Alright, I figured that this thread would be a way for me to keep up consistency with my diet these next 6 weeks. I've been cutting for about 3 weeks already, down to 175 from about 180.
I'm going to post my plan that I posted in another thread, but it explains pretty much everything I'm doing. **Accept I will be adding Leviathan Reloaded and DCP when they arrive this week.**
I just weighed in on my scale, which also is supposed to measure bodyfat. My weight was 175 exactly with 12.1% BF. Here are pictures I took just before this measurement...
*****Oh and don't mind the lounge pants,
After I get down to 6-7%bf, I want to maintain this % and gain muscle slowly, to about 175-180 lbs. This would be my ideal lean weight for what I do and what I want to look like I hope.
I'll try to keep my diet posted,(the best I can), but progress will definitely be consistently posted. The last time I tried, I think my one rep max bench was about 245, squats I'm not sure on, but I've done 300 8 times before lol.(Not too big on squats, usually do weighted lunges, recently started deadlifts, a lot of box jumps, etc)
Any questions or comments are welcome! :welcome:

Okay so just in case so no one stops right here to flame me for cutting at a low bodyweight, I'm trying to get around 7%bf for tricking, which is a hobby of mine, sort of like gymnastics, just flipping and stuff, mostly to impress people. Plus this is my first year of college so being lean for the ladies before trying to gain again is my major concern .
My schedule usually works out something like this:
8:30- Wake up, drink a cup of black coffee, stretch and go for a jog around campus, maybe with some HIIT thrown in.----*****I have been slacking a bit though on the cardio****
9:15- Make breakfast: Varies, but usually 500 calories, something like 1 cup oatmeal w/ cinnamon, 1/2 cup natural yogurt with strawberries, 3-4 eggwhites, and a few nuts or pb on a piece of whole wheat toast.
Also taken w/ a multivitamin, 1.5g fish oil, and 1g arginine.
12-12:30- Varies, usually 300-350 calories, w/ 30 grams from a lean protein source. Sometimes half of a turkey sandwhich on whole wheat.
3-3:30- Varies(everything varies since I'm in college it's hard to make a set amount of food everyday) usually 300-350 calories, sometimes 1/2 cup of brown rice, chicken, or tofu, or turkey, and a salad. Take another gram of arginine.
4:45-5:15- Workout-
Monday-Shoulders,
Tuesday-bis and tris, and forearms
Wensday-Legs
Thursday-Back
Friday-Chest
Each workout is high weight usually with a 12-10-8 or 15-12-10-8 sets for each workout, each with 4 second negatives, resting between 30-1:30 between sets. I also stretch down after each session, with static stretches.
6:15-6:30-Post workout shake: Usually a scoop of On Whey Extreme Milk Chocolate with a cup of milk, and 5g of glutamine, followed by 3 cups of water. Sometimes have a yogurt or a half a banana as well.
7:30-8:00- I try to get around 300-350 calories here too, with a lean protein source, lots of mixed vegetables, and sometimes starchy
carbs.
11:00- another 200-300 Calories, sometimes just protein in milk, or tuna, I just try to get a lot of protein in. I usually limit slow burning carbs to post workout out or after about 5 if not.
Pre bed- Another 200-300 calories, either canned tuna with low fat mayo, and a bit of natty pb, or maybe cottage cheese(usually not, I only use it because its good before bed, I get sick of the taste) and pb.
I take another gram of arginine and a lot of water.
I drink around 2-3 gallons of water a day to stay hydrated. My calories intake may give or take about 200 calories every day.
I don't do cardio on weekends, but I have a pretty active lifestyle regardless of training. I also cycle creatine, but I'm currently off.
