@GDDY awesome work bro stay on that grind!Week 6 Progress Pics:
I took these this morning Post my 25 mins on the treadmill cardio and my morning water and ACV.
I’ve been going lower on my Cals trying to lean out a little faster. Thinking I will adjust from 2350 to 2000 daily. Thoughts on this from progress pics attached? Or would it be better to up cardio and keep Cals at 2350? Im still running a 35% Protein - 35% Carb - 30% Fat ratio.
The scale this morning read 177.4lbs and 20.4%bf. I stepped on the “old school” scale yesterday at the gym post workout, and it had me just over 186lbs. Interesting to me that I was I was almost 10lbs lighter over night. Does this seem accurate, or could my scale be “weigh”off?
I’m about half way through my cycle now. I’d like to hear input on any cal/macro adjustments, as well as any exercise change.
Happy birthday yet againThanks for all the birthday wishes! Took the weekend off from logging and didn’t get in the gym, but stayed pretty active all weekend. I never posted any pics of food from my birthday, so I’ll attach those here, and my next post tonight will be today’s log. I had two petite fours for my cake substitute, and dinner was fried green tomatoes and a NY Strip. If raw meat scares you, don’t look at the food pics. I eat my steak rare, and this one was perfect. The other meal was the next days lunch, steak on top of sweet potato noodles, and other things mixed in. It was interesting, a first for me. We’re back to the routine today though. I’m on the treadmill now getting warm and then ready to hit chest. I’ll also take/post updated pics tonight, as well as see what the scale says.
Monday Log
- Wake up @ 6
Slept hard last night and straight through my alarm this morning, and I was running late, so I missed morning cardio.
- 11 am (First meal): Chicken and veggies w/avacado
- 1pm: Barbells protein bar and ratio yogurt
- 4pm: Another protein bar and protein shake with powdered greens
* Being late this morning I ran out the door and left some food at the house, so macros and Cals weren’t spot on today, but they certainly weren’t over. It was also protein heavy, clearly.
- 5pm: Gym - Chest day
* 20mins on incline treadmill
*3x10/1x4-6/1x10: Peck Deck
*4x10: Plate side dips
*2x10/1x4 heavy/2xFailure with bands: Incline
*3x12: Vertical chest press
*3x15: Dumb bell curls between chest press sets
*3x12: High to Low Cable chest press
Today’s session I didn’t get in as much as I would’ve liked. I stayed at work later and went to the gym earlier than normal, and it was much more crowded. I wasn’t able to get to as much, but we’ll have no problem hitting some more chest on of our full body weekend days.
I also decided to wait and take/post progress pics and weight in the morning to try and stick with consistency.
- 10pm: Set alarm for 3am and sleep. Looking forward to getting my morning treadmill time back tomorrow.
All in all diet wasn’t spot on and cardio was lower than I would’ve liked, it was definitely a Monday. Ready to take on the rest of the week and get my sh*t together.
Even though you said it wasn't spot on bro i think your training was real good @GDDYWeek 7 Progress Pics:
Taken this morning after my 30 mins on the treadmill. Body weight is 179lbs and BF is 20.7% (according to scale). For comparison, on Jan 21st, I was at 171lbs and 22.3% BF.
This is week 7, so 5 more weeks to go. I think I know the answer to this, but will ask anyway now that we’ve seen where I’m at at this point. My Bachelor Trip is 10 days out. Would it be worth throwing in 5mg’s of SD daily for the next 9 days to put on a little more size, or just keep doing what I’m doing?
Thanks fam, and happy Tuesday![]()
Even though you said it wasn't spot on bro i think your training was real good @GDDY
you look great on the body, leaner at least 3-4% bodyfat drop, BIGGER and thicker real deal
on the bachelor trip, 5mgs of what? sd? you mean tadalafil![]()
supderdrol is a bad idea broThanks bro! I appreciate it. I was pretty happy with the progress when comparing pics. I’m glad I cut the Cals back to 2k. It’s definitely helping lean out a little more. We’re on the treadmill now getting a solid sweat in before we hit back and a little shoulders.
For SD I was saying Superdrol, to put on a little extra size before the trip. I leave next Thursday, so I’d take it tonight and into Thursday morning. So it’d be only 9 days. I say only 5mg because I haven’t taken it before and always like to start low. I’d rather take 5mgs and see minimal results than 20mgs and have terrible sides. I could also wait and take it later in my cycle once I lean out a little more. I could also avoid it altogether. Thoughts?
superdrol will only make you sick ahead of your trip and really crash your immune system.
i would do some var instead or tbol
supderdrol is a bad idea bro
if you want something before the trip 50mgs winstrol with 7caps n2guard and tadalafil 5mgs ed @GDDY
Thanks for taking the time to post up the food.
That steak looks fantastic.
No steak sauce with that piece of meat?
Or do you just eat it plain?
Nothing with this one. It was good enough that it didn’t need anything.
@GDDY golf balls the 5-630 can you do a few sets of push ups as you go? like 20min gold 20 push ups 20mins golf 20 push ups and so on.Wednesday Log
3am: Wake up. Water and ACV
3:30-4:15am: Fasted cardio. 45 mins incline treadmill
9:30am: 2 eggs and 1/2 Cup egg whites, 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese. Avacado serving, two carb balance tortillas, 30g low fat cream cheese
12pm: Taco bowl (97% lean beef) with low sodium seasoning and veggies
2pm: Two scoop protein shake
* The taco bowls were premade from the fiance’s dinner last night, so I couldn’t get exact weight/macros on them. Working with my best guestimate of overall weight and what I could divide out, I definitely hit my protein and fats, and may have been about 200-300 Cals short on my carbs, but could’ve also gone over that with my protein. Was a clean day all in all on food.
3:15pm: Gym - Leg day
* Decided to go for volume today. If we couldn’t get 15 reps, we dropped weight until we could. Legs were feeling thick. Looking back, probably not the best to do before hitting golf balls, lol. Very good workout though, so no complaints.

