Dude I remember seeing you at a soft 216, what a transformation!
Thank man!! Miss you
Peeled as ballssss
Peteeeee
Looking great!! How many pounds did you come down
I was 216 (@ 5’7) when I started and now I’m 183. So 30 something pounds
Bro, shredded! How low did your calories get? What about carbs?
Pretty low after about 4 1/2 months! 1800 on training days and 1600/1500 on days off.
Hey dog, I just did the same diet more or less. You look better than me man. Well done Dick Root.
Jesus man. I would die. I haven’t gone below 3500 a day yet. These last few days I’m gonna drop to 3000 and suffer. Have you ever had your BMR tested? That seems awfully low on cals for someone with as much muscle as you
You're gonna suffer on 3000 calories are you, are you really?! motherfucker I'm jealous as shit. I've come down to 212lbs from 276lbs in 29 weeks and I'm suffering on 2000cals on training days and 1600 on off days. Might be time to up the reta dose!
My BMR is 3,000. I do cardio every day, lift 5 days a week, and get about 20,000 steps a day. Maintenance for me is roughly 4500
fucking shredded!! I bet you are hungry AF!!! go eat my man, you deserve it
Thank you bro! Just gotta try and not go over board coming out of the diet.
You quit on me?!? Ass….
Hahaha bro I am. You win I gotta get the belly button piercing lol
My next dexa is scheduled for Monday. It better be in the 5s or I’m gonna cry and eat the technician doing the scan
BIG bro, you’re looking sharp
Rebound phase is gonna fit beautifully now because you’re definitely lean. Usually the leaner you get before reversing food, the better the nutrient partitioning, insulin sensitivity and overall quality of growth tends to be.
Sleep at this stage is brutal for sure lmao
That waking up hungry at 2-3am while depleted is almost a rite of passage at this point.
How deep did you push calories during the cut? 2200? 2000? Did you do any carb cycling or zero/very low carb phases during the process?
And if you haven’t tried something like this yet, this combo has helped me a lot during aggressive cuts/rebounds:
15g glycine
5mg melatonin
200mg l-theanine
300mg ashwagandha
400mg magnesium glycinate
50-100mg valerian root
100mg 5-HTP
100mg GABA
And GH pre bed if you’re still running it.
If nothing works… last case scenario I’ve used Ambien before and it helped me a lot too, but obviously with caution/respect.
Definitely looks like you did the cut the right way brother. Nice work, BIG bro!
Gh before bed I’ll try that tonight bro!
So at the end training days (4 days a week - 3 off days (calories were 1800 cals.
2 of the off days food was at 1600. One off day would be “low-low” day at 1500.
So I usually low carb - super high protein - low fats like 10-14 days straight. Then when I wake up and I can’t even stand up I’m so tired I would do a high carb day. Well high carbs being 220 lol can’t really eat more with out going over cals.
Still made mistakes this go and will apply towards year! Appreciate your in put bro-bro. Trying to be huuuuge like you
Hey how quickly would you add back the calories in rebounding?
Bro… I’d probably keep the carb cycling structure and slowly push calories up mostly through carbs and protein while keeping fats relatively low at first, same approach you’re already using…
Basically bump the high days first, then adjust medium/low days accordingly. Something like +200-300 calories every week or so depending how your body responds. (Till hit maintenance…then slowly progress towards 10-20% surplus) IMO..
That would personally be my approach after a cut like yours.
But everyone is different brother, you know…so…you gotta test it on yourself and see how YOU feel/respond.
Usually if fats stay controlled and food increases progressively, you rebound with way better quality, stay fuller/harder and avoid getting instantly watery and sloppy…
And btw bodybuilding is an illusion anyway bro lmao … I still feel small and needing to grow too. We’re all just constantly progressing little by little trying to get better every year.
100% bro bro.
WEED ME UP when I can’t sleep lol
Yup same, never get the munchies either if it's right before bed. Live resin indica carts for the win.
Brooo…That’s definitely one option
Problem is when you’re deep in a deficit and ghrelin is already destroying you… weed can turn you into a vacuum cleaner at 2am and completely nuke the cut.
And some people simply can’t resist the hunger side effects from THC once it kicks in… lol
If calories aren’t super low though, it can help a lot for sleep for sure.
Or.. it makes you want to stay up, drink beer, and play video games. Even Indica makes me want to "party", Sativa just makes me anxious and paranoid.
Lol
Slutty girl!
H O L D M E
PAINT ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS
Looking knarly bro
Great fucking work.
Looking fucking awesome bro!
My man!
Sick physique dude!
Too kind my man have a great day
Whoops, I just popped a boner at work. Them rebound gains are gonna be glorious too. This is exactly the motivation I need before starting my cut next week. Fridge-worthy.
Tag me on your progress pics bro I don’t miss anything. +1
Killed it brother. motivating!
Thanks Gainz!
Looking like a whole new person even from the last pic update. Absolutely killer.
I did start the IGF1 on Monday it’s already swelling me up lol
I know absolutely jack squat about GLP1s other than the basics lol. Was thinking about utilizing one for my next cut this fall, but I feel like there's so much to learn
Lookin Really Good matey - You gonna be going out on the town and pulling some Slags or what then??! LMAO
Bro lol I love that British term slag lmao cracking me up
HAHAHAHHA They hate being called that .....
In British English, slag is a highly offensive and derogatory slang term usually directed at women to suggest they are promiscuous (similar to "slut" or "tramp")
Even better is 'Fat Fuckin Slag' if you really wanna go in for the kill shot ....
Nice work bro. Peeled to the bone. Respect +1
Thanks man!
Little lower on the pants.
Looking shredded man. Ur gonna have a hell of a bulk
Shit was brutal man been framing about food 24/7. The other night for 8 hours I dreamt about preparing a grilled cheese sandwich. When I woke up and realized there was no grilled cheeses I wanted to KMS
Solid core. I need your ab routine.
