Can you stay on a deficit for the entire duration of your cut without negative side effects? For example cutting from 20% to 10% body fat. Are cheat meals/days that put you in a surplus once a week unnecessary and memeish?
this is retarded. cheat meals are for your mind, not because cutting all the time is unhealthy or anything
William Howard
Is using just machines at the gym okay if all you want is aesthetics and strength is a secondary side goal?
Lucas Butler
Where does leptin and metabolism ex etc enter in to it?
Sebastian Williams
it's enough for aesthetics. just think like a bodybuilder and work each muscle isolated
Grayson Diaz

Nicholas Barnes
Thanks!
Hunter Reed
isn't leptin the stuff Dr Lustig talks about? as in fructose boosts isuline wich then blocks leptin what leads to eating more cal than you burn
I don't know shit about 'metabolism ex' whatever the fuck this is

> have a herniated disc > can workout > a nerve or blood vessel is stuck > right shoulder much weaker than the left I am right handed, so what do?
Lincoln Reed
Fap
Carter Myers
I think the imbalance will vanish when you keep lifting with good form. if the lift is too easy for your left side but just right for the other one only right side will get stronger
not so sure if this answers your question

old thread died w/o replies.
I am fatass and i am cutting for a couple of month now at a 1000cal def. I am also doing stronglifts. I lost 23.2kg so far.
Bench 80kg OHP 60kg DL 80kg
can't squad because of bad knees.
It's noticable that I lost weight fitting into smaller pants and my face got slimmer.
But i still look like i didn't lose that much weight.
My questions:
Is that an indication that i am not losing that much muscle? Is this good bad? I don't know how to interpret that?!
I wanna lose more weight, to what point should i cut?
My shoulder look wider. is that because of OHP? If so how is it possible to gain shoulder muscle during cutting?
Gabriel James
When is a good time to start your first cut?
When you don't make any progression anymore?
Or earlier, when you hit a certain BF%?
Carson King
Why the fuck do I get cramp in my leg when doing pull ups/chin ups and how do I fix this?
Grayson Rogers
So I have developed rounded shoulders because I didnt do any reverse flys or like face push (whatever that one is called).
What should I do it fix them.
Also I am willing to buy a brace or band to help fix this, does any one know a good one to buy
Josiah Powell
Is 135lbs too light for a manlet of 5'6"? That's my current goal and I'm 142lbs now. I'm just doing cardio and cutting.
I actually look kind of OK at the moment, but there is still a bit of fat I want to lose. However I'm worried that losing another 7lbs will make me look unattractively underweight.
Basically shall I just keep going and lose the rest of this fat (probs aiming for a realistic target of 13% bodyfat) or start lifting and eating more?
Sebastian Collins
>Is that an indication that i am not losing that much muscle? Is this good bad? I don't know how to interpret that?!
so if you're able to gain strength on a cut you're not loosing any strength. even if I misunderstood you, you really don't loose much muscle on a cut. this is more a myth oming from elite bodybuilders who jump between 5% and 12%.
>I wanna lose more weight, to what point should i cut?
4 visible abs. it's that simple
>My shoulder look wider. is that because of OHP? If so how is it possible to gain shoulder muscle during cutting?
60kg The Press is a lot, good job m8. again, it is really possible to gain size&strength on a cut, especially as a novice and a fatass
> My shoulder look wider. is that because of OHP? If so how is it possible to gain shoulder muscle during cutting? you're building muscle on a cut, because you're still a beginner, just keep at it and keep recalculating your TDEE from time to time
Thomas Green
you should start lifting IMMEDIATELY. it isn't all it takes to make it but without it it's not possible
if you don't want to become fat when starting lifting
Noah Gomez
are you serious? you know why your shoulders are rounded and what exercises you have to do to fix it, what are you even asking?
Andrew Davis
Once I've reached my Protein/Fat/Fiber goal, how should I fill the rest of my calories as far as Carbs go? Rice?
Elijah Johnson
rows are better than pullups/chinups and don't underestimate deadlifts
don't buy anything, it's a waste
don't let anyone tell you it is because of weak rear delts. the rhombiods are the problem. they pull your shoulderblades to the spine
Aaron Baker
What's the best mobility work I can do for my shoulders so that they don't hurt like hell when I'm back squatting. Tough time with the rotation
Logan Williams
you mean you are looking for pure carbs without protein and fiber? eat pure starch then, retard
Leo Taylor
I'm actually lactose intolerant. Does lactose free milk have the same health benefits regular milk does? Not talking about milk substitutes but actual milk with the lactose taken out.
Blake Wood
i felt a slight burning (not painful at all) feeling during my 1set deadlifts in a spot at my lower abs. then the sensation weakened and lasted for ~2 minutes, can't feel anything now, Could it be hernia? Am I fucked, guys?
Jaxon Bell
I find it very hard/impossible to really get my arms behind my back or head if you know what im saying
this is because of the rhomboid issue yes?
any favoruite exercises i can do to help aleviate it
also those elastic band things dont work?
Angel Rivera
I'm bulking, I have 500 spare kcals but I've already hit all my goals as far as macros go, so what I'm asking is what should I eat to also reach my caloric target?
Alexander Murphy
Are there any legal fat loss pills that actually have decent effects? Or are they all just memes?
Adrian Myers
yes. the good stuff in the milk are the high quality protein, calcium and (maybe grows hormones, who knows). bad things are the unhealthy fats and the hormones vegans warn us about. nobody cares about lactose

