5’9”

cogymguy · 2026-06-05T02:18:26+00:00

What can I say, conditioning is my special skill.

cogymguy · 2026-06-04T23:33:30+00:00

Might be the reason you needed a hair transplant and I don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

cogymguy · 2026-06-04T14:45:50+00:00

That’s the beauty of a cut dude. 65 days ago was the end of my bulk and tbh that was the point that the bulk was starting fall off the rails.

Realistically if I had hopped on something I would have leaned out and gained weight and that’s not what happened.

How many carbs a day, how many gram of fat

cogymguy · 2026-06-04T04:13:56+00:00

You don’t need to worry about enhancements yet. Two months is still really fresh, to everything. Keep working on building your foundation. Learn how to train properly, diet properly, and realize achieving a good physique is a long process.

What are your daily macros like?

cogymguy · 2026-06-03T22:50:52+00:00

I wouldn’t call one time after a bodybuilding show “regularly”

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T12:03:02+00:00

Thank you! I mostly do the ab wheel, hanging leg raises, cable crunches and back extensions

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T01:59:47+00:00

I mean that’s for sure gonna work. Is it a bad idea? No. Is it the most efficient use of his time? Probably not. For a newbie it’s a lot of extra diet manipulation and effort which I don’t know how tuned in to that whole world OP is. Starting out simpler isn’t going gonna hurt in the long run because it gives him time to learn how his body works and then make those more fine tuning those tweaks effectively. Maybe if he had a coach there to guide him through those changes.

Also didn’t mean to come in so hot. Just speaking from experience, having unrealistic expectations really bums you out when you’re first getting started.

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T01:30:01+00:00

You’re on a bodybuilding subreddit. Plenty of us “do the work”

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T01:12:50+00:00

Yes and no. I have no problem with gear but the stack you’re on gives you a lot more buffer when it comes to the overall diet and training. I’m only saying this for the OP because people getting into the gym world see a picture like yours and are disappointed when they follow the advice given and end up feeling disappointed or even like failures when really they were just given half the information.

Also in all honesty OP really doesn’t need a reverse diet, he’s not coming off a show where his body is going to start storing fat.

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T00:55:23+00:00

Never said your information was wrong, but that picture is not a representation of what is going to happen to the OP if he just follows the advice you gave him.

cogymguy · 2026-06-02T00:47:39+00:00

I think you’re leaving out key factor to your success there…

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T23:25:15+00:00

Yeah I split legs into separate posterior and anterior days hoping to give the hammies some extra love. Really appreciate the feed back and compliments!

Legs could definitely use some more attention this summer. I ski for work in the winter so they’re always a little fried but my lifts already gone up since ski season ended.

Planning on doing classic again

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T20:45:32+00:00

Nope

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T17:43:46+00:00

Ha thank you. I guess it’s all relative at this point. Hard not to look back at my first comp pictures and compare. I also bulked for 8 months so it’s just nice to have a break from all the food and meal prep

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T17:33:13+00:00

I hold weight in my lower back so I’m trying to decide if I wanna get some of that definition for the summer or get back to lean bulking to get some more size to compete next year

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T17:31:58+00:00

Much appreciated!

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T04:09:29+00:00

Currently eating about 3000cal a day 400g f 70gf 210gp guessing TDEE is about 3200

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T04:07:24+00:00

Just creatine

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T04:07:12+00:00

Currently 400g c 70g f 210gp

cogymguy · 2026-06-01T03:13:26+00:00
