So I put up a thread about 2 months ago stating that I was done with cut at around 170-172lbs. But after a lot of good advice I decided to keep going going. I am now down to 162lbs. I did all of this with IIFYM that I discovered through Matt Ogus and Matty Fusaro. (Thanks guys). I was able to maintain more muscle than ever before on a cut and did it all while being able to still eat what I want. I even had 2 Poptarts for snack almost every night. I wasn't 100 percent perfect and I lost a little more quickly than I was supposed to...but I am still happy with the results. Lost almost 32lbs in 6 months.
6'1 196lbs
6'1 180lbs
6'1 172lbs
6'1 162lbs
I really don't want go any lighter than this as I am not competing. I plan to maintain for 1 week then up my calories but 50 to 100 and begin my bulk. I can't wait to get my strength back.
Also no leg pics as they are lagging as I neglected them the first few years. But not anymore. I am actually excited to see how much muscle weight I can gain this years from seriously training legs just as much as upper body.
Thank you guys for any and all comments and advice.

Good lawd. Good cut! I'm 5'9, 162... lol You hold it well I guess. I'd have thought less lean mass for that weight. Either way good job, man!

06-25-2013, 07:51 PM #20Probably around 10 percent, you could still lose a little more on your lower abdominals. But, if you're happy with where you're at, then I say start your bulk.Originally Posted by egon10psi

You look great. I would have never guessed you were 162 with your height and upper body mass. You look more like 180. Mirin

And dammit Dustin that is now what I want to hear....I want to start my bulk and gain strength again. I was thinking I was round 8 percent and that my lower as are just under developed and need work.
