@Busted_Not_Broken stomach pain from psyllium? how much water are you drinking bro?I'm still here. Just grinding away. Finished up classes today. Been 100 percent on diet that was posted. Will be redoing diet tomorrow due to psyllium fiber giving me stomach pain. Will be going back to veggies instead. Have felt alright other withs strength had been good except for today I was falling off on the second half of my lift. But that may have been due to stress from testing out of classes. But I'm finished now. Sleep has been good. Been getting minimum 8 hours. Will be off for a few days so gona try and make the most of it
This is what I've been using with like 12-14oz water. It's giving me a sharp pain in my stomach about 20 min later and it can last any where from 20min to 2 hours@Busted_Not_Broken stomach pain from psyllium? how much water are you drinking bro?
why no updates big man? can you please come back to the EVO family and update us, training to start and some meal pics
@Busted_Not_Broken you're not making decent progress you're making AMAZING progress much leaner and better looking broTook these pics literally after rolling out of bed. Was 205.7 LBS fasted this morning. Mid section is still shit but feel like im making decent progress. It's probably hard to see in the pics but the tendons and ligaments on the top left of my left knee are actual starting to grow muscle again which is exciting for me. Feeling pretty good about it

Ive got everything calculated off my lean body mass thats calculated by my scale. It says my lean body mass is only 145 lbs. thats why I havent increased my calories. i know youve told me multiple times, and i dont want you to think im ignoring you. im just scared that i will start putting fat back on. ive been working so hard to scrape it off.@Busted_Not_Broken you're not making decent progress you're making AMAZING progress much leaner and better looking bro

you can step on stage bro, why not? we just gotta get you leaned out and ripped, very possible if you can dedicate yourselfBreakfast of champions... okay maybe not I haven't won anything. But after seeing the local show this weekend I might have to make a run for it. If I can manage to get leaned outwould a year be enough to shred down, then come back up and cut back down before a show?
definitely motivated and kind of ocd. i hate going off plan. ive never really been shredded, im sure my physique can tell you that. Ive been told the first time is always the hardest but once youve done it a couple times you kind of get in a grove, is that some what true?@Busted_Not_Broken great training up the treadmill more please

@Busted_Not_Broken the first is the hardest 100%, you can check @s.gentz he did his first show on EVO and did a great job now he's prepping for the 2025 show and @PrinceDaddy also did a few shows on evo:definitely motivated and kind of ocd. i hate going off plan. ive never really been shredded, im sure my physique can tell you that.

Keep up the good work brother.After a dog fight work out, with out any brace I might add. I did a little scraping and now doing some tense unit to try and maximize recovery. See if it helps with the pinch. Unit always feels good though.

you can be below 20% bodyfat bro, can be 15% why not possibleI had my wife help me do a Jackson pollock 7 site skin fold test. This was the result I came up with. I figured I was more around 20% body fat what do you guys think? This can't be right.
share a pic again bro pleaseMeh looking back at my progress photos I'd say 26% lol
meals looking good you stay strong and keep prepping pleaseKeeping my meal prep going for work
@Npcclassicphysique champ I will take another pic this week. I had an off day from the gym today and am transitioning to night schedule for work. so my schedule is gona be wonky going in to tomorrow. If i look decent when i wake up tomorrow for work i will post a pic, cause i got back day tomorrow morning and i want to squeeze out some of this water from my off day lol.@Busted_Not_Broken good training day I like your cardio bro

If i look decent when i wake up tomorrow for work i will post a pic, cause i got back day tomorrow morning and i want to squeeze out some of this water from my off day lol.
also i feel pretty good considering how low im pushing calories. Im feeling pretty motivated, im using the cycle i want to do as my reward for getting lean. this is what ive been leaning towards, nothing set in stone ive been considering everything that you guys have been telling me. What do you think?
250 to 300mgs testosterone a week
200 to 250 mgs primobolan a week
40 to 50mgs anavar a day
7caps n2guard a day
5mgs aromasin
ostarine 15 to 25mg ed
2IU GH ED
presumably 12 to 14 weeks depending on bloodwork
Showing the slackers how it's doneKeeping my meal prep going for work
Maybe it's time for a deload. What has your bodyweight done the last two weeks? When recomping you should not be losing strength. You should really not be losing/gaining much weight. You just should see changes in the mirror.So I had the transition from day schedule last night. took 3 hour nap. went from low calorie day right into my back work out. I think ive finally hit my wall. my training has been pretty rough this last week or so. started off strong and just kind of end up tapering off. feel like my last 3 work outs have been that way. losing reps. any ways here was todays training.

lost about 6 to 7 lbs in the last two weeks. I mean that doesnt seem to far off from the 2lbs a week that most people go by. since march 1 ive lost about 24lbs. I guess when I named the log i should have called it a cutting log. I realize now i have way to much fat for a recomp. I will post up date pics here in a minute but I cant really tell much of a difference.Maybe it's time for a deload. What has your bodyweight done the last two weeks?

Either way a deload is prob in order. I’m halfway through my week 6 of the current plan I’m doing and I’m fucken destroyed.

When I was doing my first initial major weight loss at a rate of 2 or more lbs a week it gets really hard very fast and makes you more likely to binge especially when getting lack of sleep and rest. I do really believe that loosing the weight slowly is the way to go, no more than a pound a week. Reason being your lifts actually stay the same or get better and in turn that would keep me motivated in the gym while simultaneously looking better in the mirror.lost about 6 to 7 lbs in the last two weeks.

Couple different ways you can go about it.What does a structured deload look like?
Definitely can see progress but initially the fat comes off from your inner organs before it starts coming off from cosmetic body parts.For as hard as I've been pushing my self it is a little frustrating. I don't really see much change. But the scale is going down. I did hear someone say on a podcast the other day. If you have 30 lbs of fat to lose you won't really notice 1 or 2 lbs. That kind of made me feel better because the scale is moving. So atleast there is progress. The only thing I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is this doesn't seem very maintainable for me.
Okay i think this is a really good plan. I will give it a couple more days and go over everything this weekend, this will be my plan of action. @Losiol does make a good point i could be losing the fat internally. my scanner does say i have visceral fat and it has been coming down more so than my sub q fat.Couple different ways you can go about it.
1- keep the same workouts but drop everything down to 70-80% of what you were doing
2- change your whole plan and just do pump workouts for a week or so and maybe a little extra cardio.
One thing to be Leary of during a cut is that your losing weight but don’t see a mirror change but you are losing strength. This would indicate some muscle loss. I think we should reexamine what you are eating. Make a new list of your daily diet and current gear your taking. We can finback and look at your training but loss of too much strength is not good if it persists.
Five pounds of fat is pretty noticeable if you’re somewhat lean. Five pounds of muscle not as much.
Go into autopilot and you’ll see the changes in no time. Trust the process brother you’re doing great.Okay i think this is a really good plan.

@Busted_Not_Broken there are changes clear changes, it takes time to move the body sometimes years but in 6 months you'll make changes more and more dont worry broFor as hard as I've been pushing my self it is a little frustrating.
