Anyway. To any weight lifter who is trying to lose weight this summer, you should gauge how successful your cut is not just by the scale and how good you look, but also by your performance. The plan is to lose fat and not muscle (obviously) so if your performance has suffered, you need to take a step back and reassess what went wrong. Just remember to take things slow. Loss of strength might happen inevitably depending on how far and extreme the fat loss phase is going to be, but a quick and drastic drop is a sure sign that something went wrong.

Good to see you around! How is your year going? In terms of fitness and otherwise?

interesting so far. I started lifting about seven months ago after a two year break and apparently the so called "muscle memory" thing is true. I can vouch for it.

Bulking was the most painful part, though. I have a pretty sedentary life style but I had to jam about 3000 calories everyday day. Don't worry, I worked up to that slowly. It was fun at first but my appetite went down the after I picked up smoking again :X

And now I actually started to enjoy training for what it is. I don't feel too attached to the way I look like I used to. It just makes me feel mentally better if that makes sense.
