will be happy.. but either way i am going to cut through to the end of April and then start my tren a & test p 8 week blast cycle on may 1st.. so if i get down to 15% BF, after the blast cycle and if i keep up the cardio i think i could get to 12% at maybe 230lbs by the end of june.. that's the plan anyways

[RaginCajun]

good luck bro. i am on a journey similar to yours! hit it hard!

[Gucks]

ur am weigh in 2day was 237? u lost 6ibs in 2 days..? massive respect if thts right. didnt think it was possible though!

Probably form implementation of the diet^ probably not true fat loss, not yet anyhow.


Good luck OP.

Another hijack...sorry machine!

Gbrice should I be using a cheat meal once a week? So far I haven't. If so what is a typical cheat meal?

You can start your own thread, or PM him. Not trying to be a d*ck, I just know this is supposed to be a long log thread and the fewer hijacks the better.

^^^^No worries guys.. if i was only able to eat chicken breasts i think i would and up taking a machine gun to the ST. Patricks Day parade by the time it came around.. i need variety.. Ahi Tuna is my favorite.. eaten raw with a bit of soy and wasabi is GREAT.. expensive.. but with all the money i am saving by not drinking i will still have more money by the end of the week.. and steak is not out of the question you just need to take a smaller amount of it and count those calories.. as long as your ratios are right and you are a few hundred cals under your TDEE, and do a bit of cardio you will lose weight. You could lose weight eating McDonalds everyday (ever seen movie called Fat Head?) it is not recommended, but you could do it.

Just an FYI.. I am going to start a bunch of posts below with the next 3 days, and then do the same for 7 days every week.. that way all the posts/logs concerning my diet and training will be together, and we can discuss below.. it will make it easier to follow IMO.
