Much better, good work man! Hows your diet/cardio looking?

Great progress. Also interested on seeing the diet and cardio layout

**quaker48** · 07-09-2006, 09:50 PM

my cardio isnt much t-th probly 15min 20 min faily hard jogg in town. I credit alot my weight loss to diet. But i also switched my training to a combination of Olympic lifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, plyo's. I would set a number of reps i would try and get for example. I would try and do 45 reps with the clean & jerk in the fewest sets as possible recorded it and try and beat it the following week. This made my workouts the most fun i have had in years and your completely drained when u leave the gym.

nice progress bro!....Whats the time b/t pics?

**quaker48** · 07-10-2006, 07:48 AM

to the questioned asked earlier i dont really have much info on my stats, i didnt weigh myself or do a BF% test or anyhting like that. My main goal was i wanted to take a pic and then take one after a while and see the progress i have made.

2nd question- the first pic was take on 5-16-06 and the second pic was taken 7-7-06

quaker, lookin good bro..

You have basically NO carbs at all in any of your meals? You're going to end up losing weight but with it a lot of LBM as well.

I'd rework that diet if I were you.
Macros look like they might be something like this:
200g protein (if that)
50carbs?
50g fat.
Calories - 1500 or so.. That's WAY too low.. ofcourse you're losing weight, you're starving yourself.

Take a look at this and alter it to your BW/BF. I'd drop 500 calories for you on the cutting diet.
You could also change a few things to help seperate the fats/carbs if you wanted, I lose too much muscle when doing so because of metatolism.

Something must be wrong with my monitor. I don't see much difference. How much time is between each picture?

OK, found it.

I think that if you had cycled your carbs during those 2 months you would have lost a LOT more BF. I find that if I don't have a carb-up day my metabolism slows down so much that my fat loss slows to nothing. Of course, I never go over 150 grams of carbs a day...
