AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
I'm glad you set that March goal of 12% T, because I would like to continue this (actually, it really only STARTS for me after the new year) with you and I had the same timeframe in mind, around March, to hit my 10% goal. I HAVE to be at around 14% now, so if I can't drop 4% bodyfat over the next 3-4 months, i'm quitting the sport!
So point being, we'll continue this thing together.

Sounds great. Besides we'll have plenty of time on our hands since all of these threads, except ours, will be shut down because all of these great people are going to be in the remote trainer contest.Originally Posted by gbrice75

This is my back double-bi, pose. Let me know what you think, please.
Productive Member
Back and front delts look great in that pose! I have a feeling your lower back is going to be popping like crazy at 12%
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
Delts are no joke! I HATE you! You're making me want to quit this shitty cut TONIGHT and start adding mass... i'm SICK of being skinny fat!
Productive Member
If you're skinny fat then we all need to start tren cycles.

I'm seriously thinking about trying to enter a show next summer, after my 45th birthday? What do you all think, if I get the bf down, could I not take last place in the Masters/Novice division?
Productive Member
Talk to Fireguy if you're serious about it - that's a good ways off still and with the progress I'm seeing you've already made, I have no doubt you could be successful.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
BLECH you should see my stomach when I sit. Probably a combo of loose skin too though, which really sucks because I can't do jack about that. LOL sorry for the hijack TB!
Agreed, and I do think you could do something.
Productive Member
I struggled with this forever, thinking it was all body fat but in retrospect, how did I not expect to go from obese to skinny via crash dieting and not have loose skin. It's not what you wanna hear but it just takes time. Finally went away and getting thicker abs definitely helped. Took a while - it WILL go away though!
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
Yea, I hear you. If it were just bodyfat, it'd more likely be a big roll as opposed to 6 little crumpled up accordian looking rolls lol. I hate it, but I have no choice but to wait and hope the skin bounces back. I agree with you about building up the abs to fill some of that out. I hardly EVER work abs, but i'm thinking my bodyfat is at a point now where it'd really make a visual difference, so I need to start ASAP!
1x/week? 2x/week?
OMG TB i'm sorry for the hijack - AGAIN. Anybody wants to reply to this, just take it to my thread pls, or PM me.

I have the same problem gb. Pisses me off everyday.
Anabolic Member
Thank you both. I'm still in the "considering" stages.

Excellent progress and you can clearly see the hard work you have put into this, delts look great and condition is fine, areas to work on would be back width and tri's IMHO, best of luck and keep going
Anabolic Member
I lost my pics I'm having trouble with all this, so I hope this fixes it.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~

Looking good in those pics T!
Like GB said... makes me wanna quite cutting and BULK NOW!
I think I'm 2 months away though.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
Exactly the same for me bro - 3 actually. Feb 28th (or whatever the last day is in that weird ass month!) is D-Day for me. This cut CANNOT go beyond that. I better be showing serious bottom abs by that time. =)

Pics tomorrow?
Anabolic Member
You know I'm down for whenever. I haven't made any progress and my energy levels have plummeted, but I've got it all figured out, and I'll let you know what that is later, have a 15 year olds birthday party to go to.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
Next weekend bro - I wanna stay in line with TB and First. =)
LoL I have my 35th to go to tomorrow =(

Saturday's, yes - but not EVERY Saturday lol! Every other, and tomorrow is the 'off' week.
Thanks again man. Yep, i'm getting older, but i'll go into my 35th year in the best shape of my life, and this is just the beginning. They haven't seen 'nuthin' yet. I keep thinking in my head... (Jack Nicholson's joker voice in the original Batman movie) "Wait'll they get a load of me..." =)
Anabolic Member
Happy 35th, I wish I could be there and gift you a Mass Building Super Stack(Enanthate, Deca + D-Bol) with a side GH Kit!
I'm thinking of gifting this to myself for Christmas and running it in January after my mild mass cycle I'm currently on.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
This would be sweet! Hey, there's always next year bro!
Anabolic Member
Gb????
Anabolic Member
Okay, kids, here's my diagnoses, I have stalled out on all my progression and I realized that I haven't adjusted any of my calories based upon the new LBM, so I'm thinking that if I adjust my caloric intake up based upon my new TDEE it should fix the problem. Is this logical thinking???
Also did you read this article in MD, Jan 2011, page 74, Three Meals a Day Best for Weight Loss??
Member
Yeah sounds right. (kinda falls into the category of "duh" right. LOL - I kid)
Break up your goals into percentages for me. I forget what you are really trying to achieve. (EX. 60% working toward fat loss/40%working toward muscle gain)
I always thought you were just going for fat loss but somwhere along the way I think I remember you saying your on cycle.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
100% yes. As body composition changes, so will your TDEE. It always needs to be re-evaluated and adjusted.
Anabolic Member
Yeah, it was a "DUH", I knew that, but wanted to share anyway.
I am on cycle, but have been focusing on fat loss. Although I must say, I've always been a believer in more muscle burns fat!
I did chest/triceps tonight and I started a 5x5 routine last week, so it was my second week on the new program, flat bench was 275lbs for my work sets, and I do my last set to failure to see if I need to up my weight and did 7 reps on my last set, I currently weight 187lbs, so I thought this was pretty good, then on to Incline bench 205lbs for my sets and last set was also 7 reps, then incline dumbbell flyes followed by skull crushers, my flyes are just three sets of 11 reps, I did 30lbs, 35lbs and then 40lbs for my work sets and my skull crushers were ez curl bar plus 50lbs on each side so I guess 115-120lbs depending on the weight of the ez curl bar.
I have been experiencing quite a bit of minor cramping during lifting and am wondering how terrible it would be to throw a banana into my diet?
Now you kinda know what's new with me, give me that feedback so I can dial this bad-boy in!
"AR's Personal Trainer"
Tbody can you give me the breakdown of how your progress has been so far? I mean, what are you measuring your progress with? I can't find anywhere to comment as I see nothing really posted to comment on. I could post whore like all you guys but.... Well maybe I'll do that a little.
Anabolic Member
read post #328, that's still about the most accurate up-to-date info.
The mirror, the belt, the suit, feedback from my wife and from you guys, the guys at the gym, my lifts, people that I see once a week every week with my job, these are all my progress measuring devices.
