Pl8er self-motivation.

[pl8er]

So winter is about half done roughly and I am at 222lbs. Goal weight of 225 is so close now, I should see it and sustain in the next week or so. Which means a couple weeks of my max weight and I will start to cut.

Deerhunters thread inspired me to post up some "fluffy" pictures of myself now so I can show me cutting back down. Wife is making homemade granola chunks tonight and I'll post up how to do it. It's easy, cheap and you can control what goes in....hard to beat that.

So stats as of today are 222lbs 14.75% body fat and I wanna say a 32BMI, I do not really pay attention to it, but it does take it and I watch the numbers.

Anyone not into fitness, BMI may help you. Those of us that are lifting or athletic, its not really important. Its for average body styles.

So here is me. This is as bad as it gets with fat :laugh:

Had a pretty good workout today and was doing bench at X3 for heavy lifts. Got to 335X3 (was about my 6th set or so) So strength is there, I plan to use DH's cut plan to retain as much muscle as possible. If you haven't seen his thread, find it...if you are thinking about cutting down, his way WORKS.

[pl8er]

Yeah, I do not get in the sun much :P Also, I'm a hairy bitch. These things are facts ha ha ha

[Porch Monkey]

Nice!

DH's way would kill me.

[pl8er]

Nice!

DH's way would kill me.

It is a bit extreme, but a high chance for success.

[Porch Monkey]

No doubt, high chance of death for me.

For $100,000, I may fulfill your fantasy, PM me about it. Not sure about the pubes thing though...might be crossing a line for me.

Work to be done though, I'm a medium to slightly under medium framed guy, this is really pretty bad for me. Appreciate the complement though :)

I am so close to 5'8" that I just may be 5'8" but not sure. ahahhaha. Sometimes I say 8", sometimes 7".


Good luck with the cut, man. I look so much fatter in my pics, its crazy. Of course I also poked my gut out, let my boobs sag, didn't stand up straight, etc. Makes for more impressive progression photos ;)

[pl8er]

thanks! First couple weeks of cutting are the hardest for me, after that I break into a habit and don't even notice.

[Captain Ahab]

It took me 2 days to get back in the routine. lol.

Went out last night and didn't even want to drink. Been cooking every day too.

[pl8er]

this is actually why you get so shredded man! You have better willpower once you are in the zone.

Wasn't really THAT much of a DL

It's a repoast from another thread.

[pl8er]

[adio]

i would like to learn how to cut :(

[pl8er]

[adio]

[Spider Monkey]

Okay, iTT. If three people can do it, then I will finally pay attention to this weird cult working out shit.

My attention. It is yours.

bump for extra attention

[pl8er]

Thanks bb :)

[pl8er]

Anyone have a suggestion on the best flavor of ON protein?

[mackin]

I like Tropical Punch. Turbo Chocolate from the new Platinum protein is good.

Stay as far away as you can from Cookies and Cream. I wanted to throw up and kill myself.

[Captain Ahab]

BANANA CREAM!

As mackin said, stay away from Cookies N Cream. And also Rocky Road. both of them are AWFUL.

Double rich chocolate is good too.

[Spider Monkey]

You guys sure seem to spend a lot of money on all of this bullshit when you could get the same thing for practically nothing. I'd tell you where, but I don't know which isle they sell powdered milk in.

[Captain Ahab]

You guys sure seem to spend a lot of money on all of this bullshit when you could get the same thing for practically nothing. I'd tell you where, but I don't know which isle they sell powdered milk in.

Milk = casein protein = slow absorbing= good before bed time or first thing in the morn

Whey protein= fast absorbing = good for before and after workouts

[Spider Monkey]

Milk = casein protein = slow absorbing= good before bed time or first thing in the morn

Whey protein= fast absorbing = good for before and after workouts

There is only one way to get protein in a powder form and that is milk. And Whey is milk dummy. I don't care what you 'specialists' have convinced yourself. You can't fucking change chemistry no matter how strong you are. You are pissing your money away for pretty labels. All of you.

[mackin]

NO!

[Spider Monkey]

yes

[Captain Ahab]

Fail troll.

[Spider Monkey]

Fail troll.

Yes, on your account. I'm educated.

[Captain Ahab]

Whey is a byproduct of cheese which is a by product of milk.

Milk powder and protein powder WAY different nutrition wise, bb.

[Spider Monkey]

Milk powder is pure. Protein powder is milk powder with other shit mixed into it. You could do the same in your own kitchen. I'm just saying that ya'll are spending a ton of money on some very simple shit.

[Captain Ahab]

I spend about $.50/scoop.
So about $7.50/week on 360g protein.
Good deal IMO.

I don't remember what I spent on my 5 pound tub. Or where I got it for that matter... :crap:

Maybe the vitaminshoppe?

Damn....I'll steer clear of cookies and cream.

