the trendline is looking good on the renpho app but I have some hard pushing to do. 190lbs has become a tough sticking point for me in the past couple years on these cuts. I almost let that voice in my head that says "well, you are over 40" but I shut it out and don't accept that.
Last night I broke the sugar fast with ground turkey and had a large unmeasured serving. However my appetite was killing me and I ended up with chips and bread covered in more ground turkey, lol. I woke up at 192 today so only up about a 1/2 pound but I'm thinking I should maybe start measuring those evening portions to make sure I know what I'm taking in.
Today is not a good day for a sugar fast because of logistics and early morning appts so I'm running more PSMF to keep calories under control before family dinner tonight, then I am thinking of running a full 36hr fast Thursday.

Just got off the phone with Steve and told him where I'm at. I'm really glad I"m taking a supplement break because its letting me figure out which supps are doing what again. after a few years of consistent use, there is some confusion and white noise in my head about all of it.
I told him I need to push through this subcutaneous fat, melt another 5-8lbs, and I need my intensity back in my gym sessions. we landed on these 5:
Anabolix XT again
Alpha One again
Lean Edge
Thermo Scorch
Lean GLP
you can see 3/5ths of this order are all focused on the fat burning side of things. really trying to hold myself accountable here and remind myself its about leaning up, not the next bench PR right now.

Keep in mind you can continue to chase PR's the same way @Hyde does, based on body weight. I bet if you cut down almost every lift at your new body weight will be a PR at that weight. I know you track your weight, and lifts, so this would be easy for you to see. Just change the focus there to PR's for bodyweight to reflect your situation. Then you don't feel you are losing ground on strength because you are tracking strength at your current bodyweight and leverages.

as long as the wife still feels the need to measure who has the bigger chest I feel like I'm doing OK

My wife does not do this, but it is because I already won that challenge years ago. Maybe before we got together. The only time hers were bigger was during a period she had gained a decent bit of weight. Now she has dieted her way back down into a size 6 with no exercise. Very impressive. She is far more disciplined than I am when it comes to portion control. She still has almost all of the same foods, just in lower amounts, and cut cokes way back. I think she hit a size 12-14 at her highest point. She is down about 30lbs total now.as long as the wife still feels the need to measure who has the bigger chest I feel like I'm doing OK

my wife is the same way, it sorta cracks me up. especially considering how lean I was when we met and she would say "you gotta enjoy life" well, there's +2% BF on me lol. then she finally gained a few and I was happier (+2% more) and I'm like, can't we just age gracefully a little bit?? then she starts going on a cut and its like immediately completely dry, no wine, perfect portion control, but then of course she eats half her meal and puts the other half on my plate (+2%BF again for the big guy)

like 10-14 ish?
before I brought cardio back I was like 68 and checking the samsung log now I see lows of 47-48 with avg being 54-58....
I hated this silly smart watch when I first got it, but lately it's turned into a game to see how many steps I can eek out. my feet are even starting to get sore finally so I might have to throw in some alternatives soon like rowing/bike... we do have a pool at the gym, I just don't like swimming, lol

The day 2 DOMs are noticeable for sure lol. Yesterday wasn't bad.
Woke up Saturday at a new low of 188.X but I figured that was a glitch.
Wife and I went out and enjoyed a dinner with friends last night, didn't really go off the rails but both of us are a bit salt loaded and puffy today.
Weirdly enough after a day of manual labor stripping out carpet from a space that's getting renovated and dozens of trips up and down stairs I did not even break my 10,000 steps so we'll see how today goes. Gonna try to get a solid Sunday effort in so Monday is starting off on the right foot.
Raw dogging life this week but I have a new batch of supps shipping from Steve tomorrow so I'm looking forward to bringing those toys back into play after a period of nothing because I think I'll enjoy them more.

