Routines i've already mentioned:

6 days a week weights, 1 bodypart a day, 12 - 14 sets, 8-12 reps
6 days cardio a week, basically max intensity usually for 40 mins to 1 hr each

Cardio includes:
Runs up to and including 12kms
45 Min Spin classes. I dont hold back, i go nuts LOL
5km rows, intervals of 500m under 2mins each
cross trainer interval training for 45 mins
the occasional brisk walk for an hour if i'm tired

Interesting. Thanks.

Holy shit.. Quality cardio there dava! Conquered the walls yet? i'm guessing so.

Dava, your officially my weight, but i'm 5'9

And alot more bf on me!

but might i say that all the anti cortisol supps etc help make this cardio possible.

i dont necessarily advocate this high intensity approach. I know its counter intuitive to muscle preservation, but it works for me personally. i dare say it wouldn't for many others. I dont loose fat easily

How have you found the muscle loss? Much at all?

havent you been reading his threads,

dava,awesome job man,i must ask,how are you feeling mentally?

also,diet looks great,typical keto approach,hows strentgh feeling with it?

strength is surprising really good. For me its all in the timing of the pre workout meal and when to take the supps.
My strength has slowly increased over the time.

Mentally, thats a more complex question mate. in fact i was going to start a thread on it...... I'm really positive but definately obsessed. Unfortunately for me and my bodytype there is not other way.

The main problem isn't hunger or fatigue, its sleep, or lack thereof. It doesn't seem to affect my performance, infact i often do a better cardio session on 5 hrs sleep (which is strange) but waking constantly drives me crazy.

right, time for a separate thread on that,.....

magnificent effort, goes to show how many different ways there are to acheive ones goals.

do you think you would have got similar results using a lowfat moderate/low carb high protien diet?

Im not sure i could ever do a keto diet i would probably feel like im being too restricted, then again after being on a lowerish carb diet for a while the change wouldnt be too drastic.

Im interested to see how much muscle you would put on while trying to stay lean given your bodies current composition.

Diet is all in excel. Typical accountant

But outstanding job, you have definitely worked hard for exceptional results.

How long do you think you can maintain your current level of BF for? What level would you be happy to stay at long term?

i'd like to maintain 8 or 9% long term

Hey DIVA awesome job mate .....................

inspirational

as for how your feeling mentally,my main question was ment to be in regards to emotional or depression,are you getting these kind of symptons?

and have u been using same diet from start and simply skimming off it?

WOW!! Your body looks great
Congrats at achieving your goals.
