pretty happy with that.. so much for always losing strength while cutting..

[--->>405<<---]

had a good chest/shoulder workout today. keeping cals higher than 2000 (prob closer to 2400-2600) and still losing bf. only doing HIIT for cardio. been that way for at least 2 months. liking that a lot. looking pretty good. full and lean.

weighing in at 207lbs fasted and naked. probably 12-13%bf

at this point i am not really even focused on "cutting" per se, but moreso just followiing the IF protocol loosely and only having carbs PWO. i am even considering switching up to lifting 6 days per week hitting every body part twice instead of my 3 day split right now just to break it up and see what happens.

yeh man.. trying to add some lean mass and drop body fat.. playing around a bit. over the last 2 years my weight has slowly continued to go up while my bodyfat stays relatively the same. i may have been a bit leaner than i am now this time in 2012 but i only weighed 183lbs instead of 207lbs.. my abs look better now and so does me legs and chest and such.. progress. maybe one day i will actually run a proper cycle.

not to mention my squat has gone up about 200+ pounds as well as my deadlift and bench (although not as dramatic).

[--->>405<<---]

did deads yesterday WITHOUT BELT and felt a lot stronger and my back was fine.

135 x 10
225 x 10
315 x 5

365 x 5

415 x 5

will prob bump to 465 next week. funny how i can do more weight and feel better without a belt on. when wearing the belt it feels liek it prevents me from utilizing my abs to lift the weight and im weaker. it does seem maybe using the belt makes me stronger when i remove it though if that makes any sense.

Nice!

As long as your form isn't bad or changed, I see no need for the belt if you feel comfortable.

And I am with you on the HIT cardio, I can't wait 60 sec between sprints either!

LOL.. well i was not really cutting before i left so i dont think i gained but maybe a couple pounds if that. yes there were buffets on the ship. also had plated dinners with 2 appetizers and 3-4 desserts plus 5 or so rolls with butter

all in all i think i did fairly well. i havent lifted a weight or done a minute of cardio since feb 6..

i was sick (sore throat, dizzy, cough, weak, etc..) a bit for the holiday as well which sucked but i managed ok. there was no way in hell i was gonna do any exercising!

You're looking solid! I jacked up my left shoulder on the bench press at the end of last August and haven't been doing much of anything since except gain 10 pounds of flab. Got an MRI scheduled in March and will go from there. Started cardio again today though...

thanks. not big enuff (about 200lbs) but i will be running another cycle in 8-12 weeks. this one will be to try to put on some lean size.

im happy with the results of this one. carbs only went as low as 160g which was nice, and at the most i only did 2.5hrs cardio per week.
