Cutting Log

After a 6 month bulk it's time to start the new year with a cut.
I'm planning on an aggressive cut for January due to work commitments
Then slow it down for the rest of the cut, my plan is to get lean then *kitten*
Whether I'm going to compete this year.

Stats
Male
Age 46
Height 6ft
Starting weight 237.9lbs
Goal weight 215lb
BF approximately 20%

Training will be 5 weight sessions and 5 cardio
sessions per week.
I plan on logging my weight sessions on here

    Five weights AND five cardio each week is VERY aggressive. Watch for signs of burnout.

    Looking good already, mate. You really want to lose 22 pounds from there? That sounds very excessive to me, unless you definitely plan to be competing.

    Technically a day off for me but my partner was working so nipped
    In the gym for a quick arm session

    Seated DB curls 3 x 12
    Seated overhead tricep extension 4 x 12
    Rope push down 4 x 15
    Hammer curls 3 x 12

    Down to 234.4 lb this morning, obviously just water weight

    Eating that many calories to cut must be great!
