I don't know how I missed your current pics. Man, you've come a long way. Your legs are tree stumps. Nice. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't 6'2"-what a cop out excuse. Lol. Anyway, let me see if I'm following this. You're doing 60+ mins of fasted cardio 3x per week, lifting 3-4x per week, loading up on carbs on lifting days, fasting(?????) EOD??

If you were the only guy in the gym you probably did 20 reps, right

Wish I could go heavy but my back and knees won't allow me to.
If you think you can, then you can, no doubt!

with squats ive learned something valuable:
do BOX SQUATS!!!
i cant emphasize this enuff! i used to think i was doing squats correctly and going all the way down until i started doing these bad boys..i went from 405 to 315 and my ego went with it! i currently use 2 different benches to squat with. one of em puts me at parallel and the other puts me past parallel (below parallel), i train mostly with the one that goes past parallel. at one point i even went as low as 225 to get my balance and form correct. i have worked my way back up to 405 x 1 on the past parallel squat which = 455 x 4 at parallel..
needless to say it has enabled me to increase my strength in this exercise.. when i went from the one that goes past parallel to the one that is parallel you wouldnt believe the difference in 2 inches!
i will always use this method..

Excellent! And just when I was kind of proud of my 420 x 5 on the leg press.... Oh well, that's what I get for not working legs. I hope to get my squats into the mid 300's someday but don't think 400's are likely. Very impressive.

I may try incorporating box squats on my lighter days to see how they are. I usually have someone watch my form on squats, being 6'4" means its a long way down and back up, so without someone watching I would probably not go as deep as I should.
Very impressed though 405, specially for your weight! Do you deadlift or do any Olympic lifting too?

uh oh... u better get cracking! seems to me working legs should be a requirement to maintain membership in good standing after having been a member here for 90days!
do it man they will help a ton! u may go down in weight but it will only be temporary, u will actually be getting stronger even though ur lifting less weight and feel weaker!

~185kg for 5 reps though mate, that's a pretty impressive lift too! Have you got an end goal for your cutting? Or you just running with it until you're happy?

One of the other great things about box squats is that they disengage the posterior chain. No stretch reflex makes it so much harder on the working muscles! Def looking into your carb cycling approach 405, seems really interesting.

Might try box squats... I get an insane lower back pump when squatting so maybe lowering the weight for box squats may help!!

I believe this man, my natty test is in the 400 range right now. And when I done my sust 250 every other week, I seen great gains. Now after being off, nothing...just maybe some shape/symmetry. Would this attribute to my fat settling in my belly? I hate to ask you so many questions on you thread pls forgive me.
-
07-21-2013, 03:36 AM #3832
^^thx kj and kruger
no probs with the questions man thats why this thread is here
If ur natty total test is 400 u need to find out wat ur free test is.. Sounds to me like ur a TRT candidate.. That will make all the difference in the world.

Looking good man. I'm starting my cut tomorrow and I'm just finishing the final touches on my diet and training. I'll be posting up a log sometime today. I'll link you in when I get it up. I'll have to get your input on BF%. What's your weight and BF now?

so i weighed in this am: 208.6lbs down from 214.8lbs (i think) 3 weeks ago. thats 6.2 lbs over 3 weeks which is right on track
i had planned on reducing my carbs this week from 400g to 300g but i thought better of it. no point in doing so as long as im still losing fat. i will continue with 400g carbs EOD at least thru this week. i may reduce them next week and run 300g carbs for 4 weeks. after that i expect to maybe reduce to 200-250g and run it for 4 weeks and after that increase to 2 days fasting one day training.. this is pretty much how i have successfully cut to single digit bf..
id also like to note that after just 3 weeks i went from what i would consider fat to not fat. i am not lean by my standards but probably a lot leaner than most average people. feeling good about my diet thus far and have decent momentum going.
todays carbs consist of:
4 pieces whole wheat toast with sugar free jam + 2 whole eggs, 1 cup egg whites.
4oz whole wheat pasta with tomato and meat sauce
4 servings peanut butter capn crunch
4 whole wheat bagel (thin bagel) sandwiches with ham and onion and mayo
eventually i may have to tighten up on carb sources, but maybe not. i have noticed last week when i ate the bagels i got way better of a pump than i did the time before when i had oatmeal.. it seems the bagels worked well so i am keeping them in.
post workout today ill have:
2 chicken breasts (bone-in, skin on)
1 pound 96%fat free ground beef sauteed with onion and teriyaki sauce..
good day of eating

Well ive officially graduated.. BiB i know u remember instructing me 2 yrs ago NOt to do squats with a pad. Well i couldnt just use the bar cuz it hurt so bad when i went heavier. I never really understood but assumed i disnt have enuff meat in the trap.
Well i have been hitting traps hard for the last year or so and also been using a pad to squat. Well today i forgot my pad. Actually i think i lost it. Anyways i did all sets including 405 with no pad and no pain!
Needless to say im also a fair bit stronger at shrugs than i was a year ago!! Lol..
No more pad for me!
