Graduated fat loss plan - from bulk, to cut, to ripped

Fat loss is a funny little beast.

When you’re VERY fat, your body will drop fat easily (honest!) as soon as you do ANTYHING that lowers calories and incorporates some sort of exercise.

Thing is, it doesn’t work the same way from start to finish.

This is the part where you’ll hear the rep-counters say things like “you have to trick your body” or “confuse your muscles” … when in fact your body will neither be tricked nor confused. It will simply respond to the stimulus provided. If YOU are tricked and confused by the nonsense these bozos try to sell you, you’ll spend a lot of money and work WAY too hard trying to get the results you seek. Don’t know about you, but I’m too cheap and lazy to spend money and effort for sub-par results that wear me out and starve me to death. (more…)

UD2.Built

Time for an update.
Recall that I began cutting January 15th, having bulked to 150.4 lbs.

Phase I was PSMF, which I did for 12 days, followed by a two-day refeed. This got me down to 139 lbs.

Phase II was my usual “Baby Got Back“, “How to do Cardio if you Must” and “carb cycling” combo, which I did for a month to bring up my work capacity and to prepare myself for Phase III, Lyle McDonald’s UD2.0. (more…)

Well look who finally started a journal!

Nice! would love to read more on here

**Built** · 03-18-2009, 10:10 PM

I'll be documenting the whole process on my blog, and I'll bump updates on here as they happen.

katt · 03-18-2009, 10:11 PM

so B, you gotta give you stats... lol

vader · 03-18-2009, 10:12 PM

Builts blog is one of the best on the internet

workhard1 · 03-18-2009, 10:52 PM

i'm so excited you are keeping us up to date on this built. YAY

**Built** · 03-19-2009, 12:01 AM

I'll measure when I'm naked and if I remember lol but last time I checked, lesse... I think my thighs are 24", ass is 38", waist is 27", bust is like ... do you measure bust in negatives? LOL Usually around 34", biceps are 11.5 and calves were 16".

I'll get more accurate eventually.

I'm at roughly 18-19% bodyfat right now. I'll hit 14% at just above 130, and hopefully hang onto enough size to hit 10-11% at 125-126 lbs. If I don't die first!

katt · 03-19-2009, 06:19 AM

Are you doing a comp B?

nadirmg · 03-19-2009, 09:10 AM

Oh, holy sweet mother of all that is good. Yes!

I've been reading the articles you've been posting on your site. Got my psyched about getting back with the program.

I'm very interested to keep tracking with and learning from you.

**Built** · 03-19-2009, 10:49 AM

Katt - see, here's the thing. Competition means focusing all your time, attention, diet and training one one event - The Big Dance. Months of preparation, starvation and drudgery - not to mention the tanning, grooming, and choreography - all for a minute and a half of vanity.

A-minute-and-a-HALF.

I'm pretty much vain ALL the time. A minute and a half just isn't enough for me.

nadirmg, thank you for reading my blog. This is going to be interesting, that's for sure. <braces for starvation>

katt · 03-19-2009, 10:53 AM

K - just curious.... I was wondering why you would try to hit the 10% if your weren't competing.. but, it sounds like something I would do.. lol

WOW you have pretty big calves!!
The other day in my nutrition class we got off topic and started talking about how the most common plastic surgery for males was calf implants and my TEACHER said that without perfect genes its impossible to grow calves... I had to bite my tongue as I didnt want to make a seen out of it... what did you do to get your calves up like that????

Seanp156 · 03-19-2009, 03:29 PM

Where are the workouts? And, we need pics

.

**Built** · 03-19-2009, 06:25 PM

Why do it? That would be the "vanity" thing.

In my avatar I'm 14%, confirmed by DEXA. 130 lbs, age 42, natural. I'm on HRT now, so this year ought to be interesting!

Calves - geez, I dunno. I highly recommend being a fat jogger for ten or more years.<sigh>

Workouts - click the UD link in my sig.

Pix - that would be my blog.

**Built** · 03-20-2009, 01:32 AM

Carbing up... rice noodles, rice cakes, and, um, rice.

Okay, I lack imagination.

<makes pancakes>

**Built** · 03-20-2009, 03:30 AM

**Built** · 03-21-2009, 12:29 PM

Probable celiac. I have a sib with it and wheat doesn't agree with me. I eat it very rarely.

danzik17 · 03-21-2009, 06:41 PM

What do LISS/SFL walking stand for? Never heard those acronyms. That's a lot more cardio than I've been doing on UD 2.0...I may have to give that a shot.

**Built** · 03-21-2009, 08:29 PM

I'm not doing any cardio at the moment - those are all optional sessions as far as I'm concerned.

LISS = low intensity steady state, ie a walk.

SFP = stubborn fat protocol, something that is outlined in excruciating detail in "daredevils are shredded", linked in my sig.

Whatcha gonna make for me?

**Built** · 03-23-2009, 12:54 AM

Google spreadsheet updated. Got my power workout in, went too long and too high with the reps. I won't do that again, but I was fine for this one.

Depletion tomorrow...
