There's this huge guy that comes in to the gym I go to. Nice guy and he's like 6'5 and he's gotta be 300lbs. First time I saw him I thought dang I bet he was a body builder at one time. You know big forearms but a gut.
Well, about 12 weeks later I see this guy in the locker room and he is shredded with nice round full muscle definition. He won 1st place in August show around here last year. I think he told me he dropped like 40lbs for the show. INSANE. So yeah I guess they do get used to it and their bodies adjust to it over the years.
I'm lucky in that I can lose weight pretty easy it seems. I just have to be careful not to let it go too fast. Last time I did the keto full on for 12 weeks and I dropped to like 7.8% BF but I didn't like the way I looked. Too much like a runner rather than beefy.
I figure I'll go with what I'm doing for now, then hit the keto diet at the very end if needed to get that last little bit. We'll see. I'm not going to compete or anything, this is just for fun.
I haven't felt too bad on the diet. I am a bit more tired later in the day but that's to be expected dropping calories. At the gym I do fine, but I was a Marine and just mentally turn off any distractions from the goal. Muscles aren't cramping or doing anything weird like that so I figure I'm good. If I start to get muscle cramps or have issues I'll adjust as needed.
The BB guy at the gym said he like OxyELite and Diamon X7 for cutting. You guys tried any of that kind of stuff? I've never needed anything like that but wanted to have something in mind just in case.
