I went with 1600 instead of 1500, it was so hard to meet the required macros with 1500, I nailed it on the dot with 1600 tho, and get to have an extra banana
First meal
I had to elminate whole eggs all together, and went with 1.5 cups of egg whites, I could not fit the macros without the fat being to high while having Whole eggs.

272 cals
34g Pro
27g Carbs
0g Fat


this is going to be fun haha.

Should I not deadlift during this cut? ( its not on the list for the routine and as ive heard(from oak) it can be too taxing on the body.?

Meal looks good! 1,600 should be alright.

Yes, skip the deadlifts during an intense cut. It will NOT be of service to you.

was that cholesterol LDL or HDL?

also, eggs have no impact on your cholesterol levels. Cholesterol levels are influenced by saturated fats compared to unsaturated fats. You need at least 2g of unsaturated fats to every 1g of saturated fats in your diet. Try adding NOW! Super Omega 3-6-9 (2-3 caps with every meal).

Also your test level is fine.

Hey Raynor, I'm going to have to stop lifting weights in June, I won't have the facilities anymore so I'm wondering if you know of good, well-rounded calisthenic program by chance? I need functional push/pull strength in the upper body but also a way to build strength in the lower body, I was thinking body squats but I don't know if that will help as much maybe ass to grass body squats?

Also one more question, I have my first amateur boxing match coming up in July and I'm so worried I have a cardio/conditioning question for you, so it's 3 3 minute rounds should I just do 4 rounds in training to make sure my conditioning is the best it can be or do the 3 3 minute rounds but progressively more intensely each time?

Circuit Stations



For the circuit stations, you might want to add in something with punching to simulate the boxing match you have coming. So example, run for 2 laps, stop and start hitting a heavy bag for 1 minute straight, run for 2 more minutes, and repeat.
