Anyway,
Excellent progress man. Really impressive.
I’m about to start a slow cut/recomp here in the next few weeks myself.
I plan on just reducing my carbs by only about 20% to start off with. I’m not fat or anything lol, just put on some extra bf while bulking this winter.
In your cutting experience, is ANY cardio necessary for a slower, steadier cut? Or do you think I could just manipulate my calories?
Thanks![/quote]
Fat loss begins with diet, you don’t need cardio. I like it because it makes me feel good, keeps me feeling healthy, speeds up the process. Ultimately cardio or not, if you burn more than you eat, you will loss weight.

Austin I love what you are doing with fitness and on this site. I also thinkf myself as a body tranformer. Although I have lost some 90 lbs of fat, and gained a healthy amount of muscle, crisp definition and a nice six pack have elluded me. I have some questions for you.
-Do you always count calories on a cut? Aren’t some of the best foods the most difficult to count? IF I make a salad with 9 ingredients, I am unable to come up with an accurate measure of calories.
-How boring do you keep your diet? What does a sample day look like?
-What do you think seperates ppl who get very go resultas and those who get excellent results?
-Is there an optimal macro breakdown? Do you manipulate carbs on a daily basis? (Sorry if this is covered above)[/quote]
You do not have to count calories on a cut.
However, if you want to get in the best shape you can, you do. Don’t you want to be your best?
I use an app on my phone, there is a website too where you can easily enter a food, the quantity and it counts the cals and macros for you. It’s called "fitday.
People with good results and excellent results are separated by the small things. Small things add up to big things given time. Do I count my cals? Do I resist temptation and only “cheat” on a planned day? Can I make some sacrifices in my life (giving up counterproductive habits) so that I can benefit toward my goals…
It’s the little things that count. Consistency is key.
Everyone is different. I do change my macros up daily…300 carb on training day with 80 Fat…75-100 carb on off days with 120 F…depends on the day but I carb cycle based on my energy expenditures for the day. If I am not doing much, I won’t eat a lot of carbs…If I am exercising for 2.5 hours (lift and cardio) yea I need more carbs than an off day.[/quote]
holy fuck. 2.5 hour gym sessions?
haha how many days a week do you do this?
