The Things Cutting Log

[Thing2594]

Hey guys,this is my first post. Ive had the app to this forum on my iPhone for a while but finally felt the need to post! Needless to say I have learned quite a bit from creeping around on here . Tomorrow I'm starting my diet after 2 long weeks off of training. I've been bulking since early December and since then I've gone from 190 at 24% bf to 220 at 26% bf. I'm super stoked to be starting my new diet a friend of mine helped me with and getting as lean as I possibly can. For those wondering I have a few things wrong with me lol. Gyno from puberty,a sciatic nerve that acts up whenever it feels like,and upper back pain. Anyways... Enough with my rambling!
Meal plan:
Meal 1:46 g whey,1 cp oats
Meal 2:8 oz chicken,1 cp rice
Meal 3:8 oz chicken,6 oz yam
Meal 4:8 oz chicken,1/2 cp rice
Meal 5:46 g whey
Meal 6:8 oz tilapia
Split:
Day 1:Chest/calves
Day 2:Legs/abs
Day 3:Arms
Day 4:Rest

Sounds like the bulk phase worked well for ya so I'm sure the cut one will as well. The 30 pound gain with only 2% bf that's great. I'll be watching your log

 

[Thing2594]

Thanks man! I was eating literally EVERYTHING I could find!
My diet sucked pretty bad though lol.
Meal 1: 2 microwavable pizzas
Meal 2: whole package of whole grain pasta,12 oz chicken breast,2 tbs pb
Meal 3: 3 cps brown rice, 12 oz steak,1 tbs olive oil
Meal 4: 2 triple cheese burgers w/ fries or as much sushi as I can eat!
Meal 5: 46 g whey,1 cp oats,1/2 cp sugar,banana,2tbs pb

 

[fsu1fan]

I'd day you was eating anything u could find but still not totally bad..I'm just getting into the whole nutrition part of working out. I've always just lifted an the way my job is I had to eat whatever but now I'm really trying so watching your blog will help me I think

 

[Thing2594]

Lol I got into nutrition a few months before I started lifting. I'm studying to be a nutritionist atm. I love helping people. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

 

[Thing2594]

Changed split for the week as I get bored easily if the split stays the same. I may stick to this one for 2-3 weeks as I've enjoyed this split before.
Day 1: Delts/abs
Day 2: Arms/calves
Day 3: Legs
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Chest/abs
Day 6: Back/calves
Day 7: Rest

 

[fsu1fan]

Thanks for the help if I need it. I'm really just eating protein and a good carb every 2-3 hours. My days change every week as I work two evenings two midnights and one dayshift so being on anything set Is really hard. I also get bored with the same workout but I'm trying the fst-7 an it's working pretty good I'm in my 2nd week though so it may change

 

[Thing2594]

Any time bro. I tried fst-7 a while back. Worked ok but I ended up tearing my forearm and now my right arm twitches on the negative when I curl :/. Ive hated arm day ever since. Personally I've had better results with regular shock training(sets of 100+ reps).

 

[fsu1fan]

100 reps!! The 15-20 on fst-7 kills me. Lol, I'll try it a few more weeks then move on to something new.I'm always looking for something new every day so I can change it up month to month or every two months depends on how it feels after a few weeks.

 

[Thing2594]

Heres a leg w/o I used with the set of 100. Found it in one of my folders on my laptop I loved this workout like a child!
1a Squat 4x8-12
1b Bw squat 4x20-25

2a Front squat 4x8-12
2b Leg ext 4x25-30

3a Db lunges 4x8-12
3b Standing ham curl 4x8-12

4a Rdl 4x8-12
4b 1 leg bw Deadlifts 4x20-25

5 Leg press 1x100
I'd use 300-400lbs depending on how I feel but the trick I'd use is to stop every time I reach failure for 10 secs.

 

[fsu1fan]

I may try that tomorrow cause it's leg day, thanks for sharing. I'll prolly be dead and not able to walk Wednesday

 

[Thing2594]

Lol you just might throw up too. But if your up for it you'll enjoy it for sure.
Delts and abs have been trashed.
1: Db Snatch 5x6
2A: Db Side raises4x8
2B: Db Front raises4x8
3 Upright row4x12
4A: Rear delt fly4x15
4B: Face pulls4x15
then did something super untraditional for abs... I used th Shoulder girdle blast by Scott Abel(probably one of the best coaches ever) it basically uses swinging movements. I felt it literally everywhere. Shoulders were on fire. Glutes shot. Back died. Abs were pumped like a mofo. Most importantly I did my cardio without any cardio machines today .
1 arm clean and pressx5
1 arm front db swingx5
lateral throws from floorx5
heavy bent over lateralsx5
repeated circuit 3 times. Over the weeks I will progress to 5 sets. For now... I'm covered in sweat and can't breath... good night.

 

[fsu1fan]

Been off work a couple days haven't checked in. I got to 55 and quit lol

 

[Thing2594]

Lmao you werent suppose to quit!

 

[fsu1fan]

I'm half I did cause now it's Friday and my legs are still sore I can barely sit on anything!!!! Haven't been like this in a while. Now just waiting for the Arnold, me and some buds are going up, u ever been?

 

[Thing2594]

Weighed in at 216.2lbs today so no changes in my diet. Still no cardio and I'm planning on going as long as I can without doing any cardio. Lmao yehhh I go a while without walking after I do legs. Good thing I have a dungeon in my garage . No sadly I haven't been. I might be going to the arnolds next year though.

 

[fsu1fan]

I found that a mile jog three times a week helps keep fat at bay while gaining mass. I've been to arnolds twice and u pay $15 to get in and u walk out with around $300 worth of supplement samples and t-shirts plus see alot of the big name bodybuilders!!

 

[Thing2594]

Lol I remember when I wasn't too lazy to do cardio. I'd jog 4 miles every morning. Now I don't even think about cardio. I go as far as I can through my cutting phase with just weights/diet then I add a few weighted circuits a week after my workouts. I played around with a few this week just for fun but I'm not keeping them in. Weight down to 208.5. Shoulders and chest are looking a bit fuller but that's most likely due to the fatloss.
