How often are you doing cardio?
 
What’s up bro !
I actually don’t do any formal cardio right now. Since it’s hunting season, I’m already hiking a ton every day just from being out with the dogs. On the low end I’m getting 7 to 10 miles, and most days it’s closer to 10. Even on days I’m not out there as much, I’m still hitting around 15,000 steps. And 3 to 4 days a week I’m covering a lot more because I’m running the dogs.



When I started this cut I was doing cardio, but it drained me too much on top of the walking and lifting, so I cut it out. My weight loss has been steady without it, so I don’t feel the need to add cardio back in yet. I’ll probably add it once I hit a plateau since the last few pounds can be stubborn.





Woke up at 203.6 this morning which is a new low for me. My goal is around 195 to 190 so I’m getting pretty close.
 
Today I’ll post physique update. Today is my off day, and my week starts back Sunday.
Start of comp I was 207
Today I weighted 203.8

Awesome brother. Are you taking anything else like peptides or fat burners or just straight up TRT.

Only peptide I'm running is BPC 157, no fat burners or anything else right now. Might throw some clen in, not sure yet.

For real? Sounds like I need some clen lol . I’m add it to the cycle with Anavar .

100%. Ive used it several times during a cut cycle. First time you will get jitters, hands shaking at even 40mcg. Some take it as much as 120mcg which I think its insane. I never exceeded 60mcg and I've used it many many times. Now take it two weeks on and two weeks off. Good luck.
 
Delts and upper back ✅
Not much to say everything right on track and where it’s supposed to be while strength is still increasing. Couldn’t be happier with progress. Doing my 35 mins of cardio and then going to go home and have me a pint of ice cream and relax the rest of the day. May take to the kiddo on a walk or to the park.

Cable side laterals 3x12-15
Upright rows 3x10
Machine shoulder press 3x12
Rear delt db fly 3x15
Machine lat raise 3x10
Upper back row 3x15

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
 
Leg day today. Really hit it hard, still can barely walk right now. Did all the classics; squats, leg press, hack squats, RDLs, leg extensions and curls. Gym got a new Arsenal pendulum squat machine, that thing will humble you quick! 45 lbs damn near killed me. Push day tomorrow, ready to get this week started. Good luck to all the contestants!!

I’m taking notes . Good workout. I need to start adding cardio as well.
 
Today was the start of my week, pretty much the start of my lifting week. I feel flatter than usual. My calories aren’t super low, but I was cutting for two months before this, so I think at the end of the cut I’m just getting a little tired. I’m not losing too much strength, which is good, and last time I cut I wasn’t as strong as I am now at this weight, but I can tell I’m losing a little drive in the gym. Maybe that was just today. The UFC fights were last night so maybe that threw me off a little. I’m hoping it picks back up during the week and I start getting some good pumps again because I don’t feel as vascular or pumped right now.

My brother those are some big lifts, Well done.
 
After 1 week- ive stayed the same weight. Doing 4 day split- cardio after workout 2x weekly- abs after every workout- 160 grams of protien daily... I do concrete work so even my off days are workout days in a way but it will help the challenge..just wear an extra layer to sweat

Dialed-in plan brother solid numbers across the board.
Excited to see how you respond to the Reta over the next few weeks. Keep us posted, you’re moving in the right direction. 💪
