Mr I's Road to ripped 2013

[BEAST]

Well Mr I while I see the improvement looks like life gets in the way of your diet bit to much. It's going to two months since you started this thread and you are not where you should be.

Since you always talk about your bodybuilding days, here is a reminder...diet duration for a show is 12 weeks, max 14 weeks. You are almost 8 weeks in to your diet and you do not look like where you should be eight weeks in.

So stop with the friends, parties, anniversary excuses and get with the program. :D

what do you think of this shirt by the way, ignore the scuzzy jeans

What kind of collar is on that shirt?

[Mr I]

props for the clearer shot.

i really think you should keep a log of what you are eating daily because I cant help but feel that progress could be a bit faster if your diet was more in check. sometimes writing out your diet and being able to see exactly what you are eating makes you realize that it could probably be better.

how many calories are you eating daily? how many meals? how consistent are you? how consistent are you with the cardio?

The best way i can answer this is to say that I'm generally more consistent with all those factors than I have been previously. My situation is that I work full time with varying hours and, well, sometimes life gets in the way, sometimes we go out and eat and drink with other couples, or its anniversary like today and I don't hold back those days. The picture doesn't show its greatly and in fact, I have been unable to train chest properly (only flyes etc) because I have really bad tendonitis in both elbows for the first time eva so I'm not benching until its gone, can't train tri's either.

But I am getting both more shape and leaner as time passes, I feel it in the clothes i wear round the waist and ass etc and looking at myself in the mirror

[Mr I]

went shopping today so took a shot while trying on shirt, this is early afternoon so not in the morning dry like before but clearer shot, difficult to compare but I'm taking better shape and just need to keep on going and harden the midsection so abs are always visible, haven't had BF checked yet

[Mr I]

One thing I'm noticing now, ontop of some fat loss round the stomach, the fat that remains on the lower abs has apparently softened and become more wartery.

[Mr I]

Arms and 30 mins cardio, also picked up rips tonight, GTG

[Bouncer]

skipped least night because I felt so tired and drained

putting to much emphasis on what you have always done.. training. size is not your problem. cardio and diet MUST be as important in your mind as the training is.

[Mr I]

Arms tonight, weigh 248lb, diet on point, getting harder, will do cardio tonight after, skipped least night because I felt so tired and drained

[Bouncer]

bump, answer the question. why are you skipping cardio? glad that you are honest about skipping it but lets be real here.

[Bouncer]

Trained shoulders tonight hard and thorough, no less than 8 reps per set, good session, skipped cardio after though but I'll pick up again when I train arms tommorrow.

i don't understand why you would skip cardio? cardio and diet are more important for your goals right now then training is. you need to pull the bodyfat off bro. i dont understand what you are doing here. Any particular reason why you skipped it? Just didnt feel like doing it?

[Mr I]

Trained shoulders tonight hard and thorough, no less than 8 reps per set, good session, skipped cardio after though but I'll pick up again when I train arms tommorrow.

Also picking up a little treat tommorrow too, 200iu of that riptropin you guys been raving about

[Mr I]

OK, back in the gym tonight did back and 20 mins treadmill after HR 120-135

[Mr I]

hold on here for a sec. are you honestly trying to sit here and say that you need to continue taking the same blurry flashlight in the mirror pictures because location consistency is important?

bwahahahahah
