In search of 6 pack abs/ Natural cut ...with pics

[jjfman]

yoo guys im trying to lean off for the summer i looked into using things like T3 or an ECA stack but i thought id try a month or so without and see how it goes naturally through good dieting and dedication in my workout and cardio.

i started dieting 2 weeks ago and have some pics that were taken a little while before then and i took some pics today two weeks in.

pics 1&2 before dieting pics 2&3 two weeks in





i know picture quality is pretty poor and it may be hard to tell if ther is a difference but any comments are appreciated. ill do my best to get better pictures up.

abs = diet... if you get the diet correct then you will always have the abs not just during spring and summer - other wise you will have to keep going back and forth with some drug to get the fat off of ya - clen and t3 will eat some of you muscle up too fyi

[jjfman]

I know diet is the key that's why I've changed it and I'm not saying I want abs just for the summer that's just a the goal I've set for myself to have them by then.

Could anyone give me a bf estimate so I have an idea wer I'm at please??
I wana get down to single figures I'm thinking I'm maybe around 12-15%

[amcon]

second set of pics 13 - 12 % bf... diet diet diet is what you want to research next

[jjfman]

Cool cheers man I'm pretty sure I've got a good diet going I've lowered carbs and upped protein, i do struggle with breakfast though i dnt really know what I should be eating then I've been having different types of eggs I know that's good for example 6egg omlette (5whites and 1whole) it gets kinda boring though any ideas u can give me??

U don't need drugs to cut your lean already. A lot of times its just that tiney bit of sugar keepn em coverd up. Lookn good tho keep it up.nclude full body cardio like aerobics , swimming , or cross training to really burn it off quick, and to spare muscle.

[jjfman]

Ok guys so I'm now 3weeks in and feelin great so far but I'm struggling with ideas for breakfast eggs are gettin really boring. Any one have any good recepies for breakfast?

[jjfman]

Right 4th week in now heres some pics i took today (ill post a colour and a black and white just beacause the before shots wer in both)
Pic 1 was taken 2 weeks in pics 3 and 4 was taken today 4 weeks in.





i think ive made slight improvements on the belly fat but i think ther is some noticeable differences in my arms and chest. and i still havent lost any strength i actually feel stonger which is great!

comments appreciated be as honest as you like please guys

[jjfman]

Also I'm still looking for any good breakfast Suggestions??

[UrRoyalHighness]

i really enjoy doing scrambld eggs with salsa cooked together.. epic meal

[jjfman]

I'm after something different than eggs that's all I'm really eating for breakfast now lol thanks though bro

[jjfman]

any opinions/criticisms of the progress pics??

[rummyjoe]

Steak!... and eggs lol
There aren't very many sources of lean protein that fall under the (meal 1) category. I have 6 egg whites scrambled with green pepper, some spices, garlic, and I top it with a little avocado and low fat cheese. The avocado has a bit of fat to give me my morning energy and get the day started.

... I miss bacon and towers of pancakes covered in butter too buddy.

[jjfman]

ok so heres a little update seem to be still making steady progress but ive got the damn 'stubborn belly fat' around my lower abs lol its really pissing me off! i seem to be cutting up everywer else so im pleased with that and im not going to give up until i reach that goal



i know pics are a lil bright ive just got a new phone and havent quite got to grips with it yet.

any comments appreciated, critiscms, body fat estmations etc. thanks guys

[gbrice75]

Looking lean bro, I'd put you at 11% tops - maybe even 10.

[jjfman]

Awesome thanks man! Single figure bf% is what I want.

[jjfman]

I've gt a question for anyone That can help. Throughout the day I eat at fruit and drink fruit juce would cutting this out help me shed bodyfat? I'm thinking that it would lower sugar intake.

[Deltasaurus]

13% maybe less, sometimes when u drop weight u need to lean more have go abs cuz of a bit of extra skin but u dont seem to have this problem

[cjw2021]

weighted decline crunches

[jjfman]

so im now almost 8 weeks in on my cutting diet and still seeing great results now only in fat loss but in muscle size, strength and vascularity !!

pic 1 is a starting pic and pic 2 is one i took today





let me know what you think and any tips on how i can get rid of that last bit of belly fat covering the lower abs...its my everest!! lol

[americanoak]

gj, keep it going

[jjfman]

gj, keep it going

thanks man appreciate it

[jjfman]

heres another update pic two weeks on from the last one let me know what ye think.



i know theres some marks on the mirror it was taken in my gym and its a pretty 'hole in the wall' gym lol

i think im still making slow progress on loosing belly fat as now ther is that visible ridge in the centre of my top abs, but im seeing more and more definition in my chest which im pleased with.
anyone got any abs exercises they can share that target mainly lower abs jus to help push them out a little (i know cardio and diet are key and they are in check) much appreciated.

[wanabeMASSIVE!]

Ur progressing. keep it up! I say up ur cardio more...
