@ those stats, assuming you are lightly active, I would eat about 2700-3000 calories a day for 2 weeks and track your weight carefully. If it goes up more than 3 lbs or so I would drop the intake a bit. If it goes up less than 1 lb I would increase your intake. Once you start cutting, at your size, 1500-1800 calories a day is where you would want to sit, while keeping your protein as high as possible (if you can get 150 grams, that would be great).

In your front double bi, lats definitely look the weakest. Looking massive overall though. As for the handles, yeah, my friend is the same way, he was overweight and has been cutting for awhile but still has some handle action despite having almost an 8 pack lmao I'm sure your body will readjust after another bulk and cut. Those things seem to improve over time because fat doesn't distribute itself the same way every time you bulk.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Yeah, lats have been an issue, I'm going to have to get wider than a barn door to look right. I got a deep tissue massage and they went down to my lower back, but as I've beaten myself up they've stopped doing that haha

Re: The Fitness Thread
Some back progress.
Still needs a lot of work obviously, but that will come with time. My traps are fine though.

Re: The Fitness Thread
BUMP
What's up in fitness land everyone? Cutting progress: Down to 177.8 from a starting weight of 183.6. Calipers are putting me just under 11% right now. Goal % is sub 7, so I have about 7 lbs of fat to lose. Add in glycogen and water loss and my target weight right now is probably going to be 165 lb. Last august I weighed in at 156 @ sub 8, so if that weigh in pans out the way I want it I'll have gained over 10 lbs of muscle.

Re: The Fitness Thread
My problem right now is diet (surprise, surprise). I need to just accept that I hate protein shakes, haha.
Trying to compose a healthy diet that is both tasty and satiating that doesn't require a whole lot of pre-cooking. Whenever I do the whole "cook chicken for the week" thing and store everything in containers, it just ends up tasting like crap to me. I've got some mental aversion to leftovers or something. On the other side of the coin, it's hard to force myself to just *eat less*. I love food too much. Hrrrnggg. Will power is tough. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
My progress Is going pretty well. I'm about to start training at an MMA gym again. I've been working on my conditioning a lot on top of my normal strength routine. I've ran about 50 miles this past week and done a bunch of pad work(muay thai pads). My goal is to step in the cage by summer of 2014 and not lose a single fight(all my friends say I'm ready for the amateur level now, but I want to take as little damage as possible). I actually feel like I could go pro if I keep this up. Also I have been eating pretty clean. I don't ever drink soda and I have fast food maybe once a week. I drink kale shakes every morning. I put in some Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, avocado, parsley, green peppers, a little coconut milk if I have some(I usually don't), ginger, and a few strawberries and sometimes a banana for some taste.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Almost done with cut. Should be a few more weeks.
I really hate this period of the cut because there's very little I can do to control how much weight I'm losing, and I have a very difficult cap on how many pounds I can lose per week. I've lost about 40lbs so far. I'll post pics when I'm done, but I don't want to post any progress pics yet because it will diminish the sexiness of the final result. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
Right now I'm on a 2200 calorie diet, protein minimum 150 g, goal 200 g, fats as low as reasonably possible, most of the rest goes into carbs. My breakfast and lunch are set every day, dinner + evening snacks vary.
I think I should adjust this upwards a bit to 2400 though since I'm still losing like 2 lbs per week, which was significantly faster than intended. Haven't lost an ounce of strength yet though, so I guess I'll see how my weight continues to change over the next few weeks. PROGRESS PICS: figured I would snap them now before I get too lean. Weigh in this morning: 176, down from 183.6 on starting day. BF% measured with calipers (7 point skin fold): 10.6% Flexed: http://i.imgur.com/SU4Iomk.png Unflexed: http://i.imgur.com/fZZFw4A.jpg (unnecessary face is unnecessary)
