The first week of this log has been humbling but I’m still genuinely happy with where things are sitting. Check-in done and I’m confident in the direction everything is moving now.
Nutrition had to be rearranged just before this log started. Coach gave me a well-timed kick up the ass, and honestly, it was needed. Reality’s set in there’s still a shitload of work to do before we even think about shifting direction. The priority right now is setting the body up for the strongest possible growth phase this year.
This is a marathon, not a race. The real target is later 2027. That doesn’t mean we get slack, it just means we don’t rush and make dumb mistakes.
Scale weight is only 2kg down from where the cut started back in September, but body composition is
miles ahead of where it was. That’s a big win. Muscle has been retained, and in some areas, even built during the process.
Over the next 6 weeks we’ll continue to monitor composition closely. Coach will make the necessary moves as we go, with the aim of finishing this cut exactly as lean as required. We don’t stop until that box is ticked.
At the same time, we’re cleaning up bloods. They’re sitting pretty damn good all things considered, but the goal is to hit every target before putting the body under any further stress. LCMS E2 results should be back soon, potentially looking to bring it a little higher to optimise IGF-1 conversion and assist with further LDL improvements.
Diet-wise, the only change has been shifting some carbs from post-workout to
pre-workout now that calories have dropped. Fueling training is non-negotiable at this stage.
Daily BG hasn’t been ideal, sitting in the low 5’s mmol, however HbA1c came back extremely good so we’ll make some small, smart adjustments with supplements to bring daily BG down.
