FOLLOWED AND UPVOTED! I always lift for strength which brought me to an utterly ripped Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter competing at a fighting weight of 148-150lbs (154lbs with Gi) and able to bench 315lbs four times, squat over 400lbs and curl close to my weight, all free weights. Eating super clean and doing cardio many times a week along with training twice a day for BJJ three days a week and gym three days a week. Egg protein like you wouldn't believe and some but not many supplements. That was oh, 7 years ago and now I am 180lbs down from 205lbs, eating terrible, no gym membership but just bought a road bike with my goal to get to a cut 175lbs and able to go back and get my black belt (College and kids cut that out). Always lifted for strength and never size like most guys at my gym. Focused on flexibility and cardio to master my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in addition to conditioning to get the leanest meanest former (still) US Marine I can be. Hope to get some good tips that wont be so restrictive like writing down each workout. I am more of a chest/tri, back/bi, legs/abs kind of lifter. Alternative with BJJ training days and do early morning cardio in the form of long road bike rides or mountain bike trails and even some swimming when the weather is good (live in NY). Great arm development btw. I would like to work on my back more and of course core and focus on getting my body fat down so I can see those abs I have once again. Great post!

As if my reply wasn't long enough I came from a Cross Country Runner (High School County Champion, College Record Holder 5-mile), Basketball PG and Lacrosse Attackman then dropped out after 9/11 to enlist in the US Marine Corps. I can take the pain!
