Bump

Awesome work! I can't quite get to my abs, but I'll just keep chipping away at it. Good to see you carved yours out!

Great work everyone! OP you did amazing! I cut from 212 to 167 without much exercise, just calorie restrictions. I have no pics of skinny fat me, it wasn't pretty. In this pic I'm back up to 178 on Body Beast, but kept my waist size at 32". I'm not done, just closer.....

Bulk Arms it went well, weights jumped from Beast Phase. I'm guessing because I'm eating like a beast. I swapped out my rest days and cardio for Tempo back and Bis and Bulk Arms. This round is all about the arms. Nutrition good, but I'm not done. Water is very good, I'm at 16 cups. Getting kind of lonely in here...LOL

Yesterday was Tempo Back an Bis, I hadn't done this one since the beginning of the last round and I did a lot more weight. The pull-ups still kicked my butt. Who does 6 sec up / 6 second down pull-ups? Not this guy, LOL. Nutrition wasn't off but the calories were a little high. Water was bad, I was in a conference all day…

Build Legs, very good Nutrition, good but it feels like I've over ate. :) Water, a little behind.

Day 1 Round 2 Build Chest and Tris Workout was great I was up on all my weights, however the close grip push-ups after the partial flys were done from my knees and barely even then. I also failed on on the 8th rep of the 3rd set of the declined push-ups. I pretty well destroyed myself, my biggest mistake is trying to…

Sorry I can't edit in Photobucket without some software updates. I refused to take before pictures, I guess maybe I never thought I'd finish. Maybe I just wanted to forget what I had become. This is around 210lbs, I peaked at 215 with bigger moobs. I like about everything about both pics, I'm flexing myself to light…

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_YoO-n8Lh5pR240VVI4Zy03Mmc/edit?usp=sharing I've been struggling to figure out how to share my results, so I just dropped it in a PDF in my Google Drive.

I'm not the guy for HRM advice, but welcome to the group. I've never owned one, but I always wanted better estimates on calories burned. It would have helped dial in my calorie needs better I'm sure.

Missed yesterday's workout for a bit of an injury, nothig serious just tweaked my left arm as it was sore from working out anyhow. It was also my oldest's 17 BD, dinner out trumped my workout. Olive Garden, dinner for 520 calories? Amazing! My 17 yo had 1900 calories in one sitting, WOW! I got my last measurements and…

Legs will always be my most dreaded workout. My gluts hurt from one week to the next. Bulk arms and abs for me. Water and nutrition are both very good today.

Rich...I couldn't have stated my predicament any better than you have. Although I've got my fatloss on a spreadsheet to a power curve, showing just how slow it has become. I'm at 11% (using the Navy estimating method) and hope to get to 9.5% some day. I cut from 215 to 167 and achieved "skinny-fat" results. I'm just…

Jeff: 7 pounds is a good gain for being as toned as you were. Bulk Back, I had a good intense workout. Water is 14 cups and counting. Nutrition is spot on, but I'm not done. I think my problem is pushing the cardio too hard, I'm a little frustrated with the stomach and love handles. I spent 20 years putting it on, I…

Bulk Shoulders and 25 minutes of treadmill for me. I'm a little run down today. Water was good. Nutrition was off, I was 400 calories over due to a rushed lunch.

Build Legs, Beast abs and some treadmill for me today. All were very good workouts Water, 16 cups Nutrition, was very good.

Congratulations on finishing it! There really wasn't much doubt that you would own it though. I'm looking forward to seeing your results. Bulk Chest and abs for me. I pushed some heavy weights early and was hurting at the end. Water was good, nutrition was poor.

Bulk Shoulders followed with Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance. Great workout both ways, I'm either adjusting to my calories or getting the crud out of my system. Nutrition was over 20 calories over but macros were 4% off. Water was low at 10 cups.

Cardio and Abs, both went well. Heading to the treadmill soon. I'm 82 calories under and just a tad behind on protein, not too bad for eating out. Water, I'm catching up. Glad to hear other Dads have to rumble, mine won't stop until he is done and it usually starts with a rear naked choke ambush.

Build Back and Bis as well as 30 minutes of treadmill. It was a good workout, probably the best I've done on pullups anyhow. Nutrition was a bomb, I had a good start, then a long conference dumped me out at 1:30 to a Pizza buffet. Without snacking on something healthy I'm pretty weak to pizza. Water was good. My soon to be…

Bulk Legs, it was brutal after 3 days off with the stomach thing. It was brutal and i really didn't want to finish but i did. Still must be a little ill or dehydrated. Nutrition was poor today, water good. Nutrition was good the other days i was away. I'll be back on track tomorrow!

I'm not going to do Lucky 7 again unless I'm in some sort of maintenance routine or really crunched for time. It wasn't a bad workout, just too quick to be satisfying. I could see myself doing it in the morning before work if I was back on Insanity in the evenings. Thanks Jeff for pointing out it is 84 days instead of 90,…

Beast Abs is a tough routine after doing Total Body. Chest and Tris for me. I forgot I liked that one so much. It was a bear to get through those narrow grip pushups. Not feeling well after dinner and skipped my extra round of cardio. Water is good, I'm on 12 cups and wanting 3 more. Nutrition, I'm under calories but off…

Nice work guys! Rest day for me...but I elected to do the Beast Lucky 7 workout for something new. It was only 22 minutes long but a nice change. I also did Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance; my favorite Insanity workout. Water is going well, 16 cups. Nutrition is going well, my calories are on but I've been low on the…

Well done Jeff, your bad days are still good days to me. Beast cardio and abs for me. It felt good. Water was behind. Nutrition was good by all accounts.

Bulk Arms, okay still a little week from the calorie change. If I have to choose between strenght and shedding the fat; I got to shed the fat. 60 mins of treadmill also Water, okay 12 cups. Nutrition was a little over on calories and the macros have been blown by the Super Bowl. Edit: Two week measurements were due today.…

Check out the Body Beast DVDs, I've done well on them. In 90 days I gained 11 pounds lean mass and 3 pounds of fat, I'm in the last 3 weeks trying to cut the fat off.

Bulk Shoulders, 60 mins treadmill. I'm happy with my workout today. Water, 12 cups and counting Nutrition, I'm on and saving 900 calories to go out to dinner tonight. I'll probably miss my macros, but keep under my calories. Oh well, when mama isn't happy.....nobody is happy.

You can take measurements and use online calculators to estimate your body fat and lean mass. Somebody on here recommended fat2fitradio.com and it is a good site for this and estimating your calorie needs. Granted calculators aren't the most accurate, but you should still see a trend. I'm pretty focused on adding lean…

You got me wondering about my carbs Jeff, I've been thinking I've just been sick or overdoing my cardio. But I've got some stamina missing also. Build Legs for me, my weights went up on the first half of the workout. They didn't change much for the acrobatic parts. Followed up with 60 minutes on the treadmill. Water was…
