I generally follow the “300” ish workout routine and eat right during the 12 week stint to lose fat …then fall back to regular shit eating and workout to maintain. Basically, lower carb and sugar intake, lotsa chicken and protein… typical old school. > The 1st 3 weeks suck as I generally over exert (without proper hydration/carbs etc) myself and if not careful I puke at least one day of the week early on…usually leg day when I also do isometrics…goal burn being over 1000 calories those days. After a few weeks my diet is in order and I’ll be able to hit the wall and hold it. Iso is why I quit the gym and HATE them…but I need them to burn… we shall see if i stick to that part of it. > > I have a simple goal for the next 12 weeks…cut weight…then whatever follows is strength building. Rather start from a better mold… 20 real lbs gotta go first. Not including the 2 lbs of shit and all that water… > > In 2007/08 I went from 202 to 163 and actually made an honest 6 pack… , Im back at 193…and weaksause That’s it, if you hit 160 = back of the pack start at next karting event for you homie… Hahaha. But seriously, 1000 cal day is rough man, good luck to ya! I typically go for 400-500 cal when I hit the gym, basically 3 mile run at 8:30-9:00 min/mile pace and then just a couple of quick exercises as I usually get in before closing and that’s all I have time for. Since I started running and cutting fried foods / treats to 2x a week, I’m down 22 lbs, got 10 more lbs to go though and I’m within like 5 lbs of my high school weight. Planning to do a basic sit up / push up / 1 mile run pseudo fitness test after the holiday and compare with what I did in HS, should be interesting seeing as I graduated HS like 15 yrs ago… :lol 94GT, sorry to be thread jacking but you did ask people to post their own progress… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/progress-thread-94gt5-0/248135)._
