Cutting Week 3

Twas the day after Xmas and lone behold David has put on about 10 pounds :)

Im not too worryed about my weigh in this morning, id been making good progress and I knew the dreaded Xmas binge was coming.

I did though stick to only meat and vegtables, no potatos or desserts so im happy about that. I did how ever have a slight down fall with the cranberry sauce, completely covered my turkey in it.

As time goes on though im learning that food selection isnt my problem.

Some people gravitate towards pizza, beer, choclate and soft drinks but I dont even blink twice at those foods anymore. I dont eat bread, pasta or even drink milk but I still struggle with my weight and now I know why.

My portions, yeah sure I gravitate towards fruit, lean meats and vegtables but I can eat more calories from those items in one sitting that most could in a day.

Take fruit for example, have you ever met anyone that could eat 24 apples in half an hour? Well you have now:)
Or how 2 KG of raw carrots in one sitting, yup me again. Or my personale favorite, how about an entire fucking turkey for dinner and I shit you not. 1.4 KG and i ate everything including some of the bones and the best part was I was still hungry after:P

Go fucking figure huh?

Ah well, we all struggle and this is mine simply portion control. Anyway im on day 4 of my 21 day chalange to not eat unless its one of my 5 meal times as snacking on fruits and meats was what was doing most of the damage.

So lets recover from Xmas and keep it real. Here are the Pics as promised:)

Week 8

Ok so its been two weeks since Ive posted.

Sorry for the delay but the last few weeks have been hectic, not too mention a fucking disaster.

As I told you last week I was starting a cut, lol that went well:P

First time in a years that ive fallen off the wagon. Now dont get me wrong the cut went well for the week. I kept my Kcals down and I dropped 10 solid pounds of whatever.

So anyway I dropped all that weight and then I fucking freaked and went back on my shitty bulking diet and well yeah, things haven't been good.

So Ive started a 8 week cut and come hell or high water im going to fucking stick to it.

Week 6

Hey guys, how are you all?
Good?, Glad to hear it.

So after doing a lot of research Ive found that normal bulking wont work for my body type because Im a former fat boy and that means Im very prone to storing body fat, as my 5 weeks of clean bulking clearly show.


So im cutting down and starting again only this time im going to stay only about 300 kcals about mentinance instead of about 2000 lol.

So its been a full week since I started my cut and im feeling a little better about myself. I still look like utter shit but I know it will be about 8 weeks or so until I look like myself again.

After weighting myself this morning im down to 159 from 168, so thats almost 10 pounds in a week, Now I know a lot of that is from water weight and my glycogen stores depleting but still its a tad scary since I only want to lose a pound a week.

Well we will see how it goes after another week and ill fiddle with my Kcals to get it right.,

Week 5

So as I promised here is week 5 of my progress pictures.

I must admit though I have become a bit of a lard ass but that's my own fault really.

See im a FFB, a former fat boy so it would appear the normal ruloes of bulking dont really apply to my fat ass.

So Ive decided to cut down until I can see my abs again and go about this bulk in a very different way, and that way will be a fucking lifetime commitment.

I realise now Ill never be a lean 180 in a few months, or even a few years. Nope this is something im gonna have to fucking dedicate my life too because I hate my self so much right now for letting my fat ass come back.

Well fuck this anyway, I didnt break my balls for a year and diet all that shit off to get fat and sad again, Its time to make shit right and start my bodybuilding lifestyle the way Im ment to live it, slow and very very very clean

Some people will say blah blah blha, if its so much effort why bother? Well fuck you you fucking cunt, I like being lean, I like being muscular, I like dropping girls pantys and thats exactly what im gonna fucking do!

I will be fucking certain I don't become one of those fat assed dudes who think their awesome cause they can lift yet look like a fat shit.

10 Things Ive learned

So if you wanna get down to it I personally have been lifting for about 6 months seriously and even though im only starting Ive learned a few things through trial and error that I really wish id known when I started.

