Still cutting here, or trying anyway, it's been rough. The first 70lb was easy, this last 20-30lb just won't go. I've gained a LOT of muscle weight since I started though - I think we scale is just...

I was expecting to come in and have this be a grossly overestimated BF%....But good god man, DAMN good work, couldn't have been easy to get there. Good luck with your show!

I LD every night. Still getting used to trying to control them like I really want, sometimes controlling them works, other times you are fighting your subconscious, which can actually make it that...

Just chiming in since I am about the same BF% which is right around 18-20%. Keep at it man, it's all about persistence!

Personally I just had an itch to change my routine up and I am doing German volume training at the moment. I like the intensity of it, if you do it right you will be winded, soaked in sweat and feel...

Definitely keep cutting, and follow what these guys are recommending. You will have the loose skin, that's just part of the battle, I was at 240lb last year and still have a good bit left to go and...

Recomp is hard if you don't have or want to spend lots of time tabulating every little thing, but it can be done with less than stellar results even if you suck at it. It does take a lot longer as...

This! Get BIG bags of chicken, or good lean cuts of beef from Wal-mart/HEB whatever, toss it in a pan on high with a bit of whatever seasoning you like and you are done. It's hard to screw up meat...

I'd go with 16-18% as well. You would look good after a cut for sure, you look to have a bit more mass than I do (and you don't have the "lovehandle" problem I have lucky for you). But you will...

That puts me in pain just looking at it, jeebus!

I wish it was "sudden", it takes an eternity to get where you want. I feel and assume I look much better now than I did at 240lb but it still disgusts me every time I look in the mirror, and you'll...

These guys already said it, but just to reiterate. Between mortgage, car note, and bills, I know that feeling man. Like others are saying, wal-mart or costco are your best bets, bulk items.

Just a...

I agree with these guys, stick with 2000 and no cardio. If your workouts are intense enough you should keep your deficit easily.

It sounds like you might be doing what I've done recently and...

Well, hell, he's certainly more fit than I, and at least he's in the gym and not turning into a 240lb pile of **** like I did. We all start some where, at any rate, that's not a physique I'd be...

Good lord, congrats on pushing through the injuries and finishing out. Crazy that it didn't hurt, that is some NICE bruising!

Agreed, you obviously has some serious arms, I'd just hit what's lagging with some isolations and heavy compounds more often if you really want to speed things along. Perhaps your arms are doing too...

It definitely takes a certain kind of person, some one who has that bond with animals, and some one that is willing to treat them like an extension of your family. I'm definitely a dog person, I love...

I agree with lucharilla, you need to gain some weight and then cut. Focus on good lean gains to 180-190 and then cut if you need too. If you don't gain much body fat during your bulk, you may not...

OP, I usually bench 185lbx5-8 for my 3rd set (max is 225lb), BUT I worked down from being a semi-strong 240lb fatass trying to keep as much muscle as possible. 165lbx10 is more comfortable for me.

I think he is just noting that the before and after pics look the same, better before pics would have been good, but I didn't think to get any of myself either. Not disparaging your gains, if your...
