A Journey: Dead Solid, Perfect - *Bunny* Log

[The Shadow]

Thanks for jumping in tomer The lats are usually the 1st thing to poke out


Thanks Shadow. I've been meaning to ask you... about calories
* the project I cut at around 1600-1800 cals ...
* the 2nd cut, it was more 1800-2300 cals ...
* this time around, with the RMR reading of 2678 cals, what are your thoughts on keeping the calories in the (generic) Weight Loss Zone of 2144 to 2678 cals?

I say generic because per the 'test' that was the suggested cal intake
Total Energy Output = RMR + Lifestyle + Exercise
according to the results...
3757 cals = 2678 cals RMR + 801 cals Lifestyle + 278 cals Exercise

***NOTE*** ^^ Exercise figure is based on only 30 MINUTES @ a moderate exercise Level... I would say I am at least 2-3 x that amount.

Given my previous cuts do you think that figure is kinda high?

If you want some #'s, ref. the 2nd cut ^^ with the 1800-2300 cal ratio:
Time 12 weeks
Starting/Ending Weight - 180 lbs / 162.14 lbs
Starting/Ending Bodyfat - 25% / 13%
Starting/Ending Lean Body Mass - 135.10 lbs / 139.79 lbs

My goal is to work the strength as hard as I can until I stall, and when/if I stall soon, the focus is going directly to Fat Loss.

yeah....seems a bit high to me.

I would cut on the same number of cals per pound of bodyweught...that is as close to the same relative environment that you had before.

HIIT and things really throw off those calculators.

I htink ifi you hit 2100 during thr week and 2500ish on a carb/fill up on the weekend - I think you would see great gains

I do remember inadvertantly zig zaging the cals too , I think a high day would be around the 25-2600 mark. Thank you.

I just get really worried because I MUST cut down for something in Jan. It is a MUST... that is why I wanted to employ some sort of a carb rotation and let the strength focus fade if it starts dipping. I'm weighing my options & trying to get back on track.

...maybe think about a lower carb diet initially.....25% carbs.....then IF you plateau - do the rotation.

You can go full bore on a cutting diet for 6-7 with no fat loss slow down

Here's my thick ass waist. 1 I just threw in there, I don't have the other pics on this computer sorry

2 & 3 are different, look at the thumb I did not manipulate these in any way other than cropping.

wtf??

are you trying to put more muscle on right now?

Or, does it just happen? lol

Funny that the #'s would tell you otherwise eh? No I am not trying to put on muscle... maintain it yes, lose some? May be inevitable. I was trying to work on my strength until I stall, then switch to #1 priority fat loss. Fat loss & Muscle maintence are = right now.

Does your camera have a timer? I set mine on a shelf & set the timer, & make sure the lighting is on the area being shot, but not too bright.
