Thanks man! I was doing some crazy hard workouts(crazy 8's steve kuclo style) high volume stuff, five day split, shoulders, back, chest, legs and arms, with 5 days a week 45 min on the stairmill at 145 bpm.

Good work! Keeping a diet is the hardest part for me..

If you can get to about 12-13 percent, you will start seeing changes every couple days, it will keep you motivated

Looking good man, I started in mid september around 240 lbs.. down to 225 now.. But I was fatter than you, prob started at around 22 % bf.

[Land_Down_Under]

[J_dazzle23]

Awesome. Bro keep it up!

Thanks guys. Gonna try and get down low enough that from Christmas to new years I can get away with a week long dreamer bulk

[ConstipatedBrah]

I want to be you

[TheSecondName]

Outstanding results. Keep doin g what u are doing! You will get there over three weeks.

What's your goal the next period? Start a new bulk for 4 months at the 1th of januari will be a good plan!

Thanks man! Yeah right around Christmas I will be slowly going off the diet. I tend to gain fat pretty easily on a bulk, so I will probably do a clean bulk and do everything I can to stay under 12%. probably start another cut in April, starting a lot leaner, and try and take it down farther that 7-8%

Bro you love you some deads don't you? I get 3-4 sets of ten in at the end of back day, usually 250-315 lbs. Trust me, I hear you loud and clear brah. Thanks man

You've got a great frame - broad shoulders and chest - which is lucky for someone your height! So many tall people have really ecto frames!
I don't think that you were 19% on that September pic, but you are certainly around 11% now, so great cutting
Have your lifts suffered at all with the cutting? Good luck getting to 7% for Christmas. That will be another 7 or 8 lbs to lose.
I think that you've got the right idea about bulking as well - IMO there's no point going on a dreamer bulk - you may as well look good and feel good on the way, and keeping at or around 12% is a good state for looking good but being able to slowly add more strength and muscle

Thanks man! I am def a lucky guy as far as that goes.

I get stronger on a cut. I think it's because I keep carbs high and create a deficit with cardio. But I just hit pr's on dumbbell shoulder and incline presses last week. I'm expecting a little hitch though dropping into single digits.

BEASTIN'! ;D Keep up, brotha.

Thanks man!

How many times a week you targetin' dem lats? ;P

[J_dazzle23]

I only hit them once a week, it is my one genetic gift, since I have fairly wide shoulders, I automatically have a headstart on width. I blast them pretty hard for thickness lately, about 22 sets, 15 or so for thickness.

Do you have a before-picture, prior to beginning the cut?

Nah, just wanting to lose the fat around the lovehandles that has been there for 6 or so years. Never been that low, and it just so happened that the timeframe ended up like this.

On the upside, when I start my bulk, I won't have to fight the new years' resolutioners for a stairmill

tighten up your core with some more tighter motion deadlifts and you will be lookin sick as fuuuaaaaaaaaaaaark

What exactly do you mean by "tighter motion deadlifts"?
