**TheMudMan** · 06-24-2003, 07:50 AM

I see a big difference.... good job!

**usualsuspect** · 06-24-2003, 07:53 AM

Kudos bro!

Maybe you can give us a quick run-down of your diet, training, and supplements (cycle included, if any).

I'm sure you worked your ass to shave 5% off of your bf. Impressive.

yes can see a huge difference... congrats.

**Mentalism** · 06-24-2003, 11:48 AM

hell ya! thx for the props bros

In the start I was cutting hard but losing quite a bit of muscle too. So I slowed things down a bit and just reduced my calorie intake by 1 meal a day. Instead of having a big ass good dinner like I was used to, It turned out to be a fist full of multi vitamins and a protien shake. No carbs after 6:00pm I followed religiously. No cardio other then work in the gym.

None the less, Im happy with this 9% right now so Im gunna start bulking back up to perportionmyself out a bit. Good times, good times

**pumpseeker** · 06-24-2003, 12:58 PM

I agree...You don't need cardio to get to 9% from 15% if you're diet is in check and you're lifting hard. Great job!

**nutbar** · 06-24-2003, 01:57 PM

looking solid, congrats on the progress.

BTW: how tall are you

**BimBamBoom** · 06-24-2003, 02:35 PM

Damn, I just did the math.

If you were 213 and 15%BF that meant your LBM was 181.05LB's
and now you are 210 and 9%BF your LBM is 191.1LB's
You decreased 13.05 pounds of fat
and gained about 10 LB's of muscle
I dont know if my math was 100% there, but i took a stab at it.
Good job!

**broncojosh** · 06-24-2003, 02:38 PM

Nothing better than staying the same weight, and dropping 4%bf! Rock on bro

I didn't understand well what he wrote:
"slowed things down a bit and just reduced my calorie intake by 1 meal a day."
that's why I asked that......I'm sorry for my mistake

**G Child** · 06-29-2003, 06:51 PM

Looking bigger while weighing less in the second one. Nicely done.

**Mentalism** · 06-29-2003, 09:44 PM

More pics in 4 weeks at the end of the cycle...

Gunna slam the gym hard and keep diet in check so I got something worth showing ya'll

Plan is put on another 5 solid pounds, keep bloat and water retention down and drop about 1-1.5% BF..
