Hello all, I'll be starting on the FLA guys cutting plan on the 17th July - so here's my little log. Excuse the spelling, I'm well knackerd!...
Background:
Weight has been up and down since I was a kid, waist ranging from 30-40 inches. Last few years I've got into training and have been steady at around 30inch waist and in very good cardiovascular shape. Loosing fat hasn't been a problem for me, but I tended to loose too much muscle whilst doing it.
My biggest problem is that I am a sucker for advertising. Despite clearly being well under my genetic potential in terms of muscle mass, I have ran cycles of superdrol, trn, e..max - those are all at the back of the cupboard now (I'd throw them away if they wern't so expensive!), and any supplements for the forseeable future will be nutural.
Recent Supplemet/Diet History:
Been taking Melting Point (4 weeks) and cAMP (8 weeks), will be stopping all supplements at the start of this plan, bar the ones Bobo has set out (multivits and the like - nothing 'special'). Diet has been around maintenance and relying on training to make the calorie defecit. Currently looking soft and rubbish - hopefully as a result of the TTA/Melting Point.
Reson for hiring the clown:
1) I used to read for hours on end, however the more you read the more contradtictory opinions you see. Now I'm not sure what to believe! For example the Scivation guys believe in a high fat approach where as Tom Venuto believes in a relativley low fat diet for cutting. Both regarded as experts so who do you believe?! I've always enjoyed reading Bobo's posts and his style (low gi carbs esp) fits with my way of thinking, meaning I'll have more confidence with his plan rather than Scivations - so I'm almost looking to start learning from scratch from a single point of reference.
2) Although I've been fine in getting down to a certain body fat level where I can see ab's - I'm wanting to see what I can achieve with professional advice
My Stats:
Height; 5'9
Weight; (will add these at the start on the 17th)
Waist; "
BiCep; "
Caliper Readings; (may not be that accurate - my fat track gold is telling me I'm at 7% which is way too low!)
Body fat; (see above, probably skewed by the fact that I have hardly any fat in two of the areas for measuring - leg/chest)
Yer I know most of you are thinking that the little guy should be bulking, not cutting! But the heaviest thing I have needed to lift in real life is a bag of shopping, and I'd prefer to be light and lean as I am better at running when I'm in that shape, I'm soo slow when I'm heavier.
In short - Bobo's plan will be followed exactly, and I'll update once a week with measurements and how it's going, how I'm feeling etc - doubt if it'll be more than that as nowt will change much in a day or so and certain things can cause misleading fluctuations over that short at time. I will post any changes to diet/supplements/training on the fly.
First Impressions of the plan:
Not only is it very detailed, but the diet is so much more varied to what I am used to on a cut, normally i'd be a chicken or tuna and veg type 6 times a day... so not a lot of change.
Any questions feedback / general abuse all welcome - I'll try and add pics on just before the start for a comparison.