if you think you need to stretch and work on your mobility more, we have a sticky about that too. I have tried it some time ago but it wasn't necceessary. about the equip, usually it's not necessary. pic related are everywhere
Is Jiu Jitsu a meme or an actually good way to get fit?
Jose Cox
I want to get in relatively good shape before starting to lift. I've been doing cardio and I'm planning on some bodyweight routine.
I mean, if I can't breeze through a bodyweight routine why would I jump straight into lifting, right? Should I just join a gym and do cardio + SS or some other beginner routine?
Charles Gray
my left tricep hurts when I make any upper arm movements. I think from doing L-sits and too many dips.
Anything I can do to get better faster?
Robert Reyes
bodyweight is a great way to start
push ups, pull ups and chin ups, dips, squats, calve raises, leg raises, bridges...
Evan Williams
I think bodyweight stuff is really hard. you need to push yourself, your muscles are burning, your results are low, your motivation is fucked because don't really know what you're doing.
having a strength program is easy. you go to the gym, do the required sets and reps and leave.
about routine, try this SS version: A 3x5 Squat 3x5 Bench 1x5 Deadlift Curls
B 3x5 Squat 3x5 OHP 3xF ChinUps Abs
Xavier Brown
don't go to failure and stretch it
Jayden Nguyen
Cramp is often caused by dehydration.
Chase Wilson
>is martial arts a meme >will being physically active get me fit
memes
literally any carb you want
shoulder dislocates
>rows are better than pullups/chinups 1) for what 2) no
maybe you're straining too much during pull ups
you might be getting too much/too little salt (I forget which causes cramps)
maybe you're not getting enough water
it will put you at a higher risk of injury
Jace Allen
I see. Is Yoga a meme or is it a good bodyweight way to get in shape?
What would you advise to someone who's never lifted before when it comes to how much weight shoudl I try to lift first? I mean, do I keep adding plates until I find something I can barely do 3x5's with and take it from there?
Jeremiah Young
consider me retarded
is it because i dont stretch that i cant bend my arms in certain ways and shoulders in certain ways?
also gotcha on the scamming jews
Nathaniel Fisher
about the rows rows work out upper back more and fix rolled over shoulders while pullups/chinups are more directed to lats
Ayden Roberts
>is martial arts a meme
Well, is it?
Wyatt Lee
Which muscle in your leg?
Hudson Stewart
>barely do 3x5 no with good form. even if the weight is low, DOMS will kill you the next day after your first gym session. highly recommend you try to squat and deadlift with straight back. back pain the next day makes you want to rethink everything
Chase Carter
Likely a shit way to get fit, good way to kill people
Landon Taylor
the rhomboids, traps and rear delts are heavily involved in the chin/pull up, whilst giving you better lat work than a row
also doesn't add to lowerback fatigue so it won't detract from deadlifts/squats
nah mate
no martial arts is a meme if you're just doing it for fitness
Samuel Cruz
honestly I'm still a bit dyel after several months of mostly bodyweight training so take everything i say with a grain of salt, but i really like flexibility exercises and it feels great to be able to do what 90%+ of people can't.
i just find it's a lot more fun to expeirment with your own body than lift weights, not that i have anything against it.
yoga in and of itself won't really get in you shape but i think it's worth doing it on the side after a workout or when you're injured
Xavier Phillips
please re-read my post. I didn't write anything about my back, spine, or discs. I felt it in my abs, and some people say that an inguinal hernia can be painless and some people don't even notice it,
Chase Cox
if you can't do what normal people can you have mobility problems, yes. but don't expect to be a little chinese gymnast girl
Jace Ross
Bodyweight is cool and gets you stronger without taxing your central nervous system to the ridiculous extent of weightlifting. You have to cultivate discipline to do it well and blah, blah, blah.
There's not a fitizen on this board who wouldn't be in better shape if, throughout the day whenever it occurred to them, they did random sets of 30 push ups and 8 chinups. You get gains doing this shit I swear to god. Work harder get stronger.
Luke Robinson
>the rhomboids, traps and rear delts are heavily involved in the chin/pull up, whilst giving you better lat work than a row
at the end of the concentric phase of a DBRow, the rhombiods are flexed as fuck, far more than in chinups/pullups. I'm not saying horiontal pulls are superior to verticals in general, just to fix rounded shoulders, rows are better
What're some good, cheap foods for gaining weight? I can only drink lactose-free milk which is expensive, preventing me from doing GOMAD. Any advice appreciated.
Jason Cook
squatting causes tense feeling and slight soreness in my inner thighs (groin) the last few times. What does it mean? What should I try adjusting about my stance? Feels like if things keep going this way I just might break something tonight.
Isaiah Ward
>What're some good, cheap foods for gaining weight peanut butter olive oil
Jayden Jones
peanut butter and oils
and all those foods are fine, what exactly do you want us to say about them? If you're bulking, you can vary it way more than that. You should probably add eggs.
Robert Miller
I think you're overestimated how beneficial that extra rhomboid rom is, and how much work is actually required to correct rounded shoulders - a majority of fixing bad posture is just making the conscious effort to be in good alignment.
if you have to pick one, I'd advise chins as it's a fuller movement and has more benefits/less drawbacks than rows - but it's fine if you disagree
Austin Fisher
...
Elijah Mitchell
Strength imbalance? I've been doing hammer curls recently and found that my left arm has started to fail much quicker than my right and I can't figure out why. I also notice similar things on other lifts where my left side doesn't feel as activated or quits much quicker.
Jason Flores
How do I implement olive oil into my diet - pasta?
I forgot to add eggs. I was just wondering if I was missing anything critical from my diet.
Ayden Cox
>a majority of fixing bad posture is just making the conscious effort to be in good alignment. from my experience, no
>if you have to pick one, I'd advise chins agreed
but a guy doing db rows has stronger upper back but weaker lats than a guy doing chins, thats my point. I'm off, getting my sleep
Nolan Wright
don't know why too but wanted to say that the same happens to me my right biceps is slightly bigger than my left makes me feel a bit self-conscious
Elijah Butler
Postin in this thread too, /cut/ seems ded
177cm 72kg All compounds past intermediate Unpumped and Unflexed, I-I swear I'm out of auchswitz when I have a pump or when I take a pic sideways
I come here to ask, is it possible to get a bf% estimate? Tried using some calipers I have home but it's garbage or I just suck with it All my fat seems to be on the love handles, shit gives me this wide hip look when in fact, when I pull my fat to the back, they look straight
aiming for dat dere greek statue mode before I lean bulk to hercules mode, as far as I know I might have demi-god genes

