bader85's 2012 Contest Transformation Log

[Colstreamer]

Bader dont worry too much about shrinkage, I always worry my chest seems to be deflating when I start dropping fat, it's cos I get flabby pecs (apparently its common with British men, something about too much warm beer....) as you drop fat you will lose size cos the fat is no longer there to bulk it up.

On another note, what you're saying about your bod responding better to high intensity, that fits your blood type profile. According to mine I should be doing yoga! Not weightlifting and kickboxing...

Also I've decided to go low carb during the week, probably 100g or less. then do carb loads every weekend. Unless someone thinks I should do it more often? Some say every 3 days or so, but that's with like. no carb whatsoever right? I figure 100g won't make me seriously weak or tired, It'll mostly be pre-post workout, and then do around 500-600g on saturday/sunday. Thoughts on this guys?

Personally your biggest meal should be breakfast keep carb loading moderate up until after 1 pm ,try that and see hoe its works ,it's all trial & error!

Mmm love me a big ole breakfast. I pretty much eat whatever I want for breakfast and try to limit carbs in the afternoon. Evening meal is pretty much always lean meat (fish these days) and green veggies.

Good deal guys. Excellent info LG. I'm going to see how I manage.

I guess I get to remind myself that I'm no wanting to lose any of the muscle I've gained. So cutting purely is out of the question. Even if I don't lose a ton of fat during the contest. Lean bulking...

Got a busy day today! Though I'll have my workout in the evening and also doing a spinning class again. I kind of like it. And my legs get tortured.

I found out how to make my wife gag. After I got home I took my shirt off and rung it out in the sink. About two cups of sweat came out. I was going to video it, but figured it might be a little too gross. Lol

As of right now my back is sore from yesterday. Traps are sore from today. And I can barely walk or go upstairs from the spinning class. Love it

Bader, lookin trim bro. Def dropped fat, it's noticeable from your starting pics to this one. Don't be too hard on yourself you're doing well.

Good improvement, morning cardio would make a huge difference, i know everyone hates it but the rewards reap the benefits!
