Confused DontStops Cutting (Another Journal)

BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS
High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com
Well, I think I'm about done with putting on muscle mass. I have all the mass I want in my legs/glutes, shoulder, and chest. The only group that needs improvement is my triceps, and even so, the exercises will be high rep with low weight. Typical? I know.

My workouts I think will be based on circuit training and my cardio will be in the hour+ range.

As for my diet? Low calorie. Wy low calorie you ask? Because I know it works for me.

When I looked like this:


It was super low calorie and alot of cardio. Except now I have more muscle mass so I'll probably lean out a bit more then the picture above

I'm going to start on Monday.

lemme ask ya a question:
Why are you going to do high rep circuit training AND high cardio. Essentially doing the same. What do you consider high rep? 10-12 rep range?
Sounds like you wanna go 'ethipian'. Have you been to a nutrtionalist and gotten some guidance on goals?

Is Canadian food different that regular food? I mean, I've been to Edmonton a few times, and it always seemed the same to me.

I guess there is more vitamin eh.

Some strength work wouldn't hard. It'll help maintain your muscle and strength and you won't get too big from it in a hypocaloric diet.

The thing about me is, is I'm one of the fortunate few who puts on muscle very easliy
I actually bulk when I do heavey weights...my quads get huge, my arms get huge. I'm a mesomorph...which is good, but a disadvantage at times, as for I want to maintain a feminine figure.

My over head presses were 15lbs per arm, 10-12 reps
kickbacks were 15lbs per arm 12 reps
front raises 10lbs per arm, about 20 reps each.
My overhead extensions were 20lbs
My lateral raises on incline was 10lbs per arm (really effin hard exercise) about 8 reps a side

I switched my dips with a reverse pulldown, and those were about 40lbs

What's your maintenance calorie intake? 1200 seems very low for week 1.

You could be in caloric deficit (hence chances of adding more mass are minimal...) but still consume more than 1200 cals.

Is 1145 calories even enough to maintain that muscle mass though?

I feel ya, trust me. I fit into that category as well.

Whats ure maintenance cal level? I am asking because I have learned from experience and from others who had been telling me all along, that we, esp. as females, are really shooting ourselves in the foot byt going too low (calory wise) too fast. It wrecks havoc on our metabolisms, fucks up our hormones and adrenals, and leaves much less room for adjustments down the road, when we hit plateaus.

Im not just talking out of my ass here.
