[Barlow]

Hehe yes im cutting after being on a strange diet for most of my life its time to cut down ABC style, the calipers are ordered, the chicken is cooking and im ready and raring to go!!

im 190lbs now hopefully i can cut down to 170 by the end of the cut n i will be a very happy man!! comments on if this is a reasonable goal wuz be greatful!

Barlow, you're about my size/stats (except the age, youngin'). I'd say that 20#'s is a lot to lose in 12wks unless you're 50#'s overweight (which you're not).

My goal isn't quite as extreme. I'm at 187 right now, looking to get to ~175 with 1-2#'s more LBM. Basically, lose 15#'s of fat and gain a tiny bit of muscle (as long as I don't lose any!!). This should put me right around 10% BF, and that's a good place to be.

Good luck!!

I did a thred on this if it wuz ok for on a cut jus for after trianing and a few people said no n sum yes but its cheap and convinient for me as they sell them at my gym so i can get one right after training is finished. (comments on that subject welcome)

The cardio side of things will be done at the gym of with my rugby team both will be intence!

Thanks alot and hope the ABC Challenge will be a sucessful one all comments welcome and apriciated!
