Sorry Mac, I tried.
Wow Bug… I don’t even want to call you Bug, sounds like an oxymoron.
Looking vedy nice, you haz the pumpz.
But yeah, I’m hoping to be done at the end of May too. You got a headstart on me though… well not really but that’s my excuse.
Damn Bug, new avi is looking huge. Your middle traps are popping out in a Yates-esque manner. lol.
Lol Nikki, w/e. You’re leaner than me.
Thanks guys. I have a decent lat spread, I’m just ready for it to lean out s’more.
Onwards and upwards!

I asked the same question, here’s the link to the response. Go to the middle of the page, you’ll see a pic of the setup.

Gotcha! Sad part is that I read that page last week. FML I’m getting old…
Bug - You think you are going to stay on the leangains approach all through the diet or will you make the switch back to a more traditional diet for the home stretch? Once you get to the bf% you want then what? Bulk again or slow lean gains keeping bf% low?
Thanks for willing to help! 
Its like a whole secret world over there TONS of reading to do, yep!
Mateus, basic plan is this:
Stick to leangains for duration of diet. By May 30, be shredded, lol, at whatever weight that happens to be (sub 200lbs fml).
When I get to shredsville, start adding back in some more calories (bump up a couple hundred a week probably), and get back to maintenance levels. Drop cardio back down to low levels (prob 3x a week, 35min sessions). Will likely stick with leangains still IF’ing during this period. Continue this maintenance period through the summer months (for sure June/July, possibly into August) with the goal of the skin tightening up and my body getting used to being this lean. Also, it’ll be nice to look awesome during the hot Texas summer. The focus during this period will also be on regaining back some lost strength as best I can.
Once the fall comes, big things are planned for gaining. Stay tuned.

OOOOHHHHH…Cliffhanger! Same plan here except not doing the leangains (have done it before). I would love to hold 7-8% and slowly gain. Don’t think I want to do the bulk thing anymore.
Hows this for a refeed meal!
^^ That is so sexy.
damn… I’ve been packing and moving for a week now and I get back into the Training Logs and I see that you stole my old back progress picture, shrunk it down a little to make it look tiny/weak and then used it as your current avatar. you sneaky bastard!
<3
Mateus, 7-8% seems ambitious for my body (I don’t even know how emaciated I would look that lean, lol), but yeah, somewhere between 8-10% would be nice. Sexy refeed meal.
Greg, glad to have you back big sexy.

Death. Sat for 10 min. catching my breath, downed 30g of whey and walked home.
Nothing like walking anywhere after a leg day like that. Damn good work, man.
Also, that lat spread is ridiculous.
God damn double post. My “b”
405 x 6 is no joke, awesome job.
SAYS THE GUY WHO HIT IT FOR 6 WITH A 3SEC DESCENT DIE.
no really, thanks, but I used to be a much stronger squatter. I think I’ve hit 405x12 and 455x6 at my peak.
But you, sir, are a fucking freak under the bar. <3
Pretty strong squats, bug. Do you do the leg curls before to kind of “feel” the hams working for squats?
Ha, thanks dude. I’m sure you’ll pass that up in no time.
Uhm, no not necessarily. I like starting legs off with an isolation movement to get blood into the legs before doing a big movement like squats. I guess it helps that the hammies are activated but I don’t necessarily think I “feel” them during squats. I’m just worried about moving the weight at this point.
Just saw your avi. Decided I’m going to quit lifting weights FML