1. Have a clear cut goal

Seriously, if you dont know exactly where you want to go you haven't got a fucking hope of making any progress.
Take me for example, for months i flip flopped from losing weight to trying to gain muscle and in the end I got neither and wasted a full 6 months.

My goals now are as follows:
1) Build my body up too a leanish 200 pounds
2) Cut up until im under 10% bf

2. Start small

If you try and go to hard too soon something will give I shit you not. If its not your elbow, knee, back or what ever it will be your dedication.
I know it may seem shit to start small and slow but it gives you so much more room to play with in the long run.

3. A routine is good

OK, now I know that my motto is balls to the wall every time but im fucking human just like you so every now and again I wont really be feeling my workout or diet. What do I do when this happens? DO I give up?, Skip the workout, give up on the diet?

Are you fucking crazy? No I don't do any of those pussy things, instead I simply fall into a routine. I just go through the motions day in and day out until my motivation comes back.

4. You can always out-eat your training.

If you don't believe me then go and do a 6 Hour marathon followed by 6 large pizzas, makes sense right? If I work out with intensity for an hour I should be able to eat something like a pizza or a big mac!

If you answered yes then get the fuck off my blog you compensating bollox! Life is hard and shit most of the time and your diet isn't any different.

5. Most people don't give a fuck

Honestly, when I started bodybuilding I thought everyone and their mother would care about my looks and how much I lifted. The sad truth is that no one gives two shits, they have their own lives, own problems and they don't give a flying fuck about you and your life.

If your gonna follow this path, do it for you and you alone.

6. Comparing yourself to others

Just don't do it. Right so your what? about 200 pounds, leanish and about 6 foot right? So you eat pretty good and have a decent lift so you get all smug when you see a newbie trying to lift or stick to their diet. Well sunshine I have news for you, in this big bad world I would on average their is probably about 8-900 million people bigger, stronger, leaner and better than you so please have some fucking humility.

On the other hand, if your constantly shooting yourself down because your not as big, fast or as strong as the other guys in your gym just STOP! Compare you to you and no one else.

7. Being too anal

Now this wont apply to many people but it defiantly applys to me. If your like me your the kinda guy that likes to be real natty gritty with details that don't matter a shit. Things like freaking out over eating 70 grams of carbs instead of 65 grams or refusing to eat vegetables because they have a tablespoon of olive oil on them.

My advice to guys like me is to just try and chill, I know from experience that we think in all or nothings which is handy because it goes hand in hand with bodybuilding but this is one of those times you need to try and chill just even a little.

8. Not being consistent

So you did pretty well this week huh? Hit the gym a full 3 times and managed to stick to your diet from Monday to Friday! Good man yourself but just one question motherfucker what the hell happened once Saturday hit huh? Did you suddenly get permission to give up on your routine?

Look I know better than anyone that moderation is key in this sport but when it comes to consistency you have NO CHOICE but to be consistently consistent, other wise your entire plan goes to shit princess.

9. Not being patient

Lads let me lay some advice onto you, now before I do I will admit that I need to remind myself of this constantly but it goes like this "Bodybuilding is a process, not an end result".

That's all im going to say about that, If you cant learn to be patient you will never have the body you want.

10. Have fun

I don't know how many times in the last 6 months Ive dragged my ass to the gym hating every second of it.

That simply isn't the attitude you want to have about working out, you need to learn to love it.

Nowadays I look forward to my leg workouts because Im actually scared about the amount of weight im going to try and squat. I get all giggly and start to hyper ventilate and the thought of raw squatting 240 pounds.

My advice is that, no matter how you do it find a way to enjoy your workouts, for me I enjoy the pain(not in a masochistic way) but I do enjoy feeling sore after a great workout, knowing im the fucking man for breaking my balls doing something most people gag at just thinking about and im even more the fucking man because I loved every minute of that shit.

