i posted a before and after pics of myself and i have heard a few people say ya i lost over 100lbs to thats awsome to hear i was just wondering if any of you guys have any before and after pics i would check it out ! or even if you put on alot of mass before and after pics show us !!
Here is a before a before and after. 20 week Precontest Diet results from last year.
Oh, Starting weight 215, on stage weight there was 186.
FireGuy thats some work, how long did it take you to get down to 186??
20 weeks, no clen, no t3, no t4. Cardio and Diet.
Fireguy help me out bro, i wanna look like that for summer
No secrets other than hard work man. Worked my way up to 2 hours of cardio a day. 7 meals a day, 300-400g protein, 50-350g carbs and 30-100g fat. Adjust each macro as needed.Quote:

I am down to 255 atm with very very little strength loss. I will post some pics eventually and try to track down some of my fat pics.
I will be starting my cycle very soon. When I drop another 10-15 pounds. Looking to cut weight harder mainly while maintaining my strength. 75 pounds lost so far, my goal is to be as strong as I can be at around 210 (I am 5'10). I am more of a powerlifting mindset vs bodybuilding. At 37 years old and with a thyroid condition, loosing weight is a HUGE undertaking. I eat 2400 calories a day and do cardio 5-6 days a week along with lifting. Even at that rate i only loose about .5 pounds a week MAX. Very frustrating at times but I refuse to quit now.
Congrats on your weight loss also btw, looking very good.
Thoes are some Varried numbers is that because of Calorie cyclying?Quote:

I just want to be specifically goaled toward cutting i want to have a wicked lean frame for summer which is about 5-6 months out. The Post-Summer im going to Lean Bulk up to im hoping 195-205lbs at 11% or less BF, i believe that i can achieve both goals :D

You are making great progress my man, just stay on task and you will get there. When you hit 195-205 at 11% is time to circle a day on the calendar in the next 12 months and get that first show under your belt.Quote:

Im lowering my starches and eating alot more greens but its tough to get the Carbs i need because greens are so low in carbs, Do you have any opinions.
Also my sciatic is giving me trouble so i have been toning everything down including running which was part of my 2x a day cardio now im just mostly walking at an Incline for PWO cardio
When I diet sweet potatoes make up nearly all my starchy carb calories. I weigh them and cook them days in advance. As far the the sciatic, good luck man, had a discectomy a while ago for the same issue. Running definately aggravates it.
My normal precontest diet is 14 weeks but I did 20 for that show as I had not been on stage for a few years and got a bit fatter than I normally allow myself to get.Quote:

i would post mine, but i have puffy nipples that i need to get rid of..
i lost a sitload of weight starting i was 280 when i was 16... dropped down to 175 by 17, now age 22. im 235, and working on getting shreded loose skin is a bitch man..... 6'0 tho i grew a few inches after i lost the weight so my skin doesnt seem as stretched as it used to be
I was 263 lb. when I graduated High school. I got down to 185 when i turned 21 (the year of my life) Now Im back up to 220 and not the ripped body building big, but the more flabby and unpleasant big. I need to know what if anything you can do to get rid of loose skin other than surgery. Also does anyone know if you can do anything about gynecomastia other than surgery. Im going to see a surgeon soon about having the surgery. Im sure he will give me some advice but have any of you done anything that works?
fireguy, you are a straight up genius. honeslty ive been on this board for about a year and you have taught me a ton. i dont post all the time i like to just check out the forums and learn everything i can. but i commend you, and you know what you are talking about thats for sure. you pictures are awesome and it motivates me to keep the cutting cause itll happen. im interested in your diet. i posted mine in the diet section and would appreciate it if you told me your thoughts. i have since tweaked it a bit...thanks. again...congrats
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words but I assure you I am far from a genius. Lots of trial and error and keeping an open mind to other peoples ideas. I will find what you posted in the diet section and give you my thoughts.Quote:
