Hello everyone!
I would like to start by saying that I read pretty much all the stickies!
Right now i'm 5"10 sitting at 185lbs with a bf of ~14%. My goal ? I want to hit 10% asap.
I starting cutting in January went from 203 to 190 in ~ 2 months, i posted a few picture here I believe and I was told I wasn't consuming enough calories ( 1500calories) and that I failed hard, I was recommended to increase my calorie intake for a couple of weeks and that's what I did.
Currently eating around 2200 calories and around 190g of protein mond - fri, on the weekend i get a bit lazy. I train 4-5 times a week 1 hr to 1.5 hrs. I thinking about starting m100 5 times a week. ( i actually weight all my food and keep track of everythign i eat on livestrong.com)
If you guys have any questions plz let me know
Thanks

wow i feel stupid now...
sorry about that guys i was in a rush to go out and didn't check what i wrote.
My question is what should I do in order to achieve a 10% bf ? Ideally I dont want to do any cardio but if i really have ill do it.
Should i keep eating 2000 calories/day and do some cardio or just lower my calorie intake and do no cardio ?
As for what i meant with lazy it means i dont hit my protein "needs", i doubt i go over my 2000 calorie intake I usually eat less food.
Thanks

I agree with these guys, stick with 2000 and no cardio. If your workouts are intense enough you should keep your deficit easily.
It sounds like you might be doing what I've done recently and started eating too little and training too much. I get bored at home and easily spend 2-3hr at the gym between weight training and cardio 4-5 times a week. Some days I was guilty of consuming under 1kcal for the day. Get a pocket journal and track it if you have to. Consistency and dedication is what it takes 150% to get that final 15-20lb to go the hell away haha
At any rate, get there or die trying, good luck man.

It's very simple here. Go here and calculate your needs: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=121703981
When you get your maintenance either add/subtract 10-15% to cut or bulk. It even accounts for exercise and life.

Surprised no one caught this so far lol.... Your BMR changed with your weight loss and metabolism slow down from lower calories.
As you weigh less, you need less calories to do the same activities as you did before. So your old deficit could be new maintenance.Ideologically motivated to fight stupidity, socialism, communism, and marxism at every turn. <---- Stupidity and the other 3 often go hand and hand.
