My Micro Cutting Plan
My schedule has always been extremely busy, full of work and engagements. Sport is part of it and has always been. I rarely allow myself to be out of shape and the fact that this year I gained weight made me feel uncomfortable. Of course, I intentionally made a longer bulk period and accumulated a bigger percentage of subcutaneous fat. As a result, I reached 90 kg, which is quite a lot for my height of 178 cm. I had planned to reach 93-95 kg but after I saw a picture of me taken on the beach, my desire to continue gaining went away immediately and I started cutting gradually. For quite a short time, I reached my 85 kg again and was in a much better shape than the previous year. It took me 6 weeks. I would like to share with you my nutrition and training plan for these 6 weeks. It is very easy and suitable for people with busy daily routine who train naturally.
