Body fat down below 5.7; happy with definition 11-1-2010 pics

My goal isn't to be huge, but to keep great definition... I'm really pleased with my results on being able to see the individual striations in the pecs, and also I'm starting to see clearly delt heads. Honestly, it's all in the low body fat, and not so much in the type of lifting routine, based on all the experimenting I've done with diet & workouts.

(EDIT: Date on camera was wrong... Should be 10-31, and I wasn't thinking when I wrote the thread title, LOL)
 
Thanks again for the compliments! It makes it all worth the work.

As far as diet, I just eat what I plan to burn, and no more. I have a heavy protein breakfast (3-4 egg whites), bowl of plain oat meal, and sugar-free apple sauce. Lunch is some kind of meat (chicken, turkey, or beef) sandwich, or pasta with meat. Not nearly as big a meal as breakfast. On workout days, I add a whey shake twice or 3 times during the day. For dinner, I have very little; just enough to keep me from wanting to eat again before bed time. NO fried foods at all, unless maybe once a month when out with other people, and then only a small portion. No chips, fries, or any of that. It's just not worth it to me. NO salad dressings; just vinegar. When I have pasta, it's either plain or with tomato based sauce; no cream sauce. Oh; and no alcohol except for a beer now & then (I mean a 6-pack a year, maybe).

My gym routine is lifting 4 days/week; 90 minutes or so, with a 2-way split. Sometimes I'll do a 4-way split if I want to isolate one muscle group harder that particular week. Gear is just Dr. - prescribed HRT; no megadosing or "abuse".

Anyway, that's pretty much it. I think it all works together what my habits are, and I have to admit that I'm lucky in that I don't really crave fried foods or generally fattening stuff anyway. There are psychological reasons too. My mother died when I was 21, of obesity, smoking (2 packs a day), drinking, & diet-related causes, and I vowed to learn from that. My father was a fitness freak, and a US Air Force officer. He died in perfect shape at age 90, with no suffering or lying in a hospital bed for months & months. And one more point about my Dad and fitness in middle age: He fathered me at age 67 while on an advanced skiing competition trip in Germany, and they didn't have Viagra back then. So there's more to think about than just looking OK into middle and senior ages.

Squared away bro. Can't get any more cuts than that. Solid.
