Well with 1850 cal. per day i'm impressed that you've got these muscles, since most people i see on CR appear to be giant 11 year olds. This is inspiring, since i didn't want to lose all my muscle mass with CR. My height is 76 inches (or 6'4'') and i weight 182 lb. I hope i get kinda like you after i start CR.
What was your weight before you started CR and how many calories did you consume?

You're lookin good, Oz. If I understand your diet percentages correctly, it seems pretty high on fruit and nuts. Do you eat any vegetables? How long have you been eating raw?

Nice to see that you maintained some muscle after CR'ing for a year. Good job!
It would be nice to see a picture of you before to put things in perspective.
If one were to add weight lifting I think even more muscle could be maintained on a CR regimen. This is reassuring.

That's pretty impressive. What does your exercise regime look like? How often do you exercise, and for how long each time?

This is you at about 5% body fat?
Posted 16 December 2009 - 04:32 AM
I'm curious... Is there a particular reason that you use both the Whey and the Pro Complex powders instead of all Pro Complex? And what ratio do you use of the 2?
Thanks

actually, by my crude calculations, this is me at 6%. I think I hit 5% at 168lbs (previous pics). but as was pointed out in another thread, body fat percentage calculations are all only approximations anyway. so who knows?

I think your calculations are wrong. You look like somewhere around 8 - 10%. By 8%, we should be seeing vascularity emerging around the lower abs, which appears to be happening in the above picture. Your abs are absent, however. By 6% the vascularity should very pronounced on the chest, arms, and shoulders. Abs should be clearly present. I am not seeing anything like that in the pictures you posted.

Perhaps, but I would expect to see more definition on your abdominal muscles if you are indeed at a lower bodyfat percentage, unless of course they are just very under developed, in which case you need to exercise a little more.I think your calculations are wrong. You look like somewhere around 8 - 10%. By 8%, we should be seeing vascularity emerging around the lower abs, which appears to be happening in the above picture. Your abs are absent, however.

You may be right on my numbers. I definitely see more vascularity in the pics you posted.
I just don't know how helpful it is to compare me to those pics. Here's why.
I am not a body builder by any stretch of the imagination. I do couple sets max of pull-ups, push ups, and bar dips daily. no weights. no abs.
I remember when I was weightlifting, I was more vascular even though i was fatter.
At 168lbs and below, my skin is very thin in places that typically have the most subcutaneous fat: thighs, belly, love handles, lower back, upper arms.
Also, if you notice in these pics, except where my guns are on display , I am not flexing.
I am keeping open the possibility that I am underestimating. Thanks for the post.
