jonesBones40 gettin' shredded (hopefully)

[hungryH]

Down to 242 all numbers stayed the same for squats so I'm not mad. Am I right in thinking pounds will come off fast, but the last little bit will be hard?

yep, definitely. the leaner you get, the harder it will be to drop the fat.

keep at at man, when fatloss stalls drop cals and/or add more cardio, until you you're doing cardio 6-7 days a week for at least 45 mins, and your calories are as low as you can comfortably stand. After fatloss stalls further, bring in fat-loss aids such as clen, ect. Just make sure the drops arent too large, as you'll have less room to drop them again at a plateau. Good luck!

Your right in thinking the last bit of body fat is definitely the hardest to loose. The first week you will see a bigger weight loss but mostly due to water. You have 14 weeks till August, I would just listen to your body and and try to stay in between 1.5-2lbs.That leaves you dropping 21-28 lbs before August. Then there is always the option of playing with sodium/carbs the last week and drop 5-10 in water weight if you do it right.

Let us know if you need help with the meal plan.
Good luck with everything and keep us posted.

Any of y'all catch UFC 145? Jon Jones has been my favorite fighter for a long time. Is he the best light heavyweight of all time? I would say yes

[Lukef2000]

You don't want to eat carbs before bed.
Have some protein instead, the carbs will be stored as fat.
If you need help with a proper cutting diet, let us know or post up your full planned diet.

As long as it's within your planned macronutrient totals for the day it shouldn't be stored as fat. But since op has two serves of pasta during the day it probably would be LOL!

Yeah bro Jon Jones is the man. Youngest champ of all time and has now defended it three times. Rashad is the first guy to go the distance tho.

Such a debate around this...people who cut carbs swear by no carbs in the evening, others swear by getting daily macros...

[AaronJP1]

236.3

From 260 to 236 but no I just figure 8 eggs in the morning with a grapefruit and chicken for lunch and dinner is probably good to get a good cut. I think 220 is my new goal, theres a facking strong man comp at the end of May that I was invited to, swear these things come at the worst times lol and I needa get a tan no homo lol I tan easy bein part native but I'm pretty pale right now

[StackedCop]

Tanning is for real men! Great work man keep it up

[jonesBones40]

Hey guys I've hit a stand still in weight loss, should I cut all carbs out? Right now it's only a sweet potato but that's late in the day

If you like sweet potato I would say keep it. Just lower your calories somewhere else during the day.

[jonesBones40]

They're already pretty low compared to what they were previously. I would say a solid 2000-1500 calorie drop from bulking. I don't want to starve myself and go into a catabolic state.

[breezy11]

If you don't want to drop calories I guess you could try to "clean them up" if there's any room to. I'm actually more of a believer in "calories in vs. calories out" than what and when you eat affecting weight. If I'm not dropping weight (when that's my goal) I'll slowy lower calories until I do.

[jonesBones40]

234.3 and feelin good, I'm gunna let these next 10 pounds fall off slowly to preserve muscle
