Get Huge Or Get Lost

[ZyklonB]

Thx! I feel great and motivated - great combo.

I'm sure w/o the cardio the fat lose would have been less. Cardio + low carb on off days is the key so far it seems.

nice work man!! getting bigger where you want and smaller where you want lol.

stomach is always that last part to go.

TRUTH!

Today was my monthly weigh in and measurement time.

I've been lifting and doing cardio 100% consistent for one month.

I'm tracking 1 month at a time and will take some pics Dec 1.

So check out and let me know what ya think. I'm pretty happy with the exception of expecting a bit more of decrease in my stomach measurement, but I know how to fix that - more cardio and cut carbs on off days

Weight: 171lbs
Chest: 40in
Shoulders: 43in
Biceps: 12in
Forearm: 10in
Stomach: 38in
Quads: 22in
Calves: 14in

Weight: 174.5lbs

Shoulders: 44in
Biceps: 12.5in
Forearm: 10.8in
Stomach: 37.5in

Calves: 15in

Since I've cut my carb intake in half on my off lifting days down to about 100-150grams, I expect to see more fat loss by next month and adding in more cardio will help as well. Goal for waist is to get down to 36in by Oct 31

Excellent Job! Have you gotten a BF% measure? Keep up the great work. Regarding the stomach...did you measure yourself before or after lifting today? Did you eat or drink anything before? Did you shit before measuring (possible bloat from a meal or dinner yesterday). Regardless, you're gaining weight and slimming down...that's awesome!

[ZyklonB]

Weighin and measurements on empty stomach after taking a shit and before doing anything at all.

Haven't done a BF% but would be interested in knowing. Anyway to get a rough idea from online sources?

Thx for the congrats, I'm goin keep on rolling!

[BBOY87]

Looking at your videos and knowing you were hovering around 170lb I would say you're sitting at 12-16%BF (rough guess, I could be way off). You do have good form though on your videos!!!

And are you measuring your waist were your pants sit or your actual stomach?

[ZyklonB]

Thx, good form is the key, not just jerking big weight.

In regards to measurements, I'm measuring at my belly button level.

The rest of the measurements are done relaxed at middle of each body part.

I guess to be sure on BF, a caliper is needed.

Good gains! Keep working hard and you'll certainly make that goal! Congrats!

[ZyklonB]

Thx, just seeing those small gains = big motivation

Good to hear someone else agreeing on the carb cut on off days. I know dropping down 1.5inches in a month bit sound insane but if I keep w/ the carb cycling and change my cardio around by doing longer sessions at lower intensity 6-7 days a week, I'll hit my goal.
