Getting there


Cornfed

Recommended Posts

This is me two months after starting a Paleolithic diet. I had hoped to have arrived at my ideal physique by now, but after losing the first ~7kg, the fat loss slowed to a crawl. However, I'm still progressing so I'll get there eventually. As can be seen, I still have some flab and loose skin around my chest and midsection, which really isn't much but detracts from the whole look. After I lose that and another couple of kg to make the muscles pop out, I should be about right. (Sorry about the quality of these pics - I haven't mastered the autotimer, lighting and such).

Looks like you are showing some good results there Cornfed. Are you going to tweak your calorie intakes around or play with cardio frequency/duration to help rev up your metabolism to speed up the fat burn?

Have you lost much strength?

No, I'll probably just keep plodding along. I hope to be lean and muscular indefinitely, and if I have to do anything too complicated to achieve that look then it is unlikely to last.

Have you lost much strength?

I haven't lost any strength in most lifts. An exception is squats, where I find it hard to do true full range of motion lifts above 110kg. I expect that I'm missing the cushion of fat that used to help at the bottom. I'm not able to do heavy bench presses because of a rotator cuff injury anyway, but if I were it would probably be the same story with that.

what about the loose skin: will it ever dissapear or will it stay till u nip tuck it ?

I had rather hoped it would disappear on its own. I've been up to over 100kg before and the skin has obviously tightened since then, so it should only be a matter of time.

also whats your work out split like ?

Still doing 4 sort of whole body workouts a week consisting of whatever compound pushing, pulling and leg exercise I want to do on the day, plus exercises for whatever peripheral bodyparts I want to work.
