Yesterday marked 3 weeks from when I started dieting and lifting serious again and luckily I thought to take a picture because after looking at a picture before and now I am really surprised how much I progressed in 3 weeks

Your lifting progress looks pretty solid still. Have you had a drop in body weight or are you trying to stay about the same weight and just improve total composition. In your picture you look pretty lean to begin with. I noticed you asked for a little diet advice, I wish I could help. I dropped 25lbs over the winter while doing the CarbNite diet, but I couldn't get my weight below 230, so I'm not really qualified to dole out advice on being ripped LoL! Just keep it up man.

I'm trying to put on a little bit of size while cutting the fat away it's hard to say if I've lost weight because It jumps all over but it looks like im leaning out. I have a few body builder friends so I borrowed some of there formats for cutting

it's actually going really well, go to the website "if it fits your macros" and type in your weight, height and all of that stuff and it will calculate your macros and than, just don't exceed the amount of calories fat carbs and you will get cut up

Sorry I haven't been logging this last week because instead of lifting I have been doing some tae kwon do classes and you can't really log that I guess but tomorrow I'll be back to regular lifting and hopefully setting a pr in shoulder press

Deadlifts look strong man. Is there a reason you are using straps though?...this is the GripBoard man! But anyways, Good luck with the Shoulder press PR.

Yeah I was using straps because my grip has weakened from not exercising it and I wanted to check what kind of numbers I could do for deadlift
