    Okay, another weigh-in yesterday...weighed in at 150 lbs even. That's a 1.5 pound loss from last week. I had a pretty good feeling I would lose something this week, I felt my fat was real lose around my stomach area again, which in my case always points to fat loss. I reached my second goal of 150, but I still have some fat I want to get rid of. I have this fat on the left side of my chest that seems to be very stubbon, in fact my whole left chest is about 1-2% more bodyfat then my right. I want the left side to look just like my right chest as it is now, looks like a couple more pounds will hopefully do it. So I am going to take it weekby week now and see how I look. I really would like to get to 8-9% ideally, although I really think I need to bulk soon.

    Things I did this week:
    I kept my HIIT cardio session short, yet intense, I used the ellyptical and treadmill, I think I did 5 sessions, around 10-15 min in length. I did have 2 cheat meals, and 2 desserts, but that seemed not to hurt my progress this week as I still lost 1.5 pounds.
    I did NOT take any fat burner supplements this week.

    Things to do this week:

    I am still considering what I should take as far as a fat burner to assist in these last pounds, I now am contemplating between EC stack and redline liquid (which i already purchased) I think this week I'll pass on the fat burner, but next week I might start taking the fat burner for about 2-3 weeks maybe. if anyone has opintions feel free to let me know what would be the better route.

    So, weighed in yesterday at 148.5 lbs. That's a 1.5 pound drop from last week. I had a good feeling I would lose some weight this week. I kept the cardio intensity up with HIIT, and I also took daily doses of a fat burner (fizogen lean tabs) I took 2 in the morning, and 2 before lunchtime. I am not gonna use it this week though. I might use another fat burner next week, so I don't build a tolerance to it.

    I was thinking of cutting until the end of this month. I also am gonna finally start doing legs, my legs are looking smaller now since much of the fat is gone there. I probably will start doing legs on fridays. I really do want to bulk, but I also really want to be ripped, and I think I need to get to around 145, but ill see how I look in the mirror to make a final determination when to stop cutting.

    Week 1 - Day 1 - 174 lbs.
    Week 3 - Day 14 - 172 lbs.
    Week 4 - Day 21 - 170 lbs.
    Week 5 - Day 28 - 168 lbs. ~17.1% body fat
    Week 6 - Day 35 - 165 lbs.
    Week 7 - Day 42 - 165 lbs.
    Week 8 - Day 49 - 162 lbs.
    Week 9 - Day 56 - 161 lbs.
    Week 10 - Day 63 - 157 lbs.
    Week 11 - Day 70 - 156 lbs.
    Week 12 - Day 77 - 155 lbs.
    Week 13 - Day 84 - 153 lbs.
    Week 14 - Day 91 - 152 lbs.
    Week 15 - Day 98 - 151.5 lbs.
    Week 16 - Day 105 - 150 lbs.
    Week 17 - Day 112 - 148.5 lbs.

    So, I weighed in again yesterday, weighed in the same as last week at 148.5. I think the lack of loss weight this week was due party the fact that I had 3 cheat meals. (Fri,Sat,Sun.) each of those 3 days I had a dessert with the cheat meal...

    I did notice however that my skin tightend up sligthly around my arms, I noticed more veins protruding yesterday while doing back and bi's. Today I am gonna do an EC stack for this week, and see how it goes, I checked my bf through digital calipers, came out 9.4%. So I think I want to get to 8%, so need to lose about 3 pounds at this point. I think the EC will help knock off a pound this week. I am taking Biotek ephadrine, along with 200 mg caffine.

    Till next time...

    I weighed in yesterday at 147 lbs, a 1.5 pound loss from last week. Seems like the EC stack helped a lot, I took it once in the morning, and once before lunch. I feel kind of drained from the EC, so since yesterday I increased my carb intake. I feel pretty satisfied with the cut, although I think there is some loose skin in my mid stomach area, the skin streches out somewhat, but not too bad. So now onto my bulk, I might just update this log the same way during my cut, but havent decided yet for sure. Heres all the weight loss history again.

