For the past few months I’ve just been eating anything that I’ve wanted, loosely tracking calories and macros, but for the most part not really caring how much I ate – lots of ice cream, steak, ribs, fruit, pasta and the occasional Cinnabon.
Training has been whenever I’ve felt like it – sometimes 1x a week, but usually 2x with a couple of challenges throw in for fun. Simply put I’ve been maintaining my results with as little time as necessary, but today marks the the day that I finally get off my butt cheeks and decide to actually get moving towards my own personal Sexification goals for several reasons.
1. I’ll be speaking on a panel along with Fitocracy at PAX East in Boston on April 6th entitled Gaming and Fitness – A Surprisingly Awesome Marriage, so I want to come in looking as Sexified as I can.
2. Pursuing a solid physique goal helps keep me on track in other areas of my life as well.
3. I want to show you, live & in the flesh, that getting the body that you want doesn’t have to be difficult at all (and it can actually be more fun than a box of kittens playing with a box of puppies playing with a box of pandas).
4. It gives me a fun reason to keep myself accountable along with my awesome friend Sohee Lee on her own Sexification journey.
My goal is simple: to look and feel as great as I can over the next 12 weeks, with April 6th being a nice checkpoint.
At my current weight, I have about 30-35lbs to lose, and I’m giving myself 8-9 months to knock it all out in a leisurely manner.
Here is my diet breakdown, with the logic and how I accomplish to be the subject of an upcoming post:
Training Days
240g protein
75g fat
140g carbs
2195 calories
Off Days
240g protein
60g fat
40g carbs
1660 calories
This is on top of getting in an hour of activity that I love on off days (walking, hiking, dancing, practicing kung-fu moves, fighting along with Bruce Lee movies, etc).
Every Sunday I’ll be updating with pictures and talking about what I’m doing training wise, what I’m eating, my calorie intake and how I’m varying it and pretty much anything else that I think will be helpful.
More importantly, I’ll be covering what YOU want to know about the transformation process and how you can apply it to your own situation, so ask away in the comment section below!
Starting weight as of 2/18/2012: 210.4lbs
I am LOLing pretty damn hard at that one photo.
ROFLcopter!
Nice man. Looking forward to it. I’ll be good and won’t send you Cinnabon ice cream links over the next several weeks 😉
Can’t wait to see your sexification!

Ha! I didn’t include this in the first post, but I already have 3 Cinnabon ice cream pints waiting in my freezer. A diet without ice cream isn’t a diet I want to take part of.
Once you reach your desired level of sexiness, can I start calling you “Sexual Chocolate”?
Not only is this appreciated, it’s mandatory.
Wow, looks like I should be eating a LOT less cals if your cutting with those numbers :\
Lookin forward to your progress! Good luck!
Haha. I’m just of the “get in and get it over with” approach, so I’m willing to halt all strength gains for the sake of faster fat loss.
x2 on that
Currently on Lyle McD’s RFL program. I’m pretty sure you’ve used it before no?
Yep! It works very well. Depending on how sadistic I’m feeling, I may end up using it for a 2 week stint right at the end of this.
Ah, another instalment of the sexification files! I’m thinking this latest transformation will own your previous one, mightily successful as it was. Don’t let me down!
Do you have any training goals? Any movements you’re focusing on? The deadlift, perhaps?
Nope, no training goes at all. I’m just going to focus on going in the gym and making the best out of each session. Sexification is inevitable!
you are one swole cat. i can’t wait to see where your journey takes you.
What is your current height/weight if you don’t mind? You are funny as hell, good luck!
I try =)
I’m 6′ and sitting at 210.
Interesting…so we are generally in the same area, except you have much more pre-existing muscle than I do 😛
Eating lots of food and lifting heavy stuff without worrying too much about how you look (as long as you don’t become too far gone) will do that to ya!
You look pretty solid and lean now. I’m sure with the adjustments you will hit your goal well before your time estimate. 🙂
I sure do hope so. Then I get back to eating lots of food =D
Look atchyou go! You’re already killin’ it, but i’m looking forward to following your progress!
Good luck and I’m hoping you replicate that last picture in the coming weeks..
You can do eeeet!
I’d be interested to hear how you determined your calorie level and macro percentages for each of those days?
Thanks!
I’d like to hear about this as well Rog. Basically what your thought process was when setting yr cals. Thanks man.
Gotcha this Sunday, Michael!
I’ll cover that for you in this Sundays update best as I can without giving away part of what my clients hire me for – I gotta be respectful to them!
Totally get that.
This will be awesome, I for one am fascinated to see the original sexification in progress. Will be like watching the very moment Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor.
el oh el – you crack me up, man.
Hey Rog,
I’m on the same road but I’m only 163 pounds doing IF. 2500 on training days and 1700 non training days. I think I need to reassess my cals. will be checking in every Sunday.
Keep smilling cheers Mark
Don’t let what I’m doing determine what you should be doing – let your results be your shining light in the sea of darkness.
Yep, it just got deep around here.
You absolutely need to see if JC still has his sexy posing shorts and if he’ll let you borrow them. Would definitely ramp us the sexification meter on the reals!
Don’t you go trying to make this awkward!
Hey man you know i have been interested in what you are doing from way back when at good ole EMU. Keep it up and I will be checking in with you every weekend and maybe sometimes during the week too…
“Stay black my brotha” sorry didn’t know how to end this..
Where are you planning to drop those 30lbs from? You look pretty lean already, assuming those pictures are ‘before’ pictures?
Good luck anyway man. Love the blog.
From magical places, my man!
The long term goal is to get down to 180 (or at least a very, very lean look). At my weight of 210, I know that I at least need to get down to 190lbs, which puts me at 20lbs. We’ll take it on an “as it comes” basis.
Thanks for the props!
