QUEST FOR 10 PERCENT BODYFAT PUT ON HOLD UNTIL THE 17TH

I've made a decision and I'm sticking with it, starting Sunday (the 10th) I will begin my cut cycle, after doing much research and talking with some great members on this site (Ken especially) I've decided to start a cut cycle and go the carb cycle route.

Stats- 6'2" 240 (unknown bf, estimated @ around 17-19%).
Workout- Weight training 5X a week. Cardio 3X a week.
-My split usually goes Chest, Back, Shoulders, Legs, Bi's and Tri's (abs 2X a week)
--I just started a program of 4 weeks of 10's 2 weeks of 8's 2 weeks of 6's 2 weeks of 4's etc..
---------

The diet: I will be cycling low and high carb days and always keep my protein @ 1-1.5g/lb/bw. Low carb= .3-.5g/lb/bw High carb= 1.3-1.6g/lb/bw

Sun- Low carb (72-120)
Mon- Low carb (72-120)
Tues- High carb (312-384)
Wed- Low carb (72-120)
Thurs- Low carb (72-120)
Fri- High carb (312-384)
Sat- Low carb (72-120)

Supplements:
-I have enough Lipo 6X to last me until the 18th (gym member tried it, made him break out, gave the rest of the bottle to me) If the funds are there i will buy Jetfuel then.
-I will be taking 2 capsules of CLA 3X a day
-Plan to purchase BCAA's and some other supplements maybe.

Any advice would be much appreciated :)

Here's my baseline diet for a low day, might need some tweaking:

0800-4 whole eggs, 2 whites, on whole wheat bagel fried with 1 tsp olive oil
1000-1 scoop ON 100% whey
1230-2 cans tuna w/ 2 tbsp red fat mayo
1500-1 scoop ON 100% whey
1730-1 boneless skinless chicken breast, fried in 1 tsp olive oil
1930-1 scoop ON 100% whey
2130-1C FF cottage cheese

Totals:
Cals-2535
Carbs-71
Protein-385
Fat-80

Here were my Sunday totals as of 1830(will be adding a protein shake @ 2000 and maybe the cottage cheese meal depending where my totals lie)fat seems a little high (to me) and the carbs should be a lot lower but thats just my perspective, i'd love some outside opinions

Calories: 1,887
Fat: 87.3
Carbohydrate: 95.7
Protein: 172.2

So here's the update on last night, at 2000(8'oclock) my fire dept was toned out for a wash out, needless to say i didn't get back to the house until after 12 because of washouts, road closings, trees down, wires down etc, god i love new hampshire so the true diet i guess starst tomorrow as today i was out from 1030 am until about 830pm running med and fire calls, it's taking a toll on the diet but god do I love firefighting

Sounds like a plan... keep your cardio up and try to bump up your CLA...

The key is to get your body to consume the store fats for energy...

The CLA will help with this...

Just a suggestion, my husband just recently went through the same process and so did I. As much as it stinks for some, cardio at least 5 times a week is essential, but make sure to watch your heart rate so not to burn up muscle. ALso- try the diet turbo tea before your am cardio or the adreyln shot, really gives you a boost!! Good luck to you!! I am also 11 weeks out from my show and every last supplement helps!!!

Thanks Beth, i'll up the cardio to 5 days, i'll either be doing it right in the AM or post workout depending on the time of the workout that day.

Second the diet turbo tea - LOVE IT!

Just somethings I'm picked up also...if dieting, try to avoid fat/carb combos. Also, take a look at L-Carnitine. Great, unrated supplement - look for carnitine from tartrate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnitine

I think overall, things look good. With your higher carb days, I don't think you'll be at a loss of energy. How long do you plan on being on this split? Until you hit 10%? My biggest concern would if you deplete for too long and you start to experience a severe energy drop or a lowered metabolism. But, I think this is a great start and you should no doubt progress towards your goal. You can always tweak things down the road and when needed.

My only other suggestion is to stay consistent with your Thermogenics. I swear by Thermo-cuts from ON and ABB Speed Shot. Speed Shot is a nice treat as it's sweet yet will keep you going. Like Beth said, supplements really can help when you're dieting.

Good luck bro!

Just to further Bogey's advice, I think L-Carnitine is a great supplement. I haven't used much of it but from what I've read and seen, it can make difference over the long term.

Thanks Danny, that's a huge help, I was thinking between thermocuts or jetfuel because I heard great reviews about both. Yeah, I plan on staying on this cut cycle for 10-12 weeks but if I have to tweak things later down the road I will.

it looks good man, and dont be afraid to increase the intensity of your cardio. also, what i did was completely eliminate all sources of carbs..i think my intake was under 30g carbs?? why the bagel?

Looks good, man! This is really the biggest part - making your plan and getting started! Be ready to make adjustments as needed - that makes a huge difference as well.

I mostly agree with the 5 cardio sessions. During my 1st phase, I was working out 3x/week (several of those at night) and doing 2-3 a.m. cardio sessions/week. Here in phase 2, I'm going with 4x/week a.m. workouts (with cardio at the end) + 1 more a.m. cardio session/week. One of those workouts may be a p.m. workout each week. Seems to working good for me. So - just some more ideas to consider when it's time to mix things up a little. Best, man!
