gettin ripped!!

**Haro3** · 03-02-2007, 10:37 AM

ok...so i started at 208 bout 13% bf as per the bod pod about two weeks ago.....as cliche as it sounds im going on spring break and wanna see some abs which i've never seen and this is the lowest bf% i've ever been i had 4 weeks from when i started until i leave and im about 5 days into the "cut"...im not planning on being 8% here so please dont tell me thats not enough time...i think i can see 10% in 4 weeks heres the routine

monday - chest/tri/shoulders
tuesday - off day i work so i do pm cardio 45 mins
wednesday - legs
thursday - off day i work so i do pm cardio 45 mins
friday - back/bi/traps
sat- am cardio 45 mins
sun - am cardio 45 mins

thats the plan! i have clen but i doubt i use it...just dont like the jittery feeling from stimulants im doing it natural some cardio and a good diet

i've never done cardio regularly and im around 13% so ithink with the addition of cardio to the routine i should be able to drop some lbs....we shall see!

heres the diet incase anyone is wondering what it is..

Good luck bro...

Diet looks good i can smell a MFKR

i would suggest maybe a meat in your last meal.. Like Salmon and Brocclie instead of shake... but other than that looks pretty good..

ahahahah yea he helped me structure it....and yea i might switch the last meal and the meal before it..or i might just eat the same meal for my last two...havent decided or i might drop the last meal for just bcaa's as i get leaner..

**Mealticket** · 03-02-2007, 11:36 AM

looking good. that's some serioralus dicipline

**IBdmfkr** · 03-02-2007, 02:22 PM

Go for 75g less carbs and 50g more protein throughout the day, this will also help raise your fats a tad bit, they are a bit low IMO.

2500calories or so is the goal.

**chest6** · 03-03-2007, 03:32 AM

U know i'll be in here. Like the diet looks pretty good.

I'll agree to what Faiz said...

Yeah and 250g carbs is good to start with..but I wouldnt keep them there for long. As you go along I'd drop them to the 200 range...

**Haro3** · 03-03-2007, 09:17 AM

what about this "carb cycling" stuff that i hear about on occasion or is that not worth it seeing as how im just trying to lose a lil fat not precontest...

**Haro3** · 03-04-2007, 06:28 PM

1 week into my cut at 206lbs i believe it was

**Haro3** · 03-04-2007, 07:10 PM

also starting in a couple days im dropping my carbs a lil more going to take ppwo meal to 1/4cup rice as opposed to 1/2 cup then as i get closer ill drop my breakfast to 1/2 cup oats as well...

**IBdmfkr** · 03-04-2007, 08:19 PM

Starting to really take shape Haro.. in a few more years you're gonna be solid!

**Haro3** · 03-04-2007, 09:00 PM

thx man....u think i got potential for some abs in 3.5 weeks...?

**IBdmfkr** · 03-04-2007, 11:15 PM

Depends on how much muscle you're willing to sacrifice.. Next time don't let yourself get so out of condition

If you did it smart you could have faint abs and then possibly drop your water and use a mild diuretic before you go, if you did it fast and didn't mind losing 5-10lbs of so of muscle you could be pretty cut.

It's just spring break, just go enjoy yourself and don't worry about getting super ripped IMO. Gotta do this for yourself not for what other ppl think or you won't be in it for the long haul.

oh no definately agree im not going to sacrifice muscle at any cost lol im not THAT worried bout it....just thought it would be nice to be lean for the beach no biggy either way lol i've got a girl so im not chasing anything

sacrificing 5-10lbs of muscle...is not an option. and i didnt let myself get outta condition i've never been "conditioned"

**IBdmfkr** · 03-04-2007, 11:36 PM

lmao.. well nows the time to begin to diet down and continue after spring break and get yourself to a respectable bodyfat before you begin to put on more size IMO.

**Haro3** · 03-05-2007, 12:13 AM

agreed

**Haro3** · 03-05-2007, 05:13 PM

gym weight 206 today not sure morning weights....but im starting to notice a difference...not sure if its my new routine...they addition of cardio...the diet.....or the fact that im going tanning lol but i look leaner for sure..

**chest6** · 03-06-2007, 08:33 AM

Always had a hard time believing you weighed that. You look more 230 or so...

I guess no one would say they weigh less though

I'll be watchin this..even tho ill have updates anyway..

**Haro3** · 03-06-2007, 05:47 PM

**Haro3** · 03-08-2007, 10:52 PM

**Hellmaskbanned** · 03-09-2007, 09:41 AM

I'm with chest, you look bigger than what you weigh which is good.
Maybe if you get down to 150lbs you will look 250lbs??? lol

**JohnboyF** · 03-09-2007, 09:47 AM

If you can cut and get your desired bf range.. and still looking 200lbs + your gonna be pretty impressive..

Must be the diet ! diet is pretty good as i stated before.
