Should i Cut or bulk? 177 pounds and 6.1 santiagotermi 6 2 yearsskinnykant (1): Bulk. Always Bulk.
Should I begin with a Bulk or a Cut? randallkevin 7 2 yearsrandallkevin (22): You've caught me there. I do want to get bigger then. And then cut down my body fat. I get it now. 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.

Newbie Need Advice End14 5 2 yearsjamiee321 (4): This totally depends on your goals. If you're still wanting to put on some more size but you're worried about gaining fat, maybe do a mini cut. After a short period of cutting, bring your calories back up into a surplus and continue bulking :)

Am I ready for my first NATURAL competition? kubicka 7 3 yearsrobinxchrom (22): If you want to compete, compete. Obviously in 3-4 years of continuously training and bulking, you'll be way more prepared. Its like why does anyone in their 20s whos not 20% bodyfat cut? Because they want to. 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. Its pushing yourself to those deep and low body...

Taking Clen Keleigh93 5 3 yearsTedDansen (10): Clen is a really bad idea with the cardio that you're going to be doing. 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...

I currently do a lot of iron yoga and muscle change classic with weights. I plan to get back to the gym after a big set back in life. Basically I got into a fight years ago because of steroids got taken to the mental hospital by the cops and been over medicated for some years. They can take away my juice but not my chi and prana
Whats happened in 3 years? teewhat 11 3 yearsteewhat (1972): @NorIda thanks man, glad to be back, good to see your still around and jacked AF. So good to not ace to worry about getting into a gym. And what equipment is available.. @EagleRare10 Cheers man. Hope to see you around making gains, thanks for coming along on my ride @Yeags damn man, that's unlucky. My fiancee lover having it there and we got extra rooms if an unexpected MI key came along. Didnt cost or take a lot to set up either
Bulking - 2 month progress djo7 10 3 yearsEagleRare10 (838): Yeah, visually and logically there's no SIGNIFICANT change, but subtly, you look a bit leaner, so if you're actually heavier that's great. Just train hard and don't worry about progress comparisons for like 6 months at least... just my opinion
Is being YouTuber worth it dollar12786 14 3 yearsJsn3004 (3265): It was just a phase 19 hours ago? But if you do decide to make a YouTube channel the goal can't just be money. Tons of people make new channels everyday and almost all of them quit when they realize that it's not easy money.
17, 5'5", 110 lbs. Help? Chandler 10 3 yearsWest165 (574): Have you considered buying a souped up lifted ford truck? Jokes aside, I know where you're coming from. Sophomore year in high school I weighed 135 lbs soaking wet.. I had little self confidence too. Just weighed myself yesterday and I'm at 188 lbs (I'm just coming off a bulk so a lot of that is fat) but when I'm cut i typically weigh 165-170. Just gotta eat, lift, repeat.

I'll see if I can find a store with these models. I do like the elliptical as well but takes up quite a lot of space doesn't it? @Jesus I didn't even think of that but that's a good cheap addition for a nice cardio. Plus my calfs never seem to grow so I think that could help :)

Trouble losing fat, 6yr lifting, love advice Jcoff 10 3 yearsSOLARSUPLEX (8314): I agree with this advice 100%. You've been dieting for so long your body is used to starving. 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. Carbs are energy, not the devil.

Don't get caught up in the numbers, they don't really matter. 2nd. You've been tracking cals/macros for a long time. What is your average daily macro intake? What types of food provide the majority of your calories? 3rd. How much do you sleep a night? My guess, mind you it's not a very informed one at this point, is one of 2...

Starting Log kmac 8 4 yearsLiftamusprime (364): What about lower body? Deadlifts won't just cut it for legs! you'll look out of proportion. Find a routine thats been properly designed and run it for a fair amount of time. 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.

Just eat normally, don't pay attention to the numbers of things you are eating. After a week add total cal and divide by 7. Thats your daily average cal intake. Now look at the days, if they are ALL over the place, 1000,3500,1200 without any real pattern, the results may be skewed but you can still roll with it....

