This is my first post, so please be gentle :-). I have been a lurker for a while now, and I think I finally have something worth posting.
Like some of you, I am a big gaming fan. So my goal for Halloween this year was to be Kratos from the game God of War. Taking a good look at myself earlier this year, I knew I sure didn’t look like Kratos.

I have been always trying to ‘cut’ but never really doing it. I knew I was not in the low bf range, but if I just lost a couple pounds, I would be set. Looking back? I was far from right. I definitely underestimated the amount of muscle I had because it was nicely surrounded by a healthy helping of fat.

My quest for Kratos began shortly after following Gus’ transformation. He is amazing. His determination, willpower, and positive attitude led me to believe that, “If he could do this, I have no excuses.” My GF, who is amazingly supportive, chose to follow exactly what I was going to do (or maybe she just didnot want to see me lose weight while she didn’t :-))
The diet:

V-Diet & Precision Nutrition Principles afterward

The workouts:
Do the workouts CW & CTT created for Gus during his transformation.
Results:
5.14.08
208 lbs
Approx 18-20% bf
10.31.08
170lbs (after water manipulation) 174 before
Approx: 9-10%
Total lbs lost: 34 (38 after water manipulation).
Fat 26.3
Muscle 7.7

Current goal is do the Beast Building Program by CT and eat like I don’t give a damn. Without T-Nation and the people on the forums (shout out to Gus!), there would be no way I’d be in the current state I’m in.
Any sort of feedback/things I should work on would be great.
Thank you all!

Great job there, well done indeed. I would take it easy on the “eat like I don’t give a damn” comments though, they’ll only get you in trouble around here! Bulking or not! Keep pushing, and god speed to you.
Z-man.

perhaps he is wearing his shorts super super low which makes his back look longer? not to say his back isn’t long but y’know… clothing can be deceiving
