@notBottlecap Gotta lose some lbs to look like that still lol. Definitely a goal though

[Moose @nmoose_]

Always feel conscious posting progress pics like these but this is all apart of the journey and not the final result. Originally I wanted to be around 215lbs, but I’ve decided to push myself further and drop to 200lbs. 17lbs to go, lifts are tougher to do but still consistent.

[Moose @nmoose_]

Shoulder/back day finisher, db rows 4x8-failure. Hovering around 220lbs, still get hangry af. 10 to go, portion control is starting to get tough to stick to but like always we move. Small trip to ATL coming up, will be a good rest for me to reset and come back harder

230 —> 221lbs since cut started, moods improving since body is adapting to cal deficit. Dinner on the cut tn is fillet of haddock, half cup of mushroom risotto and asparagus. Workouts have been consistent, feel good. 11lbs to go

[Moose @nmoose_]

My moods* apparently this cut has also made me dumber 😐

[Moose @nmoose_]

Almost 1 full week into the cut and I’m moods have been atrocious. Not to mention the headaches while my body adjusts to it. All workouts this week I’ve maintained same weight in each exercise. I’m miserable af but we keep moving

[Moose @nmoose_]

275x6, beat last weeks version of me. Kept as tight as possible, confident in my legs pushing more just have to watch the grip strength. Last hamstring/glute leg day on bulk. 231lbs this morning, cut starts tmo. Dialled.

[Moose @nmoose_]

Hit a new PR on RDLs! 275x4. No belt or wrist straps. Absolutely buzzing, wish I was confident enough in a gym full of people to record myself for it. Going to push that again next week for 6 and try to get over the hurdle of people watching me record lol

[Moose @nmoose_]

@JoeSchnee My face gets round af on bulk lmao, my self conscious ass can’t wait to not look like Rolie Polie Olie 😅

[Moose @nmoose_]

Final set of 3x6 with 100s. Pushed till failure on the last set (failed at final rep)- you can really see my left shoulder instability in this. Big drop set after —> 60lbs until failure. Tomorrow is my last day on bulk, 229lbs rn. Looking forward to the cut.

[Moose @nmoose_]

During the clean bulk I’ve been eating a lot of “snacks” between my meals to make sure I hit my cals for the day. This one is by far my fav- Greek yogurt, fav granola of choice, banana (or any berry) and some honey to top it off. Fills the sweet tooth craving as well!

[Moose @nmoose_]

Final week of my bulk. Dinner tonight consists of maple garlic salmon, 2 cups of roasted broccoli, and a half cup of rice + standard shake. Rest day from the gym today! Back and bicep day tomorrow

1.5 weeks left of my small bulk. Almost at the 230lbs goal. Feel good in the gym, workouts have gotten a lot better weight wise. Sickness and travel fatigue washed out of the system! Mentally preparing for the cut- I do this.

[Moose @nmoose_]

Update: I’m hovering around 226lbs- have had a tough time with meeting my calorie goals/not drinking enough water. Mostly due to travel and feeling sick. Lifts still getting better though- tonight’s meal is seared ahi tuna, cup of broccoli and cup of quinoa + standard shake

[Moose @nmoose_]

From my back/bi day. 195lbs x8 narrow grip barbell rows (lat focused). Form started to slip a bit at the end due to fatigue from being my 4th and final set, hoping next weeks sets my form consistency improves at this weight. Might start doing full workout routine vids

[Moose @nmoose_]

I never had an issue putting on mass, my genetics are freakish if you’ve seen my family. Might have to be more realistic with the timeline for the bulk if I’m already up this much- trusting the process for the cut down the line. Have to include more fruits in my diet as well.

[Moose @nmoose_]

Weighed myself at 218lbs starting last week, weighed in at a staggering 229 lbs this week already (1L of water consumed so 1kg). Assuming that majority of that weight is water retention. Continuing on, my lifts have been better! I feel great so far.

[Moose @nmoose_]

Todays protein shake- usually will do a cup of frozen mixed berries and a banana but I ran out of both yesterday. So I just used 6-7 large ice cubes instead. Flavour wise this is a strong 8/10 and not super thick (due to protein powder of choice)

[Moose @nmoose_]

Will include 1 workout video a week on here, gonna be a decent month. Not looking forward to the cut already lol

[Moose @nmoose_]

Day 1 of clean bulk. Post workout meal w hydration mix. 1 whole chicken breast, 3 XL whole eggs, half of a pita- protein shake w creatine/2 cups of fruits consumed immediately after waking up. Goal is to consume around 3.3-5k Cals/day (surplus of 300-500 cals)
