Tfw cutting season is about to begin

>Finally got bored of "training for strength"
>Moved to a more bodybuilding style of training
>Going on my first cut ever

I'm gonna do it brehs

>I was waiting to hit 2pl8 so I can start cutting
>reached 95kg
>injured my shoulder

you're meant to always stay relatively lean breh

>lent
>not already cutting
Never gonna make it

this

cutting is not supposed to be some arduous multi month process unless you are fat as fuck, you should always be within reasonable striking distance of 10-12% bodyfat

you're just wasting time doing it like this.
it's much more efficient to eat at a large surplus for a few months and then cut the fat away.

>mfw I'm going to work to death for money gains at the same time my cut starts

Perfect timing. Won't be able to keep a high calorie count on 60 hour work weeks, working both night and day passes.

no, it's much much less efficient to do that

you will already be maximizing muscle mass gains with a ~250 calorie daily surplus (unless you are a novice) which is going to be about 2lbs a month, so you bulk for 4 months and gain 8lbs and then you can cut that away easily with a month long aggressive cut

im 5'7 170 cm 69kg what is my bf% ? should i cut till 64 or 60 or bulk already?

try lifting weights

its already cutting season

Guys I thought c-cutting season wasn't till March....am I too late? Will I not make it in time for summer?

but first ill go to 10% bf then bulk isnt?

March is 10 days from now you dolt. That's very soon.

AHHHHHHHH

cut first

I was skinnyfat and bulked first and have always regretted it

nice boobies

nice gyno

Anyone else get depressed when on a cut? I fucking hate it. I hate having to fucking be selective in what I eat, and it's even worse because I like to eat out and have to pick around what I order or get some bullshit vegetarian option or a salad or some shit. I fucking hate it. I wanna eat what I want. Oh well, it's worth it.

I feel the exact same way, breh. I'm always hungry, I look forward to every meal only to come out wanting more, and the food you do eat is bland as fuck. I'm also constantly low energy, and have a low sex-drive.

Literally the moment this cut ends, I'm going to have a day where I gorge myself on doughnuts and waffles.

The fear of failure keeps me in check. I can't go back to being a loser.

>Cant go back

IKTF bro. we're gonna make it. it's only the first few weeks of the cut that are the hardest. then you start seeing results and the hard work pays off when you look in the mirror and see how far you've come. good luck bro

I've only been on this cut for two weeks and some change, good to know it gets better. Thanks, brah.

Speak for yourself faggot
Unless you're dirty bulking like a retard,if you're below 18%,you've got until mid-may to start cutting

>mid-May
speak for YOURself user, i'm from Texas. it's fucking 90 degrees by mid March. gotta be ready

ok thanks to 10% or 15% ?

10

do you even eat bræh?

thanks

whats that

how long does it take to go from 13%bf to 10%bf on a 250-300kcal deficit

four times as long as if you stopped being a stupid pussy and cut on 1000 calorie deficit with high protein

>cutting on a 1000 deficit

i'm not roiding and plan on maintaining my muscle
let me guess, I should bulk on a 1000 surplus too?

If you're not doing IF you're literally cutting wrong.
It's the best way to retain muscle mass while on a cut.

bråw. eat some food bræh

no, you should bulk on a conservative surplus of 250 calories or so

cutting that slow is totally retarded, you will not lose muscle on a 1000 calorie deficit with adequate protein intake and training

i'm actually trying to help you because i used to do the same stupid shit you're thinking of doing, but you are going to ignore this advice and waste your time anyway

I started mine today. I'm a fat fuck, 228 lbs this morning at 6'0", heaviest I've ever been in my life. I hurt my back a little bit on Friday doing that stupid meme 4pl8 deadlift, so I'm hungry, grouchy and in pain today. But it'll all be worth it eventually, right?

Thats 1/2 lb a week weight loss. You do the math. Theres really no reason to cut at less than 500cal

shoo shoo DYEL, nobody cares. enjoy your sub par gains.

which retard told u that u will become skelly mode...just lift weight...

stay stupid then faggot enjoy taking 2 months to cut 3% bodyfat pussy

this is why giving advice on Veeky Forums is fucking pointless it's just a bunch of catty DYELs who think they know better

+1

Except ya'll all lost cuz I fast it all away and get cut in 20 days

it requires MINIMUM 2g/kg protein so how the fuck are you gonna have proper carb intake for performance and proper fat intake for hormonal balance eating like 1k kcals?

how intermittent do you consider intermittent? One meal a day or one meal a week or...

