I Ain’t Got Time To Waste

Think I’ll need to go down to maybe 180lb/81k to reach any sort of condition.
Maintaining strength and muscle is a primary objective so will aim to do this over 16 weeks.
will look skinny as fook at that weight but I am just too fat to justify any sort of calorie surplus until I’m lean. At least the pullups will improve haha
so this means less food, less eating out and more cardio.
initial plan is 10,000 steps NTD and 30 mins cardio TD
calories will remain at 2,000 and min 200g protein but will be much much more consistent now

he looks very different now to how he used to....i trained with him many moons ago (pre Matt hughes fight) .....the guy is born athlete , one of the most elite ive ever seen or trained with. Truly amazing... quite short though but he is a genetic freak in that respect, hed be awesome at whatever sport he chose

only for striking, his thai coach is an english guy who moved to NYC....so i was there purely for the striking sparring, Rashad Evans too... he would then go to Renzo's for BJJ - absolute animal of a trainer but also very polite guy exactly as he comes across in the media to be fair. I was ok nothing special, fun times!
but more muscle back then, hes smaller now but also older too....

JPS is a legend. but thats the same for most high level thai guys, at that time the striking level was poor, I was showing Rashad Evans how to roundhouse properly as his were plain shit and i could see them coming a mile off.... nowadays guys have much better access to thai trainers and camps... so i fluked it really by being there when the level was poor..made me look much better than i am/was!

Ha I experience this, in normal clothes (I work in an office so shirt and tie) I basically don't even look like I lift! If the everyday person finds out I compete in bodybuilding they often seem surprised and some even ask me "don't you have to be bigger to be a bodybuilder?", it's actually a little soul destroying haha

Pre today was 1 scoop MVPre, 1 scoop Infl8. Can confirm it was fire!
Good session. Last hack squat session was 90 x8 so a notable improvement
not doing progressive overload for biceps, that never worked for me. Just a decent pump and connection.

very slow eccentric
2-3 secs stretch at bottom
2-3 secs hold at top

Not a criticism at all, if anything it’s my own naivety but why are you only doing to two sets of most exercises? Or am I reading it wrong?
