Triceps used to suck and now they’re becoming a better bodypart.

43

Idk why all these pics get blown up huge every time I post. O well.

44

Was so hungry tonight. Had an extra meal and it was kind big, do I feel guilty, no. I weigh less tonight than yesterday morning, but sometimes this dieting shit is a mind fuck.

Reason being, you want to lose the fat so fast, you almost don’t want to eat at all. I have to keep reminding myself, I need to recover and food is not the enemy!!!

4 eggs, 1.5-2 potatoes, 2 strawberries, a gala apple, carrots and celery, 2 oz peanuts, 6 oz roast beef.

Cardio was 2 mile walk, 30 minutes like I said earlier.

Chest/Triceps/Delts tomorrow!

Subscribed. Awesome progress happening here, you’re definitely going to look fitness model at 190-195. Do you have anything planned like a competition, or a photo shoot, or anything like that, or just get in amazing shape?

Thanks bro.

A few goals;

Amazing shape first and foremost and maintaining that leanness even when I focus on bumping calories again and gaining more muscle.

The leaner I am the better I feel physically and mentally. I take a “look good feel good” approach to life.

Then I wan to look like the models on all those websites simplyshredded, cutandjacked, spotmebro, and see if I can do some fitness modeling or something along those lines on the side.

47

Might can the FMC this morning and just do one big cardio session tonight.

Working out later, I’ll video the benching. I’m hoping to rep 315 a lot of times.

Was annoyed at the scale this morning.

It was reading the I lost anywhere between 1.2-2 pounds from yesterday which is like impossible.

So I picked it up from where I typically weigh myself and put it somewhere else. Well magically I gained 5 pounds in the new room, and now it’s reading heavier everywhere.

It’s funny I went to bed a 210.2 and woke up at 214 when I moved my scale…So we get the point, I might have to buy a new one.

Session 1 of 3. I didn’t do FMC today because something came up.

So it’ll look like this. Chest/Tri, Delts tonight, 45-60 cardio after dinner.

Scales typically cannot zero-out if they are essentially ‘floating’ on carpet or anything else that yields once you step on. What type of scale do you currently have?

Not sure the brand lol. But this sucks because now I don’t know how much I weigh to judge progress… O well I guess I’ll stick to waist measurements and the mirror. I am definitely at my leanest today.

54

Will probably hit legs later…in the meantime.

55

Hit some squats and called it quits yesterday. Shitty workout, low energy, bad sleep…Then I ate a big cheat meal and dessert. Not the best day, but I needed it. Woke up leaner today, and I feel good.

Did FMC for 40 minutes

Next few days I won’t be lifting or posting much, well not until Tuesday unless I have time. Very busy packing and getting ready to make the move back up to school.

Same goals here, whats you opinion on the whole IF’ and when your biggest meal comes into play.

I personally have started spacing out where I work out thru the last hour of my fast and try to eat a huge post workout meal. I work out earlier in the day, I’ve been thinking about applying some backloading to the IF and eating low carb all day and hitting the high carbs at night in one meal before I start my fast. Not sure if I feel comfy doing it tho lol.

What’s up Mike.

Idealy I’d like to always eat my biggest meal Post WO. I was normally having a light moderate carb breakfast at 2pm, (when I began eating). Would have some caffeine, train 4 o’clock, then eat a bigger and higher carb dinner. Pre ped would be no carbs, eggs and veggies, ground beef and veggies etc.

Reason being, I can get those insulin levels low earlier on the fast which is great for fat burning. Also, I do not know how much it helps but since GH production increases at low insulin levels and GH is very important for fats, and GH levels peak when you are sleeping; I was avoiding carbs before bed.

At school, I will have a very strict diet counting cals for the first time in this current diet of mine. I have things mapped out.

I may not IF anymore just with my class schedule. It’s up in the air so far. It works, but other things work just as well too.

58

Driving back to school right now.

I planned my diet, wrote it in word.

2800 cals 5 days a week

300p/200c/90f

3200 cals 2 high carb days

275p/325c/90f

Starts today. 4 meals per day.

If I have time back and biceps tonight. Lets ****ing shredddd

Looked my best this morning despite being a pound heavier.

59

Awesome workout.

Back to school. Took some pre-workout to fight the tiredness. Gnarly ass pump, killed back width and biceps.
