13/58mins
58mins + 20 w/u + 10 c/d = 88mins

I kept sets to 4 today since I cut pretty hard again all week, and 4 sets per exercise is probably overkill here anyway.

GROUP1: I did a few less reps in w/u today and got right to the heavy stuff. Really good hack squats with the drop set being brutal again, but loved it. I had to sit down and rest a minute or two after these before moving on to bench.  Bench and t-bar rows were good. Bench felt heavy today and I couldn't get over 6 reps on last set of either exercise.(24mins)

GROUP2: Deadlift again today and started heavier than normal instead of ramping up. These were good, but I was really starting to feel exhausted half way through these and wasn't sure if I'd get through OHP and pullups, let alone any add-ons later. OHP was good and pullups were really good. 8 reps felt pretty easy until the last set.(21/45mins)

ADD-ONS: Got a little bit of a 2nd wind and did low volume for incline, CGBP and curls. I did 4 sets of heavy cable crunches, which were good.(13/58mins)

Overall a really good full body WO.  Even though I did struggle with energy about half way through the WO, none of my lifts really dropped off. Heavy hack squats, plus the drop set take a shit load of energy out of me so I was happy to get through this WO so well during a cut week.

Nutrition:
I weighed 174.2 this morning. Very pleased.  I expect this to spike over Memorial Day weekend, but hopefully it will be a longer, but more controlled re-feed rather than one extreme day.
