Good video showing how different every percentage level is depending on the person. People get way too obsessed about it.

Wish there was a decent tool to accurately track it. I got a Dexa scan and it came back at 6.9%. She asked me if I was in prep for a show. I laughed and asked if the machine was tuned recently. At the same time my scale said something like 30%.

people get super obsessed with bodyfat % for some reason.

I dont see why it matters at all. like how you look dont worry about it.

dont like how you look? cut. its really that simple i think.

most are so way off as well, they believe they are WAY lower then they actually are lol.

Lots of people in this hobby need numerics and data, when reality is sometimes it’s just not applicable/logical to what we do.

Same thing with weight. "I want to bulk to 220lbs or 240lbs." You ask why and they just say it's a goal. How about you add weight to a point in which you look the way you want and fuck it. What if you look fat at 210lbs and great at 200lbs? lol

yea everyone keeps asking me about the cut and whats my goal weight. i just tell them theres no goal weight its until you say im skinny enough :ROFLMAO:

most dont seem to grasp the concept of no goal weight
 
176.6

little lighter, probably gonna be heavier this week, or same from what I can tell at the moment, not that it matters but ive been eating super voluminous foods and salting the cucumber a tad so probably just a little water. overall feel like my physique is still improving, lower abdomen feels pretty tight and looks pretty tight which has been an eye sore forever.
almost knocked out as much as we can do atm I think.

hopefully when we grow again it doesnt jam pack the fcking abdomnen first again lmao.
i plan on hitting my lower abs fckin HARD next growth. grow it as much as humanly possible to fill in as much as can, lats obviously as well, and whatever coach deems necessary (everything im a small bitch lol). hopefully, now that bicep healed we can grow those too, just because its cool. no other reason.

went low stim yesterday and low stim today to reset tolerance and help with just overall sense of well being. too much of that shit doesnt help sometimes.

so so pull today

my back got pretty good work just got fatigued and makes sense, probably our most hellish routine.
ran outta gas pretty bad but finished up decently

basically hit all numbers, lost a few reps here and there, most of the failures were mental more then anything or just straight up fatigue.

just dropped a little weight on rear delts and on wg lat pulldowns, was ego lifiting a bit on them. felt way better on the 2nd set going down, lats upper back was on fire that set.

my side delts are fckin trashed from yesterday so bad can feel them just sore sore sore sore sore.



was dreading cardio, been killing me so bad. went ahead and went for the big boi 40 min stairmaster. fairly light but got it done.

i saw a dr mike reel recently that talked about mk677 and generating crazy hunger cravings for fast food, similar to when youve been cutting awhile.
i laughed so hard, i was like im there. Im SO THERE. Cravings up the ass so bad, shit ive never craved before all too much.

my mind is on food 24/7, burgers wings cakes pies shit like that. Cant get it out of the back of my head all day driving me nuts.

kinda why I picked up the stand by stephen king, been reading it at night before bed to get off insta and stuff alittle.
i feel like its helping me fall asleep gracefully way better.
Food scrolling making things worse I think, cant help it tho at the moment.


Stims tomorrow for hams and long day, my sleep avg has gone down but I feel pretty good upon waking so not worrying about it, biggest thing for me when I wake up, how do I feel?
rested and ready lets go then.

already got my meal plan for tomorrow and plan on eating post workout, breakfast then bunching up my meals as late as possible. Gonna ride the cucumber wave all day.
worked out having a highish carb day for tomorrow. ill post that plan a little later today since im still tweaking it.

today same foods no changes.
 
Depending on the pics looking good this week will be reversing out. We saw what we needed to see regarding the loose skin. This will give us 12 to 16 weeks before starting prep if you do the show we spoke about.

never cut again during holiday please, if we can avoid it lol.
new level of pain!

cant imagine the peeps going through prep during thanksgiving and stuff. i remember reading your email, last year, thinking what hell that must be, and here I am one of those cutting through the holidays. made it tho. home stretch even if we need a little more time.
 
Tattoo cancelled i just can't lol
Trip next week and if we continue cutting ain't no way.

I need carbs to heal lol

Rescheduling for winter 26.

Plus cruise coming up don't want issues with water and sun. I'm already gonna be annoying to my family with food. don't need to add another problem.

Plus this next growth important gotta prioritize.
 
176.8

So apparently there was bjj. I totally did not want to go but its new years eve and cardio later would be hard today I think so I went.

Got some damn good cardio in but I was so gassed and tired.

Ham day was okay. Workout takes forever. Used to be an hour pushing 1 30 almost. I'm just slow and tired atm. I imagine it's normal.

And my sleep was semi rough last night.
Woke up around 1230 and just starving. Drank a little almond milk to settle my stomach no way i could go back to bed without something.

Thankfully I did. Got about 5.5 semi restless but when I got up didn't feel like total dogshit at least.

