Fat loss showdown - hrdgain81 vs Jeff1899 - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Personal Journals

hrdgain81 · 07-16-2008, 04:46 PM

For the last few months, one of my best friends (jeff1899) and I have had an ongoing discussion about fat loss. We fundamentally disagree as to the best way to go about dropping adipose tissue. Out of this, we have devised the perfect way to both motivate each other, and prove who is right.

Enter the fat loss showdown

The rules are simple, we will each outline our diets here, record our weight and measurements, and update them as we go. The start date will be this coming monday July 21st, and we will go for 8 weeks and have final judging Sept 16th.

Sept 16th I will post a poll in the open conversation forum to judge the winner. If the numbers are too close to call, we will be taking before and after pics to use as a tie breaker.

At stake is of course bragging rights, and more importantly $100 bucks. So please welcome Jeff to the site, and wish him luck, he is dam sure gonna need it to beat me!

Love it!!! A journal showdown... are you guys going to do the news paper date proof in the pics? and are we judging it based on BF% or just weight?

Ross86 · 07-16-2008, 06:44 PM

I'm stoked! Can't wait to see this.

good stuff man.....

i'm a little biased....i hope you win.

HSfootball16 · 07-16-2008, 06:45 PM

i think bf% would be way better because you can loose a lot of weight in muscle if your doing it wrong

That sounds interesting. Could you just give us a brief summary of your philosophy. I start my slow cut this friday, it could be useful.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
