How do I cut?

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 08:40 AM

Right now my exercise is:
5k run every day
5 sets of 50 leg lifts
5 sets of 40 push ups
5 sets of 15 pull ups
5 sets of 10 Military press's

(I do this EVERY day, and maybe add a few things depending on what I'm feeling)

The average diet:
Breakfast: Bagel or Bread(Something with carbs to give me energy through out the day, that is what carbs are for right?

)
-------Always take 1 scoop Whey Protein /w breakfast.

Lunch: Usually skipped, if not it's like breakfast something with a few carbsand some protein like a peanut butter sandwich.

After School Snack: This is usually around 5:00 and is something like a sandwich again(I'm a creature of habbit, I don't change it up much)
--------I take 2 scoops of naNO Vapor with this and 1 scoop Whey Protein, wait 45 minutes then go for my 5k run. When I get home from the run is when I start my work out.

Dinner: Usually some chicken(boiled) and a no-fat yogurt.

I drink about 1 1/2 or 2 gallons of water a day(someone told me that was good for cutting)

I guess what I'm asking is what more can I do or should I change? If you need any more information just post and I'll get it up asap.

Cheers in advance!

She has AUH-Mazing abs.. 'nough said.

1. Read the stickies...

2. Built has much more muscle mass than you. YOU cannot CUT to built's abs. You need to bulk then cut later to get her abs

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 08:50 AM

Damn

Talk about your bummers.

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 08:55 AM

Ok the Refeeds and Liptin post said to have a "Refeed" day every 4-5 days which is a Carbs day.

What does that mean I should be eating those other days?

*** READ ME FIRST - Homework #1 for Newbies ***

Im pretty sure ive posted this for you before.

Read EVERY single god damm question and post the answer. If you dont im going to assume your not serious about you goal, and you dont deserve any further help.

This process is not that complicated, but what you are currently doing is terrible. You need a rethink. More info after answers.

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 09:02 AM

The only thing I didn't provide that Built said to post was Calories/Protein/Fat grams per day, I can't do that right now but I will as soon as I get home.

If I wasn't serious I wouldn't be asking for help..

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 09:08 AM

I also did the fat calculator(if this helps any)

This is what it says:

At 140 lbs, trying to lose 1lb per week(going from 10% BF to 5-6% BF) I will hit my goal at 132lbs. Meaning a 500 calorie a day deficit, my daily calorie requirement is 1,628.

It also says I'm 126lbs of lean mass.

Anything else I'm missing?

The fact that you shouldnt be cutting. 140lbs cutting to 132????

Ive got some uni work to do, ill post more info later on.

**xfile384** · 03-13-2009, 09:42 AM

Yeah, your trying to weigh 132lbs and your on a bodybuilding forum...

**OuiSwim** · 03-13-2009, 04:23 PM

Its still building muscle, Its just losing fat. So technically I am at the right place?

**Merkaba** · 03-14-2009, 08:25 PM

You won't be building muscle bro. Keep reading.

**T_man** · 03-15-2009, 06:46 AM

You want abs to look atractive to the opposite sex right??
Would you really look attractive with such little muscle mass, or mass generally (you cant have abs with fat mass so i said muscle).
Think about it carefully before you decide to starve your body and push it to extremes with that exercise.

You do realize you CANNOT build muscle and lose fat at the same time right? It is impossible. The only way to build muscle is to eat MORE calories than your body requires to maintain. The only way to lose fat is to eat less calories than your body requires. Therefore you can only pick one or the other to do at one time. Hence cutting periods and bulking periods

**Skib** · 03-15-2009, 01:13 PM

what are you trying to cut? you should seriously reconsider your goals...

**jhawkin1** · 03-16-2009, 08:52 PM

You already have some good abs...Bulk up (the right way) with clean foods and a slight caloric surplus to avoid gaining too much fat with your bulk.

**OuiSwim** · 03-17-2009, 08:41 AM

Thanks, but due to tearing my urethra Friday I'm going to have to take a break from all suplements for 2 months and I can't lift heavy weight..

**juggernaut** · 03-17-2009, 08:44 AM

happens to me all the time.

**OuiSwim** · 03-17-2009, 08:46 AM

You tear your Urethra all the time?!
You do know what that is correct? Tearing it is NOT a good thing

**juggernaut** · 03-17-2009, 08:56 AM

uh dude...I'm kidding.

**OuiSwim** · 03-17-2009, 08:59 AM

Ok I was like o_O!
Whatever you're doing to tear it you should stop...but no worries.

**CORUM** · 03-17-2009, 09:18 AM

built's avatar aaaah, yeah i think everyone here wants her abs. thats probably why everyone listens to her. and i think built will tell you to eat!!!! but hope you reach your goals. but 132???

**OuiSwim** · 03-17-2009, 09:25 AM

Ya I saw the same thing, and after thinking I was like wait..F that. I'm eating a lot more now I weighed in two days ago at 144lbs so I'm adding weight, still at 9% BF though.
I was trying for the 8 pack but I need to build up pecs and biceps/triceps if you look at my picture I think you would agree haha.

**T_man** · 03-17-2009, 10:01 AM

Shoulders
shoulders can make or break a physique. Always remember to work them they make you look best imo.

Technically it's possible to burn fat and lose muscle but it's nearly impossible. You will need the latest scientific gadgets and a really experienced personal trainer for it, which I'm guessing, because I don't know you and you're not famous, you can't afford

**CORUM** · 03-17-2009, 10:53 AM

yeah Tman right, round shoulder make or break a build. vin diesel has pretty good shoulders i think, but no traps. also this will blow your mind, your at 9% built told me she was at 12% in that pic. i was like WTF???? made me feel like a whale

**sexy_animal** · 03-17-2009, 11:15 AM

A 132lbs male? Hmmm... How tall are you? My girl weighs around 130 @ 5'9"...

that is your problem, you're trying to "cut" with a high volume training routine, bodybuilders get ripped by their diet, they continue to train with heavy weights, you're going about it all wrong.

also, in your pic you look pretty damn lean, so I am a bit confused on your goal.

**juggernaut** · 03-17-2009, 12:23 PM

5x40 pushups? WTF?

**juggernaut** · 03-17-2009, 12:27 PM

start eating a lot of peanut butter, steak and oatmeal. Dont be afraid of fat. You need more mass. You're already lean. Put some fat on.

Squats, deads, cleans, snatch, benches should be the mainstay right now.

This is just my two bits.
