    8-10 Week Shred

    Next one starts October 5th. I didn't even place this round so I am going to have to do better next time. I am considering hiring a coach to help with meal plan and training.

    8-10 Week Shred

    I think they will start one back up in October. You do not have to follow their training plans, it is just a suggestion. They offer 3 or 4 plans based on goals, fat loss plan, muscle building plan, mobility plan and a hybrid plan for running and weightlifting. I checked my previous emails and...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Yes they do these bootcamps a few times a year. At least 2 or 3 each year. This is like the 6th or 7th one I have done. There will probably be a month off while the voting and submissions get reviewed and then I imagine they will do a fall one. You can sign up at https://www.buckedupbootcamp...

    8-10 Week Shred

    I fasted day before but drank my normal amount of water. The following day, I tried the dry fast and for the most part did not have any water except some distilled water with my daily vitamins. That evening I had some of the dried apricots and some other dried fruits. Along with some pizza...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Finished the competition. I am happy where I ended here. 189.4 and 4 inches off the waist from the beginning. Pictures were taken Saturday and I am still sitting at 190 this morning. I can see my abs once I flex but I still want them to be more defined, so it looks like I still need to cut...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Alright so wanted to give an update. Weighed in at 191 this morning, Down from 205-207 8 weeks ago. I am shooting for final weigh in to be under 190 and I will be happy. This should be easily doable with the water and dry fast. So my plan as of today is to have a protein shake later and then...

    8-10 Week Shred

    OK, perhaps I skip the test run and just stick to the plan on limiting carbs and calories before next week. I will follow through with your plan of limiting water the day prior to pictures. I will also try out the distilled water since that would help as well. Appreciate the help and...

    8-10 Week Shred

    I can avoid food, salt and lower water. I have done up to 4-day water fasts but never limited water intake during fasting. I think I am going to try to do a test run this weekend. So tomorrow start fast and limit water intake to 32oz, Saturday no food and maybe just one bottle of water if...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Alright, Last picture day is coming up. Any suggestions for peaking on picture day 8/30? I am not supposed to flex in the photos but I usually fast the day before and of and try to get a good pump beforehand then tighten the abs a bit. I read about water loading but not sure I can do it...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Yeah It gets up to 140 max but usually sits just below that until the last little bit of time spent in there. I tried the cold plunge and could not do it. I think the most I got up to was 90 seconds and that was miserable. I gave up on it about a year ago. I could do a cold shower and will...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Ok, So I need to breathe more instead of sweat more. Got it. Lol. I just have made a habit of doing a 20-25 minute sauna sweat each day. I bought one off of amazon a few years ago and it took me a bit to actually start using it. Its an infared sauna, I don't think there are any negative sides to...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Progress update. Down to 198 as of this morning. I have 4 more weeks left in the competition. I may continue cutting for an additional 4 weeks after depending on how I feel. I am aiming to achieve my leanest physique ever and then will switch to maintenance which is the hard part for me. I...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Yeah I have an all or nothing mentality when it comes to dieting that I am really trying to work on. Fixing that will definitely help me in the long run especially when it comes to maintaining. It wasn't just the cruise that caused me to gain the weight back but about a whole month of...

    8-10 Week Shred

    I threw in the towel on the last cut and didn't finish the competition. I had a week cruise planned right at the end and just enjoyed myself on it and pretty much lost most of the noticeable progress. I did just start another cut though on Monday and have my diet and my habit tracker locked...

    Help feel like I’m gonna bust into PROTEIN pieces!

    You look leaner at a heavier weight. It appears the extra protein and cals paid off. Good work, you can tell you have been putting in the work.
