Well, I bit the bullet and spent eight weeks dieting just to tighten up the ship a bit. I just finished last week and went from 261 to 244. I don't normally even weigh myself unless the alignmet of the starts is proper let alone do body fat testing, but I did it this time and went from 260 10% to 244 7.5%. I feel like shit though so I'm back on my never ending quest for largeness. I ate 4500 calories a day the first six weeks and 4300 the final two and didn't do any cardio so I lost only a bit of muscle during my eight weeks in restriction. I did loose a good bit of strength as I always do when I diet. I'm not the kind just to diet for the hell of it because it's summer or because I have avacation coming up so I'm not going to beat myself up anymore than eight weeks. 7.5% is fine with me. I did have a show planned for November which is what initiated the diet, but later found out that my fall schedual is going to be FAR too hectic to allow a proper contest diet. So I'm back in the gym with a purpose...GROWTH. This would be my diet....
