Week 11 progress pics

Feels like a very slow cut this time round. Objectively, I can see that progress is being made, but I would probably have rushed it on past cuts. This time, I am determined to do it slower and more manageably so that I can hopefully maintain low body fat % when I stop cutting.

Received my new programme and if the leg day is anything to go by, it is going to be interesting. 4 times a week ABAB. And I cannot remember the last time I worked in the 12-15 rep range - definitely sweated during this!

Dumbbell Lunge (Alternate) 3x12 Started with 16kg second and third set moved back to 14kg after risking blowing out

Romanian Deadlift (Dumbbells) 28kg 3x12
Seated Leg Curl 45kg 3x12

Hanging Knee Raises with twists 3x14
Decline Weighted Crunches 3x15 first set with a 10kg plate second set 8 reps with 10kg plate and then without - my stomach was burning - need to build the endurance

Dumbbell Lateral Raise 2x15 4kg
EZ bar upright row 2x15 15kg