3x15: Standing calf raises
3x10: Crunches
3x15: Good girl/Bad girl

11pm: Sleep
@GDDY you get that all fixed up on the sound system bro?Monday Log
I was working on putting a new sound system in my truck all weekend and when I was putting the driver door panel back on last night, it wouldn’t close. I took the day off work today and got that fixed. It’s good now, but I threw a kink in my back yesterday, and my food wasn’t anything special. I ate chicken and rice around noon today as my first meal, and will have a double protein shake with chai seeds and probably some avocado after the gym around 6ish. Since I was working on the truck all weekend I didn’t have anything special to log, but I did get in the gym Saturday and worked anything that felt healthy. Had a really good workout that day actually. Hitting chest today. Bachelor trip is Thursday, so we definitely want to be feeling good for that. I threw some pics of my door panel before and after if there are any audio people in here. I think it turned out pretty good for my first project like this.

@GDDY you look amazing bro real deal thick and pumpedStart of Week 8 Progress Pics:
Scale says 181lbs and 21% bf
@GDDY you get that all fixed up on the sound system bro?
on the food you gotta keep protein high, any meal pics?
training is strong but hard to say you doing how much weight?
@GDDY you look amazing bro real deal thick and pumped
you're not 21% bodyfat way lower
leaner abs, bigger arms and wider shoulders already NICE!
for protein we are talking about 1.5grams or more up to 20 depends on how much you want to grow bro @GDDYHow much protein do you like to see when on cycle? I’ve always kind of just aimed for 1g/lb of body weight, but interested to hear input.
I got two tweeters in and that one door done. I’ve still got the other three doors to do, but it’s functional and already an improvement.
I can start throwing some weight on my logs for sure. And thanks, I don’t think it’s 21% either, I was a little surprised at that. Clothes are definitely fitting better and tighter in the right places. I think I’m most happy with my back/shoulder results so far. After Saturday’s “freebie” workout of whatever felt good, I had a solid pump and it was the first time I’ve looked in the mirror and been impressed/surprised with myself in probably a year or more. Thanks for the continued support.
I did throw a kink in my back while working on my truck though. I just left the chiropractor, which I go to every other week already. That helped, but the last thing I want to do is hurt my back before leaving Thursday for the bachelor/golf trip. So today and tomorrow’s workouts may be a bit random to avoid any more back issues. I fly out at 8am, but I’m going to try and get up that morning and get some type of last minute workout in.
Those scales are not accurate
I would say you're probably in the high teens with body fat
for sure you are like 17% broThat’s what I was thinking as well.
for sure you are like 17% bro
100% right. There's no damn way he's 21%@GDDY you look amazing bro real deal thick and pumped

