super fast cutting - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hi,
I've found out I may have to go on holiday in just 3 weeks.
I've been bulking up since January getting from 12 to 14 stone. I was 14 stone before but got very ill. Lost 2 stone and battled to get back.
I had to eat like a horse to put back the mass.

Well now I'm just under the 14 mark, 86kg. 5 feet 11 inches tall.

I'm not too bad right now but I hope to get a 6 pack or close. I've done lots of sit up training but like most people the fat is covering my fantastic abs. So if I eat maybe a tin of tuna a day and a breakfast cereal, possibly a small meal in the evening can i drop the fat quick in time for my holiday.
I'll do cardio and or weights 3 times a week. I don't want to lose the muscle i've worked so hard to regain.

Cheers for any advice, its the 1st time i used this section.

I've attached a picture. Sorry its not very clear.

thanks

from that picture you wont get any where near abs in 3 weeks

not trying to offend

just being realistic

Eat 6 smallish meals a day and do cardio am and pm everyday. It'll be alot and you'll prob be overtrained but you it shud help u shed fat quickly for your holiday. But i agree abs are very unlikely.

cardio am 40mins 6 times a week will shift some fat if your diet is clean.. maybe try a low carb diet for 3 weeks...

but to be honest mate... its not gonna happen in 3 weeks unless your already very lean.

just repeating what jimmy and liam said really...

Get yourself a copy of sliced and follow the carb depletion plan. Thats your only hope...

haha thanks guys.

Doesnt look good for me

Kezz · 30-04-2008, 04:46 PM

you look like you need to shed about 2 stone going by that pic mate

chrisj22 · 30-04-2008, 04:51 PM

Try a TKD, combined with lots of cardio, but as Jimmy said, being very realistic, it isn't going to show your abs in 3 weeks dude.

The body will not go into fasting mode in such a short time and the body is resiliant to short term weight loss. the problems occur in terms of thyroid, hormone and metabolic influences comes with long term chronic dieting

3 weeks of lots of cardio, minimal carbs and manipulation of water will have you looking leaner but is that better. Im fcuked if i want to go through that to look flat and average

as the gents say, your not going to see your abs (even if the rug is shaved off) in 3 weeks and the thought of trying is not one worth bothering about just to be slightlier leaner than your mates

95% of people in the UK are not in great, even good shape

enjoy your holiday and maybe look at leaner gaining in the future

if you are hell bent on this see the depletion thread given above but i dont hold out much hope if i have to be honest

ok i'll go hardcore cardio and control my diet. I'll see how i do.
Like I say I have been bulking for nearly 5 months so expected some fat gain.
Unfortunately tho my holiday shifted forward again to 16 days from now.

Not wanting to be super cut just a bit leaner.

shaving alone will be helpful to make you look leaner
