One Month of Cutting--So Far

[BiggerBri2002]

Hey guys,

One month into trying to cut down the BF. I will continue through the summer.

Put a few pics up...any guesses on my BF??

Still battling the "soft" look but getting there. Fourth pic shows my scar from surgery years to remove my FAT.

9%


good job so far.. keep at it..........

[LeanMeOut]

Looking good bro.... I would say from 11-12%. Keep on going.... another month and your gona be ripped up


<<LMO>>

[BWhitaker]

I would say more like 13%. Single digit numbers are quite ripped.

As far as Bri...i would work on the arms more. I see a lot of the "soft look" coming from lack of muscularity in the bi's.

[BiggerBri2002]

You are totally right man...my bis are a week point. Just started a new routine over the past few weeks to hopefully get them to grow. It is funny becuase they always used to be my strong point, but as I have grown, they look small now. Currently they are 16.5...wanna get to 18 by next year.

[BiggerBri2002]

Anyone else

Hey bro I think you have a good base for sure. You got a pretty big chest and your back doesn't look bad. I'd hit the shoulders, arms and keep the diet/cardio in check. I think once you start droping the bf you are going to look good bro. I'd guess you are about 12-13% right now. Tell us about your diet/training and keep up the good work!

Peace,

CC

Nice work man, keep it up. You look around 11-13% BF. Another month, those love handles will be gone and you will be all ripped up. Keep it goin, you're doing great.

[Z-Ro]

Good work Bri, keep it up, your looking great!

[pvgirl08]

Look pretty good to me. I'd guess about 12-13% also. Chest is looking good. I agree that the bi's and shoulders could use a little work. All that will come. Keep up the cardio, love handles suck to get rid of. Keep us posted and good luck!

[AandF6969]

As long as your doing cardio, why not do some tanning to make yourself look more cut? I think you'd see results a little better anyway.

[IronAdam]

Your making progress, keep goin at it. I'd say 12-13%.

[nickrizz]

the progress looks really good, congrats

[Tribex]

You made some serious changes since you started a couple of threads back, so congrats. As for bf%, i'd say 13 sounds about right. keep it up man...

[ENraged]

ok bri you have made some serious progress post up a before everything pic if ya got one?

[BiggerBri2002]

Hey thanks guys for all of the compliments.

I have been working on the tan...hitting the tannin salon at least twice a week. I just can't use those lotions that make you real dark and I break out alot. So I just have to stick with my natural tanning ability...which isn't that great.

Goal is to get the BF down to 9 or 10%.

I do have pics from way back 10 yrs ago when I was a blubber butt...if you wanna see them, let me know and I will scan some.

[Maraxus]

Put em up bro.

[ENraged]

yea post those up so we can see where ya came from

[BiggerBri2002]

Hey,

Here is one old pic of me from back around 1994/95ish. This was when I was pretty much at my biggest right around 300lbs.

I will scan some more later on. I also have some ones of me really skinny....Yeah I actually lost too much weight.

[bjayg]

lookin good Bri. getting better as always bro....

[BiggerBri2002]

Nah...never watched Tom Green.

[ENraged]

when did you start you road to fitness and happyness?

[TRIBOL]

nice job.. from fat to fab

[BiggerBri2002]

I started my road to fitness about 9 years ago during the Fall of 1995. After having a "heart" scare at 23, I decided to get fit. I lost all of my weight in(100lbs) in just about 3-4 months...way too fast. I was a featured success story in Mens Fitness in September 1997. My weight got all the way down into the 160's after a car accident that left me with broken pelvis, several ribs and collapsed lung. It took several months to recover. I was really afraid of putting on weight during that time, so I basically did not eat...therfore dropping into the 160's. Just started about 2 years ago to get serious about getting bigger. Started increasing protein, etc. Did my first cycle last falll and my second just ended...and here we are.

[ENraged]

rite on just wondered i see your have some stretch marks left over and wondered if they had shrunk down any for ya

[BiggerBri2002]

Stretch marks never go away...they still annoy the hell out of me, but a goo reminder of my past.

[cman56]

looking good brother

[cman56]

try cocca butter it helps a bit

[slizzut]

Just tan, the darker u are the harder it is to see the stretch marks. Keep up the good work bri.

[BiggerBri2002]

I will try the coco butter....its worth a shot.

I am heading to FL for the next 3 weeks starting July 7th...so I will be getting plenty of sun down there. Vacation is tough...but I am going to take the first week off from the gym, something I haven't done in ages and they make sure I am in the gym the following 2 weeks.

Down around 205 today....really starting to get lean, but feel small too. Is that because I am...haha

Have a good trip, Bri. Maintain that muscle size and you will be looking cut as hell.

[bluethunder]

Im impressed, hard work. best wishes

[BiggerBri2002]

Hey here are the few other pics I promised.

First one of me is from the summer after my freshmen year in HS. Look at my spare tire...**** that thing was big.

Second, was from my senior year at HS. I got a little taller so my weight didn't look at bad, but I was getting bigger.

Last one is of me probably at my skinniest. From my senior year in college from 1996. This was taken right before I got in my car accident. So actually if you can believe it...I did get even skinnier.

Unless the love handles are gone, I wouldn't worry about feeling too small.
You can always up your weights and increase muscle to help burn the excess.
