deciding to drop to ~2500 average after the last day tommorow

It's going OK. but I want to speed it up.

175/325/44 - high day : 175/525/33

~2500 average . still 4 300kcal cardio


My goal is to get lean, maintain for a good amount ~16 weeks while reversing a bit

and slowly prep to shredd status

feeling very motivated

[AntoineDufour]

172.4 AFTER the high day. which is good. I'd say im 168-169

stepping **** up though with the start of next week.

Hoping to hit 160~ within 3 weeks .

[phillysteak]

In! Love that you're doing a slow process. I am finishing up my first 35 week prep and definitely looking to stay within 20ish lbs and prep for 20-24 next time.

Could be way off here, but the only thing that came to mind reading your opening was maybe to save cardio bumps for when they might be implemented best. Like, not just adding 200kcals steadily if it's not needed, if that makes sense? Just makes for probably a smoother prep for as long as possible

[AntoineDufour]

yea I decided to just do ~2500 average 4 300kcal cardio

adjust if needed.. get to 6-7% reverse back up to 10%~ and THEN begin prepping.

[AntoineDufour]

171.0


motivation is high. time to speed it up as I said. can't wait

[AntoineDufour]

saved ~325 carbs [all my carbs] until I got home from bbq.

I am so dedicated now, nothing will make me stray. I have iron will power

169.4 today

here is a random pic from yesterday



i'll try to get some more caps of the posing vid too

[AntoineDufour]

one thing I want to say. I think it's very important to be happy if you are going to embark on this type of journey.

Doing it for the wrong reasons is a recipe for disaster.. I know from past failures. I never been happier.. and it feels simple now.

Not easy. It takes sacrifices.. and to normal people those sacrifices are way too much. For me it's nothing

I don't mind going to BBQs... get togethers.. etc and not eating.

It doesn't phase me.

Thanks to people who are following/lurking

I promise nothing but amazing results.

[AntoineDufour]

I need to learn to pose better lol, makes me look imbalanced because 1 arm is lower slightly in lat spread but w/e



lol dat face tho..

[AntoineDufour]

169.2 [new low]

[AntoineDufour]

168.4 [new low]

everything is going amazing

[AntoineDufour]

today's eats so far.. 122p/118c/34f

I always make sure to save ~200 carbs for 11pm aka last meal

and first meal is usually 12-1

only eat 2 meals a day



2 chicken sandwiches .. 1lb of chicken and 2 servings light mayo on it

and milkyway bites

last night I had a box of gobstoppers to meet my carbs.

I tell you..this is torture... Not serious. Simple as hell, yes it takes some effort but not much.

[AntoineDufour]

167.4 [new low]

[AntoineDufour]

even though i'm basically logging for myself.. I am feeling good. At this point the only way I would stray is if a gun was pointed to my head. I am determined..and I will reach my goal.

Hopefully sunday's progress pics look improved.

I can't wait till I actually get to the leanishhh point.

[AntoineDufour]

167.2 [new low]

[AntoineDufour]

decided to do ~600kcal cardio today instead of 300 today/300 tommorow

this way I do nothing on refeed day

here is meal 1 of today



~225g carbs left for 11pm tonight

[AntoineDufour]

166.8 [New low]

[AntoineDufour]

edit: 166.8* post refeed


progress pics coming either tonight or tommorow

[AntoineDufour]

[AntoineDufour]

167.0

training wise..I am doing mostly 1 main heavy strength set, dropping down for 4 sets 10% and rest of session is volume work
.

I been hitting PRs so..can't complain.

Strength sucks on everything but the deadlift kinda..but it's alright

[AntoineDufour]

165.6 [new low]

[jpfaherty]

Always lurking bro

What do you think your weight will bottom out at?

[AntoineDufour]

it's just annoying with how weak I am. I am probably not competing by next year.


I'm not that strong, I have OK mass / enough to compete, but I feel I'm not ready


I have no idea about weight. I'm hoping I'll be pretty lean ~150

6-7% is the goal for now

After that I will slowly improve/gain

[AntoineDufour]

162.4 [new low]

[AntoineDufour]

~164 but really ~162 or so

[AntoineDufour]

about ~160 now. I'd say I'm going to aim for another ~15 to lose. Not close to where I want to be, but definetely looking much improved.

[AntoineDufour]

still around ~160 . Now is more of a patience game I'd say.. because I don't want to lower calories at this point.

Cardio is up to ~2000kcal total from 1200 start.

Looking better but still feel fat as fuuck

I'd say ~14% being realistic..

so still a good ~15 to go before I reach my goal, but I will probably go to ~145

[AntoineDufour]

~159.. I'd like to say I'm 13% but not sure.
