cutting diary: help a bro out

[Brazy]

well bros, here we go. was kinda hard to post pics because compared to you guys i look like ****

anyways, it's time to make a change. a serious change. i know it's gonna take every ounce i got, its all me. but getting encouragement from others and honest opinions from other people like you guys is going to make that much more of a positive difference.

this jan i started a cutting phase, i was 180 lbs when i started and 4 weeks later i got down to 169 lbs. i went from 17% bf (what i am right now im guessing) to 14%. than after that i just hit a wall and couldnt get back on track. i'll post some pics of that before/after when i get my other hd hooked up. currently i've ballooned back up to 188lbs as of this morning.

this is going to be my diet right here, i shall bump the calories by 100 or so and see how that goes for the first week. http://anabolicreview.com/vbulletin/...ad.php?t=91302

my training routine are as follows

monday through friday.

cardio 45min empty stomach

mon: back/biceps/forearms
tues: legs/abs
wed: chest/triceps
thurs: shoulders/traps
fri: calves/forearms/abs
sat/sun: may do afternoon cardio

i've been hitting the gym for rougly two years, doesnt really show thanks to my diet. but i do know how to train, what my body responds to etc.

any advice opinion, wheater negative or positive. i dont care, id like to hear them.

so thanks bros, i appreciate whatever feed back i get. i shall post here several times a week with progress and what not.

so far so good. i think the next couple days are going to be the hardest, especially later on in the week. from past experiance, it always gets really mentally challengin around the 4-5 day mark. but once i stuck with it before, it became really easy untill i hit that mental block a month after.

i'll weigh myself again this friday, and from than on, once a week on fridays, same conditions.

i am going to be very curious to see what kind of results this diet yields. my previous diet led me to lose on average, 1-2lbs of fat per week. i've never restricted carbs before like this, consuming them only for breakfast, pwo, and ppwo.

what about pictures. should i post pics weekly, every monday on empty. bi weekly or???

thanks for the help bros, keep it comming!
