Cutting Again?!?!?!

It is true. I have once again began a cutting cycle, as those love handles were starting to creep out on me again while I completed the 5x5 and Functional Fitness programs. Not to mention the Squat everyday which was a waste of time, yet left me HUNGRY always!

Anyways, I am going to be moving soon for my job and need to show up in the best shape and make a great first impression. FITNESS is a very important part of the Military Lifestyle and the Profession of Arms. Therefore, I am once again cutting and will be eating right at my approx. macros to stay the same. I will just be adding additional cardio a couple times a week to get that chiseled look.

Here is my progress at 1 month:

Now keep in mind these are morning abs and my stomach has had nothing in it minus 2 scoops of quality Casein protein approx. 8 hours prior., since dinner the night before.

Stay tuned for more updates!

I am done. 30 days have gone by and every single day I squat. Sometimes it was front squat, sometimes it was back, but every day I did it. Why than are there no before and after pics you ask? Simple. The program did not work for me as I thought it would.

So far, almost every blog post I have made has been to at least some extant praising a certain program or manner of building muscle and losing fat. However, this one is the exception. I will say I did add some weight (in the form of about 20 lbs) to my overall PR on the normal stance back squat after the program was finished. BUT, the program did not deliver the results you see advertised all the time.

Now, it is back to my normal program of functional fitness at least three times a week, with cardio and yoga worked it. We will see how it works out.
