Hey Joe/Bryce/All,
Been cutting for about 6 weeks now. Down about 10 lbs to 6’2 205. I’ve always been lean”ish” but in July I hated what I had become (roughly 16% bf). Figured I would cut for about 10 weeks and really love what I’d see. I’ve been training for about 11 years and tend to have a pretty good grasp on nutrition.. for someone without any real background and thanks to HTC. I recently measured for the first time in about 5 weeks and noticed my arms are down a quarter inch, legs down a half inch, chest/back down 3/8″, and calves down a quarter. I get super uncomfortable at the thought of losing muscle and/or size because I was so skinny up until about 9 years ago. So when I cut, I tend to cut it short thinking I’m losing muscle. Am I overthinking all this? It’s only 9 lbs but that drop in measurements seems pretty drastic. Could be water, I guess. Just curious if anyone else, including the coaches go through this, if it’s normal, or if i am right in panicking haha. Btw, lifts are still pretty consistent and I have seen decent changes in the mirror in 6 weeks.
Anyway, thank you guys for all the content and information. Can’t express how useful it is and how much I enjoy you, Joe, on all platforms.
