Winter Cutters Crew Vol 33: Spinning Wheels & Cutting Feels

[beepjeep]

repped

I never understood that chit mane they r fuking feet. U a toe fuker brah?

[pastilhaz]

This.

Cutting is stupid easy for me. We all have our advantages one way or another. Once I am past week 1, I can basically eat 0 cals and I still don't feel hungry.

Bulking is where I struggle though and why I have made next to no gains the past few years. I can't keep a plan together for bulking.

We need dat dere lean bulking thread for positive motivation.

I agree with the not eating part being easy but then in the gym... brb no strength brb no energy

Feels bad wanting to maintain your lifts during a cut :c Feels good seeing dem bicep veins

Third day in Las Vegas and have had zero alcohol. Been skipping breakfast, small lunch, then usually splurge for dinner.

[NEXTEPICBULG91]

So I just took the bodpod and got results for it....feel indifferent about it..

I found out Im 10 percent bodyfat at 227. That should be good news right? Well I dont look or feel like I'm 10 percent, more like 13. That means that my margin is error is very small and that in order to get that shredded look I would have to be 7 8 percent.

Such is life...

What method was used to measure? Got any pics, cause 10% above 220 is absolutely yoked, assuming you're not 8'2"

Tfw got to 145lbs and could finally see biceps veins when pumped. Binged to 150lbs in 3 weeks and can see biceps vein all the time.

Not sure how I feel about that. I look better at 150 than I did at 145. Less serratus, but much more vascular. Much much more.

You still gotta be pretty jacked. My Avi is 6'4 220 at like 13%

tfw shoulder injury. officially dropping flat barbell bench since that seems to be the culprit 90% of the time... even if i warm up, use PL form and tuck my elbows in, once i start to get close to my max i always develop shoulder issues :/

how often were you benching? Were you warming up your shoulders with rotator cuff stuff?

Those recomp feels. 1 more week to go @1800 cals and then I'll probably ease back into 2000-2100 cals until I'm 155 lbs. 164 lbs atm

But damn legs days feel so bad... so drained after squats and recovery takes a while.

[Kraxses]

How the **** is bulking hard you get to ear glorious food, seaseme chicken,chipotle,taco bell,ice cream,BBQ everything...cutting sucks ass.

I think some people are meant to be big and some skinny based on appetite

I just accept at the start of a cut that I'm going to lose strength. It comes back in like 3-4 weeks once calories are back in.

I find that if I eat most of my carbs at night and workout the next day, I have pretty good workouts still on a cut, so I have been doing that.

Well that's the problem, I start off with a plan (cooking meals, not eating ****), then it progressively turns into what you said and I get fat.

When I said bulking was hard, it's not because I can't eat a lot of food, it's because I just end up eating a lot of **** after a while (i.e, I get lazy).

Cutting is easy, brb set plan for 8-12 weeks, done. Bulking is hard because it's indefinite with no clear end in sight and you can't see weekly results(sometimes daily) like what you get with cutting.

well i recently started bulking and have been going heavy on flat bench once a week. however, last year i had a lot of issues with this and i was heavy benching twice a week. i do warmup every day and have been using a lacrosse ball on my shoulders as well, although i haven't been too consistent with the lacrosse ball lately. truthfully, i think it might've been standing cable flies that messed me up this time. i usually never do them but gave them a try just out of no where and woke up the next day with an uncomfortable left shoulder. fast forward to today, when i woke up it was ridiculously painful to move my left arm. it's weird since i did legs yesterday. tried doing push today but it went very bad lol, ended up doing some light tricep exercises and calves and did a 360 out of the gym

Try to do some band pull aparts in between sets, I've found that they help with any shoulder discomfort you might get

Lmao I'm sitting next to
A miscer on the plane in South Dakota dead serious. I told him I had 30k reps lmao

2 days a week of heavy benching did me in about 2.5 years ago.. I had to completely drop it and switch to dumbells and incline until the pain went away, then brought flat bench back once a week with a bunch of shoulder mobility.

Make sure you arent doing dips as well, but i would try to sub in exercises that dont bother it until the pain goes away.

[MizzouCocoa]

I may go for the 220 weight class so I have an excuse to fulk harddddd.

Not srs...

But I know I'll be good at bulking. Staying semi lean while doing it, probably not lel

Never been to Vegas crew. Fukking Midwest sucks the life out of me (though I can gamble/go to strip clubs here). I want to live in Arizona like fish.
