COMMENTS:

Up to this point i am in better condition then last year. I am starting to see striations in my lower back (christmas tree). I'd say in about 2 weeks my arms should be veiny, and abs should start to come through.

My outer quads have some striations and my hams are looking great. My calves have a spit in the middle. My weight has been going down due to the diet, so i havent incorporated the cardio as much as before because i dont want to lose too much at this point. And as of monday i am going to start Tanning so my pics look better in the upcoming weeks.

Heres my weight by each week:
start weight: 217lbs
after week 1: 214lbs (-3)
after week 2: 213lbs (-1)
after week 3: 212lbs (-1)
week 4: 211lbs (-1)
week 5: 209lbs (-2)
week 6: 205lbs (-4)
week 7: 203lbs (-2)
week 8: 198lbs (-5, this is without cardio)

thats it for now

W8, DP any comments would be great.

RD, your committment and desire are incredible! Your body appraisal shows gr8 progress too! You know that we have expressed several times that we wish it had not been necessary to sacrifice so much LBM in the pursuit of BF loss!


Of the 19 pounds you have lost, we can only hope until your pics that it was at least 2/3 to 3/4 BF loss. That would mean a corresponding drop of about 6-7% BF and put you under 9-10%.

Now, even a 50/50 LBM to BF loss would be acceptable....but the math gets pretty harsh. Two more weeks on this nutritional program, and we'll have a nice surprise for you, however, the new cardio plan may suck!

All I can say is take a Good Picture, and let's keep going, you're doing gr8!

Don't forget your storing glycogen/water w/ your carbs now.

 

[realdeal]

which means?

 

[w8lifter]

It will affect your BW

 

[Dr. Pain]

RD, anyway to make it a 6 OZ Yam and add some veggies in meal 3?

Also, cardio needs to be at a minimum, 2 HIITs and 2 Traditional sessions per week, we may have to up that! W8ing for pics?


DP

 

[realdeal]
