Good work, bro.
Curious: How is your strength now compared to then?

Yeah, well, staying so tight is definitely not easy, as you know. Every week I tell myself I can not do it anymore, that I woudl rather enjoy myself, but then I eat like shit on Saturday and Sunday and stuff myself like a pig and feel so gross I am almost anxious to get back to dieting by Monday LOL. That is the only way I do it. I only really feel shitty on Thrusday and Friday b/c I eat whatever I want on the weekends and the glycogen stores hold me over for a few days following.
It may not look like I have lost a lot of size, but if you saw me in person it would be mroe obvious. You have to remember that in my avatar I was soo depleted (even after the shitload) and in show shape. In my new pics (the first two anyway) are after two full days of shitloading on fast food, cheesecake etc.
Strength isn't too bad, I am down maybe 60-70lbs on squats & deads and like 20-25lbs per dumbell on dumbell chest pressing movements, however that is a comparison to me when I was in offseason mode shape and geared up compared to now being 1.5 yrs clean and dieted down, so its not so bad I guess. It really just depends on how depleted I am. If I start adding a lot of carbs back in for a week or so (which I do periodically) then I really see the weights start to jump back up pretty significantly. I have seen the biggest loss in my leg mass, but I am sure a lot of that can be attributed to a lot of cardio I was doing for a while, and very low carbs. Thing is I really havent even been that tight, I am jsut tight M-F, I even drink on the weekends. I don't even take any supplements really anymore. Thanks for stopping in Skip
