Hi all I've been cutting for about 3 month going from 196.2lbs at 6 foot 2 to my weight of this morning 180.6lbs eating average 2000 cals a day. I've been doing my own thing in terms of working out and just focusing mostly on compound movements. My goal now is to slowly increase calories while following a proper structured program (fierce 5) starting around maintenance calories and increasing calories when needed to continue to progress. Thanks for reading

I'm at 184lbs mate but I've been taking creatine for a few weeks which puts a few lbs on you. I'm loosely tracking calories. I'm around the 3000 mark or slightly less. I'm just eating to fuel my workouts, eating til satisfied but focusing on proper food. Plenty fruit/veg, eggs, fish, meat, wholegrains. Main focus is on getting these lifts up as much as possible. See where I can get my lifts by Jan/Feb and then I'll cut again

Sorry very late reply, I keep forgetting you switched your log over here lol.
It is going pretty well now that my back is back to normal again. I just finished week 5 yesterday. I have added lots of weight to my lifts so far, but starting to slow quite a bit now. I think it is going to be hard for me to continue to add weight every week while in such a big calorie deficit. BUT I will keep trying and do what I can do. Ready to be done with this cut but sadly think I have several months left to go lol.

Cheers mate, I'm working out at home as gym is hard to get booked into now as they've lessened the numbers allowed in and also I think we're close to going into that tier 3 chit. I've been ill since Wednesday but still did Wednesdays workout. Haven't had much sleep either as my 2 year old has been getting up screaming on at 3am most of this week so I've just been getting up with him. I'm Doing yesterday's workout today despite still being a bit ill. My parents are taking the kids tonight so at least I can catch up on a bit sleep which should help. I also keep topping up weights and stuff if I find anything affordable on ebay

Looking like good consistency man, swear you've got the commitment of a damn soldier :P Sucks about being ill, hate when that happens, always wondered if constant recovery from lifting is bad for the immune system...
How are you finding fierce 5?Somehow still managing to avoid getting 'too big'

Haha it's an addiction now. I feel terrible if I miss a workout. As you can see I've slightly deviated from fierce 5. Tweaked it to my personal preferences. I'm constantly pushing myself but I'm being more clever about it now and if I feel like I need to skip a set for the day then I will. Aslong as im still progressing it doesn't matter. I'm listening to my body more now as well because like you, I have realised constantly pushing and pushing without listening to your body will end up effecting the immune system. Feeling rundown and colds etc
