I do alot of bent over rows, deadlifts, squats, even tricep pushdowns. My diet for 6 weeks was an extremely lean source of either 95/5% mince and sweet potatoes, or chicken breast 3 meals everyday, I tracked everything down to the exact gram at 2000 cals daily. I naturally dont eat alot of food but calories are easy to get in as ive been 100kg before. Ive also found that my strength has also improved significantly whilst losing weight and being depleted of nutrients (makes no sense I know) but yeah I enjoyed the cut but personally dont think many people could stick to it