    Week 1 - Day 1 - 174 lbs.
    Week 3 - Day 14 - 172 lbs.
    Week 4 - Day 21 - 170 lbs.
    Week 5 - Day 28 - 168 lbs. ~17.1% body fat
    Week 6 - Day 35 - 165 lbs.
    Week 7 - Day 42 - 165 lbs.
    Week 8 - Day 49 - 162 lbs.
    Week 9 - Day 56 - 161 lbs.
    Week 10 - Day 63 - 157 lbs.
    Week 11 - Day 70 - 156 lbs.
    Week 12 - Day 77 - 155 lbs.
    Week 13 - Day 84 - 153 lbs.
    Week 14 - Day 91 - 152 lbs.
    Week 15 - Day 98 - 151.5 lbs.
    Week 16 - Day 105 - 150 lbs.
    Week 17 - Day 112 - 148.5 lbs.
    Week 18 - Day 119 - 148.5 lbs.
    Week 19 - Day 126 - 147 lbs.

    just a random update, Ive been continuing with my bulk, I did a 6 week cycle of cell mass /no explode, and during that time i went from 147 to 159. THe last couple weeks I gained an additional 3 pounds to 162. Ive been mostly eating clean foods, although i am prbably eating too many sweets on the weekends, but i definalty gained some solid mass, especially on my back and bicepts, traps improved, and ive also been working my forearms pretty hard. I think i want to get up to 170-175 before cutting back down, I think my bodyfat now is around 9-10%. I still have a 6 pack, although it is not as defined as before. I actually completely cut out cardio, i m mad at myself about that, but ive been concentrating so much on bulking its hard to balace for me, but when i m ready to cut ill be full force cardio again.

    so i put together a 8 month progress pic to show my progress. Ramadan just ended and I lost 2 pounds. I am gonna start another cycle of creatine probably in a week or 2, I am shooting to get to 170 at least. My diet has been slacking, but I am ready to clean it up and start eating the proper meals i need again at the right times.

    i started another cycle of creatine, this time using eas phos****en HP. I started on the 11th, and did the 5 days of loading. My starting weight was 165.5, and I am currently at 171.5. I notice some bload from the water weight, which is more then i anticipated. I have improved slightly in shoulder and chest excersises so far. I am planning on using the creatine till end of the year and begin a 6-8 week cut in january.

    Today I am starting my cutting program once again...I decided to start earlier then I expected since I am beginning to get more fat in the stomach area then I wanted. I did a bodyfat test myself, and came to aprx 12% at 174 lbs. not sure how accurate it was , but I'll assume its around there. This week I am taking off completely with weight training, I need rest , I injured my left shoulder and left arm, so it needs some recovery. I am just coming off a cycle of creatine (phos****en HP) I had pretty good gains especially with the traps, chest, and some decent back gains. My shoulders also increase in strength.

    Right now I am looking to cut to 160 lbs, and take it from there, goal is to lose 1-2 lbs per week...I am going to weigh myself every week any post it on here to track progress. to start off, I am going to go for 4 days cardio in the morning for 30 min on empty stomach on the treadmill or ellyptical depending on how i feel, ill increase the days of cardio as necessary, and integrate HIIT after i get my endurance back (I did cardio this morning on treadmill) I bought a precor ellyptical so ill be able to do that at home, ill prolly use mostly the ellyptical after i lose most of the fat. I am going to use a similar meal plan as i did before when i cut down. I am going to try to limit myself to one cheat meal per week, probably friday or sat. I am estimating that this cut will last about 8-10 weeks, i think the last cut i lost too much muscle, and looked to skinny overall, so i dont really want to go to that extreme this time, we'll see how it looks after i get to 160....

