Great work! 

Hey Jon, just curious… What is your current BF? And, do you maintain that year round? If so, do you cycle macro splits or use a common macro split most of the time? I am still trying to work out the best macro split for me. I was doing an even 40c 20f 40p. But, after reading some and experimenting it seems like I should go higher with carbs. So, just curious is all. 

Nice definition 👌 

gettingcut- I’ve never had my BF checked. If I had to guess, I’m probably somewhere near 12, give or take a few. I also don’t worry too much about percentage macros. I’m more concerned with total calories because my macros will fall where they fall if I hit everything I aim for: At least 1g/protein per lb lean mass, minimal fats, rest in carbs. I pretty much stay in this condition year-round, except around holidays when I tend to get a little soft 🍪 🥧 🤤. I wouldn’t be too concerned with the fat / carb ratio but I find a higher carb diet really helps with intense workouts and are more filling in general. 

Super- Thanks man! I think I saw you mention it’s back awareness month. Just doing my part. 

gettingcut- I ate about 2550 calories yesterday C: 56% F: 19% P: 25% 

Yeozzzzers, Jon! You've been putting in the time. Well done! 👏 

Awesome look, man! 💪🏽 

Hey thanks, Jon! That helps a lot!  

Diablo- Thank you. You are an inspiration. I can only hope to one day look like you. 

Wisco- Yes, a lot of time indeed. I became real familiar with a pull-up bar. Especially during the time when gyms were closed.  

I see you and instantly think “Tarzan”. LOL All the dedicated weightlifters on here look fabulous… I admire you all! But to me, your physique looks healthier than the overally bulky muscular body type. You look super strong but agile at the same time. Just my preference and to each their own but I think you look fantastic!!!  

Flablessly- Thank you! Tarzan?? I’m flattered being compared to such a character. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to develop that kind of skill set though. 

Well you’re got the hair part down already for sure! 

Back is looking great! I'm sure you could get those lines to pop even more with better lighting. 👍 

TUD- Thank you! That was exactly my thought when I was looking at this picture 😱🤦‍♂️. I’ve never actually taken time to notice my back, let alone try and take a picture of it. I tried to keep repositioning to take different shots but my back started cramping so I settled for what I got lol. Of course the only one where I was in frame and properly posing had the worst lighting. It’s all about the lighting! 💡  

Flablessly- Haha. Now if only I could somehow get on the big screen 🤔 

Ha, thanks for that comment. At the same time, I'm trying to get your look! Maybe soon I'll have that Christmas tree again in the lower back. 

Diablo- Sir, you have so much muscle, I’m just in awe sometimes lol. Your muscles already look like they’re about to explode, I can only imagine what that would look like when you are even more peeled. 🤯🤯 

Thanks, Jon! I hope I can keep it up. Many times, I end up quitting and going back to bulking or maintaining because I do like the size and strength and superior workouts...
