Day 39 of “The Cut 08″
Okay, well it has been 39 days and I’m frickin ready to see those abs! It feels like I’ve been dieting for 39 weeks, not 39 days! I have done very well since my last report, I’ve been dieting and hitting the weights and cardio like crazy. I’ve found that a day or two a week I have to add in around 30-50 carbs to keep my focus, but I’m still making progress that is visible in the mirror despite the extra intake. My average carb intake is running around 150 carbs/day. The cutting is slow, I’m losing about .5 to .75 pounds per week, but I think this is allowing me to hold onto most of my muscle mass. I have some ‘primal eaa’ on the way that I will begin drinking during workouts to help salvage more muscle mass…I just hate the thought of losing an ounce of what I’ve worked for. I’ve ramped my cardio up to around 4 hours a week (4 days, one hour) This seems to be helping. I’ve also started using ‘napalm’, but its too early to report anything on that. I am still thinking that my abs (the top 4 anyhow…) will be very visible by some time in August. August seems to be creeping nearer and nearer though! I am thinking though that with my new increase in cardio frequency, and the addition of napalm that my results will rapidly increase for the next month. I would say that this first 40 days, the first 10 or so of which were pretty mild, I accomplished probably a third of what I needed bring out some rocked up abs! This time table puts me another 40 days (August) to a decent 4 pack, and another 40 to really define the top 4, and begin to bring out the bottom two. I’m thinking my genetics are predisposing me to not have a very defined lower ab region - but that is not to say that I don’t beleive that it cannot be done with a little more hard work and cosistency. In the end of August I will add in some MMV2 to harden up a bit, and hopefully restart fat loss and aid in anti-catabolism of the muscle tissue, I’ll run it at a lower dose for the last 6-8 weeks of the cut to really bring out some seperation.
