Almost there...

[BiggerGuns=LongerDrives]

Nice!

How much weight have you lost since you started on this journey?

[mitchcumstein]

Surprisingly only 18lbs. thats why i said it was slow going, only 3lbs a month but it was almost 100% fat.

[mitchcumstein]

One more shot from a couple days ago. Now i just need to work on my tan and shave all that damn hair off. lol

Spend a weekend down here on Mercury. That tan thing won't be an issue in a day or so.

Look good J'Leron.

[jennyd]

[HammerTech]

[mitchcumstein]

[vassille]

Good job Mitch!
THe crazy thing is that as you gain more muscle and lose fat you want to gain even more muscle and try to get even bigger...it's a sickness I know..lol

I actually dont think i want to get any bigger, im pretty happy where im at. Id just like to lean up a little more and get stronger. Good news is i dont have muscle dysmorphia, thats good to know. lol

I think you're good where you're at too...
I think it looks much nicer when someone isn't super-crazy huge.

And, I'm not sure how much more leaning up you need either though.

At this point its just vanity pounds, maybe 5lbs tops. Ive made it this far, i want a decent set of abs. But im not gonna obsess, ill just take my time and make sure i dont get lazy and go in the other direction. That means no more bulkers. lol

[joemomma]

Nicely done mitch...props to you for sticking with it.

[Shooders]

You look fvckin solid!

Everythings in proportion .. hope i can work towards something similar!

Dont wanna be a pain in the ass but could you give me a brief insight to your diet?

Thanks man.

Sure, it looks sort of like this:


8am- half cup oats, 2 scoops whey
11am- chicken breast, 2 tbsp natty peanut butter
2am-Tuna sandwich, scoop whey
430-chicken breast, baked beans
6pm-workout
730-2 scoops whey, 4-6 large strawberries
830- 6" Subway chicken breast, double meat on whole wheat

Thats about it. Its about 2100 cals and 300g protein. I eat like that monday thru friday and then i eat what i want on the weekends. When i say i eat what i want i mean within reason....i keep it under 3500 cals and keep the protein high, but no food item is off limits. Its a form of zig zag dieting and it works well for me but it may or may not work for you. But i still think everyone should have at least one cheat meal a week at the minimum unless youre trying to get sub 10% bf then youll have to tighten it up a bit more.

[Shooders]

Oh i see, calories are real low.

I thought you would have been on a bulking diet considering the size of you!

I take it youve always had mass?

Ive got the opposite problem im trying big time to gain a good 10lbs.

Thanks for the info anyway!

I started around 230 and dropped down to 210. But that diet still works for bulking, just eat more portions.

No i just eat the bushs traditional baked beans but i drain all the juice out so it eliminates alot of the sugar.
