Day 32 of “The Cut ‘08″
Yeah baby, I’m definitely seeing some results now. I’m down to 199lbs (I weighed the last 3 days coming in at 199 and a 1/4 to 199 and 3/4, so its a reliable weight). I beleive that is about a 6 or 7 pound loss in 31 days. I’m struggling to keep my workout energy (not to mention my focus at work). Cutting is hard work! I guess that’s why there are so few people who are ripped huh? This morning I really needed to focus at work so I went ahead and drank some coffee with a couple packs of sugar in it to boost my blood sugar for a while…but I’ll put a few more minutes on my cardio tonight to ‘try’ to make up for it. On another note, my bench strength has jumped up a bit, I’ve gone from repping 225 6 or 7 times to 11 times! It really suprised me as I’m working out with a very low carb intake. The only thing I can attribute this to is the novedex, cell mass and activate stack Im running. I began loading creatine when I started the cut, and this is the second week of novedex. I beleive that novedex takes about 2 or 3 weeks to up test - so that would put it right on time.
I’m still thinking that the top four abs could be very visible by mid August. My napalm is in the mail, and should arrive sometime next week. I have read some good reviews on the product and I think it will speed the process a bit. I feel like I am doing about 90% of what my body is capable of as far as my workouts go. If I worked out with any more frequency or intensity (training length) I would be cutting into my 8 hour sleep period.
While my focus is to bring out my abs, I have also been directing the focus of my weight training toward bringing up some of my weak points: Thighs, calves, lower and upper chest, and middle back (rhomboids) and the forearms.
My diet has been VERY consistent except for the addition of a gatorade (the small one) and some sugar in my coffee on busy mornings (I dont go over board though, one or two small packets is where I draw the line for the day) to bring up my concentration level…my job is more improtant than cutting!! Haha.
I have run out of the Zero Impact bars by VPX - I have two more boxes on order. I’m really missing those extra calories that I was getting from those! I haven’t replaced them with anything else as my options here are limited when it comes to healthy snacks.
