1. Apple Cider Vinegar - look it up, insane amount of benefits also for skin.

Come with me brahs to the world of aesthetics!

In on january cut, cutting from 20% to hopefully 10% in 5-6 months. I am at 205lbs atm.

Plans are 3x week full body and 2-3x HIIT and some light cardio and a good diet to go with it.

Nice job brah! 10% loss will be insanely good feeling and increase your confidence tenfold! dont give up brother!

In, I'm going to start cutting in a couple of weeks. Sitting at 185 at probably 15-16% now, I want to get below 10% for this summer. I've never been lower than 13-14% my entire life so it will be a challenge. I'm guessing I'll probably have to cut down to 165-70ish.

Think I'm going to keep my lifting schedule the same and start at 2500 calories, then lower it gradually or start doing cardio if I'm not losing on that.

Wanted to get a bit more mass before cutting but I'm starting to feel fat and I don't like it.

[Y2JERICHO]

[Koval661]

In on this. Resuming cut starting tomorrow. Goal is to get from 15% to 10% by early march. Good luck brahs.

[GodsParticle]

In brah.

Gotta end this forever cut lol... Lost 17lb (8.5kg) so far.

Hopefully I can get to 180lb at 8%-10% bodyfat, with the big 3/4/5 plates on my main lifts. Maybe I'm just asking too much, but I want it so bad lol.

Good luck everyone.

Looking great man! you will look even better ripped!

[Y2JERICHO]

so you cutters are just going to do a simple deficit or are you going to do keto/IF?

Keep training! you can do it for sure brother, I did tough mudder last year and it was much easier then expected, just keep runnin!

[stefans03]

I'm planning on IF, 12-8 first month then cut down to 2-8 till desired goal is met.

[Hercul3s]

Planning to cut around 30lbs and get down to sub 9% bodyfat starting January 20th, the day after my first powerlifting comp.

[GodsParticle]

so you cutters are just going to do a simple deficit or are you going to do keto/IF?

I'm going for a simple deficit.

I try to get in cardio once a week, slowly ramp up, and also eating at 2400 calories for weight loss. Once I lose 30lb I will taper down to 2000 or 2200 calories (I hope...), might even have to get into the 1500's if i'm anal about my weight loss.

what about you man?

[1youngblood]

5'11, 190, why arent u growin?

lmao I can predict the end of your cut OP

[CamNCheese]

Looking great man! you will look even better ripped!

Thanks man! It's funny most people worry about abs when they bulk, I worry about my pecs. I already have pretty bad chest insertions so if I'm not cut they just don't seem to exist.

[stefans03]

I'm glad you're a psychic. what else can you tell me about my cut oh great one?

I'm staying on my bulk for a couple more months, not sure what to do about cutting it seems a lot more complicated. I think I'm just going to do a ~300 calorie deficit with at least 200 grams of protein a day. Anyone see anything wrong with that

Sounds pretty good man. I guess the longer cutting phases are the more size and strength you preserve.

[Domina8r]

Will never cut natty again krew checking in.....most counter productive chit ever.

[Aymen123]

Definitely in. I've lost 45 pounds the last three years (used to be obese) currently I'm at 20-22% bf but I'm sick and tired of being fat. I'm hoping to lose 8-10% bf over the next 3 months, I know it's gonna be a lot harder but I'm confident I'll pull through.

Best of luck! never give up even if its only small gains

yeah I guess I'm just gonna see where my cut takes me I don't want to lose a lot of weight. After I reach <10% BF (if I do) I'll probably do IIFYM on like a 200 calorie surplus. chit's tricky mane bulking's so easy just eat chit and lift

[HermaeusMora]

Starting my cut at the end of january have bulked since 175lbs sitting at 193 this morning if I'm close enough towards the end I'm gonna dirty bulk up to 200lbs
