Srs. Weighing 93 kg atm. Gonna try to get my fat arse down to 90kg by next week. The problem is I've already been cutting for the past few weeks so I'm not retaining much water at all.

I started a cut 5 weeks ago and am down 25 pounds, so not too far from 3kg per week.

If that's all you need to lose, probably not a big deal. But I'm beginning to see the negatives and backing off a bit.

Yeah I can't imagine consistently losing 3 kg a week for more than a couple of weeks at my current weight. I'm def not lean but I'm not carrying a chit ton of body fat either so I'd have to starve myself.

bump

how are you going to burn 23k calories in 7 days?

Don't know brah. I train boxing and wrestling every day so I'm fairly active but burning 23k in 7 days sounds like a lofty goal, lmao.

You might do it as like a death cut for a fight or something. But it's not sustainable at all. Weight loss is a marathon, not a 100m sprint.

math is racist

if you're huge and fast, no

Mirin using kg instead of lbs. that means your foreign and cool.

Unlike the rest of us plebs.

Not sure how you're gonna do that. Most I've consistently and sustainably managed to lose is 3lbs a week that's eating 2500-3000kcal and cardiomaxxing.

How much cardio did you do?

it is theoretically possible. if you did mind numbing LISS for 8-12 hrs and maybe 30 mins of HIIT with a calorie deficit of 500. Could theorteically get your weight loss, but its so boring i dont know how you d be able to do it

Yeah I'd rather fast than do cardio for 8 hours lmao.

at 93 it might be

at my 120 i can do it in a day by taking a longer walk

of course its back the next day with a bonus

Yes that's pretty standard. For example Schwarz & Palumbo both bulked up and then 2 weeks out from comp they lost 42kg to get shredded.

As long as you feel good, sleep well and don't lose mornin erections you could continue. But you're bound to run into a wall with this pace.

Just keep it monitored.

Yeah I'm super lean at around 85kg so it's def getting harder since I'm no longer overweight at current bodyweight.

2 1hr sessions according to the Garmin I burn around 1800 kcal.

Bad idea unless you want to lose muscle.

Depends on how fat you are. If you're losing 10-20 pounds in 1-2 months, you are either losing a lot of muscle or are fat as fukk. Im currently cutting and a 1 pound loss in the mirror is a huge difference in body composition when you're inching near 10% bf. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

The math is a bit squidgy as we don't know how much of the weight is water, fat, and lean mass.
Assuming you meant "huge and fat"? Agree.
Wise. Dieting too hard can mess up your hormones.

Not sure if I agree with messing up your hormone. Is there any scientific evidence that supports such claim?

Unless you're cutting for a sport or competition, with the full intention of gaining it back after, focus on eating habits and a routine you can maintain, even if it means losing weight at a slower pace. Don't be lazy or use healthy maintenance as a cop out for stalling your progress physically or nutritionally, but at the same time find a middle ground. You're a lot less likely to maintain a lower level of body fat if you get there in an extreme way.

What difference does it make if you hit your goal weight in 3 months, 6 months, or 9 months, etc. You'll still be here.

It isn't until you want to try and get down to elite levels of leanness that you need to be religious and push to extremes to meet it. With that said, most normal men will look and feel great at 15 percent or so BF. Especially if you lift, you will look better than 95 percent of people. If you can somehow get down to single digit and you're into pushing yourself for the conquest of it, then whatever - but it's not exactly necessary for someone who isn't competing at something like the Ruby Classic. Focus on eating, sleeping, and training in a way that you feel good, and the rest will come. If your progress stalls, then start to tweak things as you go.

Good point brah. Just eager to get down to lower bodyfat for the summer though haha

Nobody is going to notice a difference between 92kg and 90kg except for you if you only lose 1kg in a week.

Why does every fatty in the world want to do unsustainable crash diets? You don't need an arbitrary deadline, just eat a healthy sustainable diet forever

Lmao, whats your height and weight? I probably look leaner than you at 200 lbs. Srs.
