Front nine I shot a 46, back nine I’d rather not say. I used to shoot in the low 80s a couple years ago, but I quit playing cold turkey. It’s been a hard road back, but I’m going to get better dammit - Even if it kills me.
I’ll be interested in seeing your results as you have a similar shaped torso to me, i.e. same waist measurement which makes you (and me!) look very square and not V-tapered.
You don’t look from the pics like you have loads of excess fat (obviously you are not shredded, but also you are not obese!). I have found that my waist seems to have got wider as I have got bigger so, although I’ve added muscle, I still look the same shape. I don’t know about you, but I find this very frustrating!
Hopefully you’ll get that V happening and I will be able to as well
Yeah man - Genetics are a bitch, huh? I may never have a great v-taper, but I’m going to do everything I can to accentuate what I have. Compounding matters is the fact that I have an underdeveloped chest and smallish deltoids. Oh well, gotta’ do the best with what you’re dealt, righ?
I don’t have a lot of excess fat, which makes this whole process a lot more difficult. I’m also holding a good percentage of it in my chest/stomach.
Right now I’m thinking about going back to the drawing board on cardio. Still working things out, but I’m probably going to dial it back big time.
I think that’s a good plan. That’s kind of the approach I believe in (but don’t necessarily follow all the time).
There are times where I’ll try to do some form of cardio every day for a week or two, and then I’ll switch it up to where I will do just 1-2 sessions a week on off days.
I also try to vary the type I do. I usually stick to sprints, the bike or the treadmill. So, I’ll throw in a heavy bag session from time to time, a tabata workout or some kind of a complex or body weight EDT-style session.
Like you said, I just try to prevent burning out, keep things fresh and keep the body guessing.

Ya its very hard to break the single digits to be considered ripped. i always thought a steady increase in intensity was best on when cutting…
or example
Week 1&2
1)cut calories 500-1000 & thats it maybe 20 SS PWO
week 3&4
1)remain same calorie deficit
2)start steady state cardio x3 a week
week 5&6
1)Depending on weight loss keep calories the same our cut by 250
2)LISS x3 with added HIIT 1-2 x week
Week 7&8
Same as week 5
LISSx4 HIIT x2
Add ECY Stack
I did this fast but i think u can see the general idea. So u dont get burnt out within the first week.

After being a 5 handicap in high school, I am trying to get back into it now. I kind of stopped when i started lifting. I am in the same boat trying to work back to the low 80’s high 70’s. I played yesterday, I can hit it farther I just cant do much of anything else.
