Perspective.

You're in the gym killing it, I'm an old washed up athlete lifting light weights. Gotta gimme something, lol.


Hey now! I'm just above 10% on the loco scale:

Don't fatten me up for no reason, kc.

So what's the plan now, fitness modeling?

Please please please

There's actually an ongoing clinical trial using G4S noodz as treatment for vaginal dryness. FDA approval should be in ~12 months, tops.

10/29/18-11/04/18 average: 4192kcal - 261.8 lbs; 7.52%
11/05/18-11/11/18 average: 4452kcal - 261.7 lbs
11/12/18-11/18/18 average: 4235kcal - 261.9 lbs; 7.52%
11/19/18-11/25/18 average: 4206kcal - 260.4 lbs
11/26/18-12/02/18 average: 4226kcal - 261.2 lbs; 7.85%


I think it's pretty safe to say that my current maintenance calories are right around 4200+, which is pretty fantastic for a future deficit. As can be seen though, I've been pretty lazy the last 6 weeks or so just spinning my wheels. I had initial plans to drop kcals a while back, but then...nah. I'll probably keep it at maintenance through the holidays, then cut in January. Maybe I'll even log a week of training here sometime. Maybe.

So this is a pretty standard maintenance food week at this point.
So this is a pretty standard training week at this point.

I'm not strong, but aesthetics are probably the best they've been, so I've got that going for me. Which is nice. Training will likely continue on this path for the foreseeable future. Maybe forever. Who knows.

Thanks TC, this is my life now.

Bikini competitions ahead for you?

Nah, I won't be getting out the sash and heels.

Honestly, I can't imagine a scenario when I look in the mirror and feel confident enough to step on a bodybuilding stage. If I'm not bringing a pro level physique, which I'm not, I can't do it.

Random check-in.

Do something every day in 2019: 36/36 so far.

Mostly two-a-day sessions with afternoon 'cardio' and evening weights.

Currently on week 5 of a cut, which is going swimmingly. A planned 3 more weeks to go.

Bloodwork completed last week, loco would be happy with my T levels.

Nice!

What does 'cardio' consist of?

Also, cut? You seemed pretty shredded last time we got a nude. What else is there to cut?

A few days a week it consists of muay thai/mma/boxing striking. Other days are walking, jump rope, deadmill pushing, etc... Just getting sweaty for 30-60 minutes.

Gotta go up and down to make the gains, it's the only way to really progress. Last pics were 245 @ 7.56%, so it's working it seems.

This is where I'm at currently:

12/24/18-12/30/18 average: 4460kcal - 263.1 lbs; 8.34%
12/31/18-01/06/19 average: 3371kcal - 260.8 lbs
01/07/19-01/13/19 average: 3498kcal - 258.3 lbs; 7.85%
01/14/19-01/20/19 average: 3474kcal - 256.7 lbs
01/21/19-01/27/19 average: 3261kcal - 256.3 lbs; 7.52%
01/28/19-02/03/19 average: 3120kcal - 254.3 lbs; 7.36%


And ftr, cutting on 3k+, as I predicted above in December, is pretty damn nice and easy.

Well, another 8 week or so mini-cut in the books. Not surprisingly, the math works exactly like it should with regards to weight loss (and weight gain). Who knew?

This weeks kcals ended up a little higher than I wanted, but I was feeling super flat mid-week and decided a pizza would fix that. It did, but the 5000+kcal day bumped my average up a little.

12/24/18-12/30/18 average: 4460kcal - 263.1 lbs; 8.34%
12/31/18-01/06/19 average: 3371kcal - 260.8 lbs

01/21/19-01/27/19 average: 3261kcal - 256.3 lbs; 7.52%
01/28/19-02/03/19 average: 3120kcal - 254.3 lbs
02/04/19-02/10/19 average: 2978kcal - 251.7 lbs; 7.36%
02/11/19-02/17/19 average: 3008kcal - 248.8 lbs
02/18-19-02/24/19 average: 3393kcal - 246.8 lbs; 6.86%

First time with bodyfat calipering in the 6's, so WR. Standard disclaimer:

Caliper #'s:


Gym nood (kinda):


Bloodwork for loco:



Back to the grind now, standard reverse coming for the a little while. I should get a nice fake LBM boost coming off the cut, but when you look at the actual numbers, this is the true story:

This was my last bodyfat PR:
08/20/18-08/26/18 average: 3457kcal - 245.4 lbs; 7.19%

And this is my current bodyfat PR:
02/18-19-02/24/19 average: 3393kcal - 246.8 lbs; 6.86%


So basically in 6 months, I've put on just over one pound of muscle. #nattygains

The realities truly are sobering.

Nice work!
