How's the cut going?

JJayoo · 21-10-2016 3:32pm

Morning weight has been 14 s 3lb for the last month, but this stall has been intentional as I wanted to go into maintenance mode for a bit. Gonna hop back on the cut train from Monday.

The belt has made a huge difference, makes me sooooo much more aware of my body position.

Had to do a huge warm-up as I felt like sh1t, hams and back incrediblly tight from yesterdays expedition up the mountain.

Nice!

How's the belt feeling?

JJayoo · 12-11-2016 12:04am

I'm liking the belt, still trying to find the perfect placement for it. Keeping my head up is another thing I'm trying to enforce, I used to always look down and visually judge my dept.

Squats are very slowly moving in the right direction, I feel my hamstrings are finally on board and peace has defended on squatville.

The fact that my squats are going up during the cut while all other lifts have dropped just shows how undertrained they were

Alf Veedersane · 19-11-2016 10:56pm

I lost my pictures from when I was 17 stone

Anyhow current morning weight is 13 stone 8 pounds.

No idea how to embed on my phone

It doesn't auto-embed too well on the phone
Also, I think you re being a bit stingey with your BF estimate. Less than 14% imo, maybe under 12%

More shoulder mobility stuff

Was stretched for time so a bit all over the place. Have seen a definite crossover between dip strength and OHP. From this session I think a BW x 5 is Def possible for BB OHP.

Nice mini ghettoblaster on the locker!

Would agree with Mellor that 14% would seem to be high.

I'd call that a good cut so far! Jesus though...17 stone!

JJayoo · 11-05-2017 11:07pm

Ya I spent about 15 months trying to eat as much as humanly possible, the dirtiest bulk imaginable, I had pictures but deleted them all by accident

And that video is taken in the most ridiculously complementary lighting imaginable, energy saving light bulbs = gainzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah but lighting doesn't make those veins around your delts pop.

Next year you should do Operation Transformation for the craic. Bulk for 6 months, apply, cut, win.

How do you find your strength now, at your current weight, compared to when you were the same weight before your big bulk? Hope that makes sense!

JJayoo · 27-05-2017 12:37am

With me it's hard to judge strength as I usually jump from one main lift to another so for my push workouts I will focus on BB OHP for a few months then jump to dips then dumbbell bench press. A lot of this jumping has to do with the fact that I train in my shed and don't have access to certain equipment, for example I don't have bumpers for deadlifts or a suitable setup for benching, tho I can do this at the local football pitch gym.

So it's hard for me to think back and compare strength levels before I bulked but I do believe I am carrying more muscle now and definitely feel a lot stronger. One think I remember very clearly is how quickly my strength shot up once I began to gain the weight, more weight = bigger Foundation to push from.

I actually have a video from before my bulk and I do seem bigger now although I don't have the weight recorded, bit maybe I posted it on this log Hmmm will check

So I'm sure that doesn't in anyway answer your question lol

New squat stance is here to stay

Alf Veedersane · 28-05-2017 10:28pm

How wide is the new stance?

I used to have a pretty narrow stance bit widened it out a bit. Trying to get the balance of the extra bit of muscular involvement and what feels strong.

JJayoo · 28-05-2017 10:50pm

Distance between feet is about the length of your average wombat.

It's not super wide, just wider than any stance I have tried before. It feels weak but smooth.

Alf Veedersane · 28-05-2017 11:03pm

I think you might be confusing a wombat with a koala but I get it

JJayoo · 29-05-2017 11:17pm

An hour of random arm rubbish supersetted with shoulder mobility drills.

Gonna try and increase my Squat/Bench/deadlift and possibly take part in a comp near the end of the year. I feel that having a goal in mind will help keep me motivated, especially since I train alone.

Not even sure of the weight classes, does it jump from 83 --90?

I was planning to bulk again but this time very conservativly, no more dirty bulks.

Alf Veedersane · 30-05-2017 12:55am

<74, <83, <93

Doesn't really matter what you go in at. If you're 84, just lift in 93s and go for the biggest total rather than try cut to 83s
