BRO You Rock
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this and winning this...I too competed but just couldn't cut the fat as much as you and I kept on track pretty good...my macro's were different though...I think my fat was too high and carbs to low. I discovered I'm an endomorph and have to be very conscious of calories and fat...so to make a long story short I'm entering the summer challenge for 6 weeks I'm 40 and am going to follow your setup ... never thought of the intermittent fasting strategy ... so that's brilliant, and the cardio I did so much too but I now know I wasn't doing it effectively. I am so grateful for people like you ... you've given me a clear path to follow and surge to kick ass on the next transformation. Really grateful for you keep on rocking that new body man you deserve it #ROCKSTAR

Matt Ignore the idiots
It's obvious you're a champion.
Your patience is Paramount.
I've read this whole thread and you've answered the same questions more than once when you don't even have to.
You're here sharing with us caring, and helping us get to where you are, yet there's disbelief it's truly sad.
Years ago I did a transformation in 1997 and also got ripped like you and everyone thought I was on something, YES I was on dedication and eating right with the proper mindset and supplements it happened, there was no steriods, GH, or any crap like that.
I still get **** about it bc I have huge arms and I'm an endomorph and with the proper supplementation I easily put on muscle but just can't torch the fat as fast, so to this day people are like man what are you on...my answer always is F'n DEDICATION.
So know I believe you, and others do tooo... and I know what you've done is completely possible and being a 40 year old myself I'm grateful for your level of dedication to inspire us to get results like yours.
You ROCK BROHAM

P.S. You had mentioned you did heavy weights till failure ... how many sets did you do...was it one set heavy till failure or a warm up set with light weights then the heavy set till failure? If you could provide details would help me out bc I'm getting ready for the summer transformation challenge and going to make my plan based on what you did...
P.P.S. Know you you're not going unheard you're message is sinking in and going to propel me and other like minded folks to kick ass in the upcoming summer shred transformation.You can follow my weight loss at http://FollowMyWeightLoss.com

46 lbs is possible in 3 months. He lifted off and on for 28 years so had a solid base. He also probably bloated in the before pics and added a good 10lbs.
Month 1 - 20 lbs (most water lost here)
Month 2 - 15 lbs
Month 3 - 10 lbs
He was also running a 2000 cal a day deficit.
Another runner up lost 100 lbs in 3 months. That I have no idea how he did it.

Edit: ^^^ dude beat me to it. :P
This is incredible.
Matt...I was in your exact same shoes last year and decided to lose 50lbs, which I did in about 6 months. I am down to 180lbs...running 10ks, cycling up to 100 miles a week, so I am pleased with all that. But I have nowhere the muscle mass you have.
Would you be able to break down your reps/sets for your daily exercises so I can have a base to work from? You gave plenty of info on the diet/supplements, so I will use that.
Awesome job at improving your life and congrats on the contest.

This is ****ing awesome. People put way too many limitations on what they think they're capable of and end up not even trying. You obviously didn't do that. If you want something bad enough you'll go get it. It's too bad more people don't that type of mentality. Either way you've got my respect. Awesome job.

You took a crazy aggressive approach. And you know what? It worked. Great job man. Most people say the hardest part is to get down to your ideal weight. Maintaining that weight is easier (not to suggest it's easy - but easier than losing all that weight). Sometimes you need to be aggressive to get down to your ideal weight. That is what I'm doing right now - trying to be aggressive, but smart, to lose about 20 more pounds. Thanks for the information . . . and inspiration.

Nice work, very inspirational. It's helpful to see people make these changes to keep you going. You are dead on right about learning how to be hungry and not eat. Hunger is progress, hunger means you are burning fat and accomplishing your goal. Hunger is the goal to a point. It's always funny how you see all these weight loss programs that tell you "you won't be hungry....". There's really no escaping it. Deal with it, embrace it.

You use to different protein powders? Also do you just add a scoop to the shake and drink it or do you make the Oatmeal and eat it normal?

Hey, Matt. Like you, I'm an engineer and 20 years of sitting behind a computer has been hard on me. I was always athletic, a Marine, cyclist, lifter, then a fall from a bridge hampered my working out when I had to have a torn labrum repaired. I'm starting a workout based on yours with supplements and diet. I'm not pressed for time so I'm going to have a little higher caloric intake than you. You are proof that guys our age can still do it. Thanks for the inspiration and God Bless.

Congrats on the win Matt! Super inspiring stuff. I love looking at your workout templates here, I was wondering if you had the rest available?

Matt is missing in action.. Can you elaborate more on your workout routine please?

I don't think he's missing in action so much as totally overwhelmed by the attention, lol.

Is it possible to get the same results without supplementation or is that just a speed up the process thing?

Congrats, you're an inspiration for us 40-somethings. I recently dropped 25 lbs, going from 210 to 185. Looking to take the next step to lean out following your lead. Nice work.

Anytime someone makes a post about Intermittent Fasting on the Nutrition Forum everyone bashes them saying it does not do anything extra for fat loss. They say only a caloric deficit does that, and IF is only for helping with not overeating/ convenience. Any thoughts on that?

Hey Matt, could you provide more details on your lifting program, i.e. what did your set/rep scheme look like?
Congrats on your results, damned impressive.
Thanks.

Yahoo put up an article on this after I read this thread... The people responding were just killing him. How the whole thing seemed like setup and there was no way he did it all naturally and probably took sterioids and all of that crap. It doesn't look real... but reading what he has posted I totally believe everything he did and how it worked for him. An amazing transformation. People don't believe it because they don't have the drive to get there themselves so that must mean it's "impossible". Killer job man... fkn stellar.
