You will need less calories than the six pack plan will reccomend for your bodyweight because you don't have as much lean mass, so I'd start your calorie cycle at 1800 calories.
Apart from that, the weights routine and water drinking guidlines will work well for you.
Below is my current pic. I am currently undecided as to whether I should try and bulk now or lose more fat first.
I would really appreciate any of you guys comments??? I am currently tempted by PV's attitude of 'bulk now, 6 pack later'. It seems to make sense, rather than go for the six pack and lose it whilst bulking later.
But completely open to opinions!
I still can't believe how far you have come since your first photo on this post, let alone since the start of the Mr Mansized challange. You have dramatically changed your body shape, and it just proves that with dedication, a decent diet and solid hard gym work it can be done. An inspiration i'm sure to lots of other guys out there with similar goals, and to those of us for the inspiration to 'stick with it'. Nice one matey.
flipping hell! I agree your body transformation is unbelievable and something to be truly proud of. I myself am a similar sort of body shape, i bit chubbier i'd say and i personally am going for the 6-pack. I figure once thats done and i bulk, intially at least my fat/muscle ratio wont be a huge worry and i know im comfortable with cutting given my recent attempts.
So anyway good luck with whatever route you decide to take. Given your previous results i have no doubt u'll be an inspiration to a huge number of people on mansized.
Well it really depends on how you feel. Looking at you, I think I would continue to do what you are doing now, as it seems to be working, and maybe in a few months decide on a new direction. Just seems silly to 'cut' or 'bulk' when you are doing so well at the moment.
HI Science boy,
I'm kind of in the same quandry.
I'm at about week 7 of the 6 pack plan. After the weekend I wanted to give up on that to be honest, it seemed like there was too far to go and I suspected that the end goal wasn't something that I was 100% sure I wanted to achieve, and thus you lose a little motivation - not in terms of gym and diet (at least not during the week) its more of a weekend thing - where I want to relax.
I'm about 60% sure I'm going to finish this one, it'll be 100% if I get through the weekend without nibbling on crap! I'm just hoping that a further loss of about 5 pounds equates to about 2.5 inches on the waist! and not 12 pounds!
I've enjoyed it made good progress, 1600 cal weeks are hard but this week for instance I've cycled back up to 1800 and its been ace!
There are a number of exercises that are different on the challenge so it would be good to try other exercises for you.
SO I reckon have a go at doing that
any Qs you know where I am
