Animal Cuts is done. Yippee! It’s funny, as soon as I saw those results from Fri, a huge wave of relief came over me! I was relieved that I didn’t need to take them any more! The fact that I would be able to think clearly again is the primary focus of that relief. The Animal Cuts started to get the better of me – and while I was ready to make the trade off between mental clarity and lower bodyfat, I was looking for a way out. Fortunately the way out was presented nice and early and was undeniable.
So, since I’ve been thinking about things, i’m thinking of making a couple of changes. I’ve got to the point where I’m kind of fed up of cutting, cutting, cutting. I’d like to fell bigger again. And I am at one of my most lean states that I’ve ever been in!!! Sure I’m not quite at my goal yet, but maintaining muscle and continuing to lose small amounts of fat – not the 2lbs a week that was previously my goal – is how I think I wanna move forward from this point.
I think – and this is where I’m lucky – that I’m now in more of a moulding phase rather than pure cutting. My goal of 12% bf still remains, and I will get there. I just don’t want to push artificially hard to get there. The trade offs just aren’t worth it! And I wanna have fun again! Let loose just a tad – emphasis on the tad!
So here’s what I’m going to do -
Up every morning at 6am – protein shake. Then meditation and the gym around 6.30ish.
BCAAs at the gym.
When out, cook MYSELF – omlette – but before that, some surge and a tonne of creatine.
I’m going to start cooking for myself, because my omlettes are about five times as good as the cafs. And I’ve been able to finish my omlettes, whereas I leave about half of theirs.
Lunch, snack remain the same.
Dinner – low carbs. Probably more eggs at night and lean meat.
Before night snack – whey and caesin.
And the other note – because I’m getting up even earlier, need to go to bed earlier. I’m going to adjust my alarm clock to 9.30pm. In bed by 10.30.
So they’re a few if the changes I’m going to try out starting tomorrow! Wish me luck!
