Rate my 4 months cut, lost 20 lbs.

[cheekygains]

This was my first cut. Carb cycled for 4 months and changed up macros/routine every month.

 

[cheekygains]

Forgot to mention during the cut I only had protein isolate and creatine as supplements throughout the 4 months. For those who are interested.

It's amazing how much bigger someone appears when they are lean.

10 more pounds of muscle and you'd be shredded man.

Thanks brah. I haven't been this light in a long time. Best part is that I look better being lighter than I did when I was 180+ lbs. My goal is to get back up to 180 lbs and maintain the same body fat. Gonna bulk for the rest of the year.

Ty brah. During the cut I was carb cycling so it was a range of 1900-2300 calories. My macros on a regular day consisted of 55g fats, 200g carbs, 250g protein.

thanks brah. I would workout abs twice a week upper/lower and another day doing obliques. Focus more on nutrition tho, that was the huge difference maker to my results.

Yeah my ab workouts would take like 10 minutes, really quick. You don't need to focus on them, it's all about lowering your bodyfat through decreasing the carbs/calories etc.. I still like to work them out because I feel it helps my lower abs which are the hardest to tone down/make visable. I see some people going crazy working out abs which is more or less pointless.

How much cardio were you putting in a week? Great results bye the way!

 

[cheekygains]

Thanks and during this time I was doing 2 sessions of HIIT a week. If I got tired of doing that, I would run for 20-30 mins outside then return to HIIT the following week. Now that I am bulking and having roughly 3300 calories a day I'm not doing any cardio.

Nice work especially on just being on protein and creatine
