Alright, listen up. My tracking has been slipping as of yet, and I'm growing a bit tired of the fucking sparetire of flab I'm carrying around my midsection. Alas, I'm now plotting plans of world domination. Allow me to unveil to you, dearest readers....
MONSTERCU(N)T 2014
What is this, you may ask? Well... I'm feeling a bit aloof and my mental sharpness is dulling as a result of the near constant state of carb coma I keep finding myself in. This very slow cut is an effort to regain my mental clarity, sense of purpose, and improve upon my strength-ratio while creating healthier long-term habits. Also gonna get that washboard back for the hottie piece of ass I'm currently dating. Details, you may ask? Well...
GOAL: 101kg > 93kg. (Estimated current dry bodyweight: 99kg)
SPAN: 1 April > 31 May (8.5 weeks)
Projected loss: 6kg solid fat mass
Necessary deficit: 500kcal/day
BMR @ 100kg: 2226kcal/day
Sedentary TDEE: 2671kcal/day. Target calories: 2550kcal (widen deficit with hour-long walk)
School-day TDEE: 3021kcal/day. Target calories: 2550kcal/day.
Training day TDEE 3821kcal/day. Target calories: 3300kcal/day.
At 96.5kg, knock off another 50kcal per day. Dry carb-ups every 14 days until 96.5kg, then every 7 days.
I'm absolutely
NOT going to sacrifice any strength throughout the process, which is why I'm aiming at a daily 500kcal deficit while keeping sleep and water intake plentiful. Six kilos of solid fat mass loss dispersed over eight and a half weeks should keep strength/quality mass-loss at bay, and considering that my starting point is much lower, and end goal three kilos higher than last year's marathon cut, I should be in a great position to keep my strength high throughout the process and hit the ground running once I start eating at a small surplus again on the other side of the tunnel.
Gentlemen, we have the technology to rebuild him....