    Right now I am looking to cut to 160 lbs, and take it from there, goal is to lose 1-2 lbs per week...I am going to weigh myself every week any post it on here to track progress. to start off, I am going to go for 4 days cardio in the morning for 30 min on empty stomach on the treadmill or ellyptical depending on how i feel, ill increase the days of cardio as necessary, and integrate HIIT after i get my endurance back (I did cardio this morning on treadmill) I bought a precor ellyptical so ill be able to do that at home, ill prolly use mostly the ellyptical after i lose most of the fat. I am going to use a similar meal plan as i did before when i cut down. I am going to try to limit myself to one cheat meal per week, probably friday or sat. I am estimating that this cut will last about 8-10 weeks, i think the last cut i lost too much muscle, and looked to skinny overall, so i dont really want to go to that extreme this time, we'll see how it looks after i get to 160....
    You should post a current picture to help you track your cut.

    weekly update, so far cut is going well, this past weekend i had a cheat meal not too bad, it was brown rice and lots of kabobs, i weighed myself thurs , i was at 169.5 lbs. a 4.5 lbs loss, I attribute that mostly due to water weight from the creatine mono, and i think maybe 1 or 2 pounds could have been fat. I am still doin cardio in the mornin 30 min on the treadmill every other day. I feel much better starting back on the cardio, it was kinda tough the first couple but every time i go it gettin easier to run harder. Next week i m gona be traveling to chicago for business, there is a gym in the hotel, so i m gona continue the cardio as is, and try to eat as sensible as possible, i am gona pack some food so i can eat a decent lunch, and probably end up eating dinner out a restarants for the week. with weights this week, i went pretty light , as my left shoulder and elbow area is still not recovered, next week i m gona also go light jsut to get in.

    Long due update here, i know i been slackin with the update, but a lot of things going on... Anyhow, i checked my weight this past wednesday, and I was at 163 lbs. I have been continuing to do cardio every other day at this point (for 30 min) ellyptical during the week, and treadmill on the weekends. Lately i have been doin way too many cheat meals ( 1 per night on fri sat and sun), they arent extreme, but i think it may be hurting my progress. On mon-thurs i am good. The goal for the rest of this month hopefully is to get down to 160 lbs. Stomach does feel flatter, although lower stomach still needs to go, face got more defined in last few weeks, i think ill also up the cardio a little in a week or 2, and may start HIIT in march.

    So I checked my weight yesterday, down to 162 lbs. Last couple days my stomach has been looser then normal, so i know that means its ready to go soon. This week up upped the cardio and started doing it everyday, (in the afternoons), i think ill take off on the weekends. I do feel more hungry when i increased the cardio... On this cut i really am slacking on the weekends, doing more then one cheat meal typically. I know when i want to get lower in bf i cant do that much longer. I hope by the end of the month i can get down to 160 lbs. I haven't checked my bodyfat percentage recenty, so ill try to get that in on my next update.

    long due update here. I've been busy with other things, so I haven't gotten a chance to update my log, but here it goes. I've been pretty successful the last month, I encorporated HIIT for the past 2 weeks or so, and it has immediately helped a lot. I weighed myself last wednesday and I was down to 158 lbs. Stomach is much smaller, arms are getting leaner. I have been doing HIIT after I workout normally (on ellyptical mostly, sometimes on treadmill) I do a 3 minute warmup, then only 10 minutes of HIIT, but it seems to work right now, i'll be upping the length of the sessions a few min at a time. I am thinking now my next goal is to get to 155 lbs, and evaluate from there. I haven't checked my bodyfat yet, but abs are showing more now, and i can see lower abs a bit. My stomach has been loose, so fat should be breaking down soon.

    So I've been pretty busy with work and stuff, so giving another random update...I've been consistent with my weight lifting, however I haven't done cardio in a couple of weeks due to my knee pain. I went to a physical therapist and they found that my halmstrings and rear hip aread was extremely, which was causing the knee pain... So I have been doing the stretching 2 times a day for about 15 minutes. Normally i never really streched out my legs properly before or after doing cardio... I hope to get back into doing cardio within a week or 2. The stretching so far seems to be helping a lot. The pain is still there, but much less then before...

    I also will be asking the physical therapist about my left rear shoulder pain, below the shoulder blade, it just feels tight basically when i push up with chest press, and do shrugs.

    I am currently at 157 lbs and about 8-9%, my previous weight in my last update I think was a little off, the scale at the gym I go to was not very accurate, they replaced that scale since then.

    running all the time combined with no weight training or minimal weight training on the upper legs can do a number on your knees.

    once you recover, you should consider cycling, steep incline walking, or swimming for your cardio to help with your knee.

