Sick & Shredded 4 Summer! - My Journey to 6%

[lllDBOlll]

Now then!

So last time I did a fat loss log it was when I first figured out how to count calories back in 2011. Last year I cut down to how I look above ^^^ and this year I plan to cut down to 6% Body Fat where from then I will assess how I am looking and either enter my first competition after some prep OR slowly bulk up some more first. I should be around 170lbs at 6% Body Fat.

I will be doing 2 quick progress videos every week, showing front, side and rear poses. My posing is not the best, I have a lot to learn, so this is also great practice and a big learning curve!

Here's the last picks I took, end of December 2012:





No lower body shots but it will all be out in the vids :P


Hopefully this will help keep anyone else who has decided they want to lose fat for the New Year stay on the right track. Don't give up after a month... I am slogging this out for 5 months... YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!

Little too high on the Protein today, no big deal.

[PSSR]

what bf % are you starting off? And isnt protein supposed to be 1.25-1.5g per total mass on low kcal diet(kinda noob)?

Nah. You don't need that much protein, I managed to cut last year successfully on around slightly more than my LBM.

I'm around 15-16% at the mo.

Nice one matey! Was going to keep this one as just the progress vids, daily intake and measurements but I guess could put my sessions in here too!

[fittofattofit]

I'm in fatty


Looking really big Danny and you've got plenty of underlying mass to make this cut worthwhile. 170 and 6% will look beastly!

Nice work to be able to cut on 2400 cals as well!
What are you going to use to track the cals?

HAHA Fatties UNITE!

I cut last year at around 2300 for much of the duration, I do not know yet if 2400 is too much or too little but will know in a week or two. On the left last year 10th March I was 191lbs and on the right back in November I am around 187lb I believe. I feel I have made some decent gains.

I'm tracking calories on myfitnesspal, add me if you got it mate, same username lllDBOlll

[Celtic8Laoch]

In and subbed as a current forever cutting

Feels like fecking ages now, all last and and half this year coming, oh the joys. Watching and hearing you suffer as well might keep me sane ha.

Your delts and lats are bigger now and I'm sure your back is way thicker, plus you were closer to 20% last time, so that looks like good mass gains to me

Fat a little low. Was feeling weak and was benching so got bang right on the carbs.

[lllDBOlll]

So official weight this morning (after a big slash and a turn out) was 186.6lbs. Will assess calories next week if loss is more than 1lb but I think it should be ok.

Posing "endurance" is difficult something I need to build up, along with actually nailing the poses themselves.

It's actually really harder than you think it would be.

Did you start at 190lbs?

[lllDBOlll]

Did you start at 190lbs?

I was 193lbs on New Years day with much more carbs and salt in my system. Next weeks weigh in will decide whether more or less calories are needed.

Gotcha, either way your cut is off to a flying start.

It should be much slower next week but if its not its win for me anyway cos it means I will have to eat more haha!

Thanks dude, hopefully I get veins in that mother fuker by the end of this. You have a really solid base to start cutting, gonna look ridiculous at 8% or under.

Cheers man. I had some crazy ass veins going on in my calves back in September last year. That's the best thing about cutting when things start appearing you never knew was there. Subbed to your trifecta log mate, that's one helluva log!

Day 6 vid looks good ---- you almost look like you know how to pose
This vid really shows off your legs well --- one big advantage of being a former fatty is that you have killer calves.
My cut will have to wait for a few more weeks til I'm off vacation, but damn, I'd love to have your mass as a base

LOL almost... but not :P

My calves have been above average since being a child but you are right the years of being overweight has definitely brought them on. I used to walk around on my tip toes as well when I was a kid I remember getting a lot of telling off's over it... looks like walking around like a fairy has paid off!

Day 10(?) video tomorrow, looking forward to Sunday, will see if I need to eat more or not... sure hope so :P

Great log, I'm years away from where you are, but it is still a lot of fun to read a log like this, so I'm in. Good luck!

Thanks for the support, I hope what you see me do over the next 20 weeks will inspire you to achieve your own goals if you aren't already on your way!

I'm on my way, been dieting for almost a year now(was really obese), hope I'm finished soon , but this will still motivate me for sure!
Are you going to do this for 20 weeks straight, and cut carbs when you need to? Or do you plan to do refeeds or something similar?