I didn’t get to the gym because I was working late getting ready for being out of office for the weekend. I’m on my bachelor trip, so I’ll be MIA until Tuesday.
@GDDY sorry about your girl I hope she recovers soon, get her extra vitamins and soup.Quick update since the trip…
Got back on Sunday, and by Monday morning I was feeling pretty sick. My girl was about 3 days into an upper respiratory infection and was kind enough to share the love. Thankfully it’s not the flu, which has been hitting hard here. So I’ve been sticking inside, staying out of the weather, and focusing on recovering. It’s essentially been worse than a run-of-the mill cold, but without the aching and vomit of the flu. Hot flashes, low appetite, motion sickness, nausea, zero energy, all part of it. Today is the first day I feel back to about 70%. Taking N2guard and tossing an extra multi-v in there to try and stay on top of things. I haven’t stepped on a scale yet, and won’t be posting this weeks progress pics on account of things. I may try and go just get some light cardio in tonight. Fingers crossed I can get back in the gym tomorrow and take things light and be back fully on track by Monday.
That being said, golf/bachelor trip was an absolute blast. Smooth sailing with minor hiccups (flight delays). Weather and courses were beautiful though. I threw a couple pics in for any golf fans out there.
@GDDY beautiful pictures man. Hate to hear you aren’t feeling the best and it passes quickly.Quick update since the trip…

Golf is a nice sport, but it's pretty expensive.
How much would it cost to play on a course like that?
Wow, that is a beautiful scenery back there. Where did you end up going? Remind us again.
My ex used to play golf but he was really bad.
One time he hit the ball and it went into the water and then he got mad and and threw his Club at someone.. he used to have roidrage bigtime
pic quality is fineHere’s a few updated pics from this morning. If nothing else, being sick at least leaned me out a little. Got to find the silver lining somewhere right? The scale has me at 175lbs this am, and yesterday was the start of week 10.
Sorry for the terrible quality of the back pic. Shower was getting steamy and I didn’t realize how grainy it was until now.
pic quality is fineyou are looking much leaner if you ask me, you're getting there but we might need to up the protein.
Up the proteins and fats, cut the carbs by 10% each if you ask me.Yea I agree. How would you recommend to factor that into my macros/cals? I’ve got it split at 35% carbs, 35%protein, and 30% fat rn. And I’ve got that at 2k cals a day, but usually fall anywhere from 1750-2100 and just try to adjust through the week and avg it out. Would you say go for 50% protein and adjust the other two accordingly? Just aim for cal goal and protein and not worry about the rest? What would you recommend?
Up the proteins and fats, cut the carbs by 10% each if you ask me.
lets get more omega 3 fats like nuts and high protein foods like bars
Yes I always say being sick does have some benefits plus it gives your body a chance to rest by force
I would up the calories a bit and go with walnuts and fish oil if you can, stack protein up to 45% @GDDYSo just to make sure I’m understanding, you think sticking around 2000 cals is good? And cut Carbs to 15%, and up protein to 45% and fats to 40%? Or up protein to 50% and fats to 35%? I have some almonds I can add in and some extra omega 3/fish oil I can add in too.
drinking? how about cooking them lolFor upping protein easy, what’s the general consensus on drinking liquid egg whites? I know there’s a lot of sodium in there, worth the trade off? I’ve done this before when trying to up protein and actually don’t have a problem with downing it. Not saying it tastes good by any means, but if you don’t think about it then it’s tolerable lol
drinking? how about cooking them lol![]()
So ask someone to take picsHere’s a few updated pics from this morning. If nothing else, being sick at least leaned me out a little. Got to find the silver lining somewhere right? The scale has me at 175lbs this am, and yesterday was the start of week 10.
