10 week transformation, 2 weeks out, help me stay motivated!

[dxiw]

I'm 2 weeks out from my goal of 8% bodyfat. I'm currently sitting around 10-11%. The last picture in the transformation was taken 3-4 weeks out at 12%. I've just turned the intensity up a notch with long cardio, more stimulants, complete carb deprivation, and harder workouts. This is where the **** hits the fan...

For those wondering, my LBM has stayed constant throughout the cut (actually increased a little bit).

In two weeks, I'll post the final pictures at 8% with water deprivation, no body hair and a proper tan. But I'm going to need the support of you guys to make it happen.

EDIT: I didn't even post my before picture because yes, it's THAT bad. The first picture there is like week 2.

Also, the last picture was shot by my friend unexpectedly at a diagonal angle through a mirror. I'm not actually THAT asymmetrical LOL. I wasn't even really flexing my arms, just abs and chest. Also, I am completely cold / carb depleted in all of these pictures.

Good work, you have done well at not losing any LBM.

That's an incredible transformation. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.

damn it looks like you have gained muscle, awesome! I say keep on going for 10more weeks and go harder!

You've got some serious dedication. You have gotten progressively more bad-ass towards the end (different hair, 5-o'clock shadow, lol).

lol. I blame it on the testosterone...Maybe the final pics will have a shaved head, some insane tan and some body waxing... hmmm

Instead of doing a traditional "bulk", I would like to do a slow, clean one and keep my leanness. What do you guys think about doing a bulk where I just take traditional carb cycling and bump the calories up a lot... Basically, eating around maintenance on non-training days or a little above, but eating +1000-1500kcal above maintenance on workout days (concentrated pre/post workout), and doing some of regular light cardio to stay lean?

wow man, sick!

[rtrose]

You don't even look like the same person as your first posts! Wow!

Good job, thats excellent. I like the way you set up the pics too. That will be very motivational one day, if it isn't already.

Fantastic work! Really a great improvement.


Assuming you're able to stick with a proper diet, have you ever considered the bulk version of UD2.0? He briefly discusses it at the end of that book. It's a great way to minimize the fat gain during a bulk.

If you were to take the traditional route to a bulk, why increase your cals so much on training days? And you can do without the cardio.
