agreed with 10, and if his hair didnt look like Einsteins, he'd look exactly like Paul Walker
Lol, yea I've needed a haircut for a few weeks now. Looks like I'm going to have to start doing cardio... FML
whats your diet and cardio like now?
id wait a few weeks after PCT is over to make any "drastic" changes to your regiment, unless your ADDING some cals. im also paranoid and have OCD though
Diet is super clean trying for around 150g carbs and ~250g protein. I eat every few hours, only complex carbs minus my one simple carb pwo. Only eating carbs right when I wake up, pre workout and post. I've never counted my calories but if I had to guess would say around 3000. I take a multi TID, along with fish and flax oil, baby aspirin, vit. C, creatine, glutamine and casien protein with HMB before bed. I'm drinking at the very least a gallon of water a day. When I say my diet is clean I mean shit is squeaky clean, no sugar, no preservatives, low sodium, organic, only fat is from supps. I haven't had a pop or any fast food for at least 5yrs now. If I ate any garbage at all right now I would be piling and shitting my brains out.
I don't do any cardio other then walking my dog about 6 days a week, lol. I will do more during the summer. I fucking go nuts doing cardio in a gym... ADD or something. My heart rate stays around 130 while lifting though, I hit it hard and rest very little in between sets.
I wouldnt worry as much about cardio, there is too much research backing that lifting and intervals will do what you need....hard to believe people still on the cardio bandwagon so much, old habits die hard....lifting is more important...
you look single digits, but dunk tank is best way to be sure...because everyone is different how they carry weight and look....Ive been dunk tanked at 7.9% I think it was a few months ago, and dont have abs ripping out of me, so the lady did it four more times to confirm....she said I didnt carry anything anywhere except the midsection, and it wasnt "fatty" but my abs were or are not ripped....so I was shocked as I always heard the below 10% your abs will be ripped stuff...she said its all genetics and individual variances in how we carry weight....
if you live near a major city, or a major university with an exercise science program, you can get dunk tanked for $40-80.....but dude to me you look single digits...I wouldnt be fretty anything, not that it seems you are!
There is also plenty of research on diets that are mainly protein and fats, and if you do mostly meat, fish, fowl, and veggies you do not need to count calories....read Why We Get Fat and What to Do ABout it....amazing book dispels all the "calories in calories out" stuff....and documents tons of research done on folks doing primarily meat and veggies diet, and if your sticking to meat and veggies you can stuff your face and not worry about getting fat...besides anytime I get strict with meat and veggies, you cant or dont want to keep eating, totally curbs your appetite!

how much do you weigh now? looks awsome
similar to what im doing. i was doing 140 carbs on lift days, and 100 carbs on cardio days, and doing 20 min cardio after lift, and an hour and 15 min cardio every 3rd day, at the end of my cycle.
now i am not doing cardio after lift, hitting up IPAMs during my pct, and doing cardio with heart rate around 130-150 depending, for about 40 min, and about 10 min in the middle, and 10 min at the end (making 60 min total cardio), doing intervals, be it on the bike, rower, or sprinting
i always eat the same thing every single day so its easy to track changes because i just either add or remove carbs.
here is how im eating now, and the caloric breakdown for it
i calculated i was eating 443 gram protein, which seems like it may be an over estimate, but i have issues with portion control unless i weigh it out and tend to eat way over that when it comes to meat...i keep fat between 40-50
On cardio Days
40 oatmeal in the morning, 40 precardio, 60 post cardio
=140 carbs, 560 cals from carbs,
Total cals = 2692 cals
On lift Days
40 for 4 meals, and 40 in PW shake
200 carbs, 800 cals from carbs
Total cals = 2932 cals
1 day per weekend ("carb up")
60 for 4 meals, 40 in PW shake
280 carbs, 1120 cals from carbs
Total cals = 3252 cals
i cheated a shitton this weekend though visiting the folks
that blurb about not needing to count cals is absolute bullshit. you can certainly get fat off even just shitloads of meat. ive done it plenty of times.
as for cardio, you sacrifice some muscle size, for more mitochondria in your fibers, which burn more nutrients throughout the day. it probably doesnt make that huge of a difference, but it does have benefits compared to just lifting.
also i think cardio is super important for your heart, and over all performance in the weight room.
