Regards,
Zozom.

i looked at your video.. nice work.. you look good..

i gotta ask, why the fuck u wanna go down to 4%??? are u gonna compete?? cuz thats the ONLY reason i believe anyone should go down to such a unhealthy bf percentage
 
3j, can you post a pic? I need something to inspire me.

Thanks

lol.. im no inspiration bud.. iv only put two pics up on the internet in my life.. one where i was 275lbs and about 13%, the other is the one ur looking at right now.. this is all a matter of privacy.. i have a sensitive future coming up.. wouldn't want anything to show on background checks..

u wanna get motivated? post a pic of arnold in your room at his prime.. now thats some fucking motivation!!
 
ok well.. basically the last 2 days I have eaten the same thing..

breakfast 7 am.. 2 eggs scrambled in not stick pan on a piece of whole wheat bread.
with an opti men multi. liter water.

9 am meal.. sandwich with 70 grams of oven roasted turkey breast on 2 piece of whole wheat bread with sliced pickles..

11:30 am meal... exact same thing again..

2pm 22 almonds.. sliced pineapple ( probably shouldnt eat that but).

4pm train then pwo shake 2 scoop of whey with water.. mini white bagel and can of smoked oysters.

6:30 meal 6 oz of skinless chicken breast cooked with tbsp evoo and 2 cups broccoli

9:30 pm 6 oz lean top sirloin steak broiled or bbqd..
and lots of water through out the day.

thats it.. like i said im kinda doing what your cutting diet said sorta..
what you think..

oh and about the motivation yes..ARNY..hah as you can tell by my name he has been my idol since i was 13.. the reason i got my first set of concrete weights and wieder bench..hah

drop the bread.. bread, even wheat bread, is never a good choice for cutting.. how about some oats??
9 am meal.. sandwich with 70 grams of oven roasted turkey breast on 2 piece of whole wheat bread with sliced pickles..
again, wheat bread is not the best choice
11:30 am meal... exact same thing again..
same advice as last meal
2pm 22 almonds.. sliced pineapple ( probably shouldnt eat that but).
actuallly i'd say eat a meal here, maybe move your snack back to 9am and eat a meal here... get a decent amount of protien and complex carbs.. u need energy for that workout!
4pm train then pwo shake 2 scoop of whey with water.. mini white bagel and can of smoked oysters.
sounds good!
6:30 meal 6 oz of skinless chicken breast cooked with tbsp evoo and 2 cups broccoli
ok
9:30 pm 6 oz lean top sirloin steak broiled or bbqd..
and lots of water through out the day.
perfect

any macros??
 
ok awesome... so is there something else i can make a sandwich with like a wrap?.(for at work).. or should i just cook some chicken breast and bring them and eat them up on the roof?...and should i move the snack to 9am and have a meal at 11:30 and 2pm.? I will work on the macros tomorrow..
 
i looked at your video.. nice work.. you look good..

i gotta ask, why the fuck u wanna go down to 4%??? are u gonna compete?? cuz thats the ONLY reason i believe anyone should go down to such a unhealthy bf percentage

I said 4% but i don't really know what it looks like?

Low body fat to get ripped and veins in lower abs.
Can you help me to reach a low bf%?
It's for photo shoots, i do not intend to compet at the moment but i need to show around that i m serious in my discipline.
Also i m really ashamed without rock solid abs.

Plz, would you estimate how much bf% i was last summer? and now?

Not sure if my diet is correct too..
for bmr i used this link
Calories Per Day Calculator - Basal Metabolic Rate

Hey bud. Ive been on a mission lately to better my body.. lost 25 lbs using a couple diff. dieting methods. Now im looking to gain size and lose my stubborn mid section fat n reveal some abs hah. Im using 500ml cyp/week and eatting about 2000 clean cals now. Id appreciate if you gave me a little help and guidance. Ive dropped 25 lbs. and have started this new diet here and have been stuck at about 181 for a week or two.. I flucuate a few lbs every couple days.. I just want to know how much i need to eat exactly.. im trying to get as big as possible but wanna drop bf% at the same time.

Male.
21
181 lbs
5' 10"
BF 19.8% ( calculated from website).
goal Is to lose last bit of belly fat and gain solid size
BMR (used internet) 2238
tdee 3469

I neglected my body throughout highschool n enjoyed partying more than taking care of myself.. trying to reverse this now. Ive been working out 5-6 days a week with cardio for at least 30 min at 130bpm 6-7 days a week.

chest tris
back bis
shoulders forearms
legs abs, then start over after a day off.


Like my father, biglykarny, i used the Ideal Protein diet to shred some pounds but only used it for 2 weeks to drop 12 lbs. Immediately after we started our gear and a more relevant diet for gaining and growing.

Heres my typical day

2 whole eggs 2 egg whites (181/10/1.3/20)
1/2 cup oats (150/2.5/27/5) OR

4 oz chicken breast (120/1/0/20)
2 cups veges

Meal 5 (Pre workout)
4-6 oz chicken breast (120-140/1-1.5/0/20-30)
1/2 cup oats (150/2.5/27/5)

PWO
2 scoops of Isoflex protein for shake with water with half scoop in the pre oats(277/0.2/1.2/67.5)
1 white mini bagel (100/0.5/21/4)

Snack
6 oz lean beef (158/5.3/0/26)and at least a gallon of water throughout the day

Total
1938/48/106/253.5

I seem to do better with a strict diet that i have to follow and i have good willpower to follow through.. any help would be appreciated bro. Thanks

I eat the last meal about 30 minutes before sleeping for the day ( I work midnight shift 9pm – 6 am) is that ok? I hope so cuz I go to bed about 35 min after I get home from work.

i thought it looked familiar.. the diet was too perfect. lol

well done.. it looks good..
and no, u wouldn't need to eat 3000 calories to cut.. your not my size.. that diet i made specifically for me, i have a disclaimer in there stating so..

so now the issue is how your diet was before you started this one, if youve started it...
 
ok awesome... so is there something else i can make a sandwich with like a wrap?.(for at work).. or should i just cook some chicken breast and bring them and eat them up on the roof?...and should i move the snack to 9am and have a meal at 11:30 and 2pm.? I will work on the macros tomorrow..

do you have to eat a sandwich?? if so maybe some ezekiel bread? doesn't taste too good, but it's alot better then ww bread..

how about red kidney beans? switch the deli meat for reg lean chicken/turkey breast or tuna..
 
I dont need to eat bread.. i just eat a chicken breast in place of each sandwich.. where would i put kidney beans into my diet? and how is my macros.. am i eating the right amount of calories and fat etc to be cutting and biulding mucle?

macros are fine

kidney beans are rich in protein and carbs.. so use it as a carb source.. pre workout is fine

macros look good. but we wont know until you actually try so a coupla weeks
