So did you not train on this day?
Nope, the gym was closed, and it was Christmas. It’s the only time I’ll backload on a non training day.
Your backload was 250g? You lost 10lbs doesnt that put you a bit higher than 250?
Ha funny you should mention that, technically it puts me at 909g for a base. But I’m trying to lean up. So I’m going to be eating fewer carbs. Also, I’ve jumped back up to 234 scale weight.
You look like 2 different people from the back and from the front.
From the back, V-Taper with small love handles on the lower back. From the front, less V-Taper visible yet a leaner midsection.
Is there a discrepancy in when you took the pictures time wise or were you pulling your shoulders back in the front shot ?
I’m not trying to be overly critical or be a dick, because it looks like you are pretty lean already and should be able to sport noticeable definition relatively quickly.
I noticed the same thing. Funny thing i have the exact opposite. Less lean front and leaner back.
Those carbs sound a lot closer to what i figured. From what i have seen you want to over shoot your carbs the first couple times to get a feel for it even if you are doing the SA phase. Many times the amount of carbs you can eat are much higher. Also gives you a place to cut back once losses stall
Yeah I know about the love handle thing. I’ve always had broad shoulders so that accounts for some of the taper. I tried to make sure the posture was the same for all 3 pics, and they were taken at the same time. I’ve always had the handles. Thanks for saying they seem small, because to me they’re enormous. It’s getting better though. I’m working on it lol.
I can try to eat more carbs tonight. It’s tough getting in almost a thousand grams in just a few hours before bed. I’m making pasta tonight with a lady friend, so maybe I can show some of my potential as a good mate by eating a stupid large amount of food, hitting some poses and rolling up one of her frying pans. That way she knows I’ll be able to produce strong offspring and I can protect her from other males.
Oh and on a lighter note. Yeah I was concerned about the scale weight, but then I remembered after eating like I did for 2 days I’m still 3 pounds lighter than when I started. AND my gym energy is back to awesome, so that’s a plus.
Yeah that all sounds like you should impress her. 1000g of carbs is a ton to pound. That is one of the reasons he reccomends junk because it easy to pack that in. But 1000g from oats and rice and potatoes would be a lot of food.

Certainly not a lot of fat by any means, 2 months or less and you should be able to lose it. I am also in Ryan’s boat with more visible flab from the front than from the back.

After the initial bloat, my morning weight was at about 234. After a few days of the backloading and one off day it’s dropped 2 pounds. So that’s good. But the real test will be on Sunday when I take another picture and weight update. But so far yeah it’s bitchin. I also bought some sticky rice that I’ll try using to keep it cleaner as well.
That sounds pretty good. I dunno how much progress can be made in a week. But the pics in about a month will really be the story.
