Hi. I will be detailing a log to show everybody that this sport does not have to be as hard and as stressful as most seem to make it. I once fell into that trap and now I am finally seeing the light and walking out the tunnel (or should I say sprinting). Below I will detail my training and diet ideals for my following cut , there is no time frame and everything with me at this point is done by feel, Which I think it should be. I do not claim to know it all or have the best solution etc. I am just simply reporting my findings and maybe a old approach that some felt (this cant work its too easy, or its not what most guys do- so im not doing it etc) This is just to open the box and expand your mind.
Training methodology:
Currently I do not train to failure, my workouts are brief and intense. I train as many days as I feel I can currently have not had a rest day in 2 weeks. I do not train legs at the moment as they are a strong point for me and I am trying to bring up my chest, delts, and back width. I do train calves. Rep ranges are anywhere from 8-15. My rest times are 15-30 sec max. I use mostly machines except for db flys, db curls, db shrugs and db pullovers.
last training session was as follows:
Seated 1 foot parallel bar row : 4x 15
wide grip pd (Lats parallel to body): 4x 15
seated wide row machine: 5x 12
db pullover: 3x 15
High cable curl: 4x 15
wide preacher curl: 5x 10
seated calves: 4x 15
my last set I did not make the last reps I stopped 1-2 reps shy
Cardio : I will not be performing any cardio in this cut
Diet: currently eating 2032 calories for 3 days 180/180(166)/72
I currently have the meals broken down according to this
30/50/12 (pre workout)
30/54/1 (post workout)
30/30/14
30/25/15 x 2
30/0/15
Yes the carbs add up to 180 but because I measure my rice by weight it gets off a few carbs per meal and totals 166. Food choices are typical this day to get in rhythm.
On the 4th day I eat 3000 calories of whatever food I like. Pancakes, cake, cookies, cereal etc. I do try to eat foods that don't cause distension as I have IBS.
As the diet progresses I will move the 3000 calorie day to the 5th day, then 6th day, and lastly to the 7th day at this point I should be where I need to be.
I will be posting starting pictures shortly.
Thanks for tuning in it will be a fun ride.
Please note this log is not about (hormones you can make your own assumptions etc. But I will not be detailing this information) I will say I have done some stupid things in the past only to find out that I make better progress, look and feel better w/ moderation. I will also say that you should only use things that you respond to and throw everything else out.
