So here I am in a 500-700 calorie per day deficit cutting for my November 8th Mens Masters Physique Contest. Over the last week my weight has dropped about 2 pounds and I am now down to right around 188-189 pounds, the lightest I have been in a while! According to the "Fitness Community", I should be losing my gains and getting weaker by the second...
Well say it isn't so! Today weighing in at 188 pounds I got a personal best Bench Press of 285 pounds for 2 reps and this was after some leed up bench work that was not ideal for getting any type of a PR.
Now my cut has been slow, about 9-10 pounds in the last 2 months and as of right now I am feeling pretty good, not too hungry and my energy is solid with only the ocasional valley. I fully expect to hit the wall and feel this cut in the next couple of weeks but so far so good and as long as I can still push it in the gym, I will continue to put as much weight on the bar as I can.