A little advice - newbie to site CHAPP785 3 4 yearsmikew (11494): No need to eat 6 meals per day. I would use My Fitness Pal to track your calories. Set the macros to 50c/30p/20f. Start by hitting your goal of protein goal for the day. I think a legitimate weight lifting program like Strong Lifts and responsible dieting will be easier than following a video program like Insanity.... not my idea of fun. As @SOLARSUPLEX lots more info in the FAQ to help you get started.

Returning to sport oj205 2 4 yearsmikew (11494): I would focus more on Rugby specific drills as opposed to work in the gym. (Might mean hiring a private coach or catching on with a team to train.) And of course a calorie surplus if you want to regain the 20KG you lost... although I would focus more on getting into "game shape" so the conditioning will make it harder to bulk. Still I understand 7 months is a long time and it could be helpful to supplement your training with time...
Help in Calculating Bulk Calories! Oslo1234 8 4 yearshghani13 (163): @Oslo1234 Aim for between 120-150g protein. That's all you will need. However, make sure you are hitting your other macros too. It's alright if you don't have protein shakes. Google protein rich foods. Yes you can get protein from milk, eggs, chicken etc.

When to cut down protein. Olympian_Andy 5 4 yearsFiremanSi (42408): @Olympian_Andy 270 is overkill IMO. And it also depends on how much of a Lean 190lb u are... are you 10% @190lb which means u have more muscle to lose while continuing ur dieting phase.. if ur 20% 190lb then u dont necessarily have to be consuming anything near 270 even 190g is PLENTY.
new to the forum looking for good help max12480 Jump to first page52Jump to last page 4 yearsdarklight79 (3088): Also, to add to what @Beans and @Jsn3004 are saying, it's better to start off at a conservative poundage so that you have more space to progress. 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.

Changing nutrition and starting a routine Kind 10 4 yearsBeans (4204): @Kind all calculators will give a different value, what really matters is just picking one, trying it, and adjusting accordingly. They're all just guidelines, chances are most of them won't be spot on what you need. You CAN take into account lean body mass, but again, it doesn't necessarily mean it's more accurate. Plus, you're just adding an extra layer of guessing. Personally, I'd go with the lower end of your BMR calcs to start off since...

Cutting-But numbers are making me tweak Iadtr 9 4 yearsrobinxchrom (22): I'd firstly try to find our your maintenance and then reefed and push that as far as you can without gaining weight. then cut. 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.

Please critique diet + training! Barbell_Jedi 8 5 yearsSOLARSUPLEX (8314): You have basically broken your macros. Easy fix is to add 50 calories a week until you are back to a normalish number of calories. Hopefully with little weight gain. If you notice you are gaining weight. I'd say more than a quarter pound over the course of the week then you need to slow down on the adding of calories.

Hello, simplyshredded, help me out. livelovelaugh 22 5 yearsFrostshock (13324): If you know where your true maintenance is, go into a 100 cal surplus from that for a week. 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.

Alright, in the military you will be doing a 3-6 mile run or some combination of calesthenics or group PT on most mornings.

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?
Im starting a new routine what do you think> DiLawn 13 5 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 :)

PLEASE HELP. MeganRosehart 13 5 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...

skinny fat bulk or cut? dollar786 5 7 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.

Help and advice needed SamM23 6 7 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...

Need help? StartKit 2 7 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...

My 1.5 Years Progress (Video) Spankky 4 7 yearsOhhLoLo (3393): Yes, consistency is the key. You hit those macros every single day and get in the gym, your body will change for the better. 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

First Timer Female Fitness Competition littleme 16 7 yearsAmy0582 (373): "Typical gym trainer" and someone who specializes in female competitors are not one in the same. I know the typical gym trainer too and I wouldn't waste my time or money with one. However, I also know people who are getting ready for competition and hire people who know about competing and have knowledge and education to back that up. These are usually the people who do well, at least in my experience. Also, as for knowledge on the...

New to ss, my intro MattFinan 4 7 yearsbrian12 (9495): @MattFinan Where is legs day? Don't neglect the bottom half of your body!! Routine is not very good IMO - you have an upper power day and then FIVE hypertrophy days all for upper body. Search about PHAT, or find a good upper/lower split. You should not be writing your own program - your plan is not proportionate. :) Diet wise - its all about calories and macro's. If you wanna bulk a bit then eat above maintenance, cut = eat below...

Where to start AdonisBody77 2 7 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