woke up a bit lower at 191.00 this morning. Would love to see 189.9 by the time we kick off August.
the sugar in the morning/preWO is definitely giving me a good kick for my lifting sessions but I admit I'm already getting sick of sugar, lol. Had normal sugar in my coffee this morning, and a tbspn of honey separate.
Yesterday I did the same basically plus fruit all day. broke it at night with a large serving of ground beef as a 'snack' while we cooked up dinner. which was sorta like spaghetti squash except my wife used a huge regular yellow squash, carved out the middle and filled it with ground beef/spaghetti sauce and I cooked them on the traeger. This morning I woke up like a half hour before my alarm and just opted to start the day early (like 4:15am). IDK if thats sustainable but I'll take the win! Maybe I'm getting old, beating the alarm rather than hitting the snooze, lol.
Dustin07
Legend
man I sure am trying. I felt super awake long before my alarm today but already at 9am I'm starting to drag a bit so I'm going to pound some more fruit. I'm finding ways to separate "blocks" of output more effeciently as I toy with my schedule. Having a 'steps' goal before I hit some lunch time LISS helps force me out of my desk to do some extra walking. on this cut, with the fruit, my evening workouts have felt better and more productive than evening lifting sessions so I'm going to toy again with the earlier long LISS cardio, with evening session and see if it was a fluke or keeps working for me.
I'm so close to getting back under 190 without fasting right now, that I'm feeling really motivated to push it hard this week with an august 1st goal of 189.X (or better if possible). that's not obviously impossible but it's a pretty strong and consistent cut for another real pound or more this week.

postWO dinner was something like this:
snack/appetizer
ground beef with sriacha + a few tortilla chips
half a chicken breast
dinner
steak + jumbo prawns (my night to cook while wife was at gym so she gets steak, lol)
asparagus
dessert
we had one of those 100 calorie pudding pop type things
beverages
sparkling water and salted crystal light.
My belly felt full and I did not think I was going to wake up lighter, but actually did wake up quite a bit lighter at only 190.00 on the dot. something is working...

You’re killing it in here with your dedication and intensity. I know you’re trying to hit 189, but I bet part of the reason your not seeing the scale go down as quickly as you would like, is with the work you’re putting in the gym, I am sure you are still losing fat, but you have replaced it with muscle so that’s probably part of why the scale may not be moving as quickly. And a lot of these good supplements we take help you to hold onto and at times even build muscle during a cut, to a certain degree. In addition to tracking your weight, I bet if you did your body measurements… Chest, waist, arms, and legs when you started and measured now to compare, you would have a more accurate idea of what you have accomplished. Waist shrinking while chest, arms, and legs grow is the Holy Grail of lifting. Don’t get me wrong, scale weight is important, but it isn’t as accurate a tool, by itself, to measure progress for someone that lifts as it is for someone who doesn’t lift. I know you know that, but just food for thought.

yeah I think you're right on all accounts. my pants are getting loose but the sleeves in my shirts are still pretty tight. I've also eliminated extra snacking, or even evening drink etc. which I think is not only helping to cut calories (obv) but how my body is processing the food I am giving it. The fruit portion of my day it not as satiating this week as I thought it was before, I've been fairly hungry during the day but I have a large aresenal of fruits at work to keep me going.
Now, the fruit preWO (or fruit juice) has been a pretty awesome preWO hack while I'm running on no supplementation, and when I do finally get to dinner it seems like my appetite while strong, has been a lot more manageable than when I break a legit 20:4 or 36hr+ fast.

I wanted 40s but dude grabbed them right before I reached over lol. So I grabbed the next ones. I normally lift both sides at the same time but with the 42.5s I did six unbroken then I would do doubles on my right side, doubles on my left side, etc for 12. The form is probably a bit better doing single arm raises but the workout feels more productive running both sides simultaneously to me....Good workout….42.5s for 12 is some good weight for side laterals.

so last night's dinner wasn't anything bad, but it was a lot. I was STARVING. Had some ground turkey, cottage cheese, chicken breast, and the rest of that left over steak, lol. Woke up this morning at 191.00 on the dot. so at the moment I'm basically dropping about 1lb+ per week consistently. I'd love to see more than that, but I know that it's an accurate cut, its not a crash, it's not a dehydrated post fast weight on the scale, and the slacks I wore yesterday were embarassingly large on me. My lifting belt is back EASILY to the 3rd hole at 191lbs which is probably about 5lbs heavier than usual at minimum. 4th hole on my lifting belt hystorically would be sub 180lbs.
since my buddy had that small heart attack he keeps his bp machine at work so I ran mine on his this morning. so I'm on my second cup of coffee and show:
HR 59
117/81 bp
I'd like to get that diastolic a tiny bit lower but as of right now it's the lowest bp in our office, lol.

