I have some quad shots, but I mean honestly my quads always look the same. big.
I’m down to 200 lbs! Which is nice, but I also feel like I’m starting to risk losing muscle, plus I still want to lose about 3 or 4 more lbs. of fat. I wanted to be about 205, but right now it’s looking like I’d have to be about 196 if I continue at this rate. This is also the 5th month I’ve been cutting. I think I need to take a few weeks and retool my program before continuing a cut. Fortunately it only takes a few tweaks, so here’s what I’m going to do:
A.M. conditioning work will now be something like fasted incline treadmill walking. I like doing the explosive conditioning and will keep doing it but putting it in the morning when fasted (even after a water & protein shake) is a bit much for my system to take given that I'm already in a caloric deficit.
I also will probably only do the two-adays on Monday & Thursdays (and may sneak a Saturday in there), which are upper body days. Doing the morning explosive workouts on Tuesdays, before squatting in the PM was just too much.
For the 4 days per week on which I do weighted workouts I'm going to add in some post-workout carbs. I was already doing this Tuesdays after squatting, but will start doing it on Monday (Upper), Thursday (Upper) and Friday (Lower). I'm probably going to add in between 50 and 70g of carbs probably from brown rice, to go with my post workout chicken. You can cut for a while, but at some point it starts to effect levels of thyroid and other hormones. I need to take a few weeks and restore levels back to normal, and restore some glycogen.
I am pleased with my results largely, but I still want to lose a few extra lbs. of fat, and sometimes in order to take a few steps forward you need to take a step back, or in this case stand still since I don't anticipate really putting on any weight really, and certainly no fat.
Are you the love child of Adam Sandler?
well, i know this isn’t SAMA, but i think your butt looks good 
Thanks for making this thread, AQ.
I can’t stop laughing, man. I’m shaking, actually.
Good progress, very consistent.
It’s amazing how desperate your ass was/is holding to bodyfat, though.
With me, my ass leans up pretty fast, but my lower abdomen is somewhat like your ass.
Well, not that bad, but you get the drift…

Lol thanks. My ass is crazy isn’t it? Last summer at one point I was lean enough to have a visible vein running down my lower abdomen onto my dong…and my ass was still like in those pics. Honestly I’m starting to wonder if it’s just huge from all the squatting & deadlifting, and then there’s a thin layer of fat on it. When I grab it, it doesn’t feel all blubbery. Maybe I’ll post a flexed cheek shot next round

I gotta get back to that, I was closing out 400*10 on deadlifting, so my squatting kind of took a back seat. Have you hit it yet?
ages ago mate, bet i will hit a 200lb hang clean push press before you squat 300lbs x10

How close are you on the hang clean PP?
going to try it tomorrow 200lbs/91kg
More rice and lean meats…nice pics though
so,not to make an ass out of myself,but how do you measure bf% on sb who puts the fat on their ass/legs?Do you caliper your ass too?
multiple point calipering. You can see how much I put on my ass, and I get pinched around it a couple of spots.
