ITT: Spring cutters crew unite - physique update, pre-cut, let the journey begin!

I wanted to begin my cut early this year and did so for around 2 weeks, then I found myself too tired and burned out to complete a massive work project so I jacked up carbs for 2 weeks, absolutely dominated said project, now back on official cut as of yesterday.

Current soft, winter physique update, sitting at 180. Ironically, this is the condition I used to END at at the end of previous cuts when I started cutting as a 200 pound lardass earlier in my bodybuilding career. So, at least that's progress overall.

Estimation of body fat here, ballpark? Approx. 15%? I'm thinking if this is my pre-cut baseline, I have a lot of potential this time around to get leaner than I ever have. Leanest I got was last year at 167 completely dry. We'll see how she goes this year. Should be a relatively smooth 12 weeks.

Any spring cutters here? Perhaps we could all share pre/post images and keep ourselves in check throughout our journey.

(Yes, that's a based Big Mouth Billy Bass on my wall! Here's a little song I wrote....I wanna sing it note for note..don't worry....be happy)

I always like to push it as much as I can, kind of like a new challenge every year. I found being under 170 really not sustainable. This is, though. I can easily maintain a 175-180lbs physique at this level of conditioning without even trying. Just eat clean, nutrient dense meals, keep lifting, hiking, etc. I always tell myself this is it and I'm 'retiring' from the lifestyle, but then I get antsy in the winter and the cut calls my name.

Cutter checking in. Recently started keto again because it makes cutting a lot easier for me and also helps with mental health

In brahs, did a bit of cutting trough nov-dec. Ate at maintenance for a while and now back to cutting for summer.

Aiming for 12%, plan is to maintain after that.

My buddy did a 4 week cut. Just blasted dat dere, ate like 800 cals below maintenance and just drank water/protein shakes...




M/F'er just dropped 18 pounds and looks shredded. Then hopped off dat dere and is now cut with minimal effort. Lol'ed because another long time gym buddy is trying to cut natty for like 4 months and just looks flat and lost muscle and strength lol

I looked pretty good last year around 181 lbs, no washboard abs, but at around 15% bodyfat. Currently 200 lbs

A major part of the fun in pursuing the bodybuilding lifestyle is reaping the rewards of hard work. Consistency, sacrifice, dedication, and persistence for years yields a physique most people would delude themselves into believing is unattainable in order to cope. I used to be one of those people.

No hate and judgment from my end, but it's hard to respect an individual that takes the easy way out in life. Mind you, the guys I know that have cycled have cycled modestly and they work harder than I do. I'd do the same. Imagine all of that recovery potential.

You've been heavily requested for a long time loool. It's just like a simpler, smaller more private forum with features that aren't 30 years in the past. It's good for quick chats and quick answers, a lot of lifting info. Check cp

Went from 153lbs to 170lbs during this bulk (I was 156 in my avi, last year) with one week left of eating heavy.

Cut starts April 1st. It'll be a late-ish one, but that was the plan

Gonna try to remember to bump this thread once in a while for all of my spring cutting brahs. How's everyone's progress going? What are you training at the moment?

Push day today. Gonna be an intense one. Bright and early, Opeth on the boombox.
