well the first pic was during spring...but i didnt cut right away...the cut took a total of 12 weeks, could have done it in less but it was hard enough to do 30 min of cardio in the morning because of my job but if i did 45 min i would have seen results alot sooner.

[buffgrk]

sick transformation bro, your looking crazy now!

[Laduem88]

whats funny is after i took the first picture i thought i looked decent..then i took the next one and then looked back at the old one and thought "what was i thinking, i was a fatty"...and then the same thing kept happening after i took another picture..funny how nothing will be good enough i guess

[Sweetfruit]

Very hot. I love how your face changed as well.

[shaun_19]

[JBjunior]

Lookin jacked!

Nice man, so 1 month from pic 3-5 that is impressive. I'm not too familiar with carb cycling, do you prefer it as opposed to just eating under maintenance and doing cardio? Also how much cardio do you do, and what type, HIIT, jog, etc. Just wondering because you're pic 5 is about the BF that I want within a month or so and currently I'm a bit lower than you were at in pic 3.

[rushki]

can you give detailed diet, and info on your carb cycling, as detailed as possible ?

and info on the cardio?

Thanks brah

[Mafioso76]

Seriously, I wouldn't even of thought it was the same guy if you just had the before and after pics.

[Cryptic]

post diet cut

[GilletteFusion]

You're huge bro.
Sick transformation.
If only i were as dedicated as you!

[Laduem88]

CARDIO: Atleast 30min in the morning on empty stomach and atleast 30 min post workout (Low intensity for both) I sometimes ran 3 miles, but that would kill muscle i felt like


Diet was carb cycling...there are a million ways to do it

[Walzber]

Way to stick with it, lookin' solid!

[proph]

Great progress! Very similar to my build and results (225->194)

[SaratogaKid]

great job bro and nice obliques. they really pop

[c0mefiesta]

wow man SICK .... what a great cut in a short amount of time keep it up... which carb cycle did u use... i know there are like a 100 different variations... which one did u do

[Breezy.222]

you actually looked pretty lean in the 1st pic (due to abs, etc) it doesnt seem like u naturally have much fat on your stomach

but that was a sick transformation...gmfj man!

[PermaBulk42]

[WANTitBAD]

low intensity works really well if you do 45 min - 60 min...30 min is good though

this was my first time ever carb cycling and it worked really well...but the thing that really held me back was not weighing out my food. when i started the cut i got a scale and weighed out all my meat and looking at what 6-8oz of meat looks like, i must have been eating atleast a pound of meat every meal ever since i started working out...and i think thats the MAJOR reason i wouldent get cut even though i was eating very clean all the time

So if you don't mind my asking, what did your low intensity cardio consist of?

And I'm really glad to see such progress from you!

lol, I say do another bulk right now, you're looking ****ing solid brah! Or just eat like 200 cals over ur maintenance level...

this article may be of help

http://www.tmuscle.com/article/bodyb...ut_bulking&cr=

you may disagree, but I dont...I think the author is completely right.

He does make sense... he basically says, you may gain more muscle while bulking, but after bulking, you have to cut for a few months where you cant gain any muscle and potentially lose some... so basically he says its good to eat a bit over ur maintenance...and he gives a little chart on how many calories you should consume for optimal muscle growth.
