Summer Cutters Crew Volume 25: The quest for 15%

[Elvis.Costello]

feels good man

fitting in 16 oz (400 calories) of sweet potatoes today, currently on 2200 calories 175g protein 85g fat 200g carbs

calculated it out and im taking in like 50 grams of fiber, hope my angus doesn't implode, I'm not even eating quest bars or fiber one products or anything, that's just from all these carb sources I've been adding in

Das it man. Lost a pound this first week of RD even though I frittertech'd this weekend

On Wingate Sprints: So let me get this straight, it's 20 seconds on, 2 minutes off, 6 cycles. the "off" part is getting a high rpm but low resistance and the "on" part is trying to keep that high rpm while increasing the resistance to the maximum setting on the bike? What's the warmup portion like? Link?

no, the 2 min is recovery, pedal slow and recover so you can go hard as fuk on the next interval. If you're peddling fast you're not gonna be able to go 100% 6 times.

I like to warmup for 5 min peddling moderately --> intervals around 15 min ---> 5 min cooldown

Can't wait for September~ when I can be shredded and start gaining strength back

Otherwise I'm still a fat chit @ 175lbs. Abs... but still have hips/lovehandles

I'll probably still be shredding in sept, even after my vaca because I have a wedding to go to the following weekend.

in on bold feels.

One thing transformed my legs.......windgate sprints
..

That's it!

Did you do them on the stationary or spin bike?

I posted this before I think it is time to repost.
In this they mention a guy who brought his legs up with windgate sprints.

Gjdm. I've also lost 2lbs a week and a half into my RD now, which hardly makes sense to me considering I was basically at maintenance cals for 3-4 days cause I binged. I'm thinking of increasing my cals even more though than gp's protocol depending on how I feel, have started to help my dad out a lot with construction so my tdee is higher some days

[Ampedlift]

Not even sure I was for the week. My usual sloppy Saturday turned into sloppy Sunday as well :P.

And amped no real hunger increase yet I put the new calories in my last meal. So my earlier meals are still just like chicken and broccoli and a quest bar

Yea lol pretty sure I was doing ok. But not positive

[Nutir]

in.


Was gonna to a PSMF for the next two weeks since my family is on vacation and I don't have **** to do, but they told me too late they were leaving and don't have time to buy the supps I need (shipping time is a bitch to EU and prices here are insane).

Plus, eating 180g of protein a day in Switzerland would cost like 20$/day in chicken alone without counting the supps, so I just decided to cut calories lower than usual but not go to the extreme.

Lots of you seem to not track on weekends. I can see doing that when bulking but not on a cut. Not even sure about during reverse. Getting a lot of pressure to not track on weekends though. Lol apparently it's annoying to some people

Oh I track :P just don't give a fuk. Got to what I look like in Avi getting yucky every Saturday. The key was have 600cals of cardio and a brutal leg day every Saturday and then literally not eating anything til I went out besides some plain chicken breast. That way it seems like a super relaxing cheat day but reality prob barely hit maint cals most Saturdays

[fishnbrah]

food yesterday = 2 large pieces of pizza, 1 bowl of proats, 7 coors light

[ramonski]

Hit chest and tris yesterday and forgot my headphones. I thought it was all down hill from there but surprisingly I had one of the best workouts I've had in a while. I think its just due to me not focusing on skipping songs or worrying about a song putting me in the zone. I just focused and did my thing. I might try it again today and see how it goes.

On another note great job on the others posting their shredz on here. Shear motivation. Im going to also give the bike interval cardio a try.

I can see doing that on vacation not sure about regular weekends but I probably won't have one of those weekends for a while. Although I plan on drinking at mahemfest on the 3rd. Guess I'll be unable to track that day anyway. Probably get my carbs from beer that day. Not tracking on vacation in August for 10 days too.

[davidphillips33]

Everything was going good until Saturday evening. Started day in 500 cal deficit from morning cardio. Then mowed lawn and cleaned up the house which led to more deficit. 5pm finally broke fast with homemade burger = 400 cals

Then.........

off to my 4th wedding anniversary dinner. Ate a whole medium neopolitan style pizza, half a dessert pizza, 4 pints of some different craft brew...
later on, 4 pints boddington's
get home, beer munchies in effect.....make some nachos and quesadilla, then knock back about 20 hershey's dark kisses.

Man, I just hope by Friday morning weigh in I see no weight gain. Special occasion so hopefully it doesn't happen again for a while.

Yea man just whatever works. I dont have a ima cheat mindset. Like if I'm tired or friends out of town or whatever I just hit my normal macros and move on to the next week. I did find that knowing I might go over Sat kept me on the straight and narrow the rest of the week. Don't think I fukked up my macros once during the week

[Ampedlift]

I'm bout to go set up scaffolds at a huge fkin house, das not it mane. Gunna take some ephedrine + caffeine just to be able to do this. Will not survive this day without eating more

I used to go full YOLO every Sunday when I was in Iraq but I was way more active than I am now. But I guess I should relax it some on weekends when around other people.
