Practical cutting advice?

bump in case anyone is awake and wants to share advice

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anyone here.

Have you considered reading the sticky?

Yeah, I read the sticky a couple times. The takeaway (as I understand it) is basically what I said in OP.

Go up the wrists instead of across. No need to thank me later.

Lift heavy, dont let your strength die down

Eat a fuck ton of protein

Sleep

Keep your lifts the same, add a de-load set at the end if you'd like to get some extra work in.


Its not about just cals, you need to keep your protein intake high in order not to lose too much of your gains (some of it will go-sorry).


Also, in regards of looking ''lean'', you will need to get some of the water out as well, in order to achieve definition

>continue my training per normal
Good. Keep in mind that progress will be slower so don't expect to make gains as before.

>Lower my calorie intake to under 2000
How much are you taking now?

>increase my daily cardio burn by about 20%
What kind of cardio are we talking here?


>I have been doing low-rep lifts for a while now, should I switch to high-rep, or stay? Or does it not matter?
It doesn't matter. Keep doing what you were doing.

>How long before I begin looking lean?
Nobody knows. You'll have to find out yourself.

Grateful to come back to some good feedback.

I try to take in 2000-2500
>What kind of cardio are we talking here?
Elliptical machine, occasional outdoor swimming per the season

This guy has the weirdest abs I've ever seen. Seriously, what the fuck's going on there.

>I try to take in 2000-2500
That's a huge range but whatever. Yeah, start with 1800 for a week and see if your weight will drop. Keep cutting 200 weekly until it does.

>Elliptical machine, occasional outdoor swimming per the season
Okay that's fine. Cut it out if you start feeling like crap.

500 cal deficit
Track your calories and macros
Intermittent fasting + carb cycling works great for me to drop fat towards the last few weeks of cut or to break through a weight loss plateau.
Water weight WILL fuck with your mind. Don't use the scale to monitor fat loss, use the mirror and measurements, take pictures.
If you want to have a cheat meal, don't exceed your calorie intake. If you're gonna go binge on 1200 cals of burger, live with the fact that you cant eat fuck all for the rest of the day, believe me you won't make a habit of it because you'll be hungry as fuck.
Use cardio as a tool to balance your calorie intake if you go over your goal.
Weigh your food, take accurate measurements of macros, calories etc. Worst case scenario, always overestimate if you can't accurately measure.
