The horrifying detransformation of KP + New cutting Log

[Knockout_Power]

Soooo, Im back on a more semi-permanent basis and its time to start trimming down. Ive been away from the gym and training since October of 2010 so almost a total of 14 months. Well, I dropped several pounds of muscle and added about 25lbs of good ol fashion Lard. I was about to go get fitted for a bra last week, but instead, figured I would make a stop in at the gym. Official weigh in at that time was 227lbs (Im 5'9)

Some of you know why I was away, originally I just needed some time off, then I tragically lost 2 people that were essentially my godparents and this coupled with trying to run a failing business and finances taking a huge hit I had a bit of a meltdown and 2011 seemed to disappear in what seemed to be weeks.

All excuses aside, I know that its time to get life back in order so this will be an account of the next 3 months of training.

For those of you who are lucky enough to not know/remember me, the first pic below (and the slightly altered avi pic, compliments of SM) is what I looked like roughly early spring of 2010 and the 2nd pic is me as of this morning.


Feel free to take all the shots you wish, it will only help with the motivation aspect.

For those interested, I WILL NOT be doing any cycling during this cut... this is strictly a diet and training exercise, so if there are any newbs reading this and thinking about cycling to help trim down and if you are this FAT, dont bother, the gear wont do the work that your lazy ass refuses to do.


The diet for the first 2 weeks will be nothing special (so I will not post it), since this is my first first couple weeks back to training, I dont want to deprive my recovering muscles (if their are any) by running a calorie restricted diet.

In about a weeks time I will start posting more details about training and diet when I feel my body is back in a better routine.

best of luck brother.

we will be all here to kick your ass if you go off track

[Knockout_Power]

much appreciated... taking my shirt off should be enough motivation, but I will need some input if you boys see me slacking or not achieving gains in a timely manor

[slfmade]

Good Luck. I look forward to seeing your progress. I am 5'9, and was 233 when I got fed up and decided it was time to get back at it. I'm currently at 180 now. Sounds like you have the experience to get back to the former you in no time.

Best of luck

Muscle memory will help too. Looks like uve worked hard so going through the motions at first then driving it up a gear after a few weeks should whip you straight back on track.

Good luck!

so ya got yerself a GF and put on a few pounds, huh?

damned if that don't sound familar! =)

First, good to have you back brother. Second, i'm sorry for your recent losses and what you've gone through. Many of us have been through dark times and there is light... it looks like you're starting to see it already, so let's do this!!

Yea, you added some body fat. So what! You know what you're doing, and it'll start falling off, no doubt. Size still looks to be there; I don't think you lost as much LBM as you think.

I know you've mostly dieted for gains and I don't know how great your cutting knowledge is (maybe it's vast, I have no idea), but at this point I must be the fvcking king of cutting since it's all I ever seem to be doing! If you want any help with the diet or some routines that are more conducive to fat loss vs. gains, don't hesitate to hit me up.

^^^^^^^Same here, glad your back and hopefully from here on in you can get back on track......shouldnt be to hard for you since you took your first step back, looking forward to seeing you transform back !!!

[ajordana]

good luck man. sorry to hear of the tragedies, im sure you can whip it back into shape pretty quick judging from your before pics bro. good luck and looking forward to following along!

thanks guys, I know I will need some diet advice after the first month. Im usually pretty good at getting the fatloss started, but I seem to need help when it comes to the final cutting cause I seem to do it wrong. Last time I dipped under 10% I cut too hard and lost a couple lbs of LBM

[ghettoboyd]

I didn't have you pegged as a Poison fan!? lol

nobody's perfect. And I wouldn't worry about it, in some parts of the world there are two states of being: asleep and drinking. Somehow it works in their favor lol

[Times Roman]

I dunno KP....

instead of all the hard work with diet and exercise, I've read from some of the newbs that 150mg drol/ed for 30 weeks should get you there pronto! No need for liver protection or pct, real men don't need that shiit

30 weeks and no liver control, not that liver control would help much running it that long. yeah I can see you loosing weight due to being on dialysis..

[lovbyts]

Before and after pics, I look forward to your progress, I'm almost exactly the same as you, maybe only 15 lbs fat and also been mostly off for the last year due to a couple of surgeries, shoulder injury and other life BS. Hopefully getting back into it after new years, doctors orders to wait until then. Same as you, no AAS except for TRT, only diet and work to get the hard base back.

Good luck, I need the inspiration.

sorry to hear you got sidelined, but nice to have someone to bounce progress off of...

wow TR, thought you'd have been here long enough to know the ultimate cycle by now, its Dbol 100 ED along side Deca for 4 weeks, then 4 weeks off and run it again

[Knockout_Power]
