chefwide pics.. kind of before after shots...

[archive_ChefWide]

Kinda before after pic thing... first one is at 36-38% bf, the others at 13% bf? i think....

http://www.wallachdg.com/beforeAfter.jpg

these are more recent, about 10.5%, but again a guess...

http://www.wallachdg.com/inGym.jpg

will pop some more this week, took my three point and tape test yesterday morning, 9%... maybe a little less

Chef, you are a f*(Kin animal. Great pics.

[archive_Killer]

I still cannot believe these pics! Amazing.

How long between pics?

[MidEastBeast]

These are freakin awesome results ChefWide. I'm floored. You are an inspiration!

It aint the size that counts it's the......no..no, it's the size.

[archive_Slo Mo]

Those pics are incredible, hell of a transformation. After seeing this, I now wanna get back into the single digit bf% range.

Hail to the Victors!

[archive_ChefWide]

literally LMAO!


Thanks, all, it's stil funny to look back at those shots... i have some of the uber fattiest of the fat in my boxers doing quarter turns.. shudder.. but the damn images are on a drive that went belly up (did i just type that?) and i need to get the drive recovered...

to answer: it took 18 months and a week or there about to lose 100lbs of fat and two lbs of LBM... i was down to 209 at that point and had some images from then.. just not sure where they are... the shots in the Gym are at about 218 after i had started a lean gaining phase for some personal best attempts at squat and deads wich i did last december..

There really isnt a downside.. i guess that 10.5% guesstimate is wishfull thinking.. i havent had a three point test done in a while, so my estimates are all site measurement based.

I would love to see what 6% looks like just once.. gonna recommit and try and get there....

These are some of the best transformation pics I have ever seen. Simply awesome.

Just by looking at the face appearance in these pics, you do not even look like the same creature.

Even as I graciously bow my head and smile... and knowing that accepting a compliment bestows honor upon the giver, let me clear something up:

NOBODY kicks ass like you.

Lookin great broham!

Id say that has to be lower than 10.5? Am i wrong?

[archive_Spectre]

I am thinking lower than 10.5, more like 6ish.. My abs don't even come out until below 8..

That is the absolute best transformation I have ever seen.. I look at myself an dthen kick my own ass, some more..

[joepalooka]

Nice Job Chef you have made one hell of a great transformation.

[archive_ChefWide]

nice work, whats your diet approach like?

<BLOCKQUOTE class="**-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by maccer:

thanks nubes!

maccer: basic calorie cycling, three or four days pretty low, mod day, couple days low, one 'reward' day which turns into a cheat meal more than a whole day...

about 10x bodyweight on low days,12 for mod, 15 for high days... have done everything from bodyopus, anabolice diet, mr. Xs fatfast, basic hard core keto diets but have discovered that the cycling works best for me....

thank you very much

[archive_LuckyDog]

Chef, what is the macronutrient breakdown profile? Does the % pro/carb/fats change with the different days??? Thanks

[archive_ChefWide]

Hey LD,

It does, my pro stays the same throughout, for the most part, and i adjust low days to lower carbs and slightly higher fats, and my high day is VERY high carb and as low as 15-20% fat at the highest...

Sassy has a GREAT cal/carb cycling post over at EF, i will dig it up for ya...

Esp since I tried searching but since I'm not a member nor a platinum member, I can't do anything over there anymore.
