    GUnit33's Cutting Log

    First, I’m gona let Warrior know that his transformation defiantly inspired me. What he did in such a short period of time was amazing, and hopefully I’ll be able to pull off decent results too.

    Alright, a little about myself. I’m 21, 5’11.5, 205 pounds. My body fat is too high, and I don’t really want to know what it is right now, because I’m not the type of person that’s obsessed with it. I know when I’m chunky, and I know when I’m lean and that’s what matters to me. I’ve been lifting since I was 15, but over the past year I’ve taken a slide due to work and school. I’ve let myself go, and now I need to get back on track. In high school I was an all-conference football and basketball player, so I was a decent athlete. I never was insane with my lifting, and after high school was over it was basically an every now and than thing, so my strength is terrible at this point.

    What I plan to do throughout this phase is to lose as much fat as I can and get cut up along with increasing my strength. I don’t necessarily want to add a ridiculous amount of lean body mass (some would be great) because I plan on doing a lean bulk over the winter months if this goes to plan.

    With me being only 21, I know I’m not ready for AAS, not to mention that I’m in no condition to be taking it. Instead, I’ll only being using a strict diet and some hydroxycut to help me achieve what I want.

    My goal is to get down to 180 pounds and look lean and cut up. I want to achieve this by November/December so that I can bulk over the winter. It’s half the weight that warrior through out the window, but it’s still a chore.

    I’ll be using a 2 on – 1 off training regimine. Day 1 is chest and tris, day 2 is back and bis, day 3 is shoulders, and day 4 is legs, than I just repeat everything. I’ll be doing cardio in the AM for sure, with as much cardio as possibly in the PM as well. I’ve also got the diet down somewhat, and it’ll get tweaked here and there, but I’m going to try and take what I learned from the cutting sticky and from my own experience and mesh it together. Back in high school, I used protein shakes, and they seemed to work great for me along with 3 hard food meals. I’m going to be doing something similar to this during this cutting phase.

    With that, here goes nothing.

    January 16 - Back and Bis
    Yesterday went great. I don't have my number with me, I'll post them some other time, but I'm noticing that with this clean diet, I feel more refreshed and able to go the distance in all of my workouts, it's great! I also can tell I'm already starting to lose some weight and I'm only a couple of days in. I feel rejuvinated and it's awesome!

    AM Cardio
    30 Min Low Intensity on the Elliptical Machine - 450 Cals Burned
    PM Cardio
    20 Min Mid/High Intensity Elliptical - 350 Cals Burned

    A question for those who are following this cut, should I throw in some clen to the mix or not? I'm just tryin gto drop 20 pounds of fat so that I can get lean and do a lean bulk over the fall/winter. All help appreciated!

    January 17 Diet
    10 AM - Protein Shake w/ Flax
    12:00 PM - 1/3lb 93/7 Lean Hamburger Patty w/ 133 Cals worth of Yams

    How much cottage cheese? I only eat FF Cottage Cheese anyways, with splenda sprinkled on top so I don't get sick of it.

    The hydroxycuts are taken with actual food meals, as it stands right now until I get used to them again, I take only 2 per meal, I'll be taking 3 per meal in about 2-3 weeks.

    With an ECA stack, how should I run it? It's hard to get my hands on Ephedrine here.

    FF Cottage Cheese Is disgusting and worst when its dry. Get 1% CC And eat it before bed ( I suppose this meal is Pro/Fat) Even you can get away with 2%. 1 cup will give you 30g protine about 4-5g fat. Along with flaxeed oil or natural Beanut butter and nuts, you shoukd get around 35g pro 20g fat.

    Well my frind, IMO you shouldn't be resting more than 1 min between ste. Y wanna loose fat righ? lower the wight, increase the reps 10-15, decrease the rest 15 sec every 7-10 days till you reach 30 sec. These exercises here shouldn't take longer than 45 min if not less. Here, First two sets of an exercise, lift heavy 5-6 reps ( still rest to minimal) the other 2 or 3 sets 12-15. JIMO

    The workout itself didn't take long, but for some reason my gym was packed and there wasn't much available, so I was working sets in with people, that's why it took so long. Normally my gym isn't like that.

    Also, I can't buy ephedra anywhere in store around here, so I'm just tryin gto find a place online. I wish the damn insurance companies would just back people so that ephedra products could be on the market widely again.

    Just a suggestion, but if you're primary goal is to cut, why don't you set aside separate days for cardio? For example, do cardio mon, wed, and fri, but lift on tuesdays and thursdays? Also, if you're worried about losing strength, implement plyometrics into your cardio workout.

    I'm planning on cutting down, but I still want to lift. I plan on doing cardio M-F 2 times a day as long as I don't have any complications. 1 in the am and 1 at night.

    Tuesday July 16 - Shoulders/Cardio
    Had a great shoulders workout, but near the end I began to get real tired. I'm assuming it's because I've been sick this entire week with sinuses/cold. Kinda sucks, but oh well. I also did the following for cardio:

    AM: 20 min Elliptical Low Intensity - 450 Cals Burned
    PM: Mid/High Intensity Cardio for 30 Min - 600 Cals Burned

    Wednesday July 17 - Legs/Cardio
    I did my legs after my AM cardio and wow...it really shows that I haven't lifted with my legs in about a year and a half. I used to be able to push whatver, and now I can't, but that's what being lazy gets ya. Cardio went like this:

    High Intensity/Low Intensity Mix - 18 Min(Had to get ready for work) 300 Cals

    Hopefully I can get in some cardio this evening if my legs aren't hurting too much from the lifting this morning.

    Also, I can definatly tell I'm starting to drop some pounds, so it seem sto be working well.

    Low impact is ok IMO like recumbant bike, I'd stay away from the tredmill though for sure on legday and the day after as if might affect recovery.

    Suprisingly it wasn't too bad yesterday, I didn't do AM cardio because my legs were sore from the lifting, but at night I did cardio just fine, no issues or anything.

    Good luck dude. Try and keep progressing your numbers with your cardio and weight training. Also, keep your resistance training logged to note any changes in strength in relation to changes in bodyweight. Always be prepared to make adjustments if things are not going as planned. And get the pics up so you have a starting point.

    Happy cutting and I'm glad you found my thread inspirational

    Welp, I'm adjusting my approach, as it's not going well so far. Tommorow, I'm starting a new routine with tons of cardio, and lifting M/W/F. I'm gona down the cals just a tad, but still make sure I'm getting my carbs when I need em, and get enough protein in the day as well. I've made a kick as spreadsheet with charts and shit to help me follow my progress as well.
