Mine is usually neater, but I had to adjust on the fly.

Note
Using the Parillo equation (nine site skin fold) my bodyfat is 11.7%. I call BS.
Equation is % Body Fat = (Sum of 9 sites x 27) divided by bodyweight (lbs)
where sum of skinfold sites is in mm, body weight in lbs.
Using the Jackson Pollock equation I get eight per cent. I call even greater BS.
Equation is % Body Fat = (0.29288 x sum of skinfolds) – (0.0005 x square of the sum of skinfolds) + (0.15845 x age) – 5.76377, where the skinfold sites (measured in mm) are abdominal, triceps, thigh and suprailiac

Thanks 
final push I think, another couple of months and phase one should be about over.
You’re working on getting stronger though, I’ve been focusing on losing fat. I have NO idea where my peaked strength is beyond lower on bench. Seven weeks and I’ll start finding out.

Why? You look quite lean in those photos.
@magick at 11% I’d expect to look relaxed like I do flexed right now in terms of separation. Plus, I would have thought that at 11% I’d have minimal lower back fat deposits as opposed to an inch or so. Plus there’s minimal vascularity apart from my forearms.

It would appear my Plazma bottle has gone walkabout. I got home yesterday and realised I didn’t have it. When I thought back I don’t remember carrying it out of the gym, but it wasn’t there. Not impressed.
How do you get biotest products in aus? I thought they only shipped in the us or something
They only ship free to the first 48, but ship out here just fine. Plus I’ve got a US postal address though Australia Post.

Woke at 188.3 lbs. Expected this, almost certain it’s water retention due to higher salt in my food yesterday. Looking the same.

This sounds right to me. Eyes are the best (and probably worst) measuring tools of BF%.
BF% is just a number though and all that matters is that you cut until you are happy.

You’re not wrong. A measurement is helpful for determining other parts of the process, but numbers mean nothing if you don’t like what you see.

Woke at 186.6 lbs. Cool. Looking good, no puff or bloat anywhere.

Common sense took hold - eventually - and I got some whey concentrate to boost my protein to 200 grams per day. It’s the lowest calorie way I can do that. The carb timing I’ll play with later if I have to. Makes no sense to spend money and time talking to a dude who knows more about this than I if I’m going to ignore advice that’s easy to implement.

Pretty much.
Also is having to actually worry about anything other than macros something that happens with age, that I will have to eventually deal with myself, or is it just a person to person thing? I am not ready for the horrors of having to think about anything other than lifting the weight. lol

Maybe. If you used to be a fat fuck like myself definitely.
