@BerbarianWizard @PGC1a_RB Brother we need the guide on how to achieve amazing skin. Too many of us struggle with bumpy rough skin











Weight loss / cut update: I apologize for the length of this post. It was actually longer but I removed a ton of content in compounds I used, supplements etc. Also, this is just the beginning. I have more fat to cut to hit my goal of 10% or less body fat and then my first bulk. If you want to follow along, feel free to click follow. Be warned though, I write stream of consciousness and say a lot of dumb stuff 😂 Start date: 9/29/2025 Weight: Starting weight: 279.6lbs Current weight: 235.6lbs Visceral fat loss: 2.4lbs > 0.6lbs Weight loss: 44lbs Measurements in inches: Bicep R 14.25 > 14 Bicep L 14.25 > 14 Chest 49.5 > 47.25 Shoulders 56.5 > 53.5 Mid thigh R 26 > 25.75 Mid thigh L 26.25 > 25.5 Waist (belly button) 40.25 > 36.25 Hips 45 > 42.25 Calf R 16.25 > 16 Calf L 16 > 16 🚨I have a ton of work to do. Biceps are weigh too small and in my opinion, so is my chest. Well else do I need to bring up? Roast me! Photos were no pump and I have 0 insight into how to pose 😂 Qualitative: Overall, I feel amazing! More energy, more motivation, significantly better mood. I am a better father, husband, friend etc. The only place I would say has been a net negative is Atlas the employee. And that's simply because I have become a bit more disagreeable. I didn't want to put up with corporate bullshit anymore. I push back now where I used to roll over, etc. This has not been a net negative for my career however. I finished #1 of 30+ leaders in my company last year so performance has increased. Sexual health has improved significantly in my opinion and in Mrs. Atlas' opinion. She is significantly more attracted to me. She will say she loved me just the same at 279 as she does today because she is a good woman but her "behavior" is quite different. Programming: Candidly, my programming hasn't been great, a buddy and I basically make things up as we go in his garage gym. We typically will hit about 16 working sets per session and push each set to failure. Intensity is there, structure less so. Monday - Chest and Biceps Tuesday - Back and Triceps Wednesday - Shoulders Thursday - Legs Friday - Arms (We often miss this unfortunately) No log book 😬 I also train BJJ 3 days per week at 5am and do 45 minutes of cardio on non BJJ days. Diet: I track everything I eat using MacroFactor current macros: 2700 calories 200g protein 30g fat 407g carbs I eat a ton of Greek yogurt, orange juice, chicken, rice etc. Carbs are timed first thing in the morning after fasted cardio and peri-workout. Final thoughts: While I'm happy with the results so far, there were a lot of mistakes made: 1 - My lifting has certainly not been optimal. More so it has been good enough. I will have to dial this in significantly during my growth phase. 2 - While I have tracked my macros and been on point 90% of the time. I have been following mostly If It Fits Your Macros. Meaning I haven't focused enough on whole foods. To finish this cut successfully, I will have to really focus on cooking my own food and try to get more protein from whole foods. 3 - Not discussed above but I did go to maintenance calories from Mid January to March in prep for a BJJ tournament. That slowed progress but I won gold 🥇 so, worth it. 4 - Bloodwork: I'll do a deep dive on my bloodwork when I do the final post from this cut. I don't have the time right now to compile it all but have done bloods 3 times during this cut and will likely have 1 more at the end. 5 - Fitness X is awesome, thank you for all of the positivity and education!








At walking pace, your muscles oxidize a higher percentage of fat as fuel. Romijn 1993 and Achten 2002 confirmed this with stable isotope tracers and indirect calorimetry. The percentage is real. But "% of fuel from fat right now" and "body fat lost over weeks" are different measurements. Melanson 2009 demonstrated this directly. Subjects cycling for 1 hour at 55% VO₂max increased fat oxidation acutely. When energy balance was maintained, 24-hour fat oxidation didn't differ between exercise and rest days. The acute substrate shift didn't translate to greater fat loss. Body fat change tracks total caloric balance over weeks. Protein intake matters significantly. Exercise modality has small effects. Fuel mix within a single workout is negligible for body fat once caloric balance is accounted for. Walking is great exercise. The "fat-burning zone" reading of why is the part that's wrong.
