Cutting sucks!

**Built** · 07-16-2010, 12:28 AM

190 and 10% means you carry 170 lbs of lean and you're a category I - so between 260g amd 340g protein, under 50g carb, minimal fat.

Two short full body workouts a week (use the one in my homework 1 post, linked in my sig under "getting started"). Up to an hour of walking or other modest cardio daily.

12 days of this, then a two-day carb refeed.

Day 1: low fat, modest protein, carb between 700 and 1000g
Day 2: low fat, modest protein, carb between 350 and 500g

1g potassium
1g calcium
500mg magnesium
10g fish oil
Multi
1g vitamin C

I think if you're not trying to build more or on your way to another goal, more people find it easier to live life at a lighter weight than a heavier weight - its like being a little sleeker and more streamlined. It might be that you'd need to condition your body to operate and easily maintain, say 8%, but its more what YOU and YOUR BODY are comfortable with. Just visualizing at 6'1" and 242, that's decently beefy!

aahhh now that hurts, fatty, no jk, iam not there yet sassy but my bodyweight is down from 270 to 250 with 10- 15 lbs water weight. iam on bulk now so iam at 13-14 bf% i want to get to 242 at about 6% bf for my competition. my trainer says its possible but i cant imagine that even being possible but i just put out there 10% bf to see the reaction. do you think its possible, skinny, no your muscular. thnx

Also, should any protein come from a supplement like whey?

**Built** · 07-16-2010, 10:22 AM

Whey is fine. You may feel "fuller" on solid food, but whey is fine.

What kind of deficit would you run on this for 12 days? That's a long time to go without refeed, isn't it?

And god damnit! I can't imagine eating 1000g carbs in one day. Wow.

**Built** · 07-16-2010, 11:11 AM

What kind of deficit depends upon the individual's maintenance calories. Read Lyle's RFL, it's all in there.

**rockhardly** · 07-16-2010, 11:32 AM

After the first refeed, would you repeat if you still have fat you wanna lose?

And, yah, 1000g of carbs is alot. What kinda things are recommended here?

**rockhardly** · 07-16-2010, 11:35 AM

Never mind. I picked it up from your response to Phineas' thread "Sample 500-1000g Refeed"

**rockhardly** · 07-22-2010, 07:01 AM

I started PSMF on Monday July 19. My first day was not that great. My wife made lasagna and I could not resist. Anyways, below is what I have done so far.

My workouts have been pretty good, especially considering the deficit. Fullbody on Monday, sprints on Tuesday, and Fullbody on Wednesday.

July 19 190#
cals: 1,490 fat: 51.1 carbs: 87.7 protein: 163.0

July 20
cals: 1,702 fat: 73.4 carbs: 20.6 protein: 226.6

July 21 188#
cals: 1,606 fat: 76.5 carbs: 5.9 protein: 210.9

I am having trouble getting more potein than what I have listed so I am going to start using whey as a substitute.

Any thoughts, Built?

**Built** · 07-22-2010, 07:28 AM

Whey is fine. You can also try shredding a poached chicken breast into consomme with veggies and soy sauce. Voila - soup!

**premo** · 07-22-2010, 07:51 AM

something else that is way underestimated but important to mention is hydration imo.. i always feel slugish and weak when i de hydrated

**rockhardly** · 07-22-2010, 08:11 AM

What do you think about the macros listed?

**Built** · 07-22-2010, 02:52 PM

July 21 looked fine.