    Also, free weight squats, hamstring curls, and free weight deadlifts to a lesser extreme will help your supporting muscles around your knee support the joint/tendons/bone.

    If you feel good on your leg weight training but still want more work to help your knee, do something like yoga or any type of balance work. I find adding a bosu ball to any free weight leg exercise will get your balance up to snuff in about 2 weeks. jump rope or high stepping in place on a trampoline can help your supporting muscles as well.

    Here is a long due update...For the past few months I've been pretty much at a maintenance mode. MY rear shoulder was bothering me, but has been getting better. I was doing real light weights for awhile and slowly am increasing. I have been on and off with cardio, since my knees started bother me again (i stopped my daily streches, and it caught up to me), the weather got cold so my hamstrings got tight again, so everyday i started back up with stretching my legs. Right now my weight is at 155 lbs, and i am pretty lean still. I think the next few months I am going to remain at the same rate, and maybe do a bulk later on, but right now i still am frustrated that my rear shoulder has not healed all the way yet. Anyhow i have also been coaching a friend who just started his weight loss program, so its fun to guide him like i was a almost 2 years ago.

    I was just reading through my log and wanted to just chime in. Right now I am at 156 lbs and about 9-10% bf I believe. My typical routien now consists of 4 days a week weight training including legs, and 1 day of cardio, this seems to be working out fine for me. I've been busy with personal things, so I haven't officially done and official cut or bulk. I am basically in maintenance mode, with goals to increase strength.

    I started doing barbell bicept curls a few months ago, and noticed development of my lower bicept, and increased stength, biceps have been a weak point muscle of mine but this has helped tremendously.

    I don't have any plans as of now to do another bulk, maybe later in the winter I may do a cycle of creatine, Ideally I think my ultimate goal would be to be a solid 165 and cut, I feel whenever I weight less then 160 my strength decreases, and face gets too boney.

    Until next time...

    Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year since I updated this log...Not too much has changed in terms of my training, I've mainly kept at a maintenance level.

    This past month however I took a whole month off due to the fasting month or Ramadan, I was so busy I couldn't fit it in my schedule. I just checked my stats and I weigh 174 lbs. right now at 16.3% bf. (Ouch I gained a little weight that I shouldn't have) It's interesting that I am 174 now, and when I went on my first official "cut" over 3 years ago, I was the same weight, and about 19% bf. It's late so I dont want to calculate how much actual muscle mass I gained in the 3 years...

    So I am going to go on a mini cut right now, I want to be around 12%, my target right now is 160 lbs, so I have 14 pounds to lose.

    I am starting this cut on 9/23, and plan on going for 8 weeks to get to my goal, which should end on 11/18. I am going to stick to the basics and use the knowledge and strategies I've used in the past to reach my goal, I'll try to update the site occasionally, but can't make any promises as I've been real busy.

    Well, heres a random update on the cut, the last 2 weeks I'd say were pretty good with the exception of 2 cheat meals. 1 was planned on the weekend. The other was desert yesterday. I think it affected my weigh in today since I might be retaining some water from the desert.

    For the upcoming week I need to kick up the cardio by adding another day, currently I am doing 2 days a week cardio, I'll be doing 3 days a week from now on, I am not too pleased with the progress in the last 2 weeks, but it's all good I've been busy with a lot of other stuff, at least I did have some progress.

    Week 1 - Day 1 - 174 lbs. ~16% bf
    Week 2 - Day 8 - 169 lbs.
    Week 3 - Day 15 - N/A
    Week 4 - Day 21 - 167.5 lbs.

    You might be wondering what happened to the previous cut, well I ended up getting the flu at that time, and was out of commission for about 3 weeks, so it really messed up the cut, and I just ended up maintaining the whole winter...

    So I decided again to cut down, cut officially started yesterday (4/6). I weighed myself a few days ago at 173 lbs, I am thinking to cut down to 160. I am going to estimate this to take about 8 weeks. I checked my bodyfat also a few days ago and the results came back at 17.8%, which was higher then I expected...I want to get down to 12%, which is pretty maintainable for me.

    I will be doing weigh in's once a week, which I will weigh myself today and track my progress here.
