Probably 220 sans carbs and 228 carbed out. Been having a lot of cheat days lately. I know I've lost a lot of muscle. But people are noticing I've lost a tremendous amount of weight.

Starting LP...

If I can have your inconspicuous lifts, I'll be damn happy to be as skinny as you.

Thanks for the words, guys.

Jam, it's called the too busy to fucking eat anything and when you do eat absolutely no fucking carbs allowed diet. Seriously, I haven't had a vegetable, starch, sugar...

228 in the AM for the past couple of days. 13 pounds from goal weight. Have lost a lot of muscle but nearly all of my gut as well. I'll start back with a stint of LP once I reach goal weight.

Started new job 10/13. Love it but have been busy like never before. Using this as opportunity to shed fat.

Latest stats: bw 236 this AM. Down from 264 on October 1.

I haven't eaten a carb in 2.5 weeks and am down nearly 20 pounds. No journaling, no planning, no tracking. Just no carbs. Simple, but not necessarily easy.

Nice work so far! Keep it up!

Carlos, you are not playing devil's advocate. You are being dense.

This FTW. All of it.

How much and what kind of carbs are you eating?

Keep in mind you've added a lot to your lifts so you've put on muscle. Certainly more than 4#'s worth so I expect you've recomped your body some...

My ape index is +6.5". My powercleans are atrocious and I have to take almost a snatch grip to rack it. Interestingly, my bench is one of my stronger lifts. Perhaps the extra length is in my forearms...

why don't you just cook with real fire. like real men do.

This. If you are interested in getting a good grade, that is.

Awesome work John. You'll be at 3 wheels + in no time.

lol. Can't tell you how many times I've done this. Combination of belt and belly for big guys is rarely flattering.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Mom and baby doing well?

I know this part sucks but it gets better quick. I've been through it three times now.

Yup it's tough all over. While I am gainfully employed, I had to take a 40% pay cut for the position I have now. I know A LOT of other people in the same boat--employed but for a lot less money than...

Lookin' good. I'd say your goals are very achievable and then some.

What part of the southeast are you in?

I used to run 400m in high school track. Brutal. I admire your dedication to running them now.

Sweet baby jeebus with a baby-boner!

17 reps?

You've piqued my curiosity with this program. Might have to drop some coin to get a consult myself.

I assume the goal is mostly hypertrophy...
