Picture from tonight.... (5/7/2013) - and added a back shot on 5/8/2013 :-D

Ach:

You have the size and musculature I had about 6 months ago.  I was strong as hell and built.  About your size and conditioning.  Then my wife hit me with wanting a divorce.

Since then, the divorce diet stripped off about 35 pounds from my build.  It was due to lack of having an appetite, etc. 

Best thing that's happened to my physique.  So many people comment on my build and wondering what i've been doing training and nutrition wise.  It all was a lack of calories and the cardio i've been doing for the mental part of going thru a divorce.

I"ll never put back on that weight.

Point i'm making is that I didn't lose a lot of muscle but a ton of bf.  And I look my best in 20+ years of lifting.  The women notice a ton, especially the 24 year old knockout i'm now banging.  I'm 35 and exwife is 30 btw.  So that's a bonus.

Seriously consider dropping the bf down immensely.  The size game is good for the other dudes in the gym, but in the whole scheme of things, you'll be way better off lighter.

You look fat as hell sorry Big Ach.

height/weight?   You get demolished on getbig for a build like that... but in real life, dudes get uncomfortable and chicks perk up when a man walks in looking like that in a t-shirt.

You do look great Ach but I still think you would look even better with a Tbombz tattoo on your abs.

Last few days I've actually upped the calories to 2900 (By way of rice cakes), not having any cravings at all....  Still not gaining weight, but not losing either, feeling really fucking strong in the gym though.... its obvious I'm right around my maintenance. 

Just wonder how much I'd have to actually drop to realistically lose 2 lbs a week.

Keep your calories consistent at whatever level makes you happy, so in this case 2900.  If you are maintaining your current weight then you are at an equilibrium.  You can add in one cardio session a day to go into a deficit and still be happy with your diet.

Dude, 2,000cals should be your starting point. Stick with it. You seem to have a lack of self-control when it comes to food.

...and don't be surprised if you have to drop calls further down the line. Anywhere from 1500-1800cals is still realistic and common among many competitors.

See thats what surprises me!!!  Obviously it makes sense because I'm really not losing weight....

But I'm 235 lbs at 19-20% BF.....  I should be losing weight theoretically at much higher caloric intake?  I'm just confused.... am I just a physical anomality? lol

[BIG ACH]

What type?

Ellipitical.... moderate to high intensity... for 2 miles (takes me about 20 minutes), I'm usually drenched in sweat after!

No man, your Bmr is probably around 1900cals, and TDEE is 2600cals at most.

So eating 2900cals, or the amount before that, is clearly covering your daily caloric needs.

You underestimate the efficiency of the human body.


As i said, 2000 cal's should be your starting point.
