❄️❄️ Winter is for Cutting ❄️❄️ --- WED ↔️ AA Solutions (Non-Sponsored)

I have one daily. Mine is making some weird noises at time, like I need to grease it somewhere. Worried it's gonna shit out on me
Good to know I've been debating getting a back up one
I got mine at Sam's and it went out before the 90 day return policy. They took it back no questions asked.

The threads on the rod that comes down and spins the blade stripped out.

Both of mine sounded like they were going to blow apart so, I think it's just what it is. The new version seems like it's a bit better made but, it's quite a bit more expensive.
 
Wk1 D5 -- 2nd Leg's workout. Didn't really do much quad work on vacation and my quads were pretty sore. Avoiding pinning quads b/c of this.

Filmed a few sets, really trying to make sure I slow down all my lifts. One bigger focus I'm trying to make. I consistently get a deep stretch on most lifts, but making trying to take a beat at the bottom of most exercise. Little focus things

Weight: ↔️ 243.8 (0.0)
Steps: ✅ 16,000
Calories/Macros: ☑️ 2403. 261/173/59 -- Energy has been pretty solid on low-ish carbs.
Got in an evening ab workout. Cable Crunches and leg raises. I'll add a rotation and ab wheel next week.

W1D6 - 2nd Back workout. Try to alternate between Lats focused on Pull day then Upper/Mid back the 2nd. Bought a chest supported row before thanksgiving and really like. Feel it so much more than just seated rows.

Weight: ⬇️ 243.6 (-0.2)
Steps: 🚶‍♂️ 17,000
Calories/Macros: ☑️ 2404. 252/224/69

Rest Day. Started doing some carb cycle this fall and will continue. Sunday's will be low net carbs. Maybe around half my normal training days. Seems like the science is ambiguous if it works or not...but gonna try to do it this entire cycle.

Low Carb (it's 90% fiber) Buffalo Chicken Pizza

I do a pretty macro-friendly buffalo chicken pizza and fit it into my meal plan every so often. Yours looks damn good!

I had more chicken and cheese than normal. Zero cal Ranch seasoning and wing sauce helps

Week 1 of 20: Completed. 🎉

Scaled finally down and ended down 2.4lbs. Body probably trying to find a bit of a balance with a decent deficit plus an influx of AAS compounds trying to fill the muscle with glycogen.

✅ Lifted 6x - Good intensity, set the floor. New equipment feeling good. Ready to track and get 💪
✔️ Steps 🚶‍♂️ - 15k+ a day achieved. Got a new watch. Steps seem to track at about 80% of my old watch. Might have to slightly adjust target, but if I'm walking 7-8 miles a day, that should be fine. Walked 4 miles every morning fasted and 6 today.
🏁 Calories/Macros. Nailed 2400 a day (2200 today) pretty easily. I'll try to stay here for a minute, especially through the holidays until it impacts performance/energy.
🚫 Cardio - Wanted 3 sessions a week of Jump Rope, Rowing, or some HIIT. Did 0. Busy work week and worked to 630 multiple times this week
❓Abs - 2 out of 3 - I'll get 3 this week

Weight Tracking -- I'll add a 7 day daily average after this week for another data point.

Sunday
Weight: ⬇️ 242.4 (-2.4)
Steps: 🚶‍♂️ 18,000
Calories/Macros: ☑️ 2208 - 266/125/90. Net Carbs much lower
 
Monday: Week2 Day1

😱 Weight: 230.6. (-4.4) - Scale starting to move a lil bit more as my body adjusts and is figuring out what to do.
👟 Steps: 16,800
🆎 ✅ Cable Crunches, Leg Raises, Ab Roller
🎯 Cardio: 20 minutes on the Rower.
💪 Lifting: Most lifts up in either reps or weight. Really focused on keeping my elbows tucked on Incline Smith Bench. Connection to upper chest is much improved and def hard vs fairing them out. Caught myself once towards the end of a set.

Holidays are going to be interesting. Starting this week I have a work dinner Tuesday (already targeted seared Tuna), friends dinner Thursday, then a family gathering Saturday that is usually endless unhealthy food. Gotta stay strong and want to push hard these last 3 weeks and get to new year as close to 220 as I can get.

