DP's Slow Cut to Preserve LBM

I know...have to go......sys :)

Most times I'd take the Pain to level 6 and back off......I'm trying to train smarter now a days! :D

My Physical Therapist knows better that to ever say "Stop"....he tells me to go for mild Pain and then back off....what he doesn't understand is my definition of Mild Pain! :lol:

Hey DP!

Sorry to hear the quad still hurts. I hope it feels better soon. At least you get to work out my gym is closed until after the new year. I am hoping my friends rehabilition gym is open this week when I go home for Christmas so I can workout there if not I'm screwed.

Well, I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year! I leave tomorrow for NH and won't be back until after the new year and I probably won't be online. So

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Oh yeah, are you still planning a group Cut after the New Year. I hope so, I'm gonna need some extra motivation and nothing better than cutting as a group! :thumb:

Thanks Jodi! :D

Yes....it's a bad injury...but I had a good W/O (Wussy but good), I'll post that next. A group cut would be killer.....butI'm bummed that the BULK was not as successful as I hoped for, damn people with Body Dysmorphia....they should not be allowed in a BULK! LOL :D



Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You Too!!!

BW = 219....which means I probably hit 200 pounds of LBM at 222-223....a long time goal, and am just under that now! :D

So my W/O (only cuz you asked for it, to see how I work around my injury, lol)

1a Leg Extensions, super light 20 reps times 3 sets
1b Back Squats, bar only, 10 reps...3 sets 90 sec RI

2a Fronts squats, bar only 10 reps, 3 sets
2b Sissy squats, 2 sets no w8, one holding a 25 plate (got deep w/o Pain, was amazed) 10 reps, 90 sec RI

3a 1 and 1/4 squats, bar only 10 reps, 3 sets
3b Lying leg curls at 50% normal w8 80/10 100/10 120/10 90 sec RI

4a Reverse calf raise, some call it toe raises, dorsal flexion, etc 4 sets of 15 reps
4b Free Motion machine calves (best lateral tibia hit there is) 15/180 15/220 15/260 15/300 ..no RI

5 Seated calf raise,sets of 2 plates/15, 3 P/15, 4P/15 , then a quadruple drop 4P/12 3P/10 2P/8 1P/25...partner RI

6 Standing Smith calf raises......to spent at this point so P=25 not 45#, per side, sets of 1P/15, 2P/15. 3P/15 4P/15...then a quadruple drop 4P/12. 3P/8, 2P/8 1P/1...partner RI

Calves cramped when I stepped out of the car 15 minutes later! :D :p


DP

(so 18 sets for legs, 18 for calves....unless you count SS's as one set) :p....totally wussy :lol:
 
DP if you plan on starting a group cut before I get back,

COUNT ME IN!

Happy Holidays
Jodi
 
Just to "let it be known".....the stress of the season, the Holiday....which was just a mild hum in my head until a moment ago......is now a loud fucking BUZZ! :lol:

Having gone through bouts of "minor" mental illness over the years.....I can feel anxiety, depression, anger, paranoia...etc all at once.....totally related to the stress! It's actually hard to think clearly when I get this way.......I hope my W/O saves me. :D

I think the only hope......is to start the mental timer.......40 hours or so.....and everything will be alright! :D

K...for some reason...today is "Fucking Huge Torso Day"....legs looked good, shoulders arms chest decent.......but I looked like I ate a cow, my midsection being just too thick! Problem is...doesn't feel like bloat :lol:

So I have an interesting conversation with WARLORD (National level competitor)...........he asks me seriously what's the value in bulking. He said...when you cut...you just lose it all anyway (he has made a consistant 8 pound per year increase). Went on to say, he's tried it all........Massive w8 gain, Mini's, staying Lean...adding muscle...........bottomline....Purest Bulking just doesn't make sense to him anymore. He's gonna stay lean and add LBM the slow drawn out way....and look good doing it! :thumb:

Those that have followed my postings know that I consider "off season" bulking (20-60 or more pounds)..."Old School", and that I consider Mini-Cycles...the way to go (New School).........but it dawns on me, as I feel the fat I've recently accummul8ed saying to me...."I'm gonna be a bitch to get off"........that even the idea of 5 weeks....was too long...at least for me! :D

Thanks! You have fun too......I have so much respect for you Wing/O on Christmas day....wish I could....may do abs at home.... may not :p

Tomorrow.......I plan on kicking my own ass! :D :p


DP
 
Oh...that sucks...our gym was open 10-2, and even if it weren't, we still have our free backup at the college, open 24/7 :D
 
OK...the BULK ended a while OK.......but now it's "Official" :p


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CUT starts here:

BW 12/26/02

220.5

BF est 9.5% (anticip8 skinfolds 1/6/03)

Goals: 1/6/03 be in the 8's @ 216 or above

2/3/03 to be in the 7's @ 212 or above

3/3/03 in the 6's @ 208 or above


Since I haven't weighed this much in years.......those are "minimal goals", as I don't know what to expect. I have allowed for not quite 40/60 loss of LBM with BF.........but I may surprise myself and end up at 6% and 212, who knows :confused:

DP
 
Why?

After all that work gaining, why not try a truley SLOW cut. One where you look to preserve ALL LBM?

Now that would be interesting and worthwhile to follow.

C'mon, DP! Anyone can lose fat AND muscle!

Hell, I'd do it with you except I am still bulking. Well, actually I am doing a 2 week mini-cut starting next week in which I hope to lose 5 poounds and then spend a few months adding muscle AND losing fat -- by watching kcals and supplementing with 1Test and 4AD through a series of mini-cyclesl but I digress.

If you lose 8 pounds of fat, you will be 212 at 6%. Certainly you, DP, can lose oh 1/2 pound per week? That would put you into April. Is can extra 6 weeks or so not worth it? After all, when you get back to 6% you'll look to add LBM without the fat right?

LOSS THAT WEIGHT AND KEEP ALL THE MUSCLE! I challange you!
 
:clap: Yeaaahh Count me in on the cut as well!
