Thanks brother! Abs get bigger!
You think I should try to go high reps? Right now it is around 20 to 8 for 6 sets weighted per workout.
If so how many should I shoot for?

Wrong guy lol. I barely do any ab work - it's one rock hard solid block under a nice layer of fat! Other than hanging leg raises and near vertical situps which I enjoy showing off on of course...

However, Attaching a picture , bought me some new jeans and this guy is back in a 32" waist!!!! I started off in a 38 when I first joined AM and a 36 when I subbed into this thread! Super stoked . And FYI, the shirt is an XL Studhorse

Oh man. That is a ton of work. You are working out hard and being consistent. But letting your diet go all weekend?
Are you seeing progress? If you are then I am all for the fun. But if not then we know why, right?
Geez. At 165 I was in 32s. Now I feel bad. I gotta get my Shiz back together and get things going again here...Now that I've given you a nice head start. Haha

You know, I'm not really seeing much progress. I stick to my diet for 5 days then kind of just say screw it. I think it's because in the back of my mind I know that I don't need to lose a whole lot of fat and I keep thinking "ahhh, it's only the middle of January. I could reach my goal by the middle of March if I stuck with it". It's my own fault for sure. I should probably set a more modest deficit like 500 calories because I think when I do the days of 1000-1300 it just makes me super hungry the next day.
At least the workouts have been fun! Tomorrow's squats and then some more pullups/pushups ladders. Woooo!!!!

definitely want to reach my goals! i'm starting today and will take it serious. i see how hard all of you guys are working so i want to be apart of it!
i weighed myself this morning and i'm actually up in weight. i was 176. Took a picture as a "starting" point and from here on out i'll try to make continuous progress instead of backpedaling! thanks for the kick in the nutz!

I'll tell you what bros... I really fcked myself on vacation!!! I was off 10 days and didn't get enough protein, drank way too much, ate like sh1t etc...
I'm down ~4 lbs and my gut looks a little bigger.
My lifts are down... idk how it's possible to lose muscle mass that fast... wtf!

Haha - you are already leaner than most on here. I'm not trying to kick you in the nutz, but let's be real. For you to get leaner, you will need some HARD work. If you want to do it, then I'm gonna push.
Plus, the way I look at it - there are so many people in this thread that have worked hard. Some haven't even come close to the goal, but they've put in work. But BEAST73 FireTitan ma70 Tank999 and a dozen other guys I left out - they won't be cutting forever. We need people to pick up the torch and carry on their hard work. And given your consistency in the gym - I see you as one of those guys going forward. And soon, you will have to kick someone else in the nutz - because we ALL need it. Myself included.
I am with you my man. I have been kind of half-assing it since Turkey day and I've gained way too much. Like, I can't believe how fast I gain weight and how retarded my eating can get. I am planning an attack again once I get through some stuff at work and get life back in order a little - but I need to lose weigh bad.
What's funny is that a year ago, I was PSYCHED to hit 185. Now, I feel incredibly fat at that weight. Mr. Chubbs.

Didn't go to the gym but I did do 25 minutes of cardio on incline treadmill. Burned a couple hundred calories. I also kind of figured out why I gained a few pounds this last week. I started taking creatine again last week so probably just holding onto some water now. Makes sense! I was wondering why I looked just as lean and none of my measurements went up but weight increased.
Non training days are boring. Tomorrow will be good though! Got some OHP so I'm looking forward to it!

Got on the scale this morning and saw 214lbs. Still have a bit of stomach distention from the food poisoning, but feeling much better. Hit legs today for the first time in a month or so(since I hurt the knee) it was fairly quick but felt great, that is until I tried to get into the fire truck....no bueno.
