Phreak's Monster Cut

So, I’m back. I’ve been gone for quite some time and things have changed both for the better and for the worse…although not at the same time. When I was last here posting a lot on the site I was in the middle of a cutting cycle. Since then I have succeeded in cutting off a lot of weight before the beginning of the summer getting down to about 195 lbs and the continued from there to bulk again. I have since bulked up to 242 lbs and although I feel I’ve made some good strength gains and some decent improvements towards becoming more symmetrical, I have also added way more fat on than I would have liked to.

And so, this brings me to the new challenge.

The goal – drop 40 – 60 lbs over the next 4 months.

I feel that the goal is pretty attainable since I have found my current maintenance calorie intake and my lifestyle is revolving around summer work (meaning there isn’t too much time for the gym). I have stayed steady at this weight for about 2 weeks and I have a feeling that once I start into my program (coming soon) that I will be able to drop a significant amount of weight in a short period of time.

I’ve pretty much cut all fast/fried foods out of my diet as well as sugary drinks. I’ll be keeping track of progress with photos and workout logs on this site as well as keeping track of my diet of fitday.

Anyways, there won’t be too much in the way of workouts here until the week of Sept. 10th since I’ll be starting classes then and working a lot less.

As ashamed as I am to put these up I guess it’s something I’m going to have to do to keep track. So here are some before pics…go ahead, tear me apart boys, I know I got fat, lol.

I'm hoping for a lot of replies...I'm pretty motivated as it is, but you can never have enough support.

That weight will come off easy with the right approach man.

Good to hear from you again.
 
Wish ya the best in the log. And, using fitday.

What types of food are in the food plan?

What is your target deficit? What is your MT line at current wgt? Its my opinion, that as you drop weight, the MT Line subsequently--can drop--a small margin, so be mindful of this in your journey. Just some thoughts.


If I can help you in any way, Holla, Brotha!


Best wishes,

i was just thinking of you a couple days ago.
im real glad your back

and hey; at least you havent gotten skinny like i did :/
lower trapezius injury

ps: you are going to be a beast with that fat taken off :D
 
Alright boys, I'm back again. It's been a few weeks but I've make some progress in my absence; I've dropped down to 227lbs while managing to maintain my lifting weights. I'll try to get some progress pics up soon for your lovely criticism since I know well enough that just cause I don't see any progress doesn't mean you guys won't.

Anyways, cheers for now
 
here's 1 pic. took it just now....the bastards cut off all my hair :(

hey man..those pics are awesome...im sure you'l be there in no time man.

what kind of routine are you doing?
your diet better be spotless :p

anyway, you dropped a lot of weight already and you maintained your lifts so good on ya, man. keep it up!
 
Phreak haven't seen you in a while. Good to see you around again, with your past knowledge this should be cake for you!!!:)

Good Luck
 
those pics aren't in any kind of chronological order. For example, the pic of my lats is the oldest picture and the first pic of the traps in the most recent
 
Wow!

Alrighty then, so my life went nukin' futs for a lil while there, hence the lack of my presence even though I said that I would be here more often...

So, since the last time I was here nothing has really changed, for either better or worse, so I guess that can be viewed as a good thing. I'm currnetly running a nasty calorie defeciet and TRYING to hit the gym at every possible chance that I get. I'm down to about 220lbs and hopefully I will be able to get back on track and start dropping the poundage again soon.

progress pics to come soon....maybe
 
Hey PP welcome back!!

I would love it if you could post a days food intake with this calorie deficit you are doing PLEASE! Thanks :)
 
so, its been almost 4 months now and I'm at a stand still around 220lbs. I just can't seem to lose it. I've been working like 6 days a week and school on top of that so I haven't been hitting the gym. But now I have a ton of time and I just can't get motivated. It feels as though its a disappointment every time i go in there since i'm not lifting anywhere near what i was.

After talking to LV, I'm going to try to put it all behind me and start fresh, rework my game-plan and get back into it.

here goes nothing
 
new development. my relationship that i have been in for the last 6 years has just up and disappeared. I'm hurting like hell and i'm not feeling any reason to leave the house for much other than work. life sucks
 
PP...........Come back man and post, We are interested in how the brotha is doing?


How are you man?

Hope all is good.


:)
