Mini Cut Vlog Day 3

Overview

• Date: January 3rd
• Current Weight: 21.8 lbs (lowest of the cut so far)
• Reflects a loss of 3-4 lbs, mostly water weight
• Reduced carb intake leads to water loss initially

Initial Points

• Carb Reduction and Water Loss: Carbs bind to water, reducing carb intake leads to significant water loss.
• Weight Loss: Early weight loss in a cut is primarily due to water, not fat or muscle loss.
• Expected Weight Loss: Anticipates losing 7-8 lbs in the first week due to water loss.

Today's Workout

• Type: Pull Day (Favorite workout of the training cycle)
• Exercises: 5 exercises including preacher curl and tar row
• Pre-Workout Supplement: Orange Paradise
• Duration: Around 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes

Warming Up

• General Warm-Up: Dynamic stretching or cardio to increase heart rate and muscle warmth
• Warm-Up Sets:
  • First exercise: 3 warm-up sets
  • Subsequent exercises: Fewer warm-up sets as muscles are already warmed up
  • Example: Only one warm-up set for second exercise (lat pull down)
• Warm-Up Set Structure: No more than 5 reps to avoid fatigue; purpose is to prepare muscles and mind for heavier sets

Choosing Weights for Exercises

• Maintaining Rep Range: Adjust weights to stay within desired rep range (e.g., 6-8 reps)
• Fatigue Consideration: First set is freshest; subsequent sets need lowered weights to maintain reps
• Progression Strategy: Focus on each set individually for progression; adjust weight based on performance of previous set

Community Interaction

• Voiceover Feedback: Positive feedback on the voiceover format
• Future Plans: Continue using voiceovers and incorporate Q&A to make videos educational
• Question Example: Addressed whether warm-ups are necessary before each exercise and how to structure them
• Another Question: Discussed if it is better to reduce the weight on each set or maintain the same weight

Additional Details

• Mic Arrival: New microphone arriving soon for enhanced audio in future videos
• Cardio Post-Workout: Completed 10 minutes on Stair Master
• Caloric Intake: Approximately 2500 calories per day
