i've been cutting for for 4 weeks now and i've shed about 8 lbs.. i'm trying to get to single digit bf... i think i'm going to cut for 4-6 more weeks and after that.. i cant take it anymore... the first pic is at 188lbs in the morning.. the second is at 181 at night.. (wish i would have taken one in the mornin so i would have been leaner)

tell any difference or too soon? sorry for the different lighting

Lotta carbs for cuttin, ever think about switchin to a Ckd for a few weeks? I bet you'd shred right down ESP with ur body used to gettin all those slow carbs....

[youngandfree]

Keep it up. No need to change gameplans completely since doing well with carbs. I might suggest carb cycling. Do two days at 150. 2 at 100. 3 at 50g. Then do pizza night after 3 low carb days in a row.

[digitalducki]

Hence the suggested "CKD"

[youngandfree]

Carb cycling and CKD are not the same thing.

updated pics at 6 weeks.. only thing i've changed is i've taken off the apple in the morning and replaced it with 1/4 cup of egg whites.. and i've takin off 6 ounces of potatoe which turns out to be 45 g less carbs

[tumtum]

here i am.. i've lost a total of about 3 inches on my waist.. maybe 1/4 inch on my arms.. and about the same for my chest

[digitalducki]

Good work bro!

[wontstop985]

[purelife1]

good work

[meathed]

Good stuff man. Threads like these get my motivation mojo going. At least I'm not the only one wishing I had a quart of frozen custard and an XL meat lovers pizza! I think I just might turn into a chicken with fins. Then where'd I be? Keep it up man.

What are your plans after the cut?

[GoHardOrGoHme]

Amazing results so far

You look ripped there dude, how long did you bulk for to get to that weight inthe 1st pic and what weight did you start at?

thanks for the motivation fellas..

well i started at 135 at age 16.. at age 20 i was 185 or so and then i had a bad back injury from nerve damage that made me completely quit for 13 months. i dropped down to 155lbs while increasing my bf.. DAMN.. haha

it took me a year to get to about 185 and then from there i bulked to a fat 200, improperly cut to 180.. and then bulked to the 188 u see at the top..

complicated i know but i felt i needed to explain

What are your plans after the cut?

after the cut i plan to slowly introduce carbs back into my body (i've began carb cycling recently) and try to put on a somewhat slow 5 lbs.

after that i'm debating on either a hdrol or mdrol cycle..

for the record i've taken hdrol and havoc once but due to school and stress i only put on about 5 lbs TOTAL between them (wasted)

[GoHardOrGoHme]

i cant get over the progress u made dude

And that diet you have is spot on....i found myself hitting something up very similar to that during a recent cut and it worked very well for me save i ate far less carbs and about 4-5 meals plus 2 shakes.

The big difference is the amount of cardio u do and the split, i focus a lot on strength so i do cardio no more then 3 days a week and 2x a day. So im wondering how much overall strength you lose after such a strict cut?

[tumtum]

i actually haven't lost much strength at all.. initially i lost a little.. but the other day i still threw up 90lb db's on incline 9 times,,, and 95s 4 times... i used to get 100's 5 times... so not a huge difference seein how i've only began lifting as heavy as i can the last 3-4 weeks (shoulder)

i have lost a good bit of strength on incline barbell.. used to throw 225 up about 7 times (12 when i was at 203lbs) and now i'm hittin it about 4-5 times


i've changed up my diet a bit... last week i lowered the carbs to about 80 per day and this past week i've tried carb cycling.. which i need help on the diet if anyone can lend a helping hand.. here's the link to that thread last 3 weeks of diet.. HELP ME OUT

[Come AtMe Bro]

damn nice results, looks like no plateauing

[tumtum]

i had a couple weeks where i didn't drop a single pound.. but not many. i did plateau a week ago and started carb cycling. then left that for keto.... as of last night i'm officially in ketosis haha
