Time to take a trip to the diet forum.

Heh Heh, already been there Thx for the tip!

You can get there... depends on how hard you wanna work... and how far you wanna go... 6 pack in 11 months borders on Easy... you could have a 6 pack in 5-6 months if you bust your ass...

For now, a 6 pack & I'll be a jolly old fellow. I have a tendency to go rain man when I really want something. Hopefully, this is one of those times

A few shots of my fav muscle groups (back, doing a dbl bicep pose), where I actually have a little muscle. This is where a lot of my focus has gone into over the years of lifting. Love HEAVY cable rows/deadlifts.

deads are my favorite... Absolutely love em

Same. deadlifts are awesome

Nearly 2 weeks in, can see my top 2 abs while flexing now. When I sit at my desk there's no longer a big roll that hangs over my pants. Weight still 102kg so I'm not to sure where the fat is going, but I can tell it's definitely going.

Body is adjusting to the calorie defecit as I'm not constantly starving inbetween meals now.

Nice job thus far. I hope your in this for the long haul.

[C-BuZz]

Thx mate. I'll be here, until I've got a 6pack at least heh (assuming I've actually got muscles underneath the fat). I'll re-assess what direction to take when I reach my goal.

[C-BuZz]

Weighing in at 103kg .... Weight steadily increasing due to excessive eating disorder.

Thx man, I know it's not that far away. The bad thing is I know perfectly well that putting 3 pieces of birthday cake in my mouth is going to go straight to my midsection, yet I do it anyway FFS.

[Misery13]

Nice progress bro. Keep at it.

[gbrice75]

Do you have a target weight in mind to diet down to?

[C-BuZz]

Nice progress bro. Keep at it.

Cheers, & I'm trying!! LoL, dam birthday's always popping up when I'm at my weakest.

Do you have a target weight in mind to diet down to?

No target weight, 6pack is my only requirement

Still 103kg, but we've made some PROGRESS!! I didn't even realise that my obliques are JUST starting to show through when flexe WOOHOO. Time for more cake & candy!! (j/k's).

22-FEB-2012 FLEXED

Day 27, 101kg. BF 25%?? God dam diet is the hardest. Not the workouts, I find them easy, it's the calorie watching/counting that screws me. But... I am changing my evil ways. Slowly, very.. slowly Which is why I gave myself a year to get there, I know I'm weak heheh.

Another WTF moment for me today, I'm becomming more vascular LMAO. Not very noticable in the picture, but it's there. Also got a wicked V sunburn tan yesterday, on my neck.

99KG (218LB) today. Weight fluctuating a fair bit. I may not look it, but I definitely feel slimmer & I now have to wear a belt on my work pants I'm hoping as I drop some bodyfat those annoying fatty deposits under my arms (outer pec area) will fo.

Having a fair bit of pain in my right pec while doing seated benching @ 160kg (4 x 20kg plates on each side). Right pec feels a lot weaker than my left. I'm scared to push it because it feels like something is going to snap. Might have to back off a bit or try some different angles. Flat 25kg dumbell flyers are fine, also standing cable are also fine. It's just flat bench & seated bench I'm having pain.

Did a BIG cardio session last night, about 1hr. I don't do cardio at the gym, I hit the field across the road for cardio. Did about 15 laps of the oval with sprinting intervals. Love sprinting, nothing beats the wind hitting your face at full speed & everything feels like it's goign to explode. I stop every 3 laps or so for situps. I know I don't look like I can run very fast, but I can

Your natrual right?

[C-BuZz]

Your natrual right?

Yes mate, gear is not for me Heck, I don't even take any supplements LOL. I do enjoy reading about ppl's experiences & this forum is pretty cool which is why I log here.

May as well post my pretty average diet while I'm here (it's fairly random). Pretty much eat this every single day year round. I really do enjoy eating, & for me, never get's booring

Breakfast:
Small bowl Nutra Grain with skim milk (I've seriously reduced the size of the bowl, it used to be a MASSIVE bowl of nutra grain overflowing over the top of the bowl) I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS STUFF!
Fist full of chicken

Lunch:
Usually a chicken salad or beef salad
Skinny cappachino

Pre workout snack:
Fist full of chicken or ham
Swig of skim milk

Dinner:
Usually chicken or steak w/broccili & random veggies

Before Bed:
Natural skim milk shake with eggs/nuts/berries/banana/ice ect.

Really got no idea on the macro breakdown, but if I had to guess I'd say around 300g protien/50g carbs/?? fats ??.

[C-BuZz]

Weigh in: 100KG FUAARK, weight going up & down like a yo yo.

Some happy snaps from my model shoot today. Feel free to estimate my BF% thanks

Well well well, look what I found hiding under the fat today.

9-MAR-2012 Flexed, is that the first outline of a 4pack?? I DO have ab muscle under there!!! YIPPEEEE..


9-MAR-2012 Relaxed:


For those of you wondering about the wheels, they are actually pretty good & I'll try get a shot up shortly. I did Muay Thai kickboxing for 3yrs before I started lifting so there not to bad.

[BokBok]

What a difference 5 measly kg's can make! Keep it up fellow Aussie!

Most of the calf muscle is from kickboxing.

Still seem to be making progress however no six pack as yet. I've fallen off the wangon a few times with my diet eating copious amounts of $hit foods on more than one occation.

On the positive, training has been consistent & lifts have been increasing constantly & actually PB'd my bench 140kg x 2 (assisted on second rep). Constantly learning new things about my body, which motivates me even more. I've now been bodybuilding just over 3yrs & I feel I've only scratched the surface in terms of knowledge/understanding. So much to learn, so little time

I know what my next goal is going to be after I get a 6pack, I would like to be 220lb@10% BF. Now, I'm not to sure if that's even possible at my height, but it's something I would like to work towards before I get to old. Mabye the start of next year I'll drop some more body fat & work my way up slowly.

Stay focused. If you absolutely have to cheat on the diet, schedule cheat meals/days. Rather than " falling off the wagon" and eating a ton of junk. This way your still in control and you wont feel like garbage for eating something off diet.
