IIFYM = if it fits your macros (eat it)0 -
UNLEASH THE BEAST.
Seriously though, awesome work. Keep it up brotha.0 -
Wow. Killed it. That's a hell of a change in that timespan. Hit your calorie goals, work out intelligently and intensely,...that's all it takes.0

Did you use the TDEE method for calculating your daily calorie intake, and if so, what did you set your activity level to, assuming you did no cardio, and just the weights routine ? I currently do something very similar to yourself for my weights routine, only I do both upper and lower together and do a fair amount of cardio.
Great question!
Using the IIFYM calculator I set the exercise level to 3 days even though I workout 6.
My routine is only weights but I don't rest and I tried to add exercises like burpees in there to get my HR up.
TDEE seems more art than science and this 3 day setting seems to work for me.0 -
Thank you all again for the positive replies! Each one of them is truly appreciated!
I hope my little journey shows that you can make big shifts in the long run with small focused effort once a day.
It adds up. Get yours!0 -

Wow, well done - those photos speak for themselves! My husband is a cyclist and has amazing muscles in lower body but looks just like your 'before' photo in upper body! Do you think he could just adopt your upper body routine and IIFYM? (understand you aren't offering professional advice here, just wondering what you think though?0

If I was cycling I'd probably take my upper body routine and do it 2 to 3 days a week depending on how determined I was to improve my upper body.
I'd also take the above ab exercises from my lower body day and work those into the upper body routine spacing them out.
If that made upper body day too long I'd cut out one or two exercises.
What I did with abs on lower body day was to put them every other exercise in order to get rest to do my next weighted leg exercise.
That was an overall philosophy. Make it so I didn't have rest but that each exercise was different enough that I could get all my reps.
This allows me to not take a break which keeps my heart rate up and reduces total time of the workout.0 -
Thanks! Now just have to see if I can persuade the OH to adopt similar :00
