Anyone else cutting come January? Motivational thread!

[eagetal96]

in on this. started my cut last year as a skinny fat but totally screwed things up as I was confused about bulking or cutting and at the end I was concentrating too much on my lifts and muscle gain while in a deficit, so I stopped lifting at the end of the year. lifts were weak too so it was demotivating as phuck.

I think my aim now is to go auschwitz mode and forget about my lifts and muscle mass, then go on a bulk. I think I'm at 20% or possibly higher body fat with minimum muscle mass. It's going to be hard and not a very good but I can't give up and waste another year. Any tips for a skinny fat cutting is welcome

We are gonna make it!

Srxly tear up watching this video....guuuarkkkkkkk

Pretty happy as I finally seemed to have gotten a bit of spill over (although I don't really know if it is) from my last refeed. The good thing is that whenever I do slightly spill over (did 4kcal yesterday), fat loss gets INSANNEEEE the next few days.

Libertarian crew checking in. Left right paradigm is retarded, they both do stupid things and honestly at this point in time there really is no difference between the two.

Fishnbrah, I thought we are keeping it clean and straight down to business :-), as you rightly said only motivation and cutting support :-)

You don't want to turn it to turn to the other cutting thread which is more of general conversation one :-).

No pics of me yet at 200 and looking decent but later this afternoon.

Inb4 G4P comments that will follow :-)

Like that lincoln quote as well. May start straying away from a set routine and kinda mix up exercises/reps everyday to keep it interesting.

Been off of a routine for about 2 weeks now. Kinda fun coming up with random things to do that you haven't.


Starting new program on the 13th though. Lots of body weight stuff combined with lifting. I'm mainly just used to programs like 5/3/1 and 5x5 so I haven't done much bodyweight stuff before. Just picking things up and putting them down.

Started cutting yesterday. Prior to my bulk, I was around 200lbs and bulked up to 235lbs. Now slowly cutting for summer. I always ended up cutting too much too fast in the past, so I'm taking this cut slow. Dropped calories just a tad bit and added cardio at the end of most of my workouts.

Time to start cuttin again slowly

[Starkdragon]

started cutting/lifting at start of october 2013, 160 lbs (guestimated between 25 and 30% BF - low LBM.)

full body 3x per week, moved on to upper/lower split 4x per week pretty quickly (maybe too quickly but i'm happy with it and progressing). kept cals below 1800.

currently stand at just under 145 lbs, look thinner, lifts have progressed (probably put on ~3-5 lbs LBM) guess now about 18% (don't want to under guess)

the cut continues for another month or two/whenever i'm happy to focus on bulking.

inb4 some people recommend that i bulk first because i only have ~115-120 lbs LBM but it's better than nothing and i promise to lean bulk as best as i can

wish me luck

yeah i feel like when i comfortable with a routine i lose motivation.

if im not sweating bullets or almost dead after my workout then i did it wrong. inb4 overtraining.

[Dexter3000]

In on cut! lost 20 lbs over the past 3 months (and 4" from waist) while just eating a little less. Now I want to get to 10% BF and then lean bulk to finally have them abs for the first time ever.

Aim high guys. GL to all of you!

[amperless]

INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Started January 1sth, I am 6'2" and 240 pounds, dreamer-bearmode for 8 month bulk. I look like this ATM. I am doing IF + Carb Cycling.



Will I be able to cut to 9% until July 1sth???
I think I am around 16% to 18% BF.

[Lolwatdo]

Started cutting Dec 27th. Wanna get down to 185-190. Running a half marathon in feb so that should help. brb run forrest run

[Mrlatking]

I think you should regulate your routine somewhat so you don't spin your wheels. Have some way to track progression on lifts

yeah thats what im going to do. have some basic movements i.e. shoulder press, bench, squat, deadlift, rows to gauge progress, but switch up accessory work. thanks for the input.

Best of luck bro, you were one of my original bb.com inspirations when I first joined the site, I remember going through all your posts when you/Germanic/Zyzz and still semi Klaus were the "Misc Kings." Hope you smash it up!

I still remember watching this video and having it pump me up before my gym sessions

More than enough time.

I'd also bet you're lower than 16-18%. Misc perception for bf% is retarded because they use photoshopped pictures under perfect lighting with the athlete having taken diuretics/carbed up and having an amazing pump as a guideline. However that is not even CLOSE to day to day conditioning. Thus most estimates can be off by 2 and even upwards of 4-5%. If you want post a different picture and I can give you an estimate, but even if you were 16%, it'd be MORE than doable to get to 9% by July, if anything you could do it so slowly that you may even make small gains since the deficit/cardio wouldn't need to be high at all. 7 months for 7% bf (and you're probably closer to the 12-14% range) is pretty damn easy when really you can lose 2 and even sometimes 3% bf A MONTH, not even killing yourself that much (in the beginning anyways).
