If I don't BULK ... and grow my muscles, than there won't be anything there to look more toned. The CUT then cuts the additional fat gained during the bulk. Thank you for helping me understand the purpose of a bulk better.

If you're asking could you win with your current physique, probably not but if you feel like the challenge or competing then go for it bro! Theres more to competing than just winning.

It puts a ton of stress on your heart just by itself, so if you do any kind of intense cardio at the same time you're going to be dealing with thickening of the heart muscles at least, and a heart failure at worst. Better to go with something milder like ephedrine or caffeine. And if you're not losing weight fast enough, drop your calories. All that shit will need to be...

Slowly give it the food it needs and get reacclimatized to eating 3k calories a day and then try to start cutting again. Also as noted, the percentages listed are correct.

You could try an upper/ lower split, theres a template in the routine for dummies thread but you might need less volume for your experience level. You also need to eat to grow..you'll find all the information you need in the faqs.

Doesn't matter if you think the weight feels too and and that you feel you can do more. You're still depositing into your "muscle account". The gains add up. Don't overthink. Beginner programs are set up that way for a good linear progress.

I cut on around 1750-2100 calories. shredded down, now referring 15lbs+ lighter and eating 2630 calories and still not gaining weight. therefore in theory i could have been cutting at higher calories when i weighed 15lbs+ more.

At the point you're at you don't need to worry about the detail in your arms and calves as much as just getting stronger. Believe me, building muscle and dare I say 'aesthetics' is so much easier once you've reached some basic markers of strength- body weight plus bench, 1.5x body weight squat...

But everywhere that sells wings and pizza also sells salad so don't give him the power to drag you down, you can make your own choices to eat well and exercise even if he doesn't.

If you still gain greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5 lbs, keep that surplus for another week- if you you gain less than or equal to (<=) 0.4lbs then you could safely add another 100 cal surplus. Wait another week. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Lean bulking made easy, just have to be consistent and track reasonably accurately.

Only reason I say this is because I tried to prep for a show earlier this year and shit went sour fast (I was a little bish). Obviously you know it's something difficult to do. So just saying... It's difficult to come in with proper conditioning. Haha. But good luck with your goals and stick around....

6 yearsimcca001 (7): Haha "Why do cardio"....? PT Hours Bro. Alright, in the military you will be doing a 3-6 mile run or some combination of calesthenics or group PT on most mornings. What you want to do is balance that with some very different types of stimulus. I would definitely not restrict yourself to a normal 4-5 day split. Some days you will come in having done a calesthenics day and having some guy tell you to do push up circuts or something...

Your lower chest is definitely on point how-ever, i have quite a long body so struggle to grow the lower part of my pectorials. The only issue i have is i used to be anorexic, and my body type it's very hard to get width in my arms, so from the front they dont look as big as they do from the sides, quite irritating really. Any advice on building width?

6 yearsswollenscott (571): I'd agree with the above. Push pull legs is great. If you want to stay true to the Golden Age and arnold maybe the then popular Chest/back Shoulder/arms Leg Or lee Haney Chest/arms Back/shoulders Legs/abs Might be more your style and allows for more frequency if you keep the sessions to lower volume. However like I said keep it simple and maybe try an already setup balanced plan. Bet of luck :)

6 yearswannabemuscular (33216): Sounds better. Remember, it's a starting point. If you're maintaining weight and don't feel you're gaining as you want, slowly add calories. Like 100 per week or so. And on the flip side, if you're gaining too fast, pull back on the calories a bit or add more cardio. Oh, and nice midsection!

I would also recommend adding a few accessory work to the SL5x5 routine until you start lifting heavier weight. Save the accessory sets for after the main 5x5 lifts and pick two or three that you can do in a circuit/superset with minimal rest times to keep your hear rate up. Once you get to heavier weight on the 5x5 program you might...

The key is to cut out all Carbs(Mega Potions, Diggletts, etc) and Fats (Leftovers or Fried Snorlax) and ONLY eat Protein. I also shot up Creatine and snorted BCAAs but that was a dark period of my life when I was adjusting to the Pokeball.

If you're a skinny fat I wouldn't recommend cutting anymore, i'd focus on a bulk and lifting heavy, try to put on a lot of mass before you actually cut down. Also members here don't think highly on test boosters, or cutting agents for that matter, it's essentially a money scam my dude. I think you got mold and shape (bulk) before you start chipping away and...

They won't magically appear because u start doing more situps. My BMI is fine, my lean mass index has increased as my fat has decreased. You DEFINATELY don't do enough training for your back.

7 yearsfeedthebair (1): I should have put more background into the nutritional side. I do know about BMR and surplus/deficit, my current maintenance level is 3164cal, therefore my intake is currently at 3400cal. This week I will be increasing my carbs to 450g. Basically For the last couple weeks I was at 400g carbs, 200g protein and 100g fat and seeing my weight stay steady, so I have been adding 100cal to my intake every week, if that makes any sense. I am always...

skinny fat bulk or cut?

dollar786

8 yearsBaggy (925): Consider making changes to your split. That is a lot of arm and chest work with a blatant disregard to your biggest (read: best) muscle groups, legs and back. Regards to fat gains on a bulk. Everyone is different so if you feel you are gaining fat too quickly you could cut back 200 calories and monitor from there. My other thought would be that a 500 cal surplus would be a lot if you are only ever working small muscle groups.

Should be a good journey. No point in being a personal trainer if i dont look like one!! Thanks man

8 yearsZny93 (91): Well that "ripped abs and throbbing arms" would be a cut, which is eating ~500 calories less than what your BMR says. Cutting is lowering your body fat percentage, and dropping weight. And with carbs, IF you go on a cut, eat around 100g of carbs a day, this will force your body to use up stored fat rather than the carbs, losing weight & fat. That's what brings out the sculpted arms. If you want to get mass, thickness etc. go on a...

8 yearsmikew (11494): Welcome to this forum. Creatine - take 5g per day (one teaspoon). Timing does not matter. I usually take it before my workout. Some prefer to take it after. Mix with water. No need for a "loading phase". Drink extra water during the day. For your split, it depends on your goal. My advice based on your pic is that you should adopt a program designed to build size and strength. A good place to start is StrongLifts 5x5. There are...

HIIT is very good, in the cutting phase i do on-off sprints (sprint 1 min, walk 2 min, repeat) it really does burn that fat while keeping muscle gains. calories look pretty normal, it all depends on your body type/structure, everyone is different! My maintenance is around 3000 cals and i weight around 188lbs

8 yearsalexmuller (5452): For beginners it is always best to begin with a starting strength program to build up a good base to start adding muscle and gets you used to the gym environment and DOMS etc. If you use google you will find many starting strength programs. You also need to get a diet to start adding lean muscle. We recommend a calorie surplus of about 300-500. Good luck AM
