Both Michael and Vincent are on identical targets from 7 June 2026. Shared dinners are cooked for 4 servings (2 dinner + 2 next-day lunch). Protein is the priority macro — protect it before anything else.
📷
Progress photos, not scales. Take a front, side, and back photo each Sunday in the same lighting and clothing. Use the photos to assess belly fat reduction and muscle definition over time. No scale or tape measure needed — visual change is the metric.

Health Notes & Constraints
Lower back — lumbar spine ⌄

MRI Aug 2023: facet joint arthropathy, mild-to-moderate foraminal stenosis L4/5 and L5/S1, Bertolotti joint.

  • Avoid heavy axial loading (loaded carries, heavy barbell overhead)
  • Romanian deadlift in programme — keep form strict, hinge from hips
  • Watch for radiating leg pain or numbness
  • Reducing body weight directly reduces spinal load — the cut itself helps
Bone density — osteopenia ⌄

DXA scan Oct 2021: lumbar T-score -1.1 (osteopenia). Hip density normal.

  • Fat floor at 55g supports vitamin D absorption and bone health
  • Vitamin D3 supplement 1,000 IU daily
  • Resistance training directly improves bone density
Age considerations (~50) ⌄
FactorImpactMitigation
Lower BMR~5% lower than at 40Deficit already accounts for this
Harder muscle retentionRisk higher in a deficitHigh protein (185g) + resistance training
Slower recoveryMore soreness between sessionsActive recovery days, sleep, protein timing
Testosterone sensitivityDrops with aggressive restrictionFat floor at 55g, moderate deficit
Alcohol & social occasions ⌄
  • Budget ~150–250 kcal per drink against that day’s total
  • Reduce carbs on that day to compensate
  • Final 2 weeks: minimise alcohol — reduces water retention, improves visible definition
