CodyMCP's Pizza and Ice Cream Leangains cut

[CodyMCP]

Hey brahs. Long time lurker first time poster. Starting a leangains cut and figured I'd keep a log. Not sure if it's even interesting or not but it might help me out to stick with my macros and motivate me to push harder at the gym. Plus there's going to be a good amount of ice cream and pizza food porn. I'm very open to any suggestions you guys might have about my eating or training, so if you see anything out of whack don't be afraid to give me a heads up.

Just a little backstory, I'm 6'2" and around 170 lbs 12% BF at the moment, I was hovering near 185 lbs 20% BF a few months ago but I've lost some of it by eating healthier and doing crossfit type exercises. Started weight training about a month and a half ago, and started taking it very seriously these past couple weeks. Figured the sooner I finish this cut, the sooner I can start bulking and pushing my training. I know I'm already fairly 'skinny' and could probably just bulk up now, but I want to keep dat aesthetic while bulking. I'm planning on doing this cut for 3 weeks, hoping to get down to 165 lbs and around 8% BF.

I've already test driven Lean Gains and Intermittent Fasting this last week to see if it would work for me, and after putting up new PRs across the board while training fasted I'm deciding to stick with it (yeee noob gains). Anyways, here are my macros and training schedule.

Macros:
Leangains cut +10%/-40%
TDEE ~2500, TWEE ~17500
3250 Weekly Deficit

Mon/Wed/Fri +10% TDEE, 75% carbs/25% fat
2750 Calories
52g Fat
356g Carbs
212g Protein

Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun -40% TDEE, 10% carbs/90% fat
1500 Calories
90g Fat
22g Carbs
150g Protein

Training Schedule:
A
3x5 - Front Squat
3x5 - Bench Press
1x5 - Deadlift
3xF - Dips
3xF - Ab Cable Crunch

B
3x5 - Squat
3x5 - Standing Military Press
3x5 - Pendlay Row
3xF - Chin-Ups
3xF - Ab Cable Crunch

I'm going to be on this cut for 21 days, and my goals are:
Get down to around 8% Body Fat, which probably means about 165 lbs
Squat 2 plates (225 lbs) for 5 reps
Deadlift 3 plates (315 lbs) for 5 reps

Basically relying on noob/form gains to progress this much on those 2 lifts. I added 50 lbs onto my deadlift and 20 lbs onto my squat the past 2 weeks while on a cut so we'll see if I have more progression like that in me.

Like I said, if anything looks out of whack, let me know. Let the cutting begin!

Training-
3x5 - Squat, 205, +10lbs from last week

3x5 - Pendlay Rows, 145, +10lbs, kind of ****ty form though

3xF - 110lb Ab Cable Crunch, 10 + 8 + 11 = 29

Started training my friend today, he's almost my height but weighs a good 30lbs less than me. He did well for his first time lifting, I just have to get him to eat enough. Definitely a little harder to focus on my own lifts, but it's always good to have a training buddy. As for food, I didn't end up eating till after my workout at like 10pm, meaning a 26 hour fast. Had to stuff my face just to get the pizza and froyo down. Normally I'd have another decent sized meal with chicken, broccoli, rice, and juice but I was way too full.

I was craving PB&J last night, so today I OD'd on it before training. Felt like a kid again, but no more PB&J for a while. Gym session was alright, pulled 260 for 3 reps on my deadlifts, but after that I was kind of out of it. First time not working out fasted in a while, and I don't think I liked it. First time front squatting too so didn't push the weight that hard. The pain in my right forearm from Monday was still slightly there, but I didn't really have to engage that area too much. All in all it was a good day, weight is coming off, excited to get back to the gym on Friday.
