When I Started:
Apr, 2007
How I Started:
My waist size kept increasing and found myself unable to fit into my pants. I read some transformation stories and was glad when I found out that I can make a substantial change to my physique in matter of months. Thats when I got started.
Why I Love It:
Change!
Positive Change is happening in all dimensions of my life. In particular this has improved my stamina many folds.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at myself in the mirror!
BB Accomplishments:
Stamina!
Now I can burn 350cal or more in about 30 minutes without getting tired. This was impossible for me just few months ago.
I have too much fat around my belly, so the main goal is to get rid of that fat as quick as possible. Getting to 32" waist means I have to loose 3 inches.
I have set a goal of loosing one inch every month. So in 3 months (by end of Nov) I will have my waist at 32".
Long Term I want to look like one of those underwear models.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
15%

well I personally don't, if you do it might be too much fiber...when I was cutting, I was going for 25-30g of fiber a day, and I tried to get it from fruits/veggies/oats/bread, and if I couldn't I'd use flax seeds...but that being said, flax seeds are GREAT and there's nothing wrong in taking them liberally with your protein shakes, just make sure you take those fats into account!!!
I would recommend at least a 5 day split where you lift weights 5 days a week. I would also recommend cardio, some sort of low intensity and high intensity preferably if you can make the time
Yeah man I think based on your pics you should do a slow cutting cycle, so try to lose maybe 0.5-1 lbs a week until your bodyfat gets down to between 10-13%, then you can start bulking up (like I am)
macros look solid, now just do it!! lol, but seriously lay out a simple diet that you think you an follow consistently, and ensure slow weight loss
alright this stuff is called tren extreme and this other stufff mass extreme they are made by american cellular labs i think you will like them you can buy them at a store called max muscle if you have one where you live if not get it off their website go ahead and google those 2 things if you got any questions just let me know i will b starting a 6 week cycle in about 2 weeks
With the macros, I think they look pretty good, personally I'd recommend a little more protein and a little less carbs, probably at least 170 lbs of protein since it seems you're more of an endomorph (like me)
other than that looks solid man, keep me updated with the progress!!
I think you're off to a great start
With the 2000 calories, start off with it and see how you progress on a weekly basis, since you're cutting you should aim to lose 1-1.5 lbs a week...adjust the calories accordingly...
nothing wrong with indian food man, just try to find the macronutrient profile (carbs, fats, and protein) for all the foods beforehand so you can fit it into your daily macros...have you figured out your macros yet? that's the most important step when it comes to your diet
Eventually after you've been on this for 1-2 months I'd recommend a split where you hit certain bodyparts twice a week
By the way, you can read through my journal, I've posted all my workouts and daily diet for the past 5 months so you can get a good idea of how I strucutred my vegetarian diet, and you can also get ideas of how my workouts were structured...
and feel free to ask questions!! :-D
I think that's a great idea, so the goal is to hit every body part once a week? What's your training split like? If you're still looking for you, I'd recommend something like:
Mon = Back
Tues = Chest
Wed = Arms
Thurs = Legs
Fri = Shoulders
also, since you upped your protein make sure you're taking in enough fiber...flax seeds did wonders for me, but you can get fiber through fruits, vegetables, oats, and complex carbs
