Die. Got a little more sleep last night; My 2012 cutting progress as compared to 2011.

After about a week of waking up around 4:45 AM-ish, the lack of sleep combined with being in a caloric deficit is starting to catch up to me. Yesterday morning I was in a zombie-like state, and I decided that going mountain biking in that condition might not be the smartest thing to do. Instead I did 60 minutes of cardio on my recumbent bike. Even in the relatively safe confines of my home gym… [Read more]

Preparing last night's post-workout meal #2: chicken stir fry. Great workout yesterday, but had to force myself to do it; Chicken stir fry.

For the very first time so far on this cut, yesterday afternoon I was simply not in the mood to train. I was feeling a little tired and lethargic, and I was also buried in work. Like any of that crap matters. When my workout time arrived I forced myself to get out of my office chair and went straight into my gym. Of course (and this is almost always the case), once I got… [Read more]

Well, this is certainly becoming a familiar sight... Waking up very early these days; Busy morning; No TSM this month.

I don’t know what the deal is, but for the past couple of weeks I have been waking up between 4:45 AM and 5:00 AM every single morning. Normally I get up at 6:00 AM without fail (and I have for many years), so this new phenomenon is a little weird. I’ve been going to bed about my usual time–generally around 9:00 PM–and I’ve been sleeping very well. I feel well-rested and have plenty of… [Read more]

Oh boy! Chicken breasts again?! Eating the same foods week after week when cutting: why I do it.

I received an email over the weekend that asked about my diet. The reader wrote (in part), “I was looking through your food logs for your current cut, and it seems that you eat pretty much the same foods from one week to the next. Why is that? Don’t you get sick of eating such a limited range of foods?” Excellent questions! Yes, it’s true that when I’m cutting my diet doesn’t have a great… [Read more]

My Schwinn 231 Recumbent Bike Advanced cardiovascular conditioning.

Yesterday was a cardio day, and my original plan was to go mountain biking. Unfortunately Loki seemed to be feeling a little off, so I decided to stay home and do my cardio in my home gym so I could keep an eye on him (turns out Loki is perfectly fine, BTW). For my cardio so far on this cut I’ve done a mix of fasted 45-70 minute Low Intensity Steady-State (LISS) sessions, short (but… [Read more]

January 2012 TSM: T-1 Sella! January 2012 Transformation Spotlight: T-1 Sella

If you’re looking for some inspiration to get into shape in the new year, look no further than this month’s Transformation Spotlight, forum member “T-1 Sella” (James)! A devastating series of personal and financial events led to James’ rock bottom. As many of us tend to do when we’re miserable, James initially blamed others for his problems and allowed himself to slide further and further away from the person he once was. One day James… [Read more]

December 2011 Transformation Spotlight: NCNBilly! December 2011 Transformation Spotlight: NCNBilly

For the December 2011 Transformation Spotlight I’ve selected long-time forum member “NCNBilly” (Billy). Billy has been an active member of the JSF Forums since the very first week of their inception (January 21, 2004). Some people prefer to undergo a relatively fast and dramatic transformation, while others make changes that are gradually incorporated into their lives over a longer period of time. Neither approach is wrong, it really boils down to which method works best… [Read more]
