    Glad to find you again. I rarely compete so I don't often look here. I'll try to keep track. A question: I note on another thread that you are trying to lose weight. I don't understand why. Maybe it's to keep in this lower weight category but muscles weigh more than fat. Perhaps there are other competitive reasons why you wish to lose more weight that I don't quite understand.

    glad you found me carson.....I will try to explain in short order.....and thanks for checking in....

    when I competed last December, 3 months prior to the comp I added calories to a total of 2200 per day....I started out @ 153 @ 15%BF and by comp day I was 164 with added fat around my waist...I want to get back to 15% BF no other goal other than I liked they way I felt and looked.

    Powerlifting doesn't lend itself to enough cardio for me to lose fat @ 2200 per day....so I tested my maintenance calories for 3 weeks to get an accurate number..its about 1850 + or -. If I use the 11.43 (cut) x my BW = 1850....now I spent 3 weeks @ 1850 and didn't lose a lb.

    Before you ask how hard do I train....I am told I'm an animal...I train very hard.

    I am also a cardiac patient that takes cholesterol meds. which can have a negative effect on T.

    So I kept dropping 50 cal per day (weekly) to arrive about 1650 - 1700.

    Since then I've lost 6 lbs (in 7 weeks) and one notch on my belt.

    Once I get to 15% BF...I will slowly increase my calories back up to 2000 - 2200 checking weekly to see how the scale moves....

    I think the reason I gain fat during that period prior to the Dec. comp is because I added too many cal. too soon and wasn't doing enough cardio.

    I weight train 4 days a week..I finish each session with 10 minutes of tabata on bike. I do (1) 30 minute cardio per week.

    My strength gain have been very good if you like to gander at my log....

    thanks Carson for your interest..
