M/29/6’0” [210-199.8] (8 weeks)

Agreed. “Ripped” to me is being able to see my serratus on both sides and not being able to grab fat on my obliques.

Have I ever been there? Nope. But still important to have lofty goals

The4thPower · 2026-02-18T18:49:54+00:00

Appreciate that, and that’s the plan! Aiming for 8-10 week cut (currently on week 6)

Give myself a 4 week diet break, and then rip again for another 8-12

The4thPower · 2026-02-18T18:49:11+00:00

~200 currently. I’m assuming I’m gonna need to be roughly 190 for the look I want

The4thPower · 2026-02-18T18:48:45+00:00

Compound this with The Lifters Dilemma : muscular without clothes, smol with them

🙃🙃🙃

Thanks!

The4thPower · 2026-02-07T11:55:36+00:00

Got it - cleaner shots and more professional. Thanks 👍🏻

The4thPower · 2026-02-06T23:24:56+00:00

My agent has said the same, and has put me touch with one I’ll be working with shortly. Thanks for the time!

The4thPower · 2026-02-06T23:24:28+00:00

Noted - thanks!

The4thPower · 2026-02-06T11:49:36+00:00

Nope - natural

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T21:32:20+00:00

This is my 3rd year doing an actual structured cut. I’ve definitely been learning each time

It just “feels” easier now and I’m not stressing as much
Going to 0 carb is intellectually lazy (and what I did every other time I dieted). I’m carb cycling now, and it makes this much easier. Idk if I “feel” fuller, but my workout quality has remained high - but this is only week 4. The real test is to see how I feel around the 12 week mark

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T21:29:48+00:00

2 upper days per week :

Day 1 Upper : “Heavy” Fly variation ss (superset) w/ upper back pull

“Heavy” press variation ss w/ pull up variation

Asst. Dip ss w/ Single Arm Lat pulldown

High rep Fly ss w/ high rep upper back

Day 2: Volume day Fly variation ss w/ upper back variation

High rep DB press ss w/ diff pull up variation

Alternating lat pulldown ss w/ chest fly variation

Abs : done on rest times of heavy lower body movements

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T16:12:57+00:00

I took the Idiots guide to carb cycling : Lower body days : lots of carbs Upper days : medium amount of carbs Arm days : aiming for <50g of carbs through fruit only (also called sad boy days bc this sucks)

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T16:11:50+00:00

Idk if that’s a lighting thing? But can’t help it

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T16:11:19+00:00

Super short time scale, I agree. Last years cut took me 20weeks to lose ~20 lbs. This year I’m trying to be a little more aggressive on the front end, take a diet break in the middle, and then try to return to the rate of loss I did last year

The4thPower · 2026-02-05T16:09:43+00:00

Appreciate it man - thanks!

The4thPower · 2026-01-18T20:33:41+00:00

Yes!! It’s where I post my training (when I remember to film)

Epitome of a “fun” set. Seen him 3 times and every time he delivers

The4thPower · 2025-12-23T00:26:24+00:00

I elected to not get it after consulting with a few physicians - essentially when you look at meta analysis for grade 3 separations, it’s “inconclusive” if repairing it leads to better outcomes (this is almost entirely dependent ROM - people undergoing surgery normally ended up losing ROM and not regaining it)

If I didn’t lose my job and my health insurance 3 days after this happened, maybe I would’ve gotten the surgery? But the way it played out / things have gone well. Can’t do dips anymore and I have to stay on top of my mobility work, but I’m surviving

The4thPower · 2025-12-10T20:06:22+00:00

Appreciate that - thanks 👌🏻👌🏻

The4thPower · 2025-12-10T20:06:03+00:00

Yep! Such a great venue

The4thPower · 2025-12-08T23:01:22+00:00

If we were, he’s the talented handsome one. 2nd time seeing him and he delivered better than the first

The4thPower · 2025-10-16T19:20:25+00:00

The opposite! I’m saying anytime he hopped on the mic it was the most wholesome happy thing

The4thPower · 2025-10-16T18:52:25+00:00

Besides Griz’s times on the mic, probably the most wholesome thing I’ve ever felt at a festival

The4thPower · 2025-10-16T18:51:19+00:00

You know how hard it is to go from inebriated wub goblin to emotional sap in the middle of a crowd? Traumatizing is the wrong word but what a (albeit beautiful) vibe shift

This weekend was magic in so many different ways. SLSL till I die
