high intensity, anaerobic threshold for cutting?

[jeremys]

dammit i should cut soon. i'm up to ~260 lbs, and i dont think my heart likes that. i've had chest pains the last couple weeks, but i've always had them as a kid too. who knows

i'm just afraid i dont have enough size to cut. i'm also deathly afraid of losing size because i might not get enough good food half the time. i live in a house w/ 6 people, so its hard to eat the way i want

It will pass, I used to feel like that, then I'd start to pig out because I felt small

Cutting is such a hard mental attitude. I have never really cut down, but I have decided that this winter i am really gonna try and Beef it up and get muslce/fat and then try to take it off in teh spring. My concern is that come spring time, when its gonna be cut time, i am just gonna be afraid to cut cause i am afraid that i will get too small.

Right now i have chunked it up 220 and i plan to keep going for a few months. Hell, when it comes time to cut, i dont even know if i am gonna know how to do it.

i know how i'll do it, i just hope i get the diet situated. i actually know i'll look a lot bigger than i do now, so that'll be cool

i think my LBM is somewhere around 190-200 so cut down to what, 215-220?

or should i wait another year until i can drive and have a job so i can buy the right food and not risk losing some lean mass? or would all this extra fat be too hard to take off by then?

Whether or not it will be too hard to take off is something i have definately thought about. I was talking to one of the trainers at my gym and he said he tried to bulk up one winter, and then it took him a WHOLE year to lose the weight come spring time. But i figure he was just lazy, and i will be able to do it.

to get cut, i prefer eating only protien, and ground up flaxseeds(very cheap only 90cents a pound with fiber and protien). youll get ripped in 3 weeks

with NO carbs wouldnt you lose quite a bit of mass?

i should cut like 40 lbs
also, should i do a different routine than doggcrapp's? thats definitely one for gaining size, and i might overtrain doing that and cutting cals a tad below maintenence

the main thing is that i need to cut some bf, and i would also like to be lean for the summer so how long should i plan this for?

also, i dont understand what happens when you get down to your desired bf%...do you slowly add calories back? what does this do?

is it possible to stay lean for a period of time, say, the summer, without losing mass? oh, ehem, NATURALLY?

just do it as slow as possible and you will not lose any muscle, in fact you can gain some.
