Eric's 'Stepping it Up' Fat-Loss Journal

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding
1

Hey dudes and ladies. Since October, I’ve really leaned up, dropping a lot of fat while adding some decent lean mass at the same time. However, I feel it’s time for a change of pace.

Now I’m going to focus on purely losing fat. This doesn’t mean that I’m going manorexic, but I want this Summer to be the first one that I’m proud to take my shirt off. So I’m “Stepping It Up” in my fat-loss efforts and will take all the necessary steps to protect the muscle I have during the process. Anyways, here’s a quick diet outline…

Meal 1 -
1 1/2 Cups Liquid Egg Whites
1 Scoop of ON Whey
10g BCAAs
10g Fish Oil

During Workout - 20g BCAAs

Meal 2 - Postworkout
2 Scoops ON Whey
20g BCAAs
10g Glutamine
1 Serving MCT Fuel

Meal 3 -
8oz Ground Turkey
1 Cup Broccoli

Meal 4 -
2 Scoops Metabolic Drive
1 tbsp Natural PB
5g Fish Oil

Meal 5 -
8oz Turkey
1 Cucumber
5g Fish Oil

Meal 6 -
2 Scoops Metabolic Drive
1 tbsp Coconut Oil
5g Fish Oil

The carbs will go up on days I have to perform, even though it will all be from protein bars. Otherwise, I will have one real high carb day on Sunday.

As far as supplements go, I take a ton of them so I won’t bore you with the details. I will tell you however that HOT-ROX is a staple.

I’ll be training 3-4 days a week, employing lots of supersets and tri-sets with very short periods of rest. Because of this style of training and my reduced caloric intake, I won’t be doing any cardio. I wrestle pretty much every weekend anyways, so activity isn’t an issue.

So that’s that, I’ll be updating this thing periodically. Any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Thanks for reading!!

Damn, I’m surprised how few vegetables you’re planning on eating. I eat like 6 cups of broccoli/green beans per day. What’s your rationale for this, especially since they might help you feel fuller on such a low carb/calorie diet?

Eating every 2-3 hours and drinking copious amounts of water is more than enough to help me stay full. Lately I’ve been thinking about buy some Greens+ or Superfood though.

Update:

Energy levels are still good, although I do have to note some extreme soreness. I’m not sure if it’s because of teh lack of carbohydrates or my new superset-based split. Probably more the latter than anything.

Especially my quad day, it went like this:

A1. Leg Press(One leg at a time) - 4 x 8
A2. Prisoner Squat - 4 x 10

B1. Bodyweight Lunge - 4 x 8
B2. Sissy Squat(Unweighted) - 4 x 8

I know it doesn’t look like much, but Jesus I can barely unlock my knees while walking down the stairs.

New pictures are coming tommorow. Stay tuned!
