I'm not trying to be negative but you are not carrying alot of muscle there. I would also like to see your legs because most of the time big legs comes with heavy lifting & high calories which usually will make the waist a little bigger.

I see your point. I'm not hiding them its just no relevant to this thread about decreasing waistline only. To be honest I only hit my legs about 4x in the last 16 weeks. If you read my other post I talk about tearing my groin muscle on this diet, another reason why I did so much pool work. Also I'm not a bodybuilder so being "big" is not a goal, my other thread in the picture forums talks about my new goal of losing about 15lbs of muscle to increase speed/endurance. This is the same reason why I said I wouldn't recommend my dieting techniques like Intermediate fasting to bodybuilders. My legs are never used in shoots so I didn't make them much of a focus, here is a pic from the same time frame though with my phone:

Dave you still carry a good amount of muscle none the less and it shows. I know what your trying to do and good luck. Me personally I would say stay about where your at. Good luck

Martin Berkhan posts over at Lyle McDonald's board, monkeyisland/bodyrecomposition. He is a wealth of information. There are many more dieters who have been successful with this type of approach. Lyle has a book on it as well.

Dave, you look absolutely tight bro. Great job!

Huge props from me, bro. Excellent physique. I think if a lot of guys were truthful with themselves they would take your look over Markus Ruhl's anyday.

thanks for compliments guys, I appreciate it. I'll post up pics of how I look when I reach my new goal physique which is a smaller version of myself now.
