Why torture yourself with intermittent fasting? (which is only good if you’re not an active person). Plan ahead and eat the RIGHT amount of food. Stop being lazy and go make breakfast. #mealprep #fuel #cutting #weightlifting #powerlifting #bodybuilding #strongman #crossfit #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #fit #gym #fitness #gymlife #fitfam #gymrat #rpdiet @rpstrength

In the beginning of quarantine I weighed 200lbs. I had no intentions of doing any sort of diet or had any plan. But after a few months I had lost 10lbs. I was exercising everyday (lifting or cycling or running) and eating less overall (stress). In September I decided to make a specific effort to get leaner. I was at 190lbs and had never done a macro specific diet. It was hard at first but I got used to it. And I keep training and exercising. And the weight kept coming... off. Today I weighed in at 180.8lbs. So 20lbs lighter. I’m still hitting all my lifts at the gym and my cycling has never been better. In the end finding the physique I wanted was all diet. Honestly I don’t even train that hard. I just don’t take any days off. Thanks to @mighty.mike and @rpstrength for giving me tools to get where I’m going. Age has nothing to do with it. It’s just when you’re older you’re better at telling yourself you can’t do it. #bodybuilding #powerlifting #strongman #weighlifting #crossfit #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #fit #gym #fitness #gymrat #fitfam #gymlife #transformation See more

I don’t take many progress pictures to display aesthetics. And honestly it’s because I haven’t felt lean enough to do it in a long time. Last October I decided to start a slow cut. I lowered my carb intake and overall daily calories. In this photo I’m at 199lbs. I haven’t been under 200lbs in about 4-5 years. As I’ve gotten older my fitness priorities have shifted. I still train hard, but I’m stricter about food than I am about how hard I train. And ironically this ...is the best I’ve looked since I was 31. Aesthetics are where most people fail at the gym, and they fail because they train hard but eat like shit. If you want to be big but not lean, then you better be fucking strong. Because otherwise you’re just fat. Know your priorities and train accordingly. #bodybuilding #powerlifting #strongman #weightlifting #crossfit #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #progress #cut #diet #sunsoutgunsout #fit #gym #fitness #gymlife #fitfam #gymrat @worldgymsf See more

@stephbull13 continues to make progress with her weightlifting. She’s put over 30lbs on her clean and jerk in just a few weeks with the addition of 1 on 1 training. Today she worked up to 100lbs of a power clean + hang squat clean + split jerk. Keep it up Steph! #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #girlswholift #weightlifting #crossfit #powerlifting #bodybuilding #strongman #fit #gym #fitness #gymlife #fitfam #gymrat
