Cutting Results

AaronM · 06-10-2006, 03:54 PM

I just finished my cut. I bulked totally wrong and gained 75% fat and only 25% muscle. So, I decided to cut down and start over.

I starting by eating 2500 calories for week 1 and slowly decreased it to 1700 calories on week 12. I did 20 minutes of HIIT cardio right in the morning before eating 3-4 days a week. I had one cheat day every week. My macros were 50/20/30 prot/carb/fat.

I supplemented with ephedrine, caffeine, and Red Acid. It worked out very well. Here are the week by week results:

Weight BF% Lean Body Mass
3/20: 166.5 10.379 150
3/27 166 10.379 149
4/2 164.5 9.927 149
4/10 162.5 9.776 147
4/17 162.5 9.776 147
4/24 159 8.864 145
4/31 158.5 7.943 146
5/8 159 7.943 146.5
5/15 156.5 6.859 146
5/22 158.5 7.015 148
5/29 156.5 6.703 147
6/5 157.5 6.547 148

Final Results: 7 pounds of fat loss and almost no muscle loss. I believe that the two pounds of LBM loss are credited to water loss due to glycogen depletion. Attached is a picture of me now.

very impressive, not sure how you survived 1700 cals.

Nice to see hard work paying off, good job Aaron!

Nice job man. Although I'd like to see the same shot at the start cause you didn't have $hit to lose in the first place

Good work though.

Very very lean. Awesome work getting that lean with so little LBM loss.

Now this time around cleaner bulk.
