Are there any supplements that aid in the cutting process?
I've been getting strength gains, but i'm not dropping weight to fast

I'm probably gonna up my cardio starting tomorrow

just cut cals and mix in cardio with your lifting, I`d say when you get down to a month within hitting your goal then you can do EC stack.

I got another question, I've been getting gains as far as my max lifts have been going

285x3 bench (free weights)

285x4 bench (smith machine)
:whoa: I dont bench free without a spot there just in case I get in trouble on a rep


315x3 squat

225x5 deadlift
(I haven't touched these in about a month because I can never find that damn bar lifter thing)
:shaq2:...:deadrose:

605x 5 leg press


Do I keep going higher to find my 1 rep max or better yet how often should I be trying to find it?
:lupe:

if your gym has micro plates (2.5lbs) I go up by 2.5lbs on each side (5lbs total) each week. It's much easier to make progress and see if you need to go down instead of randomly adding plates each workout.

I didnt put my opening weight... I was 209.2 lbs and 5' 9" on 3/1. I have a Google spreadsheet for proof if necessary. Wish I had taken before photos though :sadcam:

Been cutting since February so I'm in a pretty good rhythm. Down 7lbs since 2/1.

Routine is pretty much set. Working with about 2100-2300kcal per day, I think my average now is 2200 or so. I cut about 50kcal/day a week. I try and ride my bike 20 miles a week. 1 mile is about 50 calories. Cardio is good for getting blood flow up from hard to reach fat deposits and its just straight up good for you. My resting heart rate is 54 BPM :whoo:

Yeh other forum Im on is doing it purely on aesthetics

Im seeing decent changes despite the weight loss not being that drastic
I had a ton of mexican on Wed so that bloat is gonna carry on a day or two. The key is realizing this is a slow race. Some people only weight themselves 1-2 a month because often times people get discouraged when they say the scale isnt moving fast enough and dont account for potential bloat/undigested food from the day prior.

I mean 8 oz of water is half a pound. I drink damn near a gallon a day. That's 8 lbs right there. Gotta weigh at a consistent time frequently

I dont think the scale will move in my favor for this weigh in, but I do know my body composition has been constantly improving.
Oh, I'm coming over again. I'm not dialed in yet. It's better but not optimal to see the losses.
