Kennyn27's Journal, 07 Mar 24

Hello all, I haven’t posted in a while but the last time I did I was just finishing my cut. Here are some pics of the results from that cut (sept. 2023). I finished the cut weighing between 175 and 180 pounds. Don’t know the body fat percentage, but that’s not that important. I stopped the cut because the negatives were starting to outweigh the positives. One being I was starting to get really tired in the gym!
I did start a bulk right after the cut and aimed for 195 lbs, which I hit at the end of January (second pics, between 195 and 200 lbs). I gained about 17 pounds in about 22 weeks, which was the plan, to try and gain slowly to keep the bulk going longer (5 to 6 months is optimal). The bulk was a lot more fun than the cut, as expected! 🤣 The strength gained in the gym was also amazing, it felt like I was hitting pr’s weekly.
I spent most of February at maintenance calories to help keep some of the muscle I hopefully put on in my bulk. Now I am back to a slight cut…. I hope everyone is well!
