i tried to get down to 9-11% but there is always next year
Why next year?
Have you changed your goal plans? Do you want to be leaner than you are now? Or, do you want to add some mass and lean down.
What......are you happy with, Mark? Come to terms.
Is some of the carb-cycling difficulty getting to you? If you have carb-cycled, tell me how you (specifically) went about this.
When your BF drops (again), if you move to a bulking period, you will meet face to face the same or similar problems you have now. The monster doesn't leave, it just lays dormant, and it must be dealt with.
Leaning down under 10% is (IMO), one of the most difficult portion of one's goal placement (assuming this is the goal, and the individual is healthy, and playing ground equal). Why do you think there are so many people that want it, but do not attain it? Its because the last portion, can be a b---tch. Does the b--tch defeat the bastard? Or does the bastard defeat the b--tch?
When I was 152/154 pounds (dropping from 190-ish), I do not know how many people said I was skinny, and the abdominal core was rather sickening (my wife included), and quite frankly, I: DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN, I was sticking to the value of myself and will not abandon myself for the sake of an another opinion (using correct context here) and my fitness plans: Were/are personal.
If you are switching because YOU want to this is cool. If you are switching because of some type of exterior influence
and abandoning yourself,
I am going to bust your nuts.:violent:
You have made extensive improvement, Mark. Why not go all the way, if THIS is what you want to do?
on reflection 155-160 was a little adventurous(sp) but i did learn alot. Carb cycling is a bitch at first but i believe iv`e got it down to a T now
What did you learn? Be specific. How did you get this down?
What sort of crap is that? A person can not discover new oceans, unless he has the courage to see the shore insight. If you become psychologically defeated, your body likewise becomes defeated. This was/is an attainable goal for you, Mark.
Good Progress, Mark........
Peace.....
