6 week cut.

[closer.]

Hi all, currently sitting at 180cm and 80kg, at around 18-20% bf. Hoping to hit 74kg by 30/06/08.

Since I'm just another piss-poor college student, I'm going to keep it simple in terms of diet. It will consist mainly of chicken, tuna, eggs, cheese and peanut butter. Planning to go 6 weeks with only 5 cheat meals (social situations only) which I will count as refeeds. After which, I'll spend 2 weeks phasing in carbs for maintainance upon reaching my goal weight.

I won't really be counting calories, just eating sensible portions when I'm hungry. Trying for at least 30min a day of medium-intensity cardio.

Start date: 18/05/08
End date: 30/06/08

Here goes!

I'm 5' 11" 160 lbs, I gained about 12 lbs in 3 and a half months of trying to cleanly bulk, and I have been cutting now for about a week. I will continue cutting for another month and a half or so. My diet consists of eggwhites, chicken breast, whey, tuna, and sometimes cottage cheese. I train 5-6 days a week, while doing 45 minutes of cardio every day as well. I also started using MuscleTech's "Shredded Stack" this morning, hopefully it helps. I'll keep a watch on this thread, and let you know how it goes for me also. Goodluck

This is a bad idea -- you should not cheat 5 times like this....a social dinner is fine IF you have been following CKD properly...what does your lifting look like? Why aren't you eating red meat?

[closer.]

Well red meat is expensive where I live, and I actually really like chicken, so it's easier for me to stick to. As for lifting, I'm gonna be hitting it about 2-3x a week, full body compounds. It looks something like this:

Deadlifts 5x5
Pullups 5x5
Flat Bench Press 5x5
Military Press 5x5

I don't really get what you're saying about the whole cheat meal thing. Do you mean that I should not look at social gatherings as cheat meals, or do you mean that I should not cheat at all?

Also, good luck to AhmedAttia on your cut! We're all in this together, haha.
