tHE BRuTaL MaCHiNe VaYNEZ: Journey to AESTHETICzZzZz

I lost my brother when I was 18, and he was only 20. As I get older and wiser, I tend to try my very best to be a happy, healthy, loving person who spreads peace, love and joy always. Sometime we forget (myself included) this key in life. We're our greatest critics, and most times we're too hard on ourselves. Most people will never understand what we do, but try to find a balance with it all.

The buddy I lost is about the only person I've lost that was close in age and man really made me take a step back and look at things.
Since last Thursday I've changed a few things and I plan to keep changing to make everyday I have the best it can be.

So I'm finally back from my vacation, measured body fat today with a machine, turns out I'm 18.8% !!!!!

I just took these pics in a hurry, cuz I'm kinda late for work (catching up with the routine of life)

Does this look like 18.8% body fat??? And should I run ECA stack next week or wait till I'm lower then 16% ???

Please advise guys! Thanks!

I don't really see 18.8% bf. I say just get back to the gym, kill it for a couple weeks and you'll be back in no time at all. Just relax, you just need to ease your way back in now.

Yeah I rly think that ''high teq'' machne could not have been accurate...

I'm running a cycle in 8 weeks, so wanted to lean out before the cycle (mechabol, Androbulk, androhard). I'm debating whether to run ECA next week or in 2 weeks. Diet is back on!!

I'd hold off for 2 weeks so your body gets back to its regular routine then hit the ECA.

Are you still CNS or something different.

Don't see how your 18.8% either and your probably just holding some water.

I'm used to be an instrumentation specialist in another life that specialized in machines that measured various things. I can tell you that your machine is wrong by your picture. However, it's important to know that machines have a margin of error which maybe greater than the advertised spec. Additionally, machines and even really measurement itself is affected by different variables like moisture, heat, conductivity, etc.

Anyway don't sweat the numbers.

Thanks guys, I'll probably start next week or a week after depending on how my body feels. Gotta get as much fat off as I can before my bulk cycle. I've increased protein a bit and lowered fat slightly. CarbNites will be twice a week

Glad your doing 2 a week.
I've been doing CBL and eating these!!!

Banana stuffed pancakes in Kerrygold butter.

Sorry was kinda busy yesterday, had so many emails to take care of at the office... man.. I need a vacation from my vacation!!!!
Thanks for pointing that out dude. When I measured my bf% I just had a post workout shake with about a TBSP of Coconut oil and I was sweating like crazy... so perhaps that also had to do with it. I've been sweating 24/7 since I got back from my vacation, these 3 days... Either the diet, or the workouts, or Aruba is just sick hot!

In the states I avoided carbs in the morning. Ate a LOT of carbs in the evening though. But some days I went ULC. My weight however went down to 177 from the usual 180-182 pound before the vacation! And it's ironic, I feel leaner..... I dunno, I guess I'm just gonna fall back into the routine and see what happens. I upped protein a bit, lowered fat a bit... and will Refeed Friday. I'll be refeeding every Monday and Friday... trying to keep it around 8 hours pre-bedtime window on Mondays and 6 hours pre-bedtime window on Friday. Thanks for the picture haha it's inspiring!

I drank Kombucha in Miami... man it tasted so good!

Got a chance to take another shot today in less of a rush, right after my boxing work out.

Now honestly, I don't think I'm 18% bf! LOL (stupid machine raised my cortisol levels for nothing)

I'll start my ECA stack This Monday, perhaps just 2 dose the first few days, see how it feels, before I go with the standard 3x a day dose
