The_Asset`s Complete 8 week cutting Log (Workout, Supplements, Calories, Meal Plan)
Hello all,
so this is the first time I am going to be completely 100% strict with a cutting plan so I figured I would make a log to keep myself honest. I have been training for about 8 years now and have been fairly strict with diet in the past, however I have always let myself somewhat cheat here and there. I have been bulking (on a loose diet) for about 8 months now and have put on 16 lbs putting me at 200 lbs. My goal is to lose about 2 lbs a week, so 16 lbs total on this cutting plan. I am starting this cut in the last week of this month and I am hoping to weigh in at about 202-205 by then.
I intend to use this thread to track my progress and I may put on some pics later if I am not too lazy.
Stats:
Age: 27
Height: 5'11
Weight: 200 lb (hopefully 202-205 before cutting)
Bf %: ?? ( I would guess 12-14)
Cut Start Date: June 29, 2015
Workout Routine:
Regarding cardio, I am going to allow myself to choose what form of cardio to do on any given day (while restricting running to twice a week, 30 mins max to avoid completely deflating. I used to be a long distance runner and had thick legs and no upper body so I will be avoiding reverting back to that).
