1st day following a diet by Spongy and it’s already pretty amazing. It’s only a few hundred calories more then what I’ve been doing on my own for the last 70 days but it feels like a kings feast in comparison. Can’t wait to see where things go now.

I figured I’d start this log to record my progress towards 12-15% bf. Currently I’m 195lbs at 5’10 and apx. 25% bf.

Sounds good dude! Its amazing how much you can put on a plate when you're doing it right.

If Spongy doesn't have you doing it, and I bet he does, take some good pics and tape yourself. Tape everything to compare for later. (PP is optional, I don't since I find it too depressing)

I’m a long way off from that point. Honestly, I feel like I getting my diet right and learning to embrace heavy compound lifts has really changed a lot for me. I’m going to see how far I can take that before doing anything else.

I’m also using the team to read and do my homework so I have a clue about what I’m doing when I’m ready to take the next step. This place has already educated me a lot.

Down to 184lb after starting around 220 back in early December. My original goal was 180lbs but it’s looking like I need another 10lbs. This is the least I’ve weighed in 20 years so this is new teritory for me.

Everyone here is such great motivation to suck it up and keep pushing. Especially watching Hurts log and Seeks work... you guys are inspirational beasts. Can wait to enjoy the building side.

His plan really changed things for me. I was losing weight before but his plan restored my energy levels and is making the whole thing more maintainable. Only downside is I’ve cooked more meals and done more dishes in the last few weeks then I’ve done in the previous 5+ years. Wife’s happy though!

I’ve been eating meals out of those glass containers with dividers. (Prep naturals I think) it’s more the pots and pans from cooking the food.

I’ve finally started using giant Tupperware containers that hold 4-5 days worth of chicken or steak. Makes it easy to measure everything out when I get behind. Splits up cooking and prepping a bit.

After eating this way, I’m more amazed I wasn’t 400+ lbs with all the Mexican and fast food I used to eat. It’s amazing what the body can tolerate. I’m glad it all finally clicked for me.

Long way to go but I figured it's time to post some photos.. Planning on dropping a bit more then focusing on building back up the right way.

Looking good brother! Looks like the diet plan is working. We will probably switch things up when you get down a bit more. keep me updated!

Last week I finally got down to my goal of 180 which is a 40lb drop for me. BF isn’t where I want it to be but I figure it’s time to take a small break and focus lifting strong. No point chasing a lower bf% if I have nothing left to show underneath!

Today was leg day. Trying to grow my quads to the size of Hurt’s forearms.

Squats 8x10
Leg Press 5x10

Leg Curls 5x12
Leg Extensions 5x12
Donkey Kicks 3x12
Hip Abductions 3x15
Hip Adduction 3x20
Sit-ups 100

Sit-ups? We've come a long way since sit ups. I don't know anyone who does sit-ups anymore. So many better options available to work your core.
