what - i'm not allowed to motivate you a lil bit on the internet?
you're the one who put me on front street here brosef..ima crack the gawddam whip, keep you in line :whip:

you know you're doing good work here, is all evident
but truth is, there are certain things you really need to avoid, if you hope to reach your goals..
cheats can be overcome - but all that does, when working a very specific plan, is set you back every time
your metabolism is a tough one!

Yes you are chest Rockwell


Ha we must be looking at different chests. Your structure is much better than mine! I have these fukin fat pockets on the side of my pecks I've struggled with my whole life. The fat on the sides of my chest and my love handles are holding on for dear life right now lol.





Lol what a dick (Jim not monte)

Dan look at my pics you will see the very same fat pockets under my chest and my abs are pretty much in, they don't go away for me until around 6%. Not saying it will be the same for you but the person bothered by it is me. Nobody else says man your buff except for your boobs... Don't get me wrong I look at them every damn day with disgust but I have learned to enjoy my other gifts more. You have a massive back and a damn good chest so own that and be proud of it.

Agreed, if not a planned free meal a cheat meal only cheats yourself. Not harping on you Dan because developing that discipline unless naturally OCD about it, takes time just as much time and maybe even more mental effort than the work put in to build the muscle. YOu are doing great, but you could be doing even better it what the Diet Nazi is saying. NO CHEATS FOR YOU!!!
 
Eat more but clean, while increasing activity level quite a bit and it will come up. Use HIIT for cardio and very short rest periods, increased frequency in training and it will go back up quickly. Also look into Reset AD... It will help reset you from such heavy stim use.

Thanks Kleen. Appreciate it bro.
 
yeah simon looks like kleen got you covered
when he says "eat more" - that does not mean double your cal intake!
small increases, and no more than 500cals/day - i'd actually start at maybe ~250 and go from there

Yes definitely, I figured he would know that but good of you to add it because I could have easily been wrong. If 500 make sure you burn 500 more a day... Idea is to feed yourself more but not leave any surplus after activity or very little anyway.

Not sure if you are looking for suggestions or not. But you could take a look at FST-7

I've actually never even looked into that. I just might have to. I honestly might make another run at MD lol
 
Now I'm not Pro or Anti X fit really. I have my opinions on it but my opinions pretty much only apply to the ass clowns at my gym who think they're bad asses because they X fit, but thats neither here nor there. DLB is a beast..just thought I'd share this...a smokin hot beast lol

Unsatisfied and hungry lol...seriously though I dunno. I'm glad I didn't go all out and everything but still not to the point where I'm like "eh I don't even want that"....yet. Ill get there though in time I think. It would be easier I feel like if I was in "prep mode" or something. Like I had something to work towards maybe? If that makes any sense

You need a transformation contest in your life. I'm busy or I would participate. I think paratroop might be good competition though :)

understood on the boldened - it takes time brother; how long? depends on each individual person
but to get that point, for most folks, it requires abstinence for a good long while, and a change in the thought process of instead of looking at things like you are "depriving" yourself, you accept that you can not eat that way because you do not like the way you look/feel after you do

and then, comes the whole "taste bud" change, and a change in the foods you begin to crave (ie healthy choices)

you do not need a prep mode to remain on point! you think that is why I eat like I do? no sir
truly - I do not enjoy the taste of "bad things" any longer; the difference is, I pick & choose when I WANT TO have things that may be outside my diet; I do not let the foods dictate when THEY wish to be eaten, and control me ;)

it is a process..good work once again, and stick with it - I am proud of you

Thanks man means alot. I decided no more cheats until Mexico so I can give myself a goal to shoot for lol baby steps :)
 
Also did 2 miles worth of cardio on the trail tonight. A little mix if HIIT and jogging with the wife and kid. I had to wait about an hour after i got done lifting. Might be an ongoing trend in phase 3
 
Nice job Dan.. on the workouts and at the grad party.

Snag... you are awesome dude.. This thread is really preparing me mentally for the next week.. I always find the first week of a 'cut' the hardest..
