Trollus 2021 cut cycle log

[Rusty]

Hell yes. Get some for us dirt!!! I’m terrified of pinching that nerve again and not being able to feel my foot again. That fucked me hard last time.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I hear that I think my lower back is in need of a deload. Luckily that is upcoming week

 

[Rusty]

Ya. Don’t mess with the back. I lost almost all my gains from this summer on dead’s and squats cause I pushed to hard. Am also Ten years older than you but still.

 

[Trollus]

Thanks @Rusty. I just got done with legs today!! Making a commitment brother. I’ll post it later in my log. I had to go pretty light. My legs are detrained pretty bad. Appreciate the check in.

 

[Rusty]

Hell ya bro!!! Glad you followed through. Ya man those are some big muscles. Don’t wanna push um too hard until they are ready. Slow and steady wins the race brother

 

[Trollus]

I’m 47 so slow and steady is the name of the game.

 

[Rusty]

Hahaha yup!!

 

[Trollus]

Ok ok I did leg day. No more chicken legs for trollus.
4x10 dB squats
4x10 dB lunges
4x12 leg extensions
4x12 leg curls
I did calves yesterday. I can tell it’s been a while cuz I went LIGHT and my legs feel like rubber. It actually felt pretty good. And I took @Poppy advice and started tracking my macros. So assuming I don’t have a complete meltdown I’m at
Protein 169
Cabs 172
Fats 51
Total calories 2021
I could really safely add a bit more protein and stay under calories. I have my bar at 2098 and my tde at 3018 so a pretty steep deficit. I just want to get this cut over with. Thanks for the help gentlemen.

This is actually more calories than I’ve been doing but I’m trying to build strength back up. As usual any input is appreciated

 

[Poppy]

Our protein/carbs looks close to the same. My carbs are a little higher at times because I’m slack.

I don’t know if I would change anything.

Are you getting in any walking?

 

[Trollus]

About 30 miles a week. I’m a mailman so I do my walking section fasted. My health app on the phone has it at about 6 miles a day.

 

[Poppy]

Oh good gravy…I guess you do, do some walking…with a load.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I was hitting 12-14 a day at Lowe’s last year during peak Covid

 

[Poppy]

I guess i probably did more walking than I realized at the job I retired from. Big plant and everyone needing something in different directions.

 

[Dirtnasty]

That’s why I haven’t done cardio since covid now I May start back

 

[Trollus]

Ya it really knocks out the cardio especially on days I’m carrying 40 lbs of junk mail out to you fellas. Believe me we hate it more than you lol.
