There are fat guys not getting diet advice today because 405 is debating in the lounge.

Not getting on much at the minute mate. Can just about read through a few of my favourite threads but that's about it.

I've reverted to being a bit of a purist and only helping those that I think will take my advice on board and get results. Like this one (not that you need me anymore!).

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

shoot man i still def appreciate ur perspective on things! also miss having my buddy to BS with.. how is the business going? hows ur diet and workout going? hows ur bf% these days? i know u said something about 14% awhile back have u managed to get rid of some of that?

184lbs about 12%, maybe a little less. Keep having 2 day blips on my diet but its easy to reign in the damage I do in those 2 days. I'm happy how I look at the mo, particularly chest and delts, they look much better when I'm not 170lbs!!! But I have my surgery in 3 weeks and I can't do upper body work for 6 weeks so my stats are gonna change by the end of the year.

Still waiting to get shop premises, hoping I can sign for some by the end of the year but its a redevelopment that won't be ready til early summer!

You still coming over for a small visit and Le Tour next year?

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

2 day blips r pretty good esp if ur able to maintain i had a major one day (i dont know what u wanna call it) last saturday due to a wedding. i ate all kinds of stuff! prob 5000-7000cals. it was awesome!

i also like to note my squat is up to 515 x 5 for 2 sets. pretty happy with that.

[Back In Black]

I know I can't improve my physique before March really. I'm kind of enjoying some good eats and I actually enjoy the penance of putting it right. Need to be really careful during my down time after the op but I should be able to do some LIC for 4 of the 6 weeks I can't lift.

Good squatting mate, I haven't squatted in 2 years nearly. Don't miss it. My legs are ok and if they get any bigger I can't get into my stylish slim fit jeans

Do you guys do Movember over there?

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

Movember?? English lingo??

[Back In Black]

Growing a moustache through November. For men's health charities. Not allowed to shave the old 'tache for the whole month. Mine is looking fairly camp right now.

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

LOL thats funny! i cant really grow a very good one..

Ah, that would be Decembeard over here!

Beards are far more acceptable than a 'Tache which were only really acceptable in the 70's and 80's. I've go e far a camp handlebar style!

Haha! Great minds think alike, or is it fools never differ???
I'm sporting the handlebar mustache, and I must say it's rather growing on me! Unfortunately I look like a extra that was never incorporated into the village people!

[RaginCajun]

just saw a pic of ya wheels in the other thread, nice!

most i ever squated was 425, but that was in high school and college (power lifted for LSU!)

[GirlyGymRat]

405. What's going on?????? Have you figured out how I can cut 8 lbs of fat???? Plz share your secret with me!!!! Lol.

whats up GGR!? i dont think u can lift rite now canu? also can u do cardio??

[GirlyGymRat]

I am allowed to walk for the next 2 weeks. So the stair master is walking. Right??? I did level 11 of 20 for 60 mins yesterday. No lifting using rotator cuff - it's torn so no lifting other than bi cep curls but first ankle surgery. I figure I will not be able to workout for 7 months +\- a month starting in December

I hope u aren't suggesting that I have no options but to get fat again??? That will be a serious problem since I purged all my fattie pants! Maybe supplements would help!!!

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

as long as u can do cardio/diet u should be fine. if u cant do cardio ur gonna have to be careful about what u eat even moreso... staying lean without exercise is a bit out of my area. id suggest consulting with GBrice for this. ill be interested to hear what he has to say!

If you move less eat less. No need for pre workout carbs if ther's no workout and you could drop your pro a little as you aren't lifting.

I have my op in 2 weeks and I'll be dropping approx 25% from both my carb and protein totals whilst I can't train.

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

to the rescue! makes sense but doesnt sound like fun!

good luck on ur surgery mate! ill be doing enuff for the both of us. currently on EOD schedule with weights one day and 90mins cardio the next. just thought about it and i havent had a day off in almost 3 weeks!

[Back In Black]

Ouch, don't forget your CNS needs a rest even if ups alternate cardio with lifting days. 90 mins at a time?

I should get back to LIC fasted cardio within 10 days so may be able to eat a little more than the 1900 cals I have planned! But sitting around recuperating is gonna be tough not to nibble here and there!

gotcha! how often u think? 1 per 7?

60mins am fasted

30min light intervals at lunch (also fasted)

[Back In Black]

1 in 7 sounds good. Especially if you are training 9 times in the other 6 days!

over achiever he is!!!!

love it 405, just listen to your body, it will tell you when it needs rest!

Thanks SteM. i figured cutting calories is appropriate, but i was not thinking both by 25% the thought of clen or anavar has crossed my mind, but i won't be able to workout - nothing for quiet some time

We are both having op together! I don't know what's going on with you, but here's hoping you the very best and speedy recovery!

[GirlyGymRat]

you are a freakin machine

Thanks GGR I am having some weird gyno removed!

The 25% reductions drop my cals enough for maintenance. It may be that those %'s change as I go along buy its a good starting point!

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

id like to note my dietary knowledge is growing at this point in time. i learning some methods that had not occurred to me to this point! definitely a cool thing which i wanted to post in this thread since its my log. body building is something u acquire more knowledge as time goes on and its pretty cool when u discover a method u have not previously considered that is proving to be effective!

im starting to believ more and more 8%bf or less may indeed be achieveable for me! although i am also coming to understand that the number is meaningless as compared to the visual results achieved.

[cue_artist]

^^true .

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

just completed 23hr fast today. (8pm last nite - 7pm tonite) very interesting! am beginning to see the merit in fasting on non-workout days! keeps cals at bay + does a bunch of other stuff supposedly i dont yet completely understand!

not to mention the 90mins fasted cardio i did today!

[Tx89]

Mate, u r an inspiration to me, no ****in less.

Always learning. To learn properly you need to do as you are doing, self experimentation!

Right, I'm in London and off to enjoy my weekend. It's that time of year, again!
