Thread: Cutting? How long to see results?

I would say somewhere to the tune of 3-5 pounds of fat is noticeable. It's hard to say exactly because it depends how you store fat and how often you look at your body in the mirror. You're less apt to notice changes if you look at your body 5x per day.

Yea but how long before I get that Immense 6 pack I used to have ? ..I mean the abdominal muscles on the top are visible enough (+/-)...Just the waist which has gotten a bit outta proportion in my opinion

Who cares how long.....and who really knows. Just go on your cut and learn from it.

Yea, it's not the same for everybody. Just be patient and stick to it, and you shouldn't have any problems getting the results you want.

1)I care how fucking long because I want to reserve ADEQUATE Time before summer to make sure I have enough time to cut down to the required body fat.

2)Who really knows, well People here should know from past experiences, of course people will differ, but on the other hand trainers and people who have similar stats will be able to give their two cents

3)I will learn from it. No shit. But I want to get some information to optimise my "Learning Experience"

Fuck...I know other people think you are an asshole....but I never honestly thought that before...Christ I was wrong.

True story


18% to 10% exactly how many lbs of weight is the change???
What is your exact diet????
What are your maintance calories????
When do you want to hit 10%...exact day and month?????????????????


answer this and maybe we have something to work with here.
if not then you are asking us to just blindly guess.

firstly I would just like to say that the Questions Which come after "True Story" was an Edit.

18% - 10% (Well I did give my Weight) Therefore I wanna cut of 17lbs +/-

Exact Diet isn't completely necessary at this point, As I said previously it will be CLEAN and sub maintanance calories

When do I want to hit it ? Well That's what I am Asking FFS, WHEN DO YOU THINK I WILL HIT IT ? I would like to do it in 1 day, but that is not gonna happen...that's why I am asking for a realistic time period FFS.

I would guess 6-9 weeks depending on how far below your maintenance calories you go.

IMO this is a bad calculation. If you want to retain LBM, from what I have been reading, you cut 1-1.5 LB's a week at the most. So in 9 weeks at 1.5 LB's a week, you would loose 13.5 LB's, hardly enough to get you down to 10%.

Sounds like 2 months and a half +/- ...90 days =13 weeks +/-

That's about how long I'm giving myself to get ripped...I should only be around 13% +/- and want to be between 7 and 9% in or around may. So I'm starting a cut in late march/early april....but I will also be doing a prop/tren cutter around this time too, to facilitate the retention/gain of LBM and the loss of fat. So let's say I gain 10lbs of muscle and lose 10lbs of fat (how possible that is I don't know) then I will weigh the same but will have a considerably lower BF%.

You could probably get away with 2 pounds per week for the first few weeks, but then I would scale back to 1-1.5 after a few weeks. Also, you will probably lose more the first week because of decreased water retention and lower amounts of glycogen being stored.
