Keep doing what your doing brah!! Looking good. Perhaps integrate some heavier lifting amongst some HIIT on seperate days maybe...just a suggestion. The thing that helped me most was the 10 minute cardio after a weights workout. Pounds will drop. Good Luck.

Yeah I like getting tats but you better be ready if you start on a sleeve. I remember the next morning after I got my first half sleeve, I was like "oh **** thats a bunch of ink" after that its down hill.Originally Posted by ACH1LLES

You're looking good.
I don't know if it's the tattoo of just the pose, but on your front double bi, your right and left bicep don't look symmetrical.
Either way, the tattoos are sick.

update on my cut
Cardio, cardio...looking great. I don't know, but I think having that many tattoos will hinder ur contest placing? Too bad, because u are coming in solid at this point. Keep posting ur updates for us.

question for you, do you notice any changes in your tats when you bulk and cut? I am asking cuz I am about to finish off my 3/4 sleeve but am afraid to get color in the inner armpit area becuase of stretching.

Not much change at all but if I was gonna get a bigger piece I would get it while I was bulking because the more your skin is stretched out while you are getting it, the better it will look when then skin is not stretched because the needle holes will be closer together. I hope that makes sense.Originally Posted by jwebb925

Great work man - noticeable progress. Your shoulder to waist ratio has improved tremendously. What sort of changes (diet, cardio) have you made?

Well lets see here. I'm gonna get flamed for this but right now I am taking in about 2000-2200 calories. I started off at 3000 and have worked my way down as I am losing. It's easier for me to hold onto weight at lower cals than it is for some people. Everyone is different and it was kinda like a trail and error thing for me to figure out what worked the best. I am also doing three days with my carbs around 60-80 and then one day where I will bump it up to about 180 and then repeat the cycle. I am getting the best results by cutting the carbs off at lunch. Also, broccoli is your friend (thanks mpipes). I am eating 4-5 cups a day and it is keeping me full thank god. Other than that I bascally eat oatmeal, eggs (I drink 1/2 pint of eggs white every morning and the other 1/2 before bed) 2 pieces of fruit each day, tuna, chicken breast, almonds (your other friend), steak, pork chops, turkey, cheese, asparagus, and last but not least natty pb (your friend and your enemy because it is so damn good. I may have forgotten a few foods but that is basically it. Oh yeah and and post-workout shakes. I know some of this information might not be perfect but it is what is working for me right now and I am always trying to learn new things about nutrition to tweak it. As far as cardio goes, I do 15 min of high-medium high interval training on a stairmaster or eliptical 5 days a week in the morning.Originally Posted by devman27

Are you doing full body routine or split days? I'm trying to get my cut down, I started at roughly 2900 calories. I'm also taking Anabolic Pump which is requiring me to have around 70-80G of carbs when taking it, twice daily, so my calories are heavily based around these too. I was thinking of putting off the AP until my cut is over with, but not sure yet.