ahh, I appreciate the kind words but I don't feel super inspiring, if anything I feel like my output in many ways is far less intense than my old xfit days, but I'm learning hacks along the way to simplify things and make it all work. 20:4 is a cheaters way to eat more at night, for me, vs the discipline of very measured meals all day. and the sugar fasting for me lately has been a better spin on that, giving me those insta-sugars preWO.
but as much as I hated the smart watch when I first got it, embracing it is helping a lot. I took a ten minute walk which gave me about 1200 steps and almost .6 miles during a short break at work. that adds up fast.
yesterday the app tells me I did 15,400 steps, 163 "active" minutes, 817 calories, and 6 miles total walked. which I know is actually low because sometimes I'll get off the treadmill and it will say something like 2.2 miles and the watch might only say 1.8 or 1.9.
adopting the old Cutler split has also been really good for me. my shoulders day for instance this week was CRAZY fun. I had zero supplemenation in me other than sugar, and I think it was a 45 minute gym session including 10 minutes of cardio before and after (20 total). so you're talking about 25-30 minutes of lifting time (SHORT!) for what ended up feeling like a crazy effective session, but allowing more LISS too.
I'm also recovering better with this split which is crucial since calories are low and steps are up. I've been super tired by the time I go to bed and some nights even forgot to take my melatonin yet sleeping like a rock.
now getting up to walk the dog at 4:30am isn't easy, but she's a heeler/border collie mix and I think that 2000+ steps in the morning is as good for her as it is for my collection of overall output so hopefully I can maintain that, at least until the rainy season makes it unbearable....
we'll see. My supplements from Steve should arrive any day now so I'm really happy to be making this progress completely naturally cause I know once I'm taking supplements I spent $$$ on, I'll be feeling more drive to put them to good use. ending August at 185 seems very reasonable right now.

One thing I noticed after being completely dry for a while is yesterday when I did have a little bourbon with my wife it honestly did not taste good at all lol. And this morning I slept in and never truly felt rested at all.
I guess if the body is naturally deciding it doesn't like an evening drink that's gonna be an extra 200+ calories probably that I can remove or replace with actual useable carbs/protein

One thing I noticed after being completely dry for a while is yesterday when I did have a little bourbon with my wife it honestly did not taste good at all lol. And this morning I slept in and never truly felt rested at all.
I guess if the body is naturally deciding it doesn't like an evening drink that's gonna be an extra 200+ calories probably that I can remove or replace with actual useable carbs/protein

Both beer and whiskey are an acquired taste. Don't get me wrong, I came to like the flavor of both, but does make you wonder.

Hey, the body knows what it needs.
I hadn't really pondered the acquired taste bit since I've always sorta been a bourbon guy and IPA's are my choice, both being strong flavors. although beer is easier for me to turn down because the volume of a glass of beer is more than I want tbh. But yeah, definitely makes it easier to "just say no". My boy and I hit the local old school style arcade in Tacoma after our session yesterday and I was thinking beer just didn't sound good even though that would be my normal go to for an arcade session so I just had a diet pepsi, lol.Both beer and whiskey are an acquired taste.

however the arcades were fire. we spent most of the time playing a tabletop version of Revenge of Doh, which I had never heard of before, but we got instantly hooked. I've always thought it would be cool to have an old school arcade in the house somewhere.

Well, it is carcinogenic lol. The 4 hrs (per drink) of induced catabolism does nothing for gains either. I’m a wet blanket these days and decline booze. I found to he good at drinking, you have to practice; to be good at lifting, you have to practice; but you don’t get to be good at both simultaneously.

all good points! and booze ain't cheap.
normally I'm a good sleeper but I noticed after a couple drinks my sleep was completely trashed, which was super weird. so yet another reason why it increasingly makes it easier to pass....

Morning dog walk
25 min / ~3k steps
Afternoon cardio
30 min incline LISS
EMOTM sled pushes
15 rounds 3-4 plates
Short rest
5 MIN AMRAP - 2 plates
9 rounds
Total so far
75 min cardio
~10,000 steps
Notes, wanted to mix it up a bit with the HIIT effort / sleds vs just a normal 40+ of treadmill walking.
The 4:30am dog walk is a bit rough but after a few days of doing it I'm starting to feel obligated cause I know the dog loves it, so that helps hold me accountable
