This wont be a very well updated log for a while as I dont have too much time at the present. I will add info when I can.
This last cycle was a 12 week cut that hasnt exactly gone as planned. I came from a very successful bulk in which I gained very little fat, but I didnt behave during SD and doubled my fat gain. It stemmed from a over estimation of my maintenance cals. It was supposed to be a slow bulk but I ended up gaining 1.3lbs/wk for 10 weeks. Luckily 11lbs was LBM.
This cut was supposed to make me lose 1-1.5lb/wk and its been more like 0.5-0.8. The good news is that the unintentionally slow cut has allowed me to boost up my strength somewhat. Halfway through I had to cut out curls due to a forearm injury. It seems to have completely healed, but I am going to give it till next cycle.
I aimed for about 1950cals, but Fitday has me at 2250cals avg. This doesnt include days that I went out to eat and have no nutritional info for. I am sure I went way over on those days too.
Exercise Routine
Tues/Thurs/Sat
4min cardio machine warmup (stopped in the last few weeks)
Squat/Deadlift (tried box squating (very low) with a PR and found out that it seems a bit harder than standard)
Pullups (In the last 2 weeks I altd. these with pendlay rows)
OHP (Turned into a push press towards the end)
Pendlay Row (see pullups)
Incl Bench/Dips
Ext rotator
Oblique machine (dropped @wk8)
Ab machine (dropped@wk8)
Full body stretches (20sec static+10sec isometric)
4min cardio machine cooldown (dropped halfway thorugh)
Power cleans/Power snatches form training (picked up in the last 2 wks to train for next cycle)
Will add more later.
