I have a question for you guys, can you do HIIT while fasting?, doesn't eat into your muscles for fuel?, thanks in advance!

Holy fuck man. Amazing work.
Damn. I'm gonna look for your picture in the grocery checkout line.

Yes it's fine.
But everyone is different. Listen to your body.
Muscle catabolism is actually really hard to do. It's one of these broscience myths.
HIIT is actually anabolic since it's highly anaerobic.
Look at sprinters. Jacked as fuck.

Holy shit Cooter, I hate you! lol
Unrelated, someone replaced my legs with painful things.

Mine too after my leg session.
that's as good as it gets regarding Before/after shots in this thread Cooter.
you are Beach-Body ready.
I am on my way too and you are an inspiration.
yeah in my case abs are starting to appear at night and I am not really trying with the core work at the gym.
let's see what I achieve in August.
will probably post a B/A if I have a very visible six (4?) pack or definition or something worth showing.

I might as well join in... I'm down 0.1kg from yesterday. That's an entire three ounces.

Feck... What the hell am I doing. Taking on off day somewhat to let the legs recover so I started doing isolated shoulders, biceps, abs, and anything I thought was lacking just for kicks.
Problem is I got here early and I've already done 45 sets. Sweating like a pig and shoulders are on fire! 15 more sets to go I guess? Lol

congrats on your PR's Szu
(those you mentioned in the last page and those you'll achieve tonight! you've got this!)cutting is proving to be a real challenge regarding discipline and focus but will keep it up. I can stop at any point, plus nothing happens overnight. I'll enjoy the ride.
I love when the thread moves towards a philosophy, it seems to be in beachbody/Cut mode at the moment. Cooter and Ilovebish giving damn fine examples of progress.
can't wait to post my bulking meals in November, they'll probably give MTP's a run for their money lol

Hmm. Was just looking at the last couple of weeks of calorie data and I've screwed up my intake because of all the travelling and events. Is back on track, but I don't think I did myself any favours.
Jumped by somewhere around 250kcal a day. Which, although not a massive amount, certainly stalled my weight loss.

Heh, you referred to MTP in the plural. Makes sense. He eats enough for several people.

Looking back even further, I REALLY screwed up my bulk. First time I've ever done one and I just couldn't dial in my calories.
60 sets? Why? lol you're nuts sometimes. 60 sets of anything would take me 2+ hours, minimum.
Well, let's do the math.
He's working on shoulders, biceps, abs, and misc.
Let's assume that he's doing 3 exercises per region. And let's assume that he's doing 4 sets of everything.
That's going to look something like this:
4 regions x 3 exercises x 4 sets + whatever else is missing just for kicks = What is this insanity!!!????

Bc I'm an idiot. It might even be counter productive, but it was a fun challenge to do in 60 minutes. I was super setting shoulders, biceps, and abs. Kind of random I guess, but they were areas I thought are lacking. More of a cardio workout though (at least that's what it felt like).
Ohhhhh, like a circuit. Not as crazy as I thought. Still crazy for the average human, but you're in way better shape than the average human.
Check out the calorie website in the OP, it'll do the math for you real nice.
OMG, you were!!!

Yeah this was not heavy weight due to the lack of breaks to recover. Well, I started at normal 5-8 rep weight, but that didn't last long lol
Don't do any cardio...only lift heavy.
4k a day can be a struggle if you go semi-clean. Treat it like a cut and count calories. That helped me.

Alright, I bumped my calories up to 2500 yesterday. Let's see where I go from the 179.4 I weighed yesterday. Will report back when I weigh myself under the same conditions after work. I'm curious.

2500 clean? That's a decent amount of food in a short window!
Not when you adore peanut butter like I do!

Oh man, my wife made some simple, no-bake, peanut butter oatmeal bars with a little agave nectar this week. So hard to keep away from them. I love peanut butter!
64gs of PB and 40gs of strawberry preserves in a bowl. 500 calories. Done!

Not entirely convinced I'd describe that as clean. Tasty, probably. Clean? No.
Better then pancakes covered in syrup. Although it is border line, i do agree.
Sure it is. The preserves are straight sugar but we're only talking like 25gs. The PB is clean in my book.
EDIT: It's semi-clean. I'll give you that.
Sugar in small amounts won't set you back.Psychotext

Yeah, the preserves were sort of the point... but hell, can't argue with results.
(Some peanut butter is shit too, and sadly it's the only sort I enjoy.)

Holy fucking shit @ that progress in just 4 months. Putting me to shame bro haha.
GREAT JOB!

Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's some dedication right there.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Man, reading more and more about Keto makes me really want to try it out. Bread, rice, pasta have always been such staples of my diet it's gonna be interesting to see how cutting them out will affect me.

I don't hate it, but I don't enjoy it.
I said god damn. That is some work and dedication right there. Be proud.
Ah, yes, Peanut Butter...God's gift to man.
I wrote about it a few months back (maybe a year), but for a while, I was eating a jar every two days. It's crack.
Still just eating whatever, rough guess is around 3k a day, just giving my body a diet break. I am really tired of not fasting. I miss it. But my body really needs some time off. I was going to be back to cutting Monday but I may extend it till the week after. I'll have to see how things go.
