5"9 193 and cutting

[Darb77]

Weighed in at 193 today and started cutting today. Cutting carbs, doing cardio, ECA stack. I havent done hardly any cardio in the past 6 months and it shows! I would love to try and get to 10% BF, thats my goal.

Didnt take any pics of legs but they are 26 inches, not huge but I tore my patellar tendon and havent been able to squat for a long time. Gotta do what I can do with them.

I wish I knew how to add pics so that they just show up in my post without having to click on anything, how do you do that?

Thoughts?

Thanks for lookin.

At first I was coming in here expecting to see someone who has no business cutting but you have a solid build and will actually look pretty good after you're done (not that you don't look solid now). You might want to try skippys carb cycling, I've had good luck with that.

If you want your pics to show in the body of the post you need to host them, copy the image location and then post it between [img]piclocation[/ img] except with no space between the / img

THanks bro.......I figured out how to do that finally! THanks for the info and the kind words.

Best of luck with the cut bro, you're gonna be a beast! keep us updated!

[nsiegel5]

Looking big, you should look shredded with good size at 175 or so.

[iamtough]

You have so much muscle mass below that fat. You're gonna be a phucking beast when you're done.

[Destination2010]

You look huge! God damn when you cut off another 20 pounds or so :O

[wdw379]

looking big dude, cant wait to see the cut pics.

[Darb77]

Thanks for the kind words.......I hope to go the distance this time. I normally get bored with it and start bulking up again like half way through hehe

[SoSick]

cut hard man, you'd look killer

[Noxicate]

Beast, you'll look awesome cut.

[Darb77]

Thanks! I was actually about 210 about three months ago. I have been as high as 235 but definitely had more fat. I lose and gain weight very quickly, not as easily as when I was younger though. I am not concerned too much with what the scale says as long as I am cutting BF. Actually I havent been this light in probably two years. I couldnt imagine weighing 180 or something, havent weighed that since high school.

Ok I am down from 5"8 193 to 182 as of yesterday. I took a couple pics to compare and really cant tell much of a differnce. I am still eating quite a bit and havent lost much strength but have lost some. Am I doing something wrong?

[tunagoat]

My legs arent bad......but not great. measured them at 25 inches, left leg a bit smaller though. I tore my patellar tendon bout a year and half ago and was in rehab the past year. Didnt do legs for like 6 months and no squatting. I was forced to just do leg press and alot of hamstring exercises. I started squatting last week after a year, very light though, not over 225. I still have issues with my left knee nd have a doc appointment monday to see about prolotherapy. Me legs use to be alot bigger! kind of suck now but what can I do? I try and do alot of high reps also with light weight for legs sometime. Heavy weight really makes my knee sore sometime.

[Ryan066]

you can definitely tell the difference! also looks like you hav'nt lost any muscle at all. insane results, id keep givin' er though

[Darb77]

Thanks everyone.....Yea I guess I will continue to keep cutting. I need to just not worry about what the scale says. I weighed in at 182 last night, I feel so small. Goal is to get to 10%bf eventually. Might just continue to slowly cut until the end of the year.

As far as I can see, the only thing you did wrong was purchasing that hat

Good job so far dude, I think you'll be in great shape at 175.

[Her8yRa1ner]

Great progress!

i see. you look really huge in your 193 lb pics so i thought maybe you had chicken legs.

[ezra76]

Don't get too discouraged. Most people vastly under estimate the weight they'll have to cut to to be sub 10% bf.

I've gone from 188 to seeing the scale say 169.5 this morning and still just above 10%. I feel like look skinny again but after a good pump I look like I put on 15lbs. of muscle.

Keep at it and try to disregard the scale. Base your progress off how you look, not how much you weigh.

There's a huge difference - I think we underestimate how much fat we are carrying most of the time!
In the first pic there is not much definition.
In the 2nd pic you can really see the cuts between the shoulder and arm and the serratus are obvious.
There is also an obvious biceps split in your left arm and your waist is looking much narrower
You still look huge, so just keep cutting for a few more weeks - when your lifts start to drop dramatically is when you have started to lose more mass than you should - you've taken 9 weeks to drop 11 pounds and that sounds about right to me!
You'll be ripped in the 170s!

[IronMau5]

i dont understand how Op is that huge at only 183 ? alot of muscle mass and still look like your carrying abit fat. Even at 5ft 8 you look huge.

[Ottermode]

good cuttage, loving the cheezy grin

[remnex]

There is a huge difference between those two pics. Nice job my good sir. Keep it up.

[noworriess]

Dude what are you talking about there's a huge difference! Continue to cut a little more and you will look amazing.
