Though this is from a morning measure as soon as I wake up, it is also a flexed measure.

Blocked everything out for an entire month and only focusing on work and the gym for the final month of cutting.

Gym: Equal parts in terms of time for weight-training and cardio. Cut out processed carbs/sh!t altogether and only focusing on clean/natural carbs (fruits/veggies) with poultry protein sources (cutting out red meat) and 2 gallons of water/day. Reduced cheat day to cheat meal, and even then kept this somewhat lean. But the biggest kicker was aiming for 10 hours of sleep/day: Who knew more sleep meant more gains. My schedule was work, gym, shower, sleep, and rinse/repeat for 30 days.

Result: This should be obvious. None of my clothes fit. Wasn't able to achieve my 18" arms goal, but came in at 17.7" instead (measured in the mornings). Bodyfat % down to single digit. Energy levels somewhat elevated. I've always had confidence, but now I feel like arrogance is taking over (trying to tone this down before I get put in my place).

Never cut like this before, and now nervous to transition to the bulking stage in a few months. I was supposed to get 2 tubs of ice cream today and finish in 1 sitting as a reward, but scared of "going back".

We knew you werent a nutritionist as soon as you said you eat like 400 big macs a month lol

That was during a dirty bulk stage. Had to get calories in and hit my macros somehow

I'm supposed to be going into my bulk stage in a month, but really hesitant on doing it. The cutting phase, esp. after a dirty bulk, was really rough this recent time around.

Why not just do a clean bulking phase? Up your calories by around 200-300 per day over maintenance/what you’re doing now, add in some extra carbs (clean) and not have such a drastic cutting phase next time.

As we get older, losing that fat/gaining muscle gets exponentially harder.

I keep logs of each cut/bulk phases and goes back about 10 years. Whether I cut from a clean or dirty bulk, the misery is almost the same. The most recent cut phase was a bit more difficult because my only source of carbs came from fruits/veggies and cut out anything processed, whereas before I would incorporate rice cakes/wheat bread.

I've noticed that a clean bulk takes me twice as long to get the gains I target, though there are pro's/con's to both types of bulking. For my particular goals, a clean bulk would have meant eating about 6 meals a day (and for a longer duration), whereas a dirty bulk meant less meals with more calories and hitting my macro's. I also saw a pattern of being able lift more weight and with more reps/sets on a dirty bulk than clean.

In regards to age and metabolism, there has been many new studies that a person's metabolism doesn't start to decline until the 60's. Perhaps it's different for each individual person, but looking back at my records, my calorie surplus/deficit for bulking/cutting have been consistent so far.