Week 4 Pictures

As promised the photos of my fat ass after 4 weeks of eating about 6.000 Kcals a day.

Granted the food was all clean so I was in quite some denial that I was getting fat "I cant get fat from oatmeal and chicken!" Yeah I fucking wish.

Anyway have fun staring at my fat ass.

My Diet

Ok so I decided Id do my training and diet in separate posts, lets some of the retards out there confuse which is which and next thing you know im getting sued because some fuck nugget thought he could eat a Dumbbell(stranger shit has happened).

Ok so anyway I wont bore you with all the cutting I did back in the summer, ill save all that heart breaking stuff for when im actually cutting up again, sound fair? No? Well to bad asshole.

So I worked out my Kcals a day based on my weight, height, LBM and BF % and the grand total comes to about 2,700 Kcals a day to maintain my weight.

What im trying to do is a version of Tom Venutos calorie staggering, in which I have three high days i.e. 15% over matinance followed by three low days i.e. 5% below matinance.

My high days are working out at about 3,150 kcals and my low days are working out at about 2,600 kcals.

No as for my macros, lets get one thing clear here people I have a little Endo in me. Im a firm beliver of listening to your body and my body tells me if I go over board on the carbs ill suffer for it, fucking genetics huh.

Well anyway my macros break down to Protein : 40% Carbohydrates: 35% and Fat 25%.

To be honest with you guys my diet isnt great, I mean sure I sick to all the body building fair. I eat eggs, steak, oats, Yams, brown rice etc but little things are always fucking my diet in the ass.

Take tonight for example, I got home from a really hard day and even though I had consumed the bulk of my calories already(I try to taper off my calories before bed) I managed to come in and eat two fucking bags of vegtables, that two fucking KGs and im still hungry ffs.

Anyway Ill update you guys as I go in my diet but the bottom line is, I know what I have to do and I know that excessive eating will just make me fat but I have such a fucking weakness for vegtables and steak that im always blwoing my fucking limits.

Oh yeah that and fucking fruit, on Sunday I ate and I shit you not 9 bananas ! And the only reason I didnt eat 10 was because we didnt have any more.

Im going to get my fat ass back on track so I can start packing on the muscle and not the lard.

Week 4

So its week 4 of my "clean bulk".

Yeah, yeah I know most of you are going to piss and moan that I really should have started this blog at day one, well all I can say is what the fuck do you want from me?

I only found out about this whole blog thing today from Dave Tate, so I decided fuck it, I feel like shit lets get some accountableness going like a mo fo.

So Its Monday and day one of my clean bulk, tbh with you It hasn't been a great bulk. When I got off my cut I was in Keto so I went on a major carb binge and put on quite some lard but last night I had one of those "moments" and realized id better fix my bulk or become a fat bastard all over again.

So Ive reset my goals(Gain 0.5 to 1 pound a week) while trying to stay at about 12% body fat. Broke out the camera and am going to get the weekly pictures going, like Dave says "I dont give a shit if your calipers says your only 6% bf, you still look like a fat fuck!"

And lets be honest no one wants to look like a fat shit, even if we are trying to pack on some serious mass "No lights tonight honey, im bulking :/". Yeah I dont think so, I still want to be semi appealing to the ladies.

So im going to be making weekly entrys from now on with my thoughts on how the week went, my diet, my training, pictures and some other random shit that Ive been mulling over in the place I call a head.

That being said Ill leave you with a passing thought of mine. Ever seen the tv show WorkIt? No? Yes?, well for fucks sake dont go near that program for fear of your eyes melting out of their sockets from the shit your witnessing.

Seriously guys, When it gets to a stage where theirs a smoking hot chick bouncing around like a play bunny and the only thing I want to do to her is tear my own dick off and ram it down her throat to shut the slut up we have problems.

Right so ill get some pictures up and ill be talking to you soon with my post about my training and diet.