Would it taste good on rice? Actually that does sound kind of good.
Brody Nguyen
im 2kg heavier but for some reason my pants are now too big for me,does this means im making gains for what? im a noob pls no bait
Charles Gonzalez
bmi is not a metric to measure anythign really, especially not loose skin. No one can tell you if you'll get loose skin. Want to avoid it? lose weight slowly and smartly. Start lifting, try low impact cardio (I can't imagine having all that fat slopping around is good for your skin), and hope for the best.
Blake James
some tasty food i prepare myself, listening to my favorite song when i get home, helping other people on Veeky Forums
Benjamin Scott
you experienced noobs gains. As a beginner, you have the magic ability to lose some weight while putting on some muscle. Congrats. The ability goes away very quickly.
Aaron Anderson
Hamstring I think
Cameron Jones
Are u sure ur placing the bar on your back properly? Warm your shoulders up before you squat, and maybe stick to low bar for awhile, make sure your hands arent gripping the bar but just holding it on your back by using a thumbless grip. Experiment with grip width as well.
Oliver Perry
Thank user
Brandon Richardson
so I'm around 15%?
No, I bulked as skinny fat and got too fat then I broke one of my feet finger and had a motorcycle accident, both of those left me out of the gym for 4months losing a lot of muscle mass
atm I just want to get 10%bf so I can lean bulk really slowly
Alexander Young
>doesn't know how to bulk >feet finger >had a motorcycle accident jesus, please get in another one that ends your life.
Lincoln Barnes
I know how to bulk, I was just skinny fat and had to chose to cut and be skelly or bulk and get fat
I also don't have english as my first language, I'd like you speaking 3 other languages outside english
