I'm 5 days in, and it's going really well!!! I had to do my workout this morning, as I have my evening plans full. I get my diploma from college. I'll be a CCNP certified network technologist

Now for the gym! I feel like I lost a lot of bloat from all the food I was eating. I feel lighter, and better. The hunger is really intense, but it is slowly going down..

Traininf is intense, and Michael decided to make me train 6 x a week, and cardio 5 x a week for 30 mins. The reps ranges are a lot higher, and I'm going more for the burn than the pump. I feel leaner, and I didn't cut the carbs, I still use a 50-30-20 macro, and I am full of energy!

Here's another quick update!! I am feeling like I am leaning down nicwely, even if it's only been 9 days! I lost a lot of bloat around my waist, and my jeans are way too lose right now. So gotta get some smaller ones!

The diet has been 100% so far. I also decided to cut down on the diet sodas completely. No more diet pepsi, diet root beer for the next 5 months!! I've been able to keep up so far. I sip on my ICE all day long and that satisfies my sweet cravings

I don't usually hand out compliments but your chest and back in particular are looking good and symmetry is great. Look forward to seeing the end result of the cut.

ALLRIGHT!

I got my tho Drives yesterday, and got my X Factor in the mail today!

I am starting them today, I am well equipped for a painfull journey!!!!!

Training is going great. I can't complain. It is intense, and fun. Cardio is making me sweat big time, and I just can't wait to see what 1 month from here will be! I have nothing else to report, but soreness right now from the intense training, and I also have a final exam tuesday, so wish me luck!

Allright, I am adding some TOCO 8!

Generosity of PP (Eric)! Thanks very much for this help in my supplement needs. I really hope this will help me a little bit

So to summarize, I am using the following:

Multivitamin
TOCO 8
DRIVE
SWELL
X Factor (You probably knew this already

)

I have had a few diet energy drinks yesterday and today due to my exam that is tonight. I am pretty nervous and hope I'll do well. I have been sipping on ICE regularly.

I feel like I shrink big time. I am 193 now

I feel terribly small, but this is the worst part of the cut. After this, the details will start to show up!!!!

I am starting to see some really nice improvements in my body fat. Abs show more, my arms look bigger, since the fat around them is going away, the gap between the peak and the lower part seems bigger.

I'm 192 now. I really can't wait to see if X Factor will give me more weight during this cut. I have heard a lot of people actually gained weight with it on a cut. I will see if it will. I started the X at 193, and 34.5" hips. If I can be 194 with a 32" hip measurement at the end of the cycle, I will jump and dance. That would in theory mean that I gained 11 lbs during my cut! (Assuming that 1" = 5 lbs of fat)

It has kicked in and I can't wait to see this. I am hungry as hell. I am sitting here, waiting for the clock to tell me it's time to eat!!!! This is the only thing i hate about X Factor on a cut. Your motivation has to be 10x higher to succeed, because it makes you so hungry! But it will be well worth it!

I might post pics tonight if time permits!

WOW!! X Factor has kicked in now! I can really notice hardness when I woke up this morning. DOMS are not too bad so far, but it hasn't been 25 days yet... This will be insane. The DRIVE is making me sweat BIG TIME. The X Factor is making me hard (my muscles that is), and hungry!!!!! I decided just to take pics in 5 days, so you'll get a preview every month of my progress

CHEERS!!!
