Great change for 6 months. Nice work!
What was your workout and diet like for those 6 months. Were you consistent?
Well the first pic was in September, and I pretty much continued bulking moderately until the end of December.
My bulking diet is simple.. eat anything and everything in site. Shoot for TONS of protein but also eat desserts, sugary sodas, whatever I can to get more cals.
Then January 1st I started my diet. It was a new years resolution and it was only 6 weeks because I was going on vacation to Whistler February 15th.
For those 6 weeks I cut out ALL simple sugars. I was very strict. I may have had a SMALL cheat a couple of times in that six weeks, but not much. People thought i was insane. I was eating a super high protein, moderate fat, LOW carb diet. 90% of the fat was unsaturated. Basically lots of egg whites, chicken breasts, turkey, I cut back on milk drastically.
I used NYC.. started with one tab a day for the first two weeks.. then moved to 2 tabs a day.. then 2 tabs 2 times per day. It is great as an appetite suppressant and to give more energy when you lack it from carbs.
I also ran 3-4 times per week pretty intensely. I'd do 30 mins on the treadmill.. sometimes in the morning, sometimes post workout in the evening. I used Yohimburn on days that I ran.
I'm still pretty lean now, as you can see in the pictures.. but I was leaner before. I did lose some muscle with all the cutting which I would like to get back (and then some!).
