This wraps up gym work for week 3 of my "Countdown to Cut". Tomorrow I'll hit a "Habitual Home Workout"- bringing it back! It felt good to get all the workouts in this week. Next week I'll have to modify my training again as I head to Colorado Springs for a few days to work with the stunt team for a series called Fragment. More on that later. I plan to relax and catch up on much needed sleep this weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend. Follow this full Shoulder, Calf, and Ab beatdown below, then walk with Wittig and do it! 1a.

My 'Countdown to Cut' is going great so far. This is the middle of my third week and weighed with a new low this morning. I've been eating good, not hungry, and doing minimal cardio. And I've been able to pull this off with a lot of film work disrupting workouts. I've started to employ some of my favorite cutting workout techniques including this first cable giant set.

I believe my @WittigWorks FB Page is going to hit 1,000,000 here today. Yay! I've had my FB many years, before all the others, and it's taken a long time to build. Thank you all for connecting me with and following my crazy journeys (music, fitness, acting). I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night after a long day on the movie set, but I dragged myself out of bed and hit this gnarly workout to stay in tip top shape. My third week of Countdown to Cut is happening and the body fat is falling off. I kept it basic today because I'm dragging a bit.

Today starts Week 3 of my "Countdown to Cut". So far things have been successful dropping a total of 4lbs these first two weeks despite the heavy film work schedule last week. I wasn't sure I'd make it to the gym today having another film job this morning playing Julia Child's husband (check my Story for behind the scenes). But the shoot was quick and I made time for this leg beatdown. You have to put in the effort to reap the rewards. I dropped in my infamous 'Dead Man Walking' sets which involve walking lunges as the rest periods. Follow this full cutting lower body beatdown below, then walk with Wittig and do it! 1a.

My second week of 'Countdown to Cut' was not ideal, but still very successful. I am currently down 4lbs in two weeks. I'm working for an average of 1-2lbs per week and I am right on track. This last week was tough because I had 3 days on movie sets with very little sleep. I concentrated on keeping nutrition 100% on track and doing what workouts I could. I ended up hitting two intense full body workouts before and after long filming days. While I don't feel full body workouts are ideal for professional athletes looking for maximum results, they do have their place. This cut is coming along nicely. I'll be back on movie sets this Monday and Tuesday. Monday I have a principal role playing Julie Childs husband, then on Tuesday it's back to A Thousand Tomorrow's working with the rodeo stunt team. Staying on track with your goals only involves planning ahead and strategy. Follow this full body workout below, then walk with Wittig and do it! 1a. Leg Extensions: 3x15 1b.

Tonight I'll be working on a series called "A Thousand Tomorrows". It will be the first of four days on this set. Call time got pushed back until later this afternoon which means I had some time to hit the gym and tickle my arms. I hit a full body workout yesterday not expecting to make it to the gym today. Supersetting biceps and triceps is always a good time and creates the ultimate pump. Now it's time to cowboy up and get ready to head to set. I'll be working with the rodeo stunt team. This opportunity is a true blessing. Follow this Arm beatdown below, then walk with Wittig and do it! 1a. Overhead Rope Extension: 4x20,15,12,10 1b. Rope Cable Curls: 4x20,15,12,10 2a.

My schedule changed on a dime this morning and just got wild! Booked four scattered dates as a cowboy working a rodeo (with a stunt crew) starting tomorrow. Booked as a mercenary for a Danny Trejo film this Wed and Thurs. Something big on Saturday. A different film this Monday. Then to top it off I'm being flown into Colorado Springs in late May to work on an action Series, working with a stunt team again, making my 5th state to do acting work in less than a year since doing this professionally. A lot of this just got confirmed this morning so I had to adjust my training split. Today I ended up hitting a full body workout concentrating on the big muscle groups. I'll bring my bands to set the next three days and get my cardio in, then hit another full body workout on Friday. That should do the trick.

Today has been pretty wild. Got up really early this morning to go film a big fight scene for a movie. It was a complete blast and went awesome, but more on that in tomorrow morning's post ;) You can see some behind the scenes now on my Story. As I am writing this I just got an audition for something BIG that I plan to film tomorrow. Let me just say it's been crazy lately. By the time I rolled into the gym I was pretty exhausted, but I stuck to the plan and did the work. I hope you all have a powerful weekend. I am off to watch Dr. Strange 2 here soon with my sons.

After a fun day on set with a legend yesterday it's back to the dungeon for 'Countdown to Cut'. I still managed to get my scheduled 15 min steady state cardio in yesterday when I got home. Today was all about Chest and Triceps. When cutting I superset more, reduce rest periods, and this week incorporating the FST-7 method. After the workout I had a 2nd fight scene rehearsal with a professional kickboxer, stuntman, and the director for pre-vis before tomorrow's big fight scene for a thriller movie.
