Tweethow quickly would you say someone can drop 5% bf w/ minimal muscle loss? body type: ectomorph.
TweetI was having a very hard time getting re-motivated to get back on my diet, back to training, taking my supplements etc since I got sick and then went to Mexico for Christmas. So I just spent the last 30-40 minutes reading this entire thread and it inspired me to get my fat ass back in the gym, on the treadmill, eating right and taking my needed supplements.
I want to say to guns01, thank you Brother!! Although we have never even been in the same room, you have kicked me in the ass and got me back on track. Gotta pack up and get to the gym, weights and cardio are calling!!
Tweethow quickly would you say someone can drop 5% bf w/ minimal muscle loss? body type: ectomorph.
Tweetman g that is some serious training and eating bro!! i love it and it definitely helps motivate me as well!! i'll definitely be following... can't wait to see some pics
TweetI need those squat numbers.
Am I reading it correctly? 500lbs for 3 sets of 10.
Tweetyeah that is correct man. i can squat some serious weight for pretty weight but i usually only go up above 315-405 about every 3 or 4 months. i try to keep squats toward the end of my workouts now so the weights are not as heavy to protect the wear and tear on my knees. i have already built pretty big and thick wheels at this point so i am just bringing the up a little more each year and focusing more so on the seperation and density for the rest of the time
Tweetyikes man. a whole lot of variables on that to give a real number. for us we normally drop low and slow with about 1-3lbs a wk. the thing that sucks is the methods you need to drop bf fast are also going to cause quite a bit of muscle loss with it. best suggestion i could give is to find what your bodies maintaince need for carbs is and cut that by 50. obviously you still need 1.5-2g of pro per pound of lean mass and just a touch of healthy fat. that will get you headed where you want to be
Tweetthanks man. this is going to be the best finished product by far and i always tear it up every year anyway. looking for 3-5 more pounds to hit the top of the heavies and the same conditioning i always bring. this is the key to killing it
Tweetthanks man. last spring i cut 25 lbs in 3 months, and the feedback i was getting was that i could have done that much faster. however i never reached my goal for that, and am starting to look into doing another cutter this spring, so your feedback helps. i didnt get my bf% before i started so i dont know how much of that actually dropped. anywase i appreciate the response.
Tweetjust reading the thread again... wow!! all i can say right now lol
Tweetshoot me your stats and i will put you on the right path. my way, is far less painful and you will save more lean mass in the long run and not be ready to eat your cpu couch or pets for the most part haha

Tweetdamn thats a work out right there......guess i need to step it up some more
With Hard work and Dedication you to can achieve GREATNESS......
Tweeti am glad we got a good following rolling along here and that i can motivate and help people with the monster making part and transition over to freaky shredded mode. sucks to make the transition but it is all part of the process.
am fasted only cardio today:
20 minutes step mil glutes only. calves are still wrecked to pieces haha.
i enjoyed a blueberry black coffee from dd this am post cardio for a small treat. sad but black coffee is a treat with the sugar free flavoring in it.
Tweetok cardio only today. for you guys that know me i am a stickler for doing things the right way or not getting in my way. if you are doing so and making yourself better than i will yield to you and not get the least bit irritated. well i go in for my cardio and low and behold their is two fatties on the step mills. well normally it wouldnt be a problem but they are laying over the top of it and going slower than i do. that irritates the crap out of me cause they could be walking on the treadmill or doing something else. sorry for the rant but it makes me nuts that people get in the way and just waste a ton of their time and mine as well. oh and both male and female were wearing spandex and tank tops.. good on them hahah
20 minute treadmill full incline 2.8mph with glute calf twist
Tweetthis is a breakdown that one of my friends did for a barney still setup of how i am eating now. i do write down each and every meal and track macros but i normally dont post it up. this is what he put up for me:
I was just reading through this "pre cut meal plan" So, you are starving? Here are the numbers of what you are eating. Guys like you that can eat a side of beef and still feel hungry blow my mind.
Total calories 6322
Total pro 726 grams (say what? Damn!!)
Total carb 216 ( reason for being hungry)
Fats from coconut oil 55
Other fats from the meats not sure didn't count it.
Just think you are going to drop weight on 6300 calories a day. I would say give it a few weeks and you will be looking sharp by month end. If you get nervous as you drop add more oil or another cup of oats.
Talk about freakness in our sport. You my friend set the bar very high. What are you 265# now and 10% or less? "Massive" is the single best word to describe Guns.
Doing this pre cut like you said will add to your best look come show times.
Enjoy the ride it might get bumpy but nothing you can't handle.
