damn for some reason i can't see the picture..

Well yeah.. your BF was significantly high to be "ripped" without droping around 40 - 50lbs.  

Were you not at 210 before? or 215?    I really want to see the picture! you could be at an inbetween stage where your shinking and just starting to see the definition.  Cut all the way down to 170 - 175lbs and you might like the way you look.. you may even look like a monster ;)  If you don't like it screw it bulk back up but keep the diet clean and you will stay lean.  

The problem with dirty bulking and why 90% of "Real" body builders will tell you it's stupid.. is that your going to put on a significant amount of fat with the muscle and by the time your done cutting it all off your going to lose a substantial amount of muscle.   Your trying to grow way faster then physically possible.   But in the end often you are wating your time and further way from the chizzled physique of a bodybuilder.   Most guys who tell you eat what ever etc.. are just mass monsters some who may have decent genetics and stay moderatly lean, but look nothing how someone with a pro card or someone who has experience doing shows looks.

I do understand that your goals are different then most though.   

Regardless I can't wait to see how you look and how are you dieting?  Just wondering, because that's a substantial amount of weight to lose.

Your looking much better, congrats man! keep it up

Thanks guys. 

Ya, IBB I don't know why you can't see the pics.  I lost about 30 lbs. since cleaning up my diet and starting to do cardio.  I'm pretty happy with the way I look now.  No matter how I take pics, I never look as defined in the pics as I do in real life.  I don't know why that is.  Still, I do have a good amount of definition now. 

I eat mostly clean stuff, avoid junk foods and starchy carbs.  I do cardio like 5 days a week because of my MMA classes too.  If I were to cut to 170 - 175, then yes, I'd probably have a 6 pack.  I pretty much have definition everywhere except my stomach, and even there I'm starting to see a few lines of definition that I didn't see before.

Yeah obvious difference from last pics.  You do look a lot thinner

Nice pedalboard.  Is that a Boss CE-5 on there?  I have one of those, but don't care too much for the sound.  Sounds too digital.

Yup, all my pedals pretty much are Boss except for the wah and the tuner.  I like the CE-5.  I'm a huge tone junky, but not a huge effect junkie, so give me a great amp and some half-assed effects pedals, and I'll be happy.

Lookin good, but....couldn't you have changed to boxers that don't have urine stains?

V,

hmmm 10 - 15 more lbs!! Cut more!  Looks way better then before though!  Well your double bi does.  Chest will probably come in more with more weight cut, it seems to sculpt it more.

Dude, for some reason the pictures never do me any justice.  Seriously, I think the one thing that doesn't need work at all is my chest.  My chest is actually a bit too big for my liking.  But according to the pics, you can't even tell.  I'm always hesitant to post pics for that reason.

I like the urine stains Virt.

And thanks everyone else.  I think I may go through with this 10 more lbs. cut thing just to see what happens.  175 - 180 range.  It's the summer vanity thing ya know? Lol

Looking good Bri.  Your lats look like they could use a little work.

I think a lot more definition would come out if I cut (duh), with my gut being smaller, everything else around it would be more sculpted looking. 

But as I said, the camera never does me any justice.  I look a lot different in real life looking in the mirror of my bathroom, but as soon as I snap the picture, it doesn't look nearly as good.

I have the same problem, it makes it hard to judge progress.  So best thing to do is catalogue some pictures to compare rather than the mirror, I can feel great after looking in the mirror and the very next day feel horrible, the mirror lies!!

Your looking a lot healthier! Nice casual cutting... !!!!

To be honest I think you could do yourself more justice with camera with some better lighting to show definiton and body hair removal.  Then get a pump going and you should get a pretty dope picture.

Right on man! yeah dude just do it cut cut cut.  Then clean bulk back up and it will be easy to stay lean.

Ya, I have no choice but to cut honestly with this MMA stuff.  I eat healthy just to eat healthy, but the MMA is all cardio, and it peels all the fat off.