That'll give me 14 weeks and hopefully land 195-200. Expect the weight loss to slow a little bit after the first initial dump of excess food and fluids are out of my body
 
Week 2 Day 2 - I've got a work team dinner tonight. Targeting some ahi tuna and orzo meal. Have an extra ~100 calories for butter/sauces/bread. Hopefully will be pretty close. Reta/Cargril crushing my appetite. Couldn't/didn't want to eat my last 50 calories last night. Bloat falling off and weight dropping in chunks the last 3 days...expected that to happen more in week 1. Energy staying strong 10 days in at 2400 cals. 220 by the 1st week of Jan is the goal for this first 4 week excessive cut.

⬇️ Weight: 228.4 (-6.4)
🥚 Macros: 2350. 280/224/42
🦵 Leg workout. Everything up except struggled hard on Leg Curls. Not sure why, but got higher reps on the 1st set, but then struggled to hit last 2/3 sets.
🚶‍♂️ 16,0000 steps. 4 miles this morning in 21* weather was annoying. Gonna warm up a little soon
 
Wk2D3 - No Apps at the work team dinner, avoided alcohol. Pretty much stopped drinking this year outside of vacations. It helps the mental state so much.

⚖️ Weight: 228.2 (-6.6) - Steadily downward
🥦 Macros: Might of been a little over, some fruit and nuts in the orzo. NBD tho
💪 Pull Day - Weight or reps up except lat pullovers. Just blew ass on them, was last back exercise
🚶‍♂️ Steps - 17,500
 
Wk2D4

Added some Tbol to the mix. Usually have done well with orals and keep the dosage lower. 30-50mg

LBs/Bloat is dripping off. Wish it was 8lb of fat in 11 days :D

⚖️ Weight: 226.4 (-8.4) - Weight dropping in decent chunks.
🥦 Macros: consistentlyat 2400 and 245/240/50 ish
💪 Push Day -Up in reps and weight on everything
🚶‍♂️ Steps - ?? Watch died, but should be consistent with my other days. 4 miles in the morning then a ~2 mile walk in the afternoon

I've got an In Laws Christmas this weekend....last hurdle before Christmas week
 
This and the reverse hyper are must haves.
I'm out of room in my garage. Unless I move the dog bed and kick my workout buddy out of the room, I'm stuck with hammy curls, SLDLs and kick backs and some forward foot squats
 
Ain't that a good feeling?
Little veins that pop in when you're lean out is nice...."Oh I've never seen that vein in my lat"

Wk2D5 - 10.2LBs lost 🎉

🎯 Weight 234.8-->>224.6 (-10.2lbs) - Vascularity coming in areas. Looking thinner in the mirror. Usually dumb a bunch of fluids the first 2 weeks. Probably slow down a bit, but I'll ride this downward trend as long as I feel good energy wise.
🦵Day - Felt pretty tired after my walk, but lift was overall pretty good. Up on everything, either sets or weight.
🚶‍♂️ Steps: 16,500 at 2pm. Probably get another 1,500 in so call it 18,000
🥞 Calories: 2410. 267--269--53

Had a huge craving for something sweet last night.
 
Lat trying to peak around. Looking leaner overall. Shoulders always the first thing to round out a little more.

Need to take some back pics. Got a tripod with push button trigger. I'll need to figure out how to pose and flex my back. No clue how to do this lol. I've tried and I def can't feel it.

Love handles are gonna be nasty from the reverse.

Wk2D6 - 10.2LBs lost 🎉

🎯 Weight 234.8-->>225.6 (-9.2lbs) - Scale up a little, but probably expected after the last 6 days of huge drops
Pull Day - All up in weight or reps.
🚶‍♂️ Steps: 15,000 Had to drive 2.5 hours each way to inlaws.
🥞 Calories: ✅ got my protein goal in. ❌ Rest of it. Got to gathering and zero non-fried meats outside of turkey deli lunch meat. Had 900 calories left in the day. Tried to eat mostly deli turkey/mustard/pickles then cucumbers, carrots, celery from the veggie try with a light dusting of ranch......but the Chick-fil-a nuggets took a hit, then the damn chocolate covered pretzels and sweats. One meh day out of 14 isn't awful. Sunday is a low carb cycling day anyways.

Shitty first attempt at a back double bi. Not square to the camera, lighting kinda sucks in garage, Don't think my hands are rolled back enough. Lower back fat 🤮

I think I have an imbalance in my right side, especailly upper back under my trap. Could be how I stand/posture, but I've seen it before
