Going down to 180 lbs. so about 10 weeks to go @ 2100 calories per day (net)

1.5 pounds per week

Im going to keep cutting fat. I dont enjoy having muscle if i cant even see it. Thanks for all the support

In the past, though it sounds totally “wrong”, I’ve made good progress, just lifting and eating for maintenance, not even counting calories, but letting my body’s hormonal hunger instincts regulate my caloric intake... slowly adding muscle through resistance training without “bulking and...

I agree with Mick rationally, but emotionally it is so tempting to restore my lean mass back,( from back in the day.) Either way, it is fun to be starting over from scratch with low muscle mass, it is only up from here!

This is where i store the majority of my body fat

The dreaded “skinny fat”. Should I get to 10% before tryingbto add lean mass? Improve partitioning ratio? Should I just stay at 15% and just go for muscle mass gains, and accept the flab? I look leaner than I a really am due to my tall height and slender bone structure... i am built like an...

Ugh. Cutting weight sucks. Im beginning to think that i will never be really lean and ripped. The first bit of weight comes off easy, but ive ever since i hit about 193, ive lacked the discipline to get any lower for weeks! Low energy, hunger... inhibited motivation. I am not at an unhealthy...

I am just getting started and kind of feeling my way through exercise selection and loading parameters. I am currently cutting and when i’m done, I’m going to start a more official HST program

Wow, yet even more reasons to adhere to the HST pronciples of progressive loading cycles of 15s, 10s, 5s. The more I learn, the more I understand the principles and why “typical bodybuilding programs” of always heavy weights, or always training to failure, or always doing high volume are...

The hammer strength iso lateral lat pulldown machine is awesome, but at $4,500, if I didn’t go to Gold’s Gym, i would probably stick with my chinup bar!!! Though i am glad i hit the gym, as the machine is superior for progressively loading the lats.