I'm sure I'll feel it later today with bjj and all got my ass kicked. Being around 170 sucks lol.

My leg is so close! Dang it.

Got a few reps 275 but it started aggravating so just dropped back down. Couple weeks ago couldn't even do 1 plate without pain.

God I love this.

I get so much shit for how my kids eat.
We don't eat junk rarely. home cooked foods, packed lunches, restaurants on trips only.

Kids are happy well fed and in shape.

Family always giving us shit while my kids the only ones that are fit and active.

All the families kids obese or fat as well as the parents.

Always giving us the look, or frowning when they offer them sweets and I push their offerings away, or my kids say no on their own.

They pressure them so much to eat bullshit and sometimes we miss family events just because we don't want to deal with the "fit shaming".

Its like fuck you.

Thankful for my mom at least she's the only one who is onbaord and always asks me what they can eat when they sleep over and goes over what she's making for dinner and breakfast for them.

Its simple stuff but means alot. Spaghetti usually her go to and chorizo bacon and eggs and toast. Always has fresh cut veggies and fruits for them, yogurts, halo ice creams just healthier options for my kids.
 
I just finished your log that I have been reading over the last week. I feel like we have a similar past especially with Keto… I used to be the Keto King, and this Coach of mine has shown me it is all about the carbs. I was at 20 carbs or less for years. Now I’m sitting around 160 carbs on training days. I can’t even imagine hitting 750 in one day. You’re a machine!!!

Goalz!!

i dont even think when i was obese i was eating 750 lmao!
just tons of fat and protein. i cringe at my old meal plans, and my wife and I cringe so hard and just the sheer volume of food.

id make 6 ribeyes, eat 2, plus sausage, and some chips with salsa. maybe around 5pm 6pm on a sunday. shed eat roughly the same.
then maybe in the evening with like football id down another whole ribeye, more chips salsa and have hotdogs. insane!

sometimes wed eat a restaurant, pack the left overs and as soon as we got home, finish the left overs lol.

the maybe stop for sweetbread or cakes.
 
LOL is that mustard all over the lettuce?

I have been known to have my wife stick a bottle of my dressing in her purse so I can avoid stuff like mustard on my salad :ROFLMAO:

Been using the Skinny Girl Honey Dijon lately. 10 cal for 2 tbsp

Yea i love mustard!
I usually use skinny mixes chocolate suace on my lettuce. Completely zero cal.
I like it sweet generally and if I don't have them available spicy with mustard and vinegar hot sauce of some sort

Gotta stay on point by any means necessary.

Possibly our last week as well. Gotta stay tight or I'm getting another week 🤣

Although it's such a long day today testing my patience.

Taking loads of cucumbers and salad to my in-laws.

If I must go over today a little just veggies and extra cardio tomorrow. No biggie I think.

Plus moving around a ton luckily.and luckily my higher carb day. Working out well. Last week sucked with low day on Christmas.

Ive calorie banked good tho. Got 1200 for this evening

I thought it was some salad dressing then realized it was mustard and that's really not that bad when I think about it it.

Yeah I'll drink protein shakes before we go to a party or something to try and walk-in already full. Trying to find food at some places is awful. I've been to a pizza place that had "chicken" as a topping and I just ordered 5 of them to go on the smallest shittiest side salad possible.

Yea i usually pack my meals and eat at the restaurant or in the car if they don't let me take anything In. Rarely happens tho.

This is one of the rare times I got caught off guard.

Usually I order grilled chicken salads with everything on the side and just eat the lettuce. Main event one of the few places that had grilled chicken on the side with real macros thankfully.

Insta been loading me with these options lately.

There's tons of them. Been using them for my kids.

Although most boil down to no fries lol
Basically order 2 burgers no cheese and it's relatively macro friendly for most.
 
Made it to the in laws.
Prepped with an emergency cucumber. Probably over 12- 16ish carbs all lettuce when all said and done.

I'm fine now tho.

Extra cardio tomorrow! 40 min stairs maybe 30 incline walking? Sounds good to me.

Got 1000 cals in those bags and loads of diet drinks.

All said and done i made it. Been up since 3 am maybe up almost 24 hours lmao.

Slept really well. I guess 1100 cals pre bed helps heh
On stairmaster atm. knocking out my 40
Then recumbent or incline walking little later.

Late start to day should help with satiety i hope.

Push went decent thought it'd be a banger but ended up so so.

Mentally feel so good not drained at least or too fatigued just a little fire was missing for whatever reason.

Finished
extra 30 recumbent with son he did the incline walking.

Caught up!

Asked ketchup how to deal with fatigue at this time and moved stuff around.

Despite wanting to be full, veggies is just pure agony in fatigue, fills you up but energy wise lacking .

Ate a rice cake just now before cardio.

Feel better
