193 -> 176 in 2 months.... Wow. Thats wild. I bet you are shredded now. I want to do something similar for my tourney in early september, any advice? Literally 193 right now, if i was 176 with even close to my current strength and peaked athleticism i feel like i would be unstoppable. Do you think you are faster + better verts than you were a month ago?

i was too ashamed to take before photos but i wish i had now. have videos on insta though so can kinda do side-by-side comparison. i think i started around 200 and im 176 now. if it was for getting the flu i bet i would have a bit more strenght and muscle and cud have got some lifetime PRs for vertical. but still happy with the results. want to peak vert in the 2 weeks following end of diet.  so far i haven't seen any great promise of vertical gains tho. i mean i was hitting PR level on vertical at 95kg in feb at about 35" .. and in the last few weeks im struggling to get 32" with a 5kg vest. still lets see what happens when i increase calories to maintenance and let some fatigue dissipate (i do daily weight vest walking which does tire out the legs chronically).

Hit the magic 80.0kg milestone today. Never would have expected that when i started this cut like 8 weeks ago but there you go. 4 more days, going to give myself some room to grow under 80kg now, lets aim for like sub 79.5kg monday morning.

140p@80 is a 1.75xbw pr, albeit first time ive done pause squats with a belt.

80.4kg post refeed gives me the hope/goal of ending this cut sub-80kg post-refeed on the final one. And then my job in the maintenance break will be simple - stay under 80kg.

southpaw coming from the pespective of a single man, you can't get too enamored with any one girl until you're actually together. it's just bad to build up hopes to have them dashes, that can destroy you (it shouldn't but that's what we're trying to avoid). Shooters shoot, don't get too invested in any move, it may not pay off. Looking at my squat pause pr attempt, i failed but did i really fail? gotta look at both imposters equally (success or failure), don't get too caught up on the moment .. just keep going, luck is what happens at the intersection of preparedness and opportunity. i def agree with coges that when you find someone you are really into you need to maek an effort and i haven't done that in this situation. But i see it from southpaw perspective that if you try too hard it will kill the situation before it begins, you have to play it calmly though im currently missing self confidence (low test probably) to get this right. need to take my shot and see how it goes. im not doing that yet .. today or tmr i'll call her and see if i can win her over. her guard is high and im tird of being judged by the consequences of other men but it is what it is .. i think i packed enough cliches into this post lol

Thinking Coges advice might be appropriate. I've done well on this cut, losing almost 10kg in something like 6 weeks or something crazy like that (will look up properly later when im done) but it doesn't look like im going to be able to finish the job even if i diet for a week longer (up to the DEXA). The DEXA is a hard cap - i def wont do a single day's of cutting after the scan because i want to go immediately to maintenance. So as a compromise i may just take a smaller deficit, add more carbs back, shorter fasts (12-14hrs) and restore some sort of mental acuity so i can give myself a chance of getting the girl. I think that's a fair compromise at this situation. When i look in the mirror I see someone with abs etc but i still have central obesity .. that will take another cut down the line, i cant get it done in the next 7 days so i won't stress it.

I was planning on discontinuing the caffeine and green tea tomorrow but i think if i do that, i'll gain some water weight (which i would have lost initially by doing the 3x(200/400) - caffeine/green tea combo every day. i'll basically go from 600-700mg of caffeine a day to 600mg a week - will def gain some water discontinuing the diuretic (caffeine). Maybe just run the CEGCG combo til the dexa? then stop the day after?

Dude talk to the girl. Eat carbs if you need to. Get some pre-workout into you if required. There are more important things in life than cutting fat and a "gorgeous, smart, funny and seems into me as well" girl is one of those things.

I think she's losing interest. I feel ... im not sure about it all. I think i need someone less maintenance right now but i dont know, my mind is not all here right now so i cant figure out if ive made a mistake or if it's salvageable. She seems to get upset if i dont text her often (i wont call her at all which she's not thrilled about) but i have nothing to say (mind is blank) and she's taking it to mean im not that into her (but i am). Will try to talk to her on sunday if she's still up for it

Notes:
Looks like my metabolism is starting to tank. Half a degree drop is about 5% reduction in metabolism, so im looking at about 10% drop in the last couple of days. Will defo end this diet as scheduled if this doesn't recover but my sleep lately has been awful so maybe it's because of that. Anyway.

So ive been talking to a girl for about a week. She is gorgeous, smart, funny and seems into me as well. She wants to talk on the phone (we've spoken once for about an hour but that's not enough for her) but my mind is mush from the daily 24 hour fasts and long cut ive been on. Told her to wait til sunday but she's getting impatient and thinks i'm strange. Was thinking of extending the cut a bit longer til the DEXA scan. Not sure. My mind isn't that clear..

They're making a team that will entertain. Kind of an audition to see who fits well with LBJ and they'll trade for better pieces later down the line to compete for championships.

Took 300/30 C-Psyn preworkout I and 200/1.5g C-L-tyro preworkout II. Haven't touched L-tyro since Feb but i didnt wanna take any more caffeine and thought i'd give it a shot. Bit of a risk but seems to be okay.
Kind of did a refeed. Maybe hit 200g if im generous with carb values. Maybe as low as 185g if i didn't. Can't be bothered because i reached my 8pm feeding window so whatever. If i didn't hit the spot, i'll just have to wait for another week..
