    Happy Sunday! Was out of it for a few days, bashed my elbows up slipping on some stairs, but back at it and starting my 8-12 week cut or However long it takes to hit 8% body fat before bulking back up all fall.

    Strength

    Pull-ups 4x8
    Pull downs 3x12,10,8
    Barbell rows 4x10,8,6,5

    Hi all!

    Several measurements have gone down in the past month: hips, thighs, and waist.

    Today's planned workout:

    Cardio: half hour pool running
    Weights: goblet squats (up to 35 lb), walking lunges (carrying 15-lb dumbbells), deadlifts (up to 40 lb, I'm a beginner and working like mad to get my form right). I had gone to 50 lb on goblet squats before but then had an IT band problem in early January and had to stop, then go back finally in early March).
    Then physiotherapy (various shoulder and upper back isolation exercises). PT is for rotator cuff issues that are taking a long time to go away (soreness and tightness in front and back of shoulder, deltoids and tendon at the top of the biceps). I can finally do full body pushups with no pain, and in fact they relieved some shoulder/deltoid pain immediately afterwards.

    Well how behind am I?

    Crazy last few weeks for me, but all good. Slacked off some on workouts because work has been crazy, but still getting them in. Food and weight under control.

    Hope you all keep killing it, and I'll get back on a better track soon!

    Thank God It's Thursday? Getting closer to Friday!

    Cardio: 2.25 mile run on the horse trail with my dog! She loves to run and I'm beginning to. Funny, I was just going to walk fast today because I'm really tired but the first song up was one of my running songs so I decided to just go for it and ended up running the entire circuit. I think there's something wrong with me.... ;)

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Just found out this week what's been wrong with my husband, apparently he has a serious lung condition (one that's somewhat rare I guess.....uggghhhh), sooooooo, I've been researching like crazy and we're going to be adding lots more fresh fruits and veggies to our diets, among other things. I can't cure him but I think I can help him. <3

    Very active would be in the realm of activity (say in work) where you move a lot. A waitress for example or a construction worker.

    Took a rest day Saturday and was busy yesterday burning up calories planting our garden and cleaning the pool. I've taken over some of my husband's normal chores for now so a rest day isn't exactly a rest day anymore.....

    Cardio: 10 min run after strength training.

    Strength: 20 min calisthenics warmup including goblet squats, static lunges, good mornings, physio ball pikes and bridges, side planks, decline situps/scissors/leg lifts, renegade rows and stairmaster. 15 min shoulder rehab. 55 min strength training including leg press 6 sets working up to 490 lbs, 3X5 front squats @75 lbs, 3X5 bent over row @75 lbs, 3X8 tricep pushdown and pulldown w/30 lbs, 3X8 seated row w/70 lbs and 1X5 w/85 lbs, 3X10 cable wood chop w/27 lbs, 2X12 KB swings w/30 lbs, 2X10 single leg curl w/30 lbs, 3X10 inner thigh w/100 lbs

    Assessment: We've been eating super healthy with lots of fruits and veggies but I saved room for some ice cream tonight. I think I might be losing weight again. I wanted to lose another five pounds so I guess that's okay for now.

    Hope you all have a great week!

    Hey guys,
    Not new to MFP but pretty new to the forums. This one looks awesome. I'm almost 30yo male, 5'7", currently cutting. Started at 202lbs, down to 167lbs and still going. Can't wait to start a bulk but I'm still a ways off. Anyone feel free to add me as a friend, don't have any on here at the moment. I just put a before and after pic in my photos too. Not really sure how to put it on the forum but ill try, dunno if it will show up correctly.
