100 % agree with both statements.
Losing fat is easy and also more noticeable in the short term compared to trying to put on muscle.

Got it in one man
Fat loss is just training hard and eating less.
Both of them cultivate the ability to embrace and endure misery
Muscle gain, so many variables come into play
Financial expenditure, mitigating fat gain and the anxiety that come with now having to train even harder

Yup!
The intensity for fat loss training is the intensity that tells the body āthis muscle is important: donāt give it up.ā
The intensity of training for muscle gain is the intensity that tells the body āWe donāt have enough muscle: make more or we will dieā
And if the body will only make more muscle to prevent it from dying, you have to train it hard enough that it almost dies from the training.
That is HARD training.

True poetry my man
As an aside, the most profound natty physiques I see on here for example are the guys who break the rules on conventional training and push things to the limit.
These guys also NEVER start threads asking for advice
Funny that

100 burpees and 100 squats in 7.15

Hey man, just a quick question - are these 100 burpees / 100 squats representative of the āshorter, more intenseā burpee routines youāre doing during cutting or do they it include somewhat higher volume than this?

Thatās a great question and i appreciate you putting it out there mate
That particular session was a test. I rarely go at that throttle as you can probably tell by the way I was at the end of the workout.
I try to keep the intensity high during a 20 minute session however my volume, by my previous standards is low.
Endurance to me nowadays is going 300+ at a methodical pace.
If I want to increase the intensity while slowing down the execution of a burpee then Iām going to go unbroken. That means I can cram in good volume while keeping intensity high
Iām starting to push the idea that the 6 count should be slowed down by using a pause on every point of contact. Almost similar to the 80/20 approach that runners use. I think that ultimately will will result in bigger dividends.
I hope this helps mate?

Sitting tight at the 146lb mark
Plan for next 2 weeks is to go maintenance mode and allow my body to get used to this weight while at the same time, allowing me to train harder

Fantastic work! Mixing up the methods is a great way to really just keep the chaos going and keep the body off-balance. That clean you do is SUPER unforgiving as well.

Physique is starting to get crazy now. As @T3hPwnisher has already said, every lb makes a massive difference.
I think Iām going to look freaky at the 140-141lb region

Have hit a wall today. This week even.
2 things.
The calorie deficit has either caught up with me or those 500 unbroken burpees have hit me hard.
Toying with the idea of throwing my transformation pics up. Reason being that I am becoming bored with the limitations that this deficit is placing upon my training
I want to train harder. Particularly in the gym. I am not laying down tissue at this point and itās making the gym work seem like a job.
I want to drive myself into the ground with training. Not limiting food intake.
I want to grow now.
Fat loss is ticking over time. Now I crave that full throttle, train 3 times a day insanity coupled with more consumption of fuel
I also have to factor in family obligations, diet wise as well. It will eventually become an issue if I continue.
These are the last physique photos Iām posting for the fat loss phase. I think Iāve peaked.
