How long did it take you to get that buff? holy damn Amazing job
Edit: Just noticed, only a little over a year? Damnnn dude. what kind of nutrition did you have? (Protein intake, supplements etc)
Yeah..took 13 months for 130lbs. 2-3 more months and I'm going to make sure abs are visible. Have a little loose skin around my lower abs, but the more fat lost and muscle gained the more its tightening back.
I take
Orange Triad or Millennium Sport MVP-365 as my multi-vitamin, fish oil,
high-quality whey protein isolate post workout with low carb/fat(2shakes/day). I also take Universals Shock Therapy or Gaspari Nutrition's PlasmaJet for energy/mindset before workouts, along with good creatine(Green Magnitude). I tried a few fat burners like Mitotropin, REDuction, and EC stack. I found the EC(ephedrine/caffeine) stack to be the most efficient for fat loss, followed by Mitotropin.
Water intake is also very important for fat loss. Drink around 2 gallons/day. Pee alot. Elliptical trainers, jogging, swimming, jump rope, and
intense heavy lifting also are also big factors in my transformation.
Caloric intake fluctuated depending on physical activity for the day 1200-1800cals/day. Sometimes I went a few days with only 1000cals/day with workouts(was hard). Had a few cheat days(every other weekend usually) where I ate a bit more (2500-3000cals/day), and sometimes had a lot of beers which are a big no-no(pure carbs & dehydration). So some cheat days I ended up having 3000-4500cals/day, but the next day I always bounced back to normal training routine and pounded the water/weights. So most of the extra calories I consumed during the cheat day helped build muscle instead of fat.
Most important for fat loss:
*****Diet(eat clean,
low carbohydrates/saturated/trans fats)-most calories/day should come from protein(whey, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, lean pork/beef) or poly/mono unsaturated fats such as olive oil or nuts. If your going to have carbs, eat whole grains, bran, oats, wheat or a little fruit. Try to consume most calories/carbs early in the day.
****Water-Drink lots, dehydration inhibits fat loss
***Cardio-Walk, run, swim, or bike etc.. as long and far as possible.
**Weight Training-Speeds metabolism up through out the day & builds muscle.
*Supplements-Whey protein,
good multi-vitamin, fish oil, amino acids(EAA+BCAAs) Most multi-vitamins are a waste, do some research and find a good one.
