Alright lets get this started off.

Current Stats
Height: 6'
Weight: 209lbs
Bodyfat Percentage: 16% according to single point test. :rolleyes:
Experience: 1 year and 3 months.



Status: Cutting on 'The Cut Diet' since December 27th 2007, started at 234lbs. I've lost a good amount of strength, but it doesn't matter to me at the moment.

Also I'm currently on a deload week, and my gym closed down , now I have to sign up at an inferior gym.

My split may look something like this for now, just kind of whatever because it doesn't matter too much, I'm cutting and I'll do cardio after lifting.

monday- arms/calves/grip
tuesday-Legs/Abs
wednesday-off
thursday-chest/calves
friday-back/traps
saturday-shoulders/arms
sunday- off


For the time I'm not cutting I would like to do another run of WSBB customized, Sheiko beginner's routine, Bench like an Animal and Tri-Phase.

Excellent!

Yea I really liked that place, they provided so much and it was cheap. Now I'm going to a mainstream gym.

Hey! Nice to see you've started a journal here

So, cutting since December huh? That's brave doing it over the holidays, i know i'd struggle! Whats your weight loss goal? What sort of macros are you taking in at the moment? How long do you think it will take you to reach your target?

That's an interesting split you got there. Could you post up the exercises you do in each session? What kind of cardio are you doing?

I know, lots of questions but im nosy :rolleyes:

My goal is 184, that would hit the 50lb mark, but I want to get it done by May, and I'll probably deplete water levels to get there, I want ab definition. But regardless of what I end up like I'm bulking in May to recover all my lost muscle, and I might cut yet again after so that I could reach my goal.

My diet looks like this...

2,000 calories, 245g protein, 85g of carbs (200 on re-feed every 3 days) and 70g of fat.


As far as excercises I'll just be doing whatever at the gym, I'll be supersetting arms that's my only plan.

I'm just doing low intensity 20-25 min cardio after lifting for now, while the calorie deficit is still a lot for my bodyweight, I'll go to HIIT closer to the end of my cut.

Cool great job on starting a journal. Nice job on the weight lose since decemeber as well to

To me it looks good. Don't get into doing high reps like 15-20's Keep your rep range 8-12. Your split looks good also. Keep posting and ask for any help that you may need!!!!

XiL3

Thanks, I'll post progress pics tonight/tomorrow.


Yea I don't get into the very high rep range, I'm kind of addicted to lifting heavy, so I even go down to 1-3 sometimes. However I'll stick to 8-12 because I want my joints feeling better by the time I start lifting heavy again.



Thanks for posting guys, I'll make sure to post in all your journals.

Sam

Cool!

I do 20-25 mins cardio too. Except when im doing HIIT then it's 10 minutes :rolleyes:

Looks like the macros are dialled in. Must be working for you to have lost so much already. Good job mate - im in for the ride

XiL3

Yea I go for around 12-15 for HIIT.


Here's a picture (the remote was used as proof of the date the pictures were taken)

Left pic is 234lbs (Dec 27th) and Right is 209lbs (yesterday)


I'll post up a back shot maybe tomorrow.

Sam

Wow, that's a big difference off the abs and chest mate. You can really see the shoulders and bis coming out too.

You must feel so much better having lost so much weight, huh? Although i've got to say for a 25lb drop in two months maybe you've lost a bit of muscle in the process? That is quite a drop. You'll be on the right side of 200lb in no time

XiL3

Thanks! It does feel good, I hope to recover all my lost muscle in May and stay as lean as I get in the next 9 weeks.

Here's the back shot, just took it.

234 vs 208 (yep 1 more pound down today )