[pl8er]

and lols to the powdered milk. I buy protein for the convenience of not having to do anything more than scoop it in a blender. Not to mention, I know the exact quantities of each thing that is in the container.

i would think that is the reason most ppl buy protein.

powdered milk= the powder and water. thats better than store-bought protein?

[Pootie]

Is good for a day or two but if you drink five shakes a day that shit gets nasty quick. I say stick with Chocolate. I never tend to get tried or dread drinking my daily shakes of it as I do with other flavors.

[pl8er]

Are you guys putting anything with it besides milk or water?

[Pootie]

Are you guys putting anything with it besides milk or water?

Every morning I drink a shake and add

cup of oats
1 banana
frozen blueberries
frozen mixed fruit
about table spoon of peanut butter
yogurt
and honey

[adio]

Are you guys putting anything with it besides milk or water?

i always use milk, but i wonder if im screwin myself, since the casein in milk is probably slowin down the intake of the protein. should i just do water?

[Pootie]

Personally I stick with water.

[Captain Ahab]

Always water for me.

but i use milk in my casein protein powder before bed.

[Porch Monkey]

should eat like a king in the morning

[mackin]

i just use water with mine.

[pl8er]

I use skim, but take my shakes at night. Actually found out from junior I am WAY under my protein intake.

I could be so much bigger.

" I'd like to thank the one person that helped me get to where I am today, my trainer, Deerhunt1988. CRUNK POWER!"

[pl8er]

LOLZ!

[pl8er]

Well we officially start 2010's cut tomorrow. I just drank a protein shake for night (water and a scoop, and it beings).

Spent ~540 dollars on groceries today and I'll post up those pics of all the food tomorrow sometime.

Starting off with 1 pill twice a day. So 20mg E 200mg C each pill. I'll bump up to 2 in a week or two and hold that.

My wife and I have been cooking all night. Lots of longgrain rice, chicken breasts, potato etc.

I'm feeling prepared.

[mackin]

Good luck, man. Or I guess, good luck, guys.

[pl8er]

Thx! :)

[pl8er]

Well day one going strong. Actually going pretty well. Lots of food to eat, so you are never hungry. I feel like a million bucks though, can't lie. Just knowing that everything going in is right, makes a boy feel proud :) Here are some pics of shopping last night.

speaking of food, brb

[Porch Monkey]

so is this a month or week?

[Captain Ahab]

DAYUM, thats a lot of food!!!

$30 worth of Mrs.Dash. lol. I love the mesquite, not a fan of the original though.

Lemme know how that ground turkey tastes.

[pl8er]

Food will be hard to say how long...I would say a few weeks of food, at least.

Ground turkey is YUM, without question. yeah, I LOVE salt...so we had to have subs.

[atoz350]

There is a grocery store on your table.

[Porch Monkey]

nga robbed a health food store

[pl8er]

I am a health food store now. It will be interesting to see how much strength I keep.

Thank you Alberto-Culver USA Inc! You are my saving graces through this diet.

You will be surprised. I may have lost 30lbs off my bench max in 6 months of cutting. 3 1/2 months of bulking and I was past my old max.

Lost even less off legs.

[statonburrell]

where you from?

[pl8er]

Do you just cut until you bulk or do you have a maintaining time too?

I'm in Ohio.

[statonburrell]

oh damn, I saw the SC codes and thought you mighta been from south carolina..

[Porch Monkey]

26/M/GA

you?

[Captain Ahab]

I went straight from cutting to bulking. Wanted to get my strength back. Saw how fast it came back so I am not going to jump into my next bulk so quick.

[Captain Ahab]

You have any side effects from the ECA pills? When I took that stuff I did big time.
But since u have been on SX on all that it probably didn't affect u as much.


This go round just the Bronk Aid + caffeine pills hasn't really given me any side effects.

bit of cloudy vision from time-to-time...thinking from not taking in enough water.

I have a pretty good tolerance to this kinda pill though.

So how long till you really started seeing results? Sorry, lots - o - questions here...but you're my inspiration on this! I keep showing people your pics ha ha (tell them your before is your after and your after is your before, if that makes any sense).

Still, you got shredded.

[Pop Da Hatch]

I always take it slow the first few weeks on it. Both times I almost had to quit a workout b/c I thought I was going to faint.

And yeah I figured you would after the SX. I reckon the side effects really only hit you the first time you take stuff like that. I didn't lose much of my appetite this time compared to last.

You will start seeing results in a couple weeks. You can't really go by the scale though. I figured that out real quick.

You will wind up staring in the mirror at yourself every day. :hilarious:
I do it enough I can tell when I'm shedding without even stepping on a scale.

ahahahahahahahahaha

Me fight = tackle. I have the perfect build for it. lol.

[pl8er]

First week down. It's tough, I won't lie. I have to pile food all the time and if I forget to eat, I basically shut my body down. Still, minus yesterday, my results are great.

My blood pressure is much lower! However I'm a bit exhausted too. I didn't space out my meals great yesterday and I think that hit me pretty hard.

