First Real Cut Log

[Civdiv]

Dexa came back decent. Looks like my transition out of my cut is going okay. Haven't screwed myself up yet. My waist measurements have stayed pretty steady so I'm assuming (hoping) the increased fat mass is mostly glycogen and subq water refilling after adding back some carbs. As I said, I tried to dry out a little before this since I was carrying a ton of water.

So on to my next steps I guess. I don't really think I'm going to get the look I want this go around. I'm going to try to be happier with where I'm at now and focus on holding and dialing in maintenance calories the next 2 months and stay on track for a January 1st bulk. I'm down 90lbs and probably in a good spot to start adding mass with a decent base to start with.

Dexa looks great. Don't be discouraged. You're doing fuckin awesome dude. Just keep going.

Thanks dude. Would probably do me some good to go to a public pool and recalibrate my body standards instead of constantly comparing myself to a bunch of people here 15 years younger who've been dialing their shit in for 5-10 years.

Now I know why chicks keep fat friends around.

I wouldn't let that little .7% effect me. There is as much art as there is science when they do these scans. Two different operators on two different days could cause those results.

Hydration can cause different results.

Great job. I just read this log.

I was cracking up at all the posts complaining about being "flat," and I wanted to post "That's supposed to happen when you are cutting," but I didn't because I could see the post was months/weeks old.

It was neat seeing the progression pics all at once over time.

You should be proud of the progress you have made.

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I feel pretty good about how far I've come. I've also learned a ton about how to eat. I wish I knew half of what I know now 20 years ago.
