Back has been MESSED up a whole week. It's equal parts dieting, not eating enough protein, not stretching abs enough and general stiffness / malaise.

Saturday
BW:82.2kg (Day 13/21)

BS 6x85, 6x93.5, 6x87.5
Run 2.78km in 18:31 (@06:39/km)

Feels like the scale has hit a hard brake around 82kg considering i broke it early in the first week im not sure what to make of it all but nevertheless ive leaned out noticably. However this is also accompanied with the usual sense of dread of 'damn why did i get so fat .. and there is nothing left there except skin, bones and fat'. To make matters worse ive got a holiday in ~10 days and im not lean enough to stop cutting but i do better mentally being heavier.

BW:81.9kg (Day 14/21)

I've decided a new training goal, try to dribble a ball for 10hrs per week. Thinking min 15mins/day and some days i'll do it for a couple of hours. Not saying i want to play basketball again but im done trying to be a rec league lebron, i only really enjoyed playing a guard and i think im a natural PG because i love to create for others and im a pretty decent passer and can usually hit the right person at the right time when i see the opportunity. My friend told me to work on my handles so i guess that's what im going to do next!

Kind of adapting to low carbing. I'm considering taking creatine early but my plan is to wait til later. I do think creatine is THE killer supplement now having tried without it. It doesn't just give rapid increases in performance and size - but training with creatine long term is where the real gains lie. Most studies probably don't take that into account though. It allows you you to consistently train and recover better and over an extended period of time, it really pulls you away. Similar argument prob for preworkouts like caffeine. I managed to get by on 100mg of caffeine per day when i was training hard but i could have gone the other way and approached 800mg like KF to really get the most out of my organism.  Nevertheless for now im going to stay off creatine and will be tapering off caffeine to between 0-100mg, come end of cut.

BS 6x90, 6x96, 6x90

Every rep was brutal. Need carbz soon halp. Was thinking of going for a run but didn't in the end. Feeling a bit beat up. Ending the cut with a refeed on the next workout.

OHP 6x50, 3x53.5, 4x3x53.0, 3x53.5
Chinup 5x5xBW(cheated the last reps tbh, when did i get so bad at chins)
 
Well that will do it. Another successful cut and i know that because i went from 2D to 1D. Going to add some carbs, water and food weight and hopefully will fill out a bit for the holiday next week. Got pretty bad anxiety / depression through this cut, that was the hardest part, hunger wasnt an issue, nothing else really just felt really miserable. If i cut again im thinking maybe the 2nd week of Jan? Not sure, will see.

Wednesday
BW:81.2kg (Day 0/0)

Post refeed only weighing 81.2kg is surprising. But i'll take it. I think Dec will be a write off for training b/c i'm away from wednesday and i come back mid Dec then get my wisdom teeth removed. Depending on how that goes recovery wise, my goal will be just to keep myself in the same sort of shape i am now and pick up from there when im back to 100%. Tapering off caffeine starting today, going from 600mg/day to 200mg today, and 100mg tmr.
