Got a few trophies out of the boxes in the loft to remind myself that I used to ’have a go’ 😀
10 weeks into my little cut back/possible comp prep and down from 191lbs to 175lbs. So 16lbs lost and an average of 1.6lbs per week. Apart from 11 days stuck on 179lbs, fairly consistent loss.
Historic best contest weight is around 158-160lbs so probably about half way, although the actual weight is irrelevant.
Had to go to 2-3 days low carbohydrates (80-100g) then a day of higher carbs (200g) to get past 179lb. I have had to do this in the past too.
Just starting to feel it a bit but much less aggressive than in 2018(?) where I had to lose 2lb per week for 24-26 weeks to get to 161lbs and look crap. Far easier to be 30lbs+ over contest weight than 50lbs.
Next stage is to get to 170lbs in a few weeks. Then see what I look like, decide if I have the desire to do the silly bit and lose the final 10lbs or so, get shaved everywhere, covered in fake tan and prance about on stage. Stupid sport 😂
Needs to be all done by July so I can enjoyed some proper time in France.
Bon courage!
