I’m so much this.
Professor X, is that you?
That’s “Iron Biby” from Burkina Faso (lives in Canada). He just log pressed either 214 or 220 kilos at giants live (can’t remember which). He went after 229 to break Z’s record, but he was gassed by then.
Down 11lbs in 11 weeks. A lot stronger than I was the last time I was at this weight but I don’t think I look as good. Either haven’t seen myself in good lighting or the body dysmorphia is kickin’ in.
Home stretch coming up. How is everyone doing?
Bro, you gotta put sunscreen on.
Well, if I starve myself for the next month I might win…
Well, I took my after pics a few weeks ago. I’m not submitting them in case I improve before June 1st. I just had to stop cutting. Unfortunately, I’ve lost my motivation and I’m on day five of bad eating habits.
I keep telling myself I’m getting back on track but here I am drinking vanilla Crown Royal straight.
I’m alive.
My stomach won’t stop growling.
I’m the same as @Frank_C cut is pretty much done. Off to Bali in 2 weeks so might take some tanned after shots at the end of the holiday !!
Three weeks ago I had lost ~10lbs since January.
As of today I’ve lost ~6lbs since January.
Down 15lbs. Took a week long diet break. Back on diet. Feels bad.
Me too, bro. Me too…
Sounds like I’m the only masochist still dieting, which was kind of why I joined this to begin with. This is always the part where I bail out.
In slight retrospect, this has actually been the easiest cut of my life, as I have avoided almost all extreme approaches and have been focusing more on the process than the outcome. It also has taught me a lot about myself, my relationship with food and the ‘bulking identity’. At this body fat, I am about 5-6lbs heavier than I have been in the past. This does not justify the other 15 lbs gained as I am pretty sure it was a wrong justification of indulgence rather than admitting that I like eating a ton and had a lot of my identity wrapped up in that ‘eat a lot, lift a lot’ persona. I’m getting a bit too deep here…I don’t need a cheat day as much as I need Passover to be over. I want a sandwich…
I’m half way my 2 months cut with Wendler’s prep and fat loss training. I’m down 15 lbs and I’m trying to lose another 5-8. I did not work out for a month before starting 5/3/1 again because I literally crashed due to stressful life, night and double shifts at my job and soccer season.
I’m fairly certain you can over eat for 16 weeks then fast for 8 weeks and it’s called 16/8 intermittent fasting. It’s pretty popular from what I hear.
Im still going to the end of this month, not next though. My wife is having our baby first week of next month and I think its a bit too much to prioritize my shredded abs over taking care of the family.
I’m not gonna fall off the wagon but I just wont be going 100% after that. My body weight is doing weird stuff, but I’m still losing inches so im all good.
Congrats! My wife is due at the beginning of July, and she made it abundantly clear that I was not going to be cutting while she “gets fat” (read: gets pregnant).
We will begin our cut together after things normalize (expecting late July, early August).
I’ve been enjoying my time hovering around maintenance calories. Even though weight has been steady, I think my different training approach (higher focus on accessories) has helped the physique a bit, so not a complete fail for T-ransformation, I hope.
I was watching Naked and Afraid the other day and thought “that’s the ticket”.
