Seeing that pic, I wouldn't bother with a cut: just keep piling on the mass!

You seem to have done a pretty clean job of the bulking, so it's all good.

If you wanted to trim down, you'd stand a good chance of losing a bit of your muscle unless you're careful with it: if you check out kai's programme diet thread, you'll see how miserable (IMHO) the process is.

I'd just carry on with what you're doing, whilst taking out the cheap carb snacks: eat nuts instead, and hit the weights harder.

Cool.... Although I fear if I hit the weights any hard my heart will collapse lol.

Shall keep at it.

 

[Morba]

No idea of how much of me is flab (how would I go about working this out?) ... I'd say a considerable about as I have developed a bit of a gut.

Bit of a gut? What rubbish.

 

[mrthingyx]

Bit of a gut? What rubbish.

LOL.

I call vanity troll.

"Nah, brav - you's like well massiv!"

 

[MoNkeE]

Yeah, I'll show you "bit of a gut".........




*looks for pictures of Morba*

Okay maybe I was a little over the top.

I just hate that this blanket of fat over the abs lol

 

[Dj_Jestar]

You can see your abs.. just not every single striation.

 

[Deception]

Well all this new mobility has paid off, only needed 2 appointments at Physio and he said I've made good progress and just need to strengthen my core. Shouldn't be too hard to destroy it during Wendler

Exactly, now that would be a blanket lol.

You talk rubbish, there is no blanket of fat.

Here we go

Just took these a few mins ago. Got myself weighed while I was at it.

Skip over to my log and have a look at my before cut as after cut pictures. Although your taller then me, I was similar in appearance before my cut to you. In my experience of my cut I went from 12st 9lb to 11st 1lb.

Although I am pleased with the results I would probably been better of just cleaning up my diet and sticking to 2.6k cals and just dropping fat as I go, as I have effectively stayed where I am as far as overall size and strength are concerned.
I don't think you need to cut. Just clean up the diet and keep working hard

Deadlifts tonite. Thinking 210x10x3. Nice bit of volume above my comp weight. Will do as many as I can strapless and maybe beltless as well

210x10x3....nice m8 nice

 

[LiE]

3 sets of 210x10, immense!

 

[Morba]

Gotta be done. Next 3 weeks I need volume over 200kg

Did you see my post about the strongman comp over here in Bristol on 30th Sept? Might be worth you having a look at

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

yeah m8 im a little funny on fitness atm having a minor knee prob i think it may be too soon for me to be match fit. im gonna have to get some comps in tho soon to get some experience would like to practice a few events first tho.

I did 205x10 the other day on 531 was a toughie but sure i coulda done more sets, my aim is to get 230 repping around 10 thats a decent comp level

 

[Morba]

230x10 would be outstanding for novice standard tbh

 

[LiE]

pft bouncing deadlifts, get out!

 

[Morba]

Oddly a few comps lately have allowed touch and go for reps, which tbh I don't agree with
