Good workout all in all, not going to max out on deadlifts for a while. Pullups were weak IMO. DB rows went good, and best of the workout I could really feel the muscle mind connection going, could really feel the lats haha hard to explain. 8/10 as deadlift form was nog correct and pullups were bad. However MMC and DB ROWS made up for it

[Docker]

stalker reporting in, gj on deadlifts man they are really coming along nicely.
admirin'.

[PRMachine]

Good job deciding to go back and fix form man, best choice.

[rdrb]

Yeah either way on the deadlifts even if the form is a little bad, for 4-5 months lifting you're pulling some good weight there.

[fitnessnewb]

yea I dont want to f*ck up my back lol. Thaks for the support lads chest tomorrow

Quite a good workout I must say, went for some higher reps just for a change and that was good. The plate press was a great exercise which I just came up with. Really hits the triceps from another angle, worth trying. The DB's for the chest were good too, as this time I had a spotter to get them up so I could get a nice PR. I am happy. 7.5/10

Legs tomorrow, hardest day hahaa. Wish me luck on that der 20 rep squats

[fitnessnewb]

Ok so I got a new plan for the summer. I am going on a 5 week break soon, as I have exams and a vacation to indonesia planned(Hell yea ). And I am thinking of cutting down to some good abs. I am at about 14% BF now.\


just a pic of me fully relaxed

What you guys think? Do I have enough mass to cut? I dont want to be very big and bulky, I just want to be "nice" muscular. Also I need to be in good shape for the army and need to have decent running times and pushup times. Tell me what you think about it, and if there are any guys here that are succesful in cutting I probably need some help lol, never cut before.

alright hope to get some feedback on this guys thanks for reading

[theWolf247]

nice pr in db flats!!
chest looks massive bro. all depends on what YOU want to do.

I agree, still would like some feedback on it though. If everyone is like WTF YOU AINT GOT MASS SON YOU ARE WATING TIME. then im like dayum I guess they are right.

How long does cutting take?

[PRMachine]

I would suggest keep putting on size til you're at a solid 200. I do believe thats about the weight where you'd be 'nice' muscular.

Also, 5 weeks off lifting is alot of time, you will lose size and strength in that distance. What you could do is go on a 2 or 3 day split, so you have more time for exams and vacationing.

Not sure about your cutting questions, i cut for about 3 weeks once and lost maybe 5-6lbs.

[Str8Rippin]

Nice workout, and good pr

Well i was recently cutting. I then decided that i did not want to be one of those swole 150 lber's. When i was done cutting i would have been around 155. I have come to realize that i would not stand out with a shirt on and anyways i have a girl. Im putting on some muscle and gaining weight so that when i cut, ill be a swole 170-180lber. Much better imo. Fat will come but stick to what you choose whether it be bulking or cutting. Dont be fickle Either way have self confidence

[rdrb]

Idk, 5 week break man, sounds kinda long. ?? you sure about that..

[Serb-Muscle]

Do your lats get sore

[Teench]

How long until you take the 5 weeks off?

Yea hmm I got 3 weeks holiday no way I can workout there with weights. In these last 2 weeks I am at home but school school school so yea might be able to squeeze in some time. Gonna be though though

Nice workout, and good pr

Yea hard decision man, eveyrone on this site says bulk in which I would tell the same if someone my size would ask me. However people IRL say I sould definetly cut soon and dont want to be too bulky.

I wish it wasnt that way. 2 weeks school exams and 3 weeks holiday to indonesia. As I said might be able to squeeze in some workouts buts gonna be though.

Do your lats get sore

hahah dayum yea. Sore as hell for 1.5 days usually. Didnt use to be but I think I improved the so called muscle mind connection and it is working better.

How long until you take the 5 weeks off?

I might try sqeeze some workouts in but my exams start next week tuesday.

[PumpinPaddy]

nice db pr - good luck with the exams too

thanks sir

Well, i'm sure you'll be able to find a gym while you're on vacation, and able to lift atleast twice a weak, even if it's not high volume, it'll help maintain mass.

Just do some upperbody stuff one day, and lower later on in the weak, trust me, if you do this you won't regret it. Even if it takes a little bit of time out of your vacation or schooling, you'll save some of those hard earned muscles.

[fitnessnewb]

but I know for sue I cant gain muscle, wouldnt it be a great oppurtunity to shed some bodyfat? Or does this cost way too much muscle as I am not really working out.

I agree if I find a gym I will defintetly go haha, I really like working out

I doubt you'd lose any fat, unless you're not eating under maintenance. You can still gain strength/size on a 2 day split, and besides even if you don't train hard, it'll still help you maintain muscle.

[rdrb]

3 weeks in Indonesia means you will probably not be following a very good diet lol.
