You mean like reverse dieting and what not, dude imo not worth it. It’s like a walking the edge of a knife, I just feel like it’s better to bump up from say 8% shredded to like 10.5%-11 srs

It’s all water manipulation and bowel movements at that point srs

How much did you weigh in the op? You looked completely insane. Your shoulder to waist ratio is just crazy.

Got an Oculus Quest 2 recently, Thrill of the Fight is a badass boxing game, amazing cardio and a lot more fun than running. Nice to mix it up for once from traditional cardio.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Yassss. After spending the last couple of years on traditional bulk/cut cycles with weight swings around 15ish pounds, this year I plan to slow the pace roughly in half and just mini-cut when I want to sharpen things up. Given my age, training age, genetics, and current composition, I'm going to try and enjoy some year round aesthetics while slowly adding a little quality mass here and there even if not at "optimal" rates.

I'm just about to hit 49 years old and finally reached a mental state where I can be somewhat proud of the aesthetics I've achieved at this point. Photos from the last month:

Started off this cut a bit slow, and rolling in with 3K calories. Stark contrast from what I usually do to cut...

Not exactly a fan.

Am considering running another divebomb to 1.2K today.

I am in on this. The gyms closed down combined with being lazy and unfocused for the last 6 months have got me feeling and looking gross. Finally have my home gym put together enough to actually put in some real work again.

Starting this off around the 235 mark, will need to get back into the 190's

In again this year. My goal for this year is the same as last year: bulk. I just didn't get my diet dialed enough to really gain much weight. I pretty much maintained at roughly 205 lbs for the duration of last year. Trying to get to 225 relatively lean over the next couple years.

First two days and i lost 1 kg. Dat dere water of course, and low calories (less than 2k). I know its not ideal but its far from starving myself after the ridiculous surplus of december lol.

I think ill be very close to done by march, after that its just taking it very slow and enjoy the year.

Mirin all the blood on the floor. What martial art do you train? I see you throwing some elbows there. Also, is that a gold top in that one vid? I didn't know you play guitar as well. Pretty cool, man.

Lmfao yeah I got a weird colored garage floor

I used to box, and fought amateur for a while but now I just do it to stay in shape and sharp. The elbows are for fun, and I've been learning how to kick although I'm not very good at it at the moment. So I stick to what I'm good at when I'm doing it for cardio, then throw in the "fun" stuff when I'm done.

I do play guitar but not super well, wish I was a heck of a lot better. You play?

Right, think you've mentioned your boxing before. I've been thinking about starting judo sometime soon. It's a great way to meet people plus it's also a different form of exercise since it combines both aerobic and anaerobic systems.

Yeah, I've been playing for a little over two years. Progress is coming along steadily but I definitely want to improve my consistency a lot this year. That's the key. My goal is to play everyday, even if it's just for 15 mins.

I didMy routine varies GREATLY from day to day, but the template kind of looks like this:

Rounds are 3 min, breaks are 1 min

Round 1: Left hand only.
Round 2: Left hand sets up the right.
Round 3: Right hand sets up the left.
Round 4: Comfort flow / step in step out
Round 5: Comfort flow / step in step out
Round 6: Comfort flow
Round 7: Comfort flow
Round 8: Jab City (Jabs only)
Round 9: Straight Punches only
Round 10: Free

I usually warm up with bouncing for 5 minutes and then shadowboxing for 3-4 rounds (until I feel "comfortable/springy/loose"). So basically the moment I feel like I can throw clean punches with good rythym and flow, I move to the bag.

I also always set aside time to work on one very specific thing during each session. It could be something I am used to, or a new technique. But I always set aside "fun" time which is basically a bit of time to mess around, which is usually at the end of a session. Gets me to push myself a little more but because it is fun, it doesn't feel that way.

I also have days where I don't hit the bag at all but do primarily footwork, and those days I tend to run a few different drills. Next footwork day I'll throw up a video

I used to do BJJ because I wanted to fill out my game more. I used to wrestle greco/freestyle/folkstyle. have been waiting for my finances to get in order before I get back into it. I do recommend joining a gym, and Judo is a fantastic art. I don't think it has much ground work, so I might recommend BJJ but that's kind of the opposite... A lot of gyms don't teach takedowns as much. Tbh my best recommendation is to find a gym where they have both a takedown art and a BJJ instructor.

Nice dude! Would love to hear some of your stuffLegit its always cool to hear people play and watch them as they learn. We have pretty similar guitar goals, I am trying to spend more time learning. Working on learning any songs rn?

Work work work boyos. Thread's too quiet let's get this chit moving and aesthetic!!!

Current Physique:
Spoiler!

Shirt stayin' on until I got visible abs fuk that lol


Tonight's work:
Spoiler!


Some footwork drills I do that I mentioned to Ken:
Spoiler!


A lot of my current style is based on changing distancebut returning to center immediately after. So what you see above is basically just half steps with punches tacked in. The goal here is to find the rythym for when your punches should happen in accordance to your steps so it kind of almost becomes a dance.

I used to spend more time doing lateral work but lately I have found that I favor the mid so lateral movement happens a little less frequently

Wait, so you did BJJ because it wasn't as intense cardio-wise? That's a bit of a concern for me as well. As you know, I'm trying to bulk and my main interest right now is learning the Olympic lifts. So overexerting myself with too much cardio is something that's in the back of my mind. Though, I do have a "cross that bridge when I get there" mentality for now, as I don't see myself starting for a little while. Judo is great. I did it as a kid for a couple years but moved on from it, which I now regret. A lot of the gyms around here operate as MMA gyms, so if I wanted I could probably drop in on some BJJ or striking classes to supplement the Judo.

Yeah, it's always cool to see people progress with guitar. Currently I'm learning the song 'Cirice' by Ghost. It's a metal song with some really great riffs and a cool solo. I've mostly been focusing on some technique stuff lately though. I'll put together some vids and PM you. What about you, any new songs lately? And what genres are you mostly into?

This is pretty much me at like 160lb. Trying to gain weight but nothing with major fat, just a slight lean bulk since I need to do quite abit of endurance and cardiovascular work

Yeah I'm quite aware that my development of my chest and traps aren't there but it's just more I'm looking forward to improving
