I'd definitely take measurements mate. Can really help to determine progress gained and lost during cutting and bulking IMO.0
-
Do you guys measure flexed or unflexed?0
-
all unflexed for me except bicep. I take both measurements for that one.0

Cardio when and where, Im naturally a runner but im carrying a foot injury, so im doing swimming,elliptical, spin, whatever really. Also, just trying to increase general walking, walking to the gym, walks at work etc. Conveiniently have a lot of concerts during my cut where i'll be sure to be dancing all night and increasing my deficit0 -
Nice routine man!
Hows the first few days been>?0 -
that's a great looking routine mate0
-
Minimalism. I get as many reps as people who do 8 different types of curls, but i've tried to hit each bodypart without too many redundant excercises. Obviously, there will always be carry over with compounds.
So far its been ok, need to hammer out a proper routine and diet, Im used to deficits so i dont get hungry aside from the mornings, and i've been fasting a year so i can get over said pangs. As and when my routine gets too demanding i will probably move over to a 3 day split0 -
Added a side on! Theres still the slightest hint of abs, in mirrors i can still see my four pack, but it doesnt come up on camera atm. This week for cardio i've done Dancing at Notting Hill on sunday, and thats it this week.... Will do some cardio over the weekend but not bothered, have been walking around a lot more, and will be walking to the gym 4x a week, which is 30 mins. there and back. Doing a 3 day split this week due to the bank holiday and business, been a bit of a slippery start, including 2 Bacon XL double cheeseburgers and a lot of Gin, but im in cutting mode now.
Measurements:
Height: 180/5'10
32" Waist
36" Chest
13" unflexed/14.5" flexed Biceps
24.5" Thighs (Both legs)
15" Calfs (Both legs)
Neck: 15
Forearm: 11
BF% : 13% http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi
Pretty pleased with all those stats, 13% sounds about right imo
I am delightfully symmetrical. Also, i dont know where to measure from, so i dunno how correct they are0 -
Thought i'd just detail what i've been doing this week training wise. I've just begun a new deadlift and squat phase, i'm near the end of a OHP and Bench phase. I did 3 days training this week as i was busy tuesday.
Monday:
Squats 20kg x 10, 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 100kg x 5 100kg x 5 100kg x 5
Plate Squat: We squat on 15kg plates, high bar, and hold the squat at the bottom until we're told to drive. This replicates being stuck in the hole and out of position, like when you 1RM 77.5kg x 5
Squat: 5x10 @ 77.5kg
Lunges 3x8@60kg
Wide grip Chins 3 x8
Wednesday:
Bench: 20x10 52.5x5, 62.5x5,72.5x5 82.5x3 87.5x5 87.5x4,87.5x3 - dropping to triples next week, but may not bench at all because i have a shoulder niggle
Rows 3x8@80kg
Incline db bench: 30kgx 8,9,8,8,5 after this my shoulder didnt feel great, so i did a few weighted dips and then some weighted chins but decided to just go home
Thursday: Half hour spin, about 300 calories burnt
Friday:
Deadlifts: 65kgx5, 105kgx5, 130kgx5 130kgx5 130kgx5 130kgx5
Shrugs 110x5
Deadlifts5x10@80kg
SLDL 3x8@80kg
Front Squats: 3x8 @ 70kg

tomorrow im going to do park run, a free weekly 5k, then sunday i'll do some cardio, dunno what yet...0 -
Nice training mate
Love the no fluff attitude. 0 -
Right, So i weighed in at the weekend at 77.9kg, down from 80kg starting. So its pretty good progress, but i think a large part of that is the 100-150g daily carbs i've cut out, that was a dry weight.
Saturday, i went for my first run in awhile, i did 4 miles at 8:43 per mile. Felt good but foot was a bit tender today, i skipped cardio yesterday and was gonna do some today, but i ended up doing some shoulder press instead.
Todays workout
Squats all for 5 reps 20,45,65,85,105,105,105,105
Squats 5x10@ 80kg
Barbell Lunges 3x8@65kg
Weighted Chin ups 3x8@10kg
Press 20,30,40,525x 5,4,3
Mashed in half of shoulder day as im going to a festival this week so its another 3x a week training week. Pretty lax about cardio as well since i'll spend 4 days dancing.0 -
great workout
And so much for a slow start to you're cut.
I still think it's odd that you use kgs and miles :laugh:0 -
You know how it goes, its mostly carbs, and the day after im 78 im back up to 80kg. Workload is good though, all the extra walking goes a long way, you dont need to slave awaydoing cardio on lifting days if you're just a bit mobile.
Dont you use kg and miles? Scales in UK are in Stones, which no one understands and bumper plates dont come in stones, so it was easier to convert to kg. Everything in UK is miles, i dont like KM so much0 -
Foxy. 14 pounds = 1 stone. problem?
1kg= 2.2lbs?
Nice start so far though man.0 -
we are 100% metric. Kg & km's I know speed/distance conversions from drag racing days & kg/lbs from fitness days so it's all good.
But yeah, I have no idea on stones!0 -
Dude, we are nearly the same weight, the same height. You definately have more mass than I do, judging from your pictures and your measurments, probably 10-12 more lbs of muscle than Ive got?Right, So i weighed in at the weekend at 77.9kg, down from 80kg starting. So its pretty good progress, but i think a large part of that is the 100-150g daily carbs i've cut out, that was a dry weight.0 -
I know stones Moosey! Its just the rest of the world that doesnt. Im sure theres a formula you could use to work it out Nick, but im too retarded/lazy to figure it out!
We just dont deal in kms here, all our signposts are in miles, all races are in miles (except 5k and 10k)0 -
Im going to a festival this weekend, so i thought i'd just log what i've done and am doing tomorrow now

Weekend im going to a festival, fair amount of drinking, an awful lot of cardio, and i'll eat whats there. In England, Festival food is quite healthy and good, so i'll be eating risotto balls, stir fry, Peri Peri chicken, maybe even a roast, i'll see whats there. Im also busting out the fox suit. Have a nice weekend!0 -
Enjoy the fest, great progress around
