feel free man! be sure to ask a lot of questions too

[RaginCajun]

so, are you liking the fasting?

are you switching it up daily/weekly?

[--->>405<<---]

yeh im liking the results! i fast for 11hrs after waking on non-training days and only eat according to appetite with no carbs. i make sure i dont go over 1250cals but if im under then thats fine.

on training days im eating 3400cals all carbs (300g) pre-workout only. no PWO carbs. probably a controversial method according to a lot on this site but the results im getting speak for themselves.. no arguing required.

so basically i get carbs 4 hrs every 48hrs..

also doing 90mins cardio EOD (fasting days) split into 1 60min session and 1 30min interval session..

[Tron3219]

looking more ripped and not as full from your other pics in my opinion

[--->>405<<---]

[--->>405<<---]

[--->>405<<---]

LOL.. yeh i would not usually use them except im shrugging 365lbs and it makes it easier for me to focus on pulling with traps as opposed to arms. also i have a bit of medial epicondylitis so im trying to baby it! thx tho..

[digsy1983]

i use straps on heavy shrugs aswel myself buddy, so was just being critical and pedantic for poops n giggles.

seems youve put on some size (muscle) tho! thought it was a new fangled 'cutting' method you were doing? get it into a stickie if its working man!!

[GirlyGymRat]

i take it you didn't get hired for that seasonal gig as santa claus this year

i think ur rite as i have gotten stronger and the pics do show some LBM gain. ive also lost 10lbs of weight. and ur rite i am on a cutting diet of sorts! one i have a lot of confidence in that goes against a lot i used to believe! has to do with NUTRIENT TIMING

i take it you didn't get hired for that seasonal gig as santa claus this year

LMAO!! guess ill have to find another seasonal gig!

[digsy1983]

How's it going 405? thought I'd put my head in the door and say hello

I've actually got a book called nutrient timing.

[Mostly-fat]

Man that's pretty impressive.. I'm basically looking for the same transformation going from beer gut to cut lol I have similar hidden muscle, but im taller and fatter too. thanks a lot for this little piece of inspiration man..

[Tron3219]

Lookin impressive, got me mirin! Hahahaha but for real, good job bud!

I'm in the same boat as you, I believed the conventional cutting methods to b the only way. There has been a lot of light shed on that in the past couple weeks with me working fasting into my progress. Shedding fat fast maintaining lbm and actually getting a tad stronger. Tell me I should fast a few months ago and I would have said ur crazy lol

Which is which?

Mate, I'm coming to you for advice when I start lifting again.

Pleased to see you are shifting some proper weight nowadays, one of the best fat burning tools is more LBM!

[gbrice75]

Looking damn good bro... the wheels have either come up A LOT, or the last pics we were using to compare were crappy. Now I understand why you squat so much more than me, lol - wheels definitely got me beat.

[RaginCajun]

nice progress! you look even leaner from the last bunch of pics.

i know you said you are fasting and carb cycling, how do you have it laid out again on a weekly basis?

thx man! ive been working hard thats for sure. even more important (IMO) ive been dedicated in the kitchen. that to me is where the rubber meets the road! yeh i think the lighting in these recent pics is just better than the other one i sent u. only about 4weeks difference between the 2.

nice progress! you look even leaner from the last bunch of pics.

thx cajun ill post up a rundown here a little later, right now i have to get this cardio done!

[Brick]

405 looking forward to your post about carb cycling and fasting. I work a busy job and only have time to have a quick shake in a 4-8 hour shift and have been thinking about incorporating fasting into my routine. I'll wait until you lay out what you're doing now before I ask specific questions!

[--->>405<<---]

sure thing man.

[canesfan804]

Damn! You did that in 1 year? Thats some nice work. I did some carb backloading with intermitten fasting a couple mos ago. Liked it alot but I couldnt hit my macros to gain. Lost weight even without cardio. Had to go back to conventional diet to bulk. I do think I will go back when its time to cut tho.
