Let me see if I grasp this... if I'm starting the cut at 175 pounds, I should consume 350g of protein each day to lose weight? What strange dimension was I living in all those other times I lost weight?

I'm miserable and lethargic regardless of how I eat, because I don't sleep. I've tried many different diets over the years with different ratios of carbs/protein/fats, some even based on recommendations from members of this site. The best I ever felt was on a diet similar to what I posted above, only in larger portions and with protein shakes before and after workouts. I was training for strength at the time and progress came faster than with any previous diet; my physique improved and I got stronger. Before my accident this spring, I was in the best shape I'd been in since high school.

Now I want to get small. Makes sense to try something similar, only with fewer calories. Include a few juice beverages to my list and my calorie intake won't be as small as you're assuming, anyway.

Thanks. Nothing I haven't already read, though.

Hahahaha...no you were skinny with little fat. Decent muscle mass would be 5'11 at 200 with 10% BF.

In order to bench 300, you need to put 2X45 plus 1X25 plus 1X10 plus 1X2.5 (on each side).
So your telling me that you just magically went to 300 and not 295 or 315? Do you even have 2.5lbs weights?

Eh...probably not. He's eating fruit, remember (which really makes no sense because fruits rise insulin levels). If he was no carb, then he'd have to worry about ketosis over a long period of time (like 4 days) in which he would have to carb up.

Are 2.5 pound plates hard to come by in California? West coast juicers don't bother moving up in 5-pound increments, I suppose. My college gym and my friend's Olympic weight set both have 2.5 pound plates. I even have 2.5 pounders for my standard set at home.

I was surprised when I did it, too. I never try to max out with weight in the gym, so I didn't know what to expect when I finally tried at a friend's house. It was more than I ever did in high school, and I was much bigger back then.

300 is a weight you work up to, not a weight you just thow on the bar and "I was surprised when I did it". Most of the time when someone posts this, it just smells of b.s. Most guys are not going to fuck around with 2.5lbs. And yes of course the gyms I go to have 2.5lb weights.

I worked up to it that afternoon. At the time I was doing sets of 20 reps with 185 in the gym. My friend had 225 on the bar and we went from there.

I feel better doing a lot of reps with heavy (but not max) weight, rather than burning myself out in a few reps with as much weight as I can handle. I got pretty puffed up in high school training that way, but I feel like I'm accomplishing more with reps over weight (and there seems to be little to no strength disadvantage).

Before butthurt replies of "but that's not right!" come pouring in, let's remember that I am not (and have never been, and never intend to become) a bodybuilder or competitive power lifter...
