Thanks tman and mulligan!

Is it normal to get weaker at some lifts than others when loosing weight? I'm having a hard time with squats but deads are still going up.

 

[Aztech]

you think you're squats are weak...you've seen my log...i f'ing suck!

 

[Winter]

Nice workout. Ever thought of adding some pre-workout stimulants or something to keep you up and going during your workout to keep your strength/mind in the game?

strength loss is normal when losing weight and some lifts suffer more than others.

 

[adidamps2]

work outs still look good Luq even if strength is on the decline do to wt loss.

Thanks aczech & adida!

@winter: I took fat burner (thermosene) before a few workouts. It's mainly caffeine but I don't react very well to caffeine. I can't sleep and I get very nervous. I've been always been very sensitive to caffeine.

&tman: thanks for your reply!

Today weather is too hot. Not nice for working out.

I finished my cutting today. I got to 170 lbs, waist is smaller, legs too, but %bf isn't as low as I wanted (I'm around 12% I guess).

I don't want to get below 170 lbs because I'm afraid I'll loose too much muscle/strengh. I'm slowly starting to bulk again for another 10 months.

Good lifting Luq. How long did you cut down for? Do you think you can post some before your cutting cycle/after pics?

 

[luquillo78]

I've been cutting natural for 2.5 months, lost 15 lbs. I was going to post pics on the pic forum but I'm not very happy with how I look. I didn't workout chest/shoulders during this time so I look like shit from front view. At least I lost quiet a lot of fat from waist and legs.
1st pic 180 lbs - 2nd pic 170 lbs

 

[luquillo78]

Here's a front pic (after) -- shit I need to start working chest again!

 

[Winter]

You are most definitely leaner now, congrats When do you think you can go back to doing pressing movements?

 

[luquillo78]

I think I'll start this week but very very light.

 

[Winter]

Good luck with that, luq

 

[AngryMuscles]

i approve of your cutting pics and lifts. you are crazy.

 

[adidamps2]
