^^ how long do you cut for and how much can you drop?
I’m travelling a bunch until the end of the month but then I’m entering a 6 week cut and I’m literally already dreading it.
I use All Trails website for trail running spots. You can filter location, activity to (Trail Running) and distance to desired length. usually some excellent reviews, pictures, and directions for parking and other warnings like trail closures etc.
Started cutting 2 weeks ago and already dropped from 190 lbs to 177 lbs. Fighting weight (peak abs) is probably 165 range. I’m 5’9 so a bit short for AF standards but I deadlift/squat 315 for reps and bench 275 (not bad for my weight IMO). I’ve already been losing some gains as expected with any cut (cycling off creatine completely) but I really just want to get lean again because it has been so long. To be honest I have not given up that much. I still have a cheat day on the weekend and drink booze but only wine or vodka with soda water. Trying to restrict calories to about 400-500 below my metabolic rate. Foregoing most of my strongman exercises for more cardio and calisthenics.
all i had to eat today is oatmeal and an orange.
im starvin ova here
^ No joke I had a cheat day yesterday and fluctuated 7 lbs between morning and night.
Cutting while training is likely to backfire as your body is trying to build muscle.
waterweight is such a head feck I can see why people struggle to lose weight.
i dont need muscle everywhere, just in my legs for 3 weeks
Yeah, but your body will not be able to build that muscle as much if you’re cutting. Usually people build then cut.
Anybody want to start side bets?
You mean for me vs. you in the 5th ave. mile? 
Oh sh*t, that’s tempting. I’ll make a final decision on whether or not I’m running about a month before and open the pool. WYG can be the bookie. I’m going to feel guilty taking all of your $1’s. 
Cute
As far as Igor goes, I can’t call it until I hear the splits on his 1st quarters workout. Keep us posted Igor!
Igor - how’s it going
im 210 and run a 6:30 mile with no training . If I dropped to 190 I would destroy you BS
Never gonna happen.
If I dropped to 190, I would certainly destroy all you fools.
But don’t hold your breath.
Ran 3 miles at a 7 minute pace this morning before hitting the weights for 45 minutes. Been losing some muscle but the cardio gains have been steady. I might try running a mile for time this weekend. I need to take a day off between. Calves have been sore as a MFer.
You’re a sick dude buffalo man
^ appreciate the kudos but I still need to post the topless selfie for verification. I would have already but not sure how to post it where some weirdo on here can’t reverse image search it and stalk me down. Still lots of progress to be made in the shred but definitely enjoying the performance gains.