The weight jumps all over the place but at my max towards the start of last week, I was 225

This morning I was 216.2

[mackin]

damn, that's hella loss for one week.

[pl8er]

damn, that's hella loss for one week.

Tell me about it! Today I lifted like a little girl LOL

Hey Justin, I just replied to your text. Your body is detoxing right now, yes, and the first week you usually drop a fair bit of weight because of this. 7-10 lbs. the first week is high, but not uncommon. You're most likely tired because of this weight loss. bodies not used to it. Your joints have loss some fat and water as well, so they don't have as much lubrication in them. Hence why you may not have been pushing as much as normal. Once your body levels out after this first week or two, you'll be fine again. Keep with it and we'll have you running at peak performance in no time!

ahhh, so a cutting cycle causes your joints to get sore? I've been wondering why they've been hurting me so bad lately... my damn knees and elbows are killing....

[junior]

Ya, you're taking lubrication out of them, same thing as running your vehicle without oil.

[statonburrell]

so my fishoil and flaxseed oil should still be continued even though I'm not lifting as heavy as I was? my joints are still basically under stress?

[junior]

so my fishoil and flaxseed oil should still be continued even though I'm not lifting as heavy as I was? my joints are still basically under stress?

That's why it is so important to make sure you drink as much water as possible, I make my male clients drink 2-3 gallons of water a day when getting ready for a show.

You can keep taking your fish oil and flaxseed, just make sure to take them out at least two weeks before your contest. I take all supplements out of my diet when I start cutting 16 weeks out. I'm just old school that way. The less variables you put in your body the less chance of something preventing you from looking your best. When you get to 6-7% BF and under, the slightest changes in the body are 100 times more noticable.

I figured as much. My body is like WTF ha ha ha. I'll keep going strong. Yesterday was just scary because I felt like I had the flu and didn't want to get up.

[pl8er]

I have a bit of joint trouble in my right elbow, but everything else is perfect. I'm only taking fish oil, but will continue on it because I've always had great luck. I need to copy my blood pressure to you because it significantly dropped. Who knew not taking down all that salt would make me better ha ha ha

[pl8er]

i'll take nudes sometime this week too.

[pl8er]

I doomed myself, no question. I'm missing a couple things but I want heavy protein and lower carbs....i ran myself out of energy :laugh:

[pl8er]

for instance I was 40% carbs and 60% protein for some reason yesterday...maybe I messed up the calcs a bit, but that would explain me running out of all forms of fuel.

[pl8er]

Starting week 3. This cut is getting a bit easier. I can't follow it to a T, so I know I wont see the results that could happen (business schedule and such makes it hard) but I will not cheat on the diet! The worst I've done is a few pieces of fruit for a smoothie. Keeping the calories right is easier during the week than it is during the weekend because of sleep schedule etc. Still, results are showing.

At 214 this morning, body fat is lowest it has been since early November (can't recall exact number atm)

So this has been delayed as I am well beyond swamped at work. I continue to follow my diet to the T. The only real cheats I've allowed myself has been a glass of wine last Saturday.

My strength has returned. I am not even close to my 385 bench at this point (I doubt my joints could support the weight) but I can control 315 without assistance for 3-5.

Weight was at 208 this morning. I'll get some pictures up this weekend.

Going to Arnold Expo!!! WOOOT Always a motivator too with all the buff people LOL.

I've also found that the food costs much LESS after the initial start-up than my old diet. I eat often, but really less food and better food.

[pl8er]

Also, anyone saying "the food cannot be good on this diet" let me just say you're doing it wrong ;)

Everything I'm to post has no salt, no butter, ratio is 35% protein and 55% carbs (were applicable).

Looking at the pics, I did have a cup of fruit recently which is technology a cheat for me too.

not a quish, it was actually a friatta?? made with egg beaters, chicken breast and low fat or no fat cheese.

Yeah, you do get some salt from your foods, but do not put any additional.

[pl8er]

no butter on the toast, but cinnamon yes. We use some sort of butter substitute. I really do not know, it was just handed to me.

Cream Cheese is a "freebie" you can eat that without concern. It's on a cutting diet plan.

[Porch Monkey]

even better! I love that stuff!

Well, if you're saying that's who I need to get over to my place, then so be it.

I've got some wine she'd love as a thank you gift :naughty:

Man, every time I type in this, I realize I need to do more pics. My weight has been staying somewhat stable and I continue to see losses. I'm 206.5 this morning. Meals have been good (staying on plan) however I have had a few minor cheats. Nothing horrible but a glass of wine here and there and some fruit (not horrible, but still not on my diet plan).

Work is still killing me, so I'm not getting as much gym time. I've been trying to increase my cardio and do some night walks with the family too.

Here are some foods I've had recently.

BBQ steak and corn (rice was on the side not on plate yet)

This looks really unhealthy but minus the fruit it is basically just creme cheese (fat free) wheat crust pizza crust and natural peanut butter.
