Yep - done everything under the sun, including training and not training legs, higher reps but still as heavy as I can go so the intensity is still there, shorter and longer recovery periods, different set types, adding in boxing, etc. No matter the weight or rep range, if I train legs at all, they GROW - I'm not sh*tting you. Like I said, more mass would be nice in my arms, but if it doesn't happen, then I'm not going to be too concerned.
Oh I believe you, I don't train traps at all and they are one of my best features, if I train them they get huge over night. They get so big it makes my shoulders look narrower.

I wish I could, money isn't in the cards for a show any time soon. I could definitely cut up in time for a show in November though. I am relatively lean but the money isn't there especially to travel for it.

I know he really enjoys the low fat higher carb intake. It really is interesting how so many diets work so differently for different people. I just don't do well on many carbs at all and he is flourishing.

Since I started with video progress I'm going to continue it best I can. I am going to get closer next video because your not the first one who pointed out that the video is too far away.I may have to switch video taping locations. Further, I do not have a clear camera.

everything looking great John!

question though, your fat intake looks consistancy low. what macro are you trying to hit?
Low as possible. Certain days in the future when fat loss stalls I'll start adding in fish as my protein sources to bring fat even lower when body fat stalls most likely. I do not need it now though, and as long as I am making progress I don't change a thing.

I know he really enjoys the low fat higher carb intake. It really is interesting how so many diets work so differently for different people. I just don't do well on many carbs at all and he is flourishing.
I did the zero carb, low carb in the past and I just did not function on it mentally. Some people can do it,I can not and I can do well with carbohydrates, with that said, I still watch my carbs as you see they are usually 150-225 grams. I may have to bring them down even farther if fat loss stalls, time will tell. As of now things are looking good.

its been three weeks since my last video I know I need to get one up soon. Bear with me please

It is just a matter of doing it. At first on a restricted diet, it takes more work and mental control, restricting certain calories and food the body goes though chemical changes it is similar to coming off any kind of drug because the body is used to that chemical dependence,due to the changes in the brain,really does effect mood, the restriction feels different after a while , it becomes easier to cope with physically and mentally and it becomes a habit.

Resveratrol Prevents Brain and Heart Damage While Assisting Weight Loss
by John Phillip, citizen journalist

Source:NaturalNews

(NaturalNews) Resveratrol is the protective bioactive nutrient most commonly found in the skin of red grapes, peanuts and cacao. Resveratrol provides a protective barrier against disease and fungus in plants which is also beneficial to human health. A wealth of information exists to support the function of resveratrol for brain rejuvenation and cardiovascular repair as well as influencing the metabolism of fat leading to natural weight loss.

Resveratrol Improves Endothelial Function Leading to Heart Health

Proanthocyanidins from the grape family have long been associated with heart health, and resveratrol now takes its deserved place at the top of the cardiovascular friendly nutrients list. The lining of the cells within the artery are known as the endothelium, and are very sensitive to dietary abuse caused by hydrogenated fats, excess sugar, cortisol and insulin. Damage to the endothelium leads to high blood pressure as well as micro cracks which are filled with foamy plaque, increasing the risk of a heart attack.

Resveratrol has been shown to increase endothelial progenitor cells in the bone marrow which then migrate to areas of damage along the arterial wall, effectively repairing any damage. Higher levels of progenitor cells in blood circulation are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack, as well as improved blood pressure.

Resveratrol Activates New Brain Synapses

One of the most important functions attributed to resveratrol is the activation of the anti-aging gene known as SIRT1. Previously, calorie restriction was the only known mechanism thought to positively influence this critical gene, but recent research demonstrates that resveratrol is also able to accomplish this longevity function. Since resveratrol is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, it is able to improve brain plasticity by generating new neural networks.

Resveratrol has been shown to reduce the normal rate of neurodegeneration and prevent learning impairment. Further, resveratrol has been shown to increase brain oxygenation which relates to increased memory capacity and improved cognition. Researchers are exploring the possibility that this amazing nutrient may play a role in the prevention of certain dementias, including Alzheimer's disease.

Resveratrol Inhibits the Formation of Fat Cells, Assists Weight Loss

Resveratrol has been shown to halt the formation of baby fat cells, thus providing an effective tool for the millions of people looking for a natural weight loss aide. Researchers demonstrated that fat cells make SIRT1 in direct proportion to the amount of resveratrol they are exposed to. SIRT1 halts the formation of immature fat cells which as they grow, contribute to the accumulation of dangerous abdominal fat.

Resveratrol also lowers levels of systemic inflammation, which is implicated in many afflictions including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease, and inhibits the release of body fat from storage. Studies underscore the importance of resveratrol as an important tool in the fight against obesity and show that it can provide favorable metabolic stability to assist weight loss.

It's rare when one specific nutritional compound is attributed with the potential to lower the risk of multiple disease processes and assist weight loss. Resveratrol continues to fill the promise of cardiovascular and neurologic health, as it directly influences the anti-aging SIRT1 gene, and provides support in the battle against obesity. Health conscious individuals will use this critical nutrient in a never ending battle to provide an edge against time, ageing and cellular deterioration.

Yeah John you are so very right on that some of us are wired better for one or the other type of diet. Either we do well with more carbs are well with extra fats. Out basic diets are similar but you make up what you don't get in fats with your protein and I make up what i don't get in carbs with fat. I don't go keto though. 100-150 grams carbs sometimes up to 200 then a carb load on the weekend.
I think it's harder to DIET than to train, LOL :D
AMEN, and after a lay off I have to get my training going again then baby step into my nutrition. When I am injured and training around things my diet can slip a little easier too. However if the gym is intense normally the diet is pretty on point too. This is the year I decided to start keeping my abs at least somewhat visible year round and diet has been interesting for sure.
It is just a matter of doing it. At first on a restricted diet, it takes more work and mental control, restricting certain calories and food the body goes though chemical changes it is similar to coming off any kind of drug because the body is used to that chemical dependence,due to the changes in the brain,really does effect mood, the restriction feels different after a while , it becomes easier to cope with physically and mentally and it becomes a habit.
Yeah and the slip ups are like falling of the wagon too. I can recall many a time after dieting for a while someone might find me with a plate full of bones and barbecue sauce dripping from my chin mumbling something about I ate too many dinner roles and needing to vomit. LOL
You'll love it that's exactly what I have done!!! Except I've gone for the whole SWOLE stack + HGHPro

Feel free to check out my log mate...
I second this... Def check out his log GWLS has made some impressive strides in his physique and is the real deal.

side notes

I still see fat around the sides, which I am sure will go down. I have been researching posing trunks and I have more of a longer torso/waist than a short one so fuller cut trunks make this physique look better.

my fat has been coming off, and has been stuck at this for a couple days 222.5 so I am trying a refeed , then back to my lower carb days like maybe lower carb for 3-5 days , a higher carb(not a refeed, then a lower carb for 3-5 days then access

Kleen/Dream/any one who does bodybuilding competitions

what kind of posing trunks do you wear and what kind of body do you have, more of a short torso or long torso?

I go for the fuller classic cut as age plays a factor.
