It amazes me how your weight doesnt seem to fluctuate as much as I'd assume on days you "over eat"

Those pics you took were the next day after your 5,000 calorie day, yet you dont look all that...

ITT Bob is trying to be superior by tracking more precisely in his off-season...

Point is, are you going through unnecessary suffrage in order to hit your "limited fat macros" ? Quite apparent...

I appreciate it buddy, I think I have almost a Brian Whitacre physique.... just not as big nor as ripped if you know what I mean LOL!
I'll be honest man, I visited your logs multiple times through...

Would rep if could

Thanks for the info and motivation m8

edit also keeping cardio in, maybe low the duration on a few days but overall keeping 4+ sessions in

Thanks for the feedback guys, I definitely feel it could go either way as it just depends on how they award for conditioning over size. Either way I'm happy that I was able to get some glute...

alright man, coming to you with my current experience.

Want a successful reverse! But it just seems impossible.

These pics show his size better, he was a big boy and definitely had more mass esp in hams.

Haha I appreciate the warning

I dont typically spend the extra $ on protein bars but for now I dont mind because I'm looking for convenience.

I am an amature bodybuilder and need some extra...

Hey guys, never really posted in the nutrition portion but felt this would be the best place.

Any recommendations on proteins bars that are easily digested? I find that a lot of them are loaded...

Just checked out your old log, congrats mr. pro!

I saw your weight got up to ~168? lbs and roughly 3,000 kcals/day

Curious as to how you found your way back to 161-163 and how high were you...

oh I wasnt doubting you, just saying there are far more variables....

TDEE (previous days b4? )
Water
electrolytes
glycogen
total calorie deficit

Just so many variables to chalk something...

Makes sense, thanks





These two comments seem iffy to me as I find it hard to contribute the results solely on the one variable or meaningless numbers you believe it to be.

any reason for the relatively high fat intake? Most days are 100g +
Is this just because you prefer fatty foods? Dont want the extra calories from carbs?

Awesome advice

I think the binge thing is key. It does something psychologically that it's just damn near impossible to recover from, begins to be a habit and results in excessive weight gain...

you took the week off after your show and came back same weight/lighter?

Did you count macros during the deload? cardio?

Also curious to compare your starting offseason macros of 200p/ 120c...

no training nor cardio during your RBL :o

lol I'd feel so bloated!

Question: He give you any "meal timing" protocal i.e. start first x and end food y or is it...

Exactly
Seems like a more conservative approach :)

I know Jeff Alberts used macro ranges after his 2011? prep

I dont want this to sound like I'm trying to change your mind but more general discussion.

Top nattys stage weight is like ~180lbs ... that is going to take multiple years of work, not something...

no worries brah, I'm sure it stings a little but we do this for a lot more than just placings.

Learn something from every competition! In for pics/write-up
