thats what happened!! that turkey leg was to me like crack to a fiend fresh out the pen
I get it man... I really do.
Excellent points bruh.
I find a lot of folks over-complicate this body building stuff. It really boils down to trial and error. There's a little basic science but it's mostly an art and it's very individual. Which is why some shit may work like gang busters for one dude and the exact same routine may deliver nothing but frustration to the next dude.
oh and before i fall back because im starting to crowd this thread
WATER WATER WATER
it flushes your system out good,regular bowel movements etc etc.
at one point i was drinking 1 gallon of water a day.

hmm i wonder if weight lifting is wise for me at this moment
Keep trying.

building and maintaining muscle burns fat. it also makes you want to eat more. so you just have to be disciplined and find a balance of daily calorie intake that will maintain your muscle but not too much to store fat.
find that balance and you'll accelerate your fat loss.

To be honest you where over doing everything. Get a Heart Rate Monitor and you will be surprised how much less intensity you will need to burn fat. Down load Fitday. It's on the board and start monitoring what you eat. It's great to eat clean. But eating below maintenance will cause wait lost. It's that easy. LINK You can eat Twinkies and as long as you eat below maintenance you will lose wait. But that's NOT the best way. I have a cheat meal ever week. I don't do a whole day. I will eat Thai with white rice once a week but I skip breakfast that day. It's a lifestyle change not prison.
Lifting Heavy is 6 - 8 Reps to Failure. If you make it to 8 Reps add weight. Cardio after lifting only, as much as you want but you need to be in the fat burning zone.
Get yo ass back to it. Fucking up is part of life. You will fuck up again too. But quitting is not a option. I'm going to work out.
one
Here are some pics (not mine)
Step 1: cut from 213-166ibs
Step 2: Bulk from 166-233ibs
Step 3: Cut from 233-198ibs-my current weight
1 year change
Diet
In step one (213-166) I ate many small meals every day. And kcal intake was about 1000 aday.
Food looked like:
Cottage cheese/quark
Tuna in water
Egg whites
And lots of broccoli
In step 3 (233-198) I tryed a diffrent diet IF, and I strongly recomend it! Kcal intake was 1500-2000.
Food was like:
Meat
Chicken
Cottage cheese/Quark
Cheese
Eggs
And lots of vegtebels
Suplements has been:
Creatine
Whey
BCAA
Omega 3
Multi vitamin
Cardio
In step 1 (213-166) i was obssesed with the tought of getting fit, so i rushed my diet with loads of cardio, twice aday I took long fast walks, morning and evening. About 70 min each time.
In step 3 (233-198)
I maybe took 3 walks every week for about an hour each time, and i wasnt so obssesed with getting fit fast, and i must say i liked this approach much more!
Work out
Been keeping it pretty simple, during the cuts i have been doing low reps to keep my strength.
During the bulk i have switched betweeen low reps and high reps.
Bench, deadlifts, and squats have been the base of my workouts.

Just started working out.
In this picture I was in my basement punching a bag with cheap work gloves on.
After:
To enhance my martial arts, and I used to be overweight. I was in good shape until my thirties, then because of inactivity and bad eating habits my weight ballooned to 258 pounds. I joined a gym, that's where I met my MMA instructor and we worked out and did kickboxing and jujitsu. The weight slowly came off over the next 3 years with 80-90 pounds of fat lost and then 15-20 pounds of muscle gained.

nice transformation.
Progress has been going well so far. Even tho I still have an tire around my mid section, I leaned up nicely. My cheat days are nothing like my cheat days before...I haven't even really had any cravings for sweets lately. Stuffed my face yesterday with 12 raspberry filled cookies (1,200 cal) within 10 minutes.
Man if I can keep this up for 3 months, I won't even have to worry about getting in shape for next summer. 4 more days to complete week 2.

this thread has me motivated; i'm in a similar situation as fuckyou; bout to shed these pounds with the swiftness. main reason why i am going to upload pics of the scale is for accountability and to track my progress.
from wednesday 9/22
today 9/24
Major props! I'm rooting for all y'all.
I do a cheat meal. A day would be too much right now. Even when I eat dirty I try to stay at maintenance calories by skipping meals. But you know what your doing. You'll be alright.
(Not Mine)
I lost 70lbs total weight and put on lots of muscle. lost almost 20% BF....
250lbs
180lbs
took me 1 full year to achieve this. lifting heavy weights every day and trying to cut out all the **** in my diet and eat better. hard work but worth every min.
LINK
I think this kat had the most amazing results in the shortest time.
Man cats getting cut quick. I been slipping so i need to step my shit back up. I'm in shape and workout everyday. But i need to go back to my bowl of oatmeal in the morning, fruits and veggies through the day and grilled/baked chicken and fish at dinner. Lots of broccoli. Fuck that I'm going to get some broccoli and carrots now.

Up by 5lbs but I ain't sweating it. Fucked up and ended having a cheat weekend but hey you gotta enjoy life. I have been lifting what I consider heavy weight for the past 3 weeks and now switching to a high rep (10-20) routine for a week or two to heal my muscles.
I love high reps because with all that blood circulating, I look huge. Slowly leaning down but for fucking up this weekend I'm doing a straight keto diet till Saturday...Honestly I don't even think I've hit a ketosis state since beginning my journey to 185lbs.
Goals, I've been really working on my pull ups because I suck at them. I would like to be able to do 10 pull ups for 5 sets with 25lbs of weight by January. I gotta step up my cardio too, I want to be able to run a sub 6 minute mile by January.

195.8lbs (Cell phone died)
I'm not losing weight anywhere fast as the first time around on Keto diet, but I'm still noticing fat loss. Had a cheat weekend, doing that all the time now because a cheat day isn't enough with my odd schedule and football season underway. 1 week away from a month, 2 more to go...

Good shit, I thought we lost you.
Not trying to burst anyones bubble, but a lot of those cat's are using steriods while they diet down to those low ass body fat percentages. I'm not saying that it cant be done without them, but to really retain your muscle mass and get shreded, you need the juice and a low carb diet, or targeted keto diet. Dont just change how you eat and workout till you loose the weight, make it a lifestyle change.......... just my two cents. Keep up the good work fella's.
Are you using the Ketosis strips?

that Atkins Company went from riches to bankruptcy for a reason. people wised up to the hazards of eating all that genetically modified meat that's sold in america along with other health reasons.
been saying it all along.
here is the answer to your quest.
No, I read that they were unneccesary.
Signs that you are in ketosis
Bad breath
Taste like you've been eating coins
Dry mouth
Stinky Pee
Dark Pee
Abundance of energy
One more fucking day and I can pig the fuck out. Stepped my cardio up this week.
Missed 3 days of the gym this week when I was doing so well...FUCK!
Making more progress...I'm estimating it's going to take me at max 6 months to reach a
body that I imagine...Don't think I can last that long tho.
My left arm contines to grow in size while my right refuses to. It's definitely a tricep problem. I don't want to become this guy

that spike in weight was probably just water weight,if u were eating out more than likely u were eating salt filled foods which cause water retention,no way u gain 8 lbs from one bad weekend.
picked up those CLA pills myself.
