I have lost a good amount of weight since i last posted, about 12 lbs. I did that in 2 1/2 months. I really learned a whole lot concerning nutrition and that help me the most. I was even able to lose that weight by only doing 3-4 times of cardio a week during 30 min at med intensity. I am looking forward to a bulk in the next months. Let me know what u guys think....

NICE! You're lookin' tight, man. Great definition. Good work! Good luck with the bulk.

thx scott! I am thinking of staying at that weight for about one more month and try to maintain. Then in august I will start my bulk. Bulking always worries me since I have only done it once, i still don't know my body that well and I wanna make sure to minimize the fat gain as much as possible. I have a couple more pics that i will post later. Busy at work today!! hehe!

wow

great work bud, that is about excatley how i want to get. :tu:


you mind posting your Nutrional Log's, Workout rotuine?

Wow definitely some awesome progress! Got any other poses to see arms/chest/back?

Damn, that's where I want to be....

I have a few more percent to lose I think.

Great job!

:o
Thanks guys! I have put quite a bit of effort in my diet. I allowed myself some cheating, always on week end. I would eat more but still clean food. What i had a hard time, but got better at it, is to not drink too much when i go out. I would usually consume about 6 to 8 beers with a couple of JD every week end. I guess no one can be perfect ;) .

Spuriman: Seeing your avatar, you must be getting pretty damn close to sub 8%?

forgot my link to my fitday log, here it is...

I am sure the posing could be a lot better, but it helps me keep track of my improvement... :nod:

I love the feeling of being around 8% and even a little lower. I look small with clothes on, but i'll spend most of my summer at the lake so it's all good. About 3 weeks ago, it was my first time ever of feeling and seeing veins in my lower ab area, i freaking love it! :tucool:

Great Job, LaTouche! Your abs look perfect. :claplow: I have lost a good amount of weight since i last posted, about 12 lbs. I did that in 2 1/2 months.

Congrats on getting to your goal. You look awesome, and I'm quite envious! Great Abs.. What you have NOW is what my end goal hopefully will be.

Lookin' good man. What happened to your face?

I remember a few years back when my metabolism was still forgiving enough to let me drink like that. Enjoy it while it lasts. Anyway, you're looking good, man.

looks like bees :lol:

Incredible progress, though. Those few pounds really made a difference :tu:

bump to the other posters...someone grab the fire extinguishers, you're SMOKIN'!! Damn man, your pix are inspiring...thats just where I want to be somewhere in the next 6 months!! GOOD WORK!! What is your diet like?? Exersize routine?

Sweet.

I really like the way that you're low in the BF% but still has good muscles showing. Looks good.

Wow dude, killer progress!! :gl: with the bulking!

Good results bro. Keep it up. Let us know how your "bulking" phase goes.

Diet:

When i am cutting i eat more or less 2000 cal/day. I keep my ratios as 50/35/15 most of the time. You can see my detailed food log @:
http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=simontl

Cardio:

During my cutting, i do 4 times a week cardio. I run for about 30 to 35 min @ 6.6-6.7 mph. I try doing them in the mornings but due to bad weather i do them at night or at the gym after my workout.

Workout:

I follow most of the max OT principles but i go with more reps. 6-8 reps, . I do abs twice a week. I do crunches with added weights, but my best ab workout is with the decline bench and 60 lbs added on my chest. I go four 4 sets of 15. Then i do weighted leg raises for a couple of sets. You can see my workout which is attached in doc format.
Monday i do Bis Tris Forearms
Tuesday Shoulders and traps
Thursday legs
Friday Chest and Back

I try to do my cardio on days which i am not working out, but most of the time, i do twice on working out days and two more on non W/O days.

I hope this helps !

I can't help but think you look like a more ripped version of Hansel from Zoolander. "Hansel - he's so hot right now"

What is your height? I'm wondering because I seem to have a similar body-type to you. Just wondering about the height.

I am 5-8 about 142-144 lbs...

i'm always amazed at how well 144 lbs looks on your frame. if you posted over at MH, without pics they'd tell you to eat!

Just a little lat work would do you good, especially from the front. a little forarms before your arm workout. But what do I know, you'd look better than I would ever, haha.

as for having the balls to post leg pics, was pun intended on that one? ;)

Great results!!!

STEELE
Thx for the pointers. I know i don't weigh much, i guess i have small bones, my goal is weigh around 160-165 and lean. I am guessing a good two yrs of hard training and good eating would help me get there.

thx for the nice words Bama!

oh, I was going to say, do you incorporate pull ups into your workout regimen?

and do you have a before pic or have you been in shape pretty much since you started

Lookin' very hot! Great job! :tucool:

thx Diamond, kind of you, sorry for my ignorance but where is NL?

Steele, I am surprise you see my lats as a weekness, maybe the pics came out wrong but i think it is one of my strongest bodypart. I see more my arms and shoulders as my big weakness...

As far as b/4 pic, i don't have one specific, If i go to my parents house in the next weeks, i am sure i will find one or two. About 14 months ago, I was 160 lbs and really out of shape. Before that i always been in good shape since i was playing NCAA Div 1 tennis at the University of Arkansas Fayetteville. But when i graduated, i stopped playing tennis and running so i gained about 20 lbs. Not much lbs but when you consider i am 5-8 and my ideal weight is around 140-145 lbs, the 20 lbs over do show. I am glad i have changed my eating habits in the last year, and i don't see myself not work out ever again. I love this new life, and i feel so much better mentally and physically.

Ditto that. Great job.

I'm the same weight. Didn't know 142 could look that great. Happy to know there's hope.

Again, great job !!

thanks abguy. I have seen your pics on the board, very impressive. I hope to be close to your shape when i hit 43 yrs old. You and steele are right, 142 lbs is very light. I wanna get to 160 eventually at a very low bf. People think i am skinny when i have a shirt on. We'll see how i look when i eventually reach my goal.

Ciao!

Unless you're 4'8", you'll still look simply "skinny" with a shirt on. Just don't wear clothes, then people will see that you've got some muscles :lol:

Man oh man, i have not been able to work out or do cardio for a week now and i am going crazy! I busted myself real solid in wakeboard last week end. I got a concussion (Sp?) and a tore up eardrum. The doc said i should take a break for a good 2 weeks... I hate it. It's been over a yr that i am always real active. Every two months i would take a week off, but never from cardio. the worse thing is that when i have to rest i don't know what to do so i am always hungry, its carzy, it's killing me. It s carzy how much i don't think of eating when i work out, run and have a busy schedule...

Anyway, sorry for the rambling, i had to share my negative thoughts.... Have a nice week end!
