^ not bad… it also seems to have made you more tan.
I’m definitely going to give it a shot. It seems like you used it as a jump start. I am trying a different approach (I’m not sure if it’s right or not, but worth a try I guess). I plan to keep cutting (basically 1/24-4/1) and then hit the V diet as a boost in April. I will use May as the final clean-up month. I will likely look like Frank Zane then by June 1st :).
Thanks for posting your experience and results. I will be keeping my updates in my training log and look forward to the next check-in.
On a side note, I will be paying close attention to my FUCKING shirt so that it does not appear to be a mother-fucking One Direction or Need Dick shirt (FUCK!).

Lol, it’s just the lighting. I took the before pics in the morning when it was brighter. Overall I don’t think the pictures show a whole heck of a lot of change. That said I’ll have to take measurements because I’m sure I’ve lost at least an inch or two off the waist.
This wasn’t necessarily a spring board to anything. It was really just an experiment to see how quickly the fat would come off. I’ve never really dieted before, but now I know I’m still 4-6 weeks away from where I’d like to be.

Okay I’ll play. Here’s me, bodyweight 166 this morning, I’m back to about the leanest I’ve ever been but about 5 pounds heavier than last time and significantly stronger. Recent PR’s include 350 pound bench, 425 squat and 555 deadlift. Going to compete in my first PL meet in July.[/quote]
Damn that bench at that weight in that condition… great work man

what’s happened to your motivation?[/quote]
Well im still hitting the gym with the same frequency just dont have the same exitement when I go. Some people may say this is a defeatest attitude, but I can only see myself making minimal progress with optimal nutrition and exercise and the effort it takes to do that is not something I have as much as a passion for. Im just okay with maintaining what I have and being less rigid with everything. I have complete respect and am impressed with the guys that can go that way though I just dont have that same desire anymore which I am okay with.

Hey thanks a lot man! You’re still looking awesome as well… I hear you on the motivation thing, I go through phases of that too, key seems to be making the diet fairly easy and flexible, and finding a workout program that makes you really enjoy being in the gym.

Thanks, my diet has definitely been flexible haha. From wal-mart to gas station to McDonalds. I’m lucky I can get away with that as much as I do. But I get you I just need to find something to make it more fun again.
