I know all of you had at some had way more to lose then I ever had, I must know the ways of getting sub 10%. Is such a think even possibru?

[ErickStevens]

- Establish maintenance calories. I would recommend underestimating your TDEE.
- Subtract 500 calories.
- Keep your protein relatively high, carb/fat distribution is up to your personal preference.
- Utilize refeeds.
- Train relatively heavy with moderate frequency. Don't add in cardio until you plateau.

I wasn't listed so **** you ******* OP.

[MagnumPeanut82]

Not without counting calories...

Never gone under 10%, but I will before this summer. Anyways just eat the same thing everyday. Only have to count the calories once that way. Seems stupidly boring, but I lost piles of fat. Its just really boring way of eating.

Will power & consistency.

Will power & consistency.

Pretty much. Getting lean is just a grind. Hitting your macros, doing your cardio, every single day, day after day.

[Chuck2600]

I wasn't listed so **** you ******* OP.

Was not awear.

[HunterCML]

Was not awear.

300lbs -> 163lbs & near single digit BF

/conceitment

Just ****ing grind day after day man. Hit your macros. Don't let little things bother you. Try to stay sane. Good luck.

This thread is my search for rl experience on how sacrificing to win made *******s like you look good naked. The sacrificing satiety for a 6 pack is my biggest issue, how does everyone just not say fuk it, I could use more mass.. Imma cut later/

[lovingit]

I've never been sub ~19% so disregard everything I say.

[ErickStevens]

Things that make getting painfully lean a whole lot easier:

- PB2
- Diet Mountain Dew
- Walden Farms Products
- Vegetables (Especially broccoli and lettuce)

IF as well for me.

[lovingit]

In all seriousness, though, I will be watching this thread. I'm going to be cutting from now through all of summer. I forget how.

[illiniStrive]

Lol, why is Jason listed?

[Chuck2600]

Lol, why is Jason listed?

Cause he was really fat at one point and lost a ton on weight... Also we are both seeking sponsorships from muscletech so the way we diet may differ from others.

[illiniStrive]

Ooooh. Did not know that about him.

Coolness!

[Chuck2600]

Which part?

[Xfaxtor]

Which part?

Im guessing its not the lifetime natty part. Thats pretty well documented LoL

[illiniStrive]

Which part?

the fat part

[Chuck2600]

the fat part

In his biography I read he was 300lb fatass as a teen that got lean, mean and strong, became a tae kwon doe champion then developed muscle dismorphia and swore never to go back to his formerself.

[MITCHAPAL00ZA]

IF will really help. You'll still be able to have 1-2 meals that resemble your bulking meals and you won't have to worry about eating smaller meals throughout the day. Diet soda and chewing gum are also going to become your best friends.

[t12jm]

If years of experience and a physique worthy of jelly-ness is a prerequisite for posting, then disregard.

But my saving grace(s):

diet dr. pepper
MiO
gum
the cheesecake thread

Take breaks. Seriously.
Hormones, strength and mental state will thank you.

Realise there is plenty of time, no rush. Some times it may seem like nothing is happening scale wise, but 2-4 weeks down the track you're either lighter or looking leaner. Weight is not everything.

I say keep TDEE reasonably high. Keep enjoying an active lifestyle. Just be sensible with cardio and weight training.
In other areas of life, just try not to sit on your crack the whole day.
Try and move. Don't go doing BS minimalistic routines with minimal to no cardio which reduces TDEE and thus total food intake and thus TDEE even further as you cbf doing anything.

Don't think about dieting. Set and forget.

Fraps (no not faps) which is just software that just records what's on your screen. Then turned it into a gif with photoshop.

[psychodiver9]
