    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...

    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.

    8-10 Week Shred

    Tried it today and it wasn't pleasant. It did slide right in and felt good or not painful about halfway in and then I think I pushed it in too far. Hurt a bit but got a full dose. I did my left thigh as it seemed easiest location from what I found online. I am going to buy some of those smaller...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Yup experienced that this weekend. I did sub q twice and both times were painful, especially in the stomach. I also only did 50iu so half dose. I am going to have to watch some videos on IM, the needles they sent are intimidating. Where do you usually inject IM for carnitine? I did feel a boost...

    8-10 Week Shred

    Yeah I am definitely going to work on better planning from here on out. Goal will be to figure out meals on Thursday so I don't go crazy on the weekends with steak, potatoes, hamburgers, etc.

    8-10 Week Shred

    Cut is going well guys. The competition started on April 12th and I was 207. Now down to 198 but a few of those pounds I contribute to extra water weight. The lowest I have been in over 20 years is 194 so hoping to overcome that plateau and get down to 185 or less and low body fat like 14% or...

    I usually meal prep chicken or lean ground beef for taco bowls but I am with you on will power. I can skip the pizza but usually have to sneak a few bites of ice cream in. I have been choosing healthier options when going out to eat. Grilled chicken club wrapped in lettuce with a fruit bowl...
