Kabeetz: Cut Up or Shut Up [OFFICIAL LOG]

[Kabeetz]

OK, my first log. 8 week cutting log to follow my first official 12 week bulk (12 weeks). I proudly gained 20+ pounds and am 12 weeks into my first true 5x5! Problem was I was soft when I started, and now I'm softer, but also have some seriously improved foundation, wider back, legs and much better posture, etc.

I don't want to cut, but my instincts are telling me I should pull back the reigns for a bit and I am gonna follow them.

I ate a nice, big junkie last rights dinner... then cooked all my meals for tomorrow, packed it up to go, entered it all into fitday and am ready to go.

I will post my morning weigh in, other stats, goals, my foods, etc. in the morning.

I'm still in the early stages of what I consider a very long term journey, but I consider this small two month chapter to be vital to my success.

I hope you enjoy this log, journal, diary, whatever it morphs into.

Welcome aboard, and thanks.

damn...i don't feel very special b/c i didn't get to read it.

ok good luck but something i want to point out and some others may agree here...i would save the clen until you have gotten down to around 12%bf...losing the early weight is alot easier....but then it gets a hella tougher as the weight melts off. just something to think about...

what do you mean..."goal is to get weak??" just b/c your trying to lose bf doesn't mean you have to get weaker per say...it happens alot because of the weight loss but not in every case
