a month progress pics

[bambam50]

So I'm kinda on the anabolic diet. and I do the 12 weeks to your future physique training. I'm a bit confused. I started out at 256 and I'm now 242, which is good right?.... well my bf% on a machine dropped 2%, but with the calibers my bf% went up 2%. Now the pt that was doing my bf% did it differently the 2nd time around so thats my excuse. He pinched about 6-7 spots the first time and only pinched 3 the 2nd time. What do you guys think, am I losing that much muscle?

Before: 256





After: 242

well your stomach def went down i remember looking at your pics some time ago, just keep it up homes!

Thanks, Does it look like I've lost alot of muscle. Thats what I have been worried about?

Well it looks like you have lost a bit of fat above your waist. Dont be too cautious about your bf% and weight for now... Just keep eating clean, lifting heavy, doing cardio and watching the calories. I'd say weigh yourself no more than two times a month (once every two weeks) as there are many other factors which will contribute to your weight, for example water levels in your body and how full your stomach is. Good luck and keep up the work.

Edit: And as for loosing muscle. Just make sure your protein intake is very high. You will be loosing a slight bit of muscle but there is no other way of cutting down.

I agree, but if you're doing your exercises at the gym then you should be loosing the fat on top of the muscle. That's what happened to me I went from 390+ and 50%BF with 17 inch arms to now 220 and 15%BF and 16.5 inch, and thats just the numbers before there was no definition or muscle for that matter, that should be happening all over.

coming along nice, you've got a good build to work with too, whats your goal?

[djfury05]

You have so much potential.. your doing well losing the weight, keep it up. Even if you do lose some muscle in the weight loss, it is always better to begin with a leaner base to build up from, your looking great for a months progress, keep it up, and keep that diet in check too!

I just want to get my bf% down right now and try to maintain as much muscle as I can. I'm going to go through two more months of cutting and see where I end up at.