>eating like 1k kcals?
is your fucking TDEE 2000 calories a day you DYEL faggot? maybe try getting under a weight some time and you might expend some calories fuck

or maybe try not being 5'2" that might also be helpful

what were your lifts when you got bored of strenght training?
asking for a friend

one 4 hour feeding window every 24 hours.
one 24 hour fast once a week.

Should I switch up routines while on a cut? Or keep lifting as usual?

the person with a average height of 5'9 has maintainace of 2000 calories

>the best way to retain muscle mass while staying in a catabolic state is to purposefully not have any amino acids in your blood for most of the day
???

25/yo male, 5'9", 165lbs has a TDEE of 2700 with moderate exercise

it could easily be much higher than this if they actually train hard

if you have a TDEE of 2000 calories a day, you are a female

>obese
>mice

>I fast it all away
If you mean your muscles then yea

you can lose 1lb a day on a fast diet with exersize, I have to lose 25 pounds so Im starting early march

A properly done PSMF is almost certainly superior in your situation FWIW

lifting 5 days a week isnt moderate exercise you mongoloid

lifting =/= boxing

Are there any success stories of Protein-Spared Memefast? It sounds so retarded.

Thats 1500cal/day. There is no need for 2g/lb protien for a natty beginner. Dont listen to the guy who pretends nearly 3k maintenance is normal but you will regret having to cut for so long if you dont cut at 1lb/week at least.

try putting something on the bar

2g/kg*

im intermediate on all lifts including pulls and dips except bench where I hit proficciet

guys should i cut first?

what is there to cut?

you're near Auschwitz mode

>just started bulking
SOMEBODY LOCK ME UP

i may be jewish but please dont say auschwitz mode im offended

Intermediate on symmetric strength is still a beginner in terms of recovery

bulk jew

What's my bf% guys?

Pls someone respond

looks pretty low desu. 10%

25~30%

what would you say my body fat % is? even though im auschwitz i cant even see abs lel im probably 50%

25%

>have reached 1/2/3
>still need to DL 4 pl8
>10 days until march
>my lower back fucking hurts
I don't wanna go another year before reaching 1/2/3/4 lads, hold me :(

Bulk, become the Judenrat you were meant to be

>want to do 3 months of stronglifts on a 500 cal bulk
>look up how much weight i'm projected to gain if i keep up with it
>6 kg in 3 months

is this shit serious? i need a full year to reach my goal weight before i'd even consider cutting. guess im going to the beach in a tshirt

Woulnd't you only gain 5kg from a 500 bulk over 3 months (90 days)
500*90= 45000 (calories)
45000/9000 (calories per kg of fat)
5kg

Try intermittent fasting + carb refeed days (only when you get close to 12% body fat though).

It made cutting super easy for me and I was able to go from 16% to 11% in about 8 weeks. The first few weeks were difficult with hunger pangs as my body got adjusted to my new eating window (used to eat from 8:30 AM all the way to 9:30 PM). Drink lots of water and make sure your electrolytes are in balance - ESPECIALLY if you're doing keto.

You could keep one day of the week as a carb refeed day and make sure you have lots of clean carbs like oats, pasta, and rice (I would ingest about 65% of my calories from carbs on a refeed day). Avoid processed sweets of course. Up your carbs slightly on training days and keep them very low while not training.

Same as you friend.
I am avoiding pushing myself too hard on DL after I saw that video about bicep tears.

>avoids processed sweets
no
carb day is to confuckulate your metabolism and restore T3 hormone
you should be consuming both "clean" (rice oats etc) and "dirty" (pastries, sugar) on this day

100%

i rounded up 3500 cal = 1 lbs to half a kg because i was too lazy, that's even worse though, i swear i've seen people pig up in less time

>i swear i've seen people pig up in less time
Those people go above 500 cal excess and live the dirty bulk life

Been cutting since august 2017. Im in the shape of my life and look awesome

>kyriakos grizzly bloatmaxxx is less of a meme than having low bodyfat

>he fell for the starvation meme

same thing happened to me. linear progress until tendinitis

I'm climbing Everest starting in a little over a month. Will probably lose 30 lbs. El oh el.

6'2" 215 lbs 15% bf (been bulkin)

You goin to the top or just hitting up the base camp

I've been cutting since May. I've lost 40kg and I feel amazing. I still have at least 10 to go, maybe more.
