How's your cut going?
kinda meh, i'm only trying to lose like maybe 5 pounds for summer, so i'm really slacking.
just have some stubborn lower stomach fat, and love handles to get rid of
I went a little over in cals today but I'm fairly certain I burned enough to even out
I don't usually trust that though
I'm 260 now, plan to be 210 before I even think of bulking in ~7 months. 6'4, lifted before but had to stop for 2 years due to injuries. I'm Interested to see how much muscle mass I lost.
>>36158917
going well
this last bit of stomach fat is stubborn but I will keep going till it's gone
I'm completely lost desu
Not sure how much I should be eating
I weight 190 at 6'1" and am probably at around 18 percent bf. What do? Can anyone share their cutting diet plz?
Im @ 100kg down from 107.5 from nov ish
Dunno man, I think I stilll have too much fat but I also have barely any muscle and my lifts are kinda shit.
5'8
153
DL 325
SQ 245
BP 205
OHP 125
PC 160
I should give up the cut and just start bulking till I actually look like I lift right?

Cheated because birthday and it would be very autistic to refuse the piece of cake. Couldn't even go to the gym because of injury.
Been killing myself on the rowing machine but then I end up eating a bowl of pasta with some whole milk. Been drinking mostly water though over the past 2 weeks and I have noticed my Adonis belt is getting more visible so I must be making some progress
>>36158917
Pretty good, I'm down 25lbs from Dec 1st, still have about 20 to go until my goal weight though
Was gonna finish my 6 week cut to 10-12% on Monday, but came down with heavy fever today. How do I salvage my gains /fit/?
been cutting on a 1800cal diet for 2 months now, feel lighter and halved my 1k time down to 6mins.
some how still have the energy to go to gym for 2hrs a day and wake up at 4am for work every morning.
hopefully I will be down to 6% bf from 20% by around October, then I can slow bulk up to 12 and maintain.

p-plz respond

kek
1 hour cardio = 300 cals
1 minute of food = 300 cals
Might as well not even do the cardio and just not eat that extra 300 cals and save that energy used on the cardio for maintaining lifts.
>>36159090
Holy Christ I'm two inches shorter with identical stats minus deadlift. I have way more muscle than you bro. Did you eat much before your cut?
>pic related
Also 250mg DNP
GYM soon it's chestday!!

yeah brah you could be lean at 5'8 153-160
slow bulk and try to get 1/2/3/4 on all lifts for reps, if you want to keep cutting until shredded then probably 10 more lbs but you will be a skelly
been aiming for ~1500 calories (with the expectation that I'll get a few hundred extra in booze). about one week into it and I caught a cold. can't blame it on the cut since it's been going around tho
>>36159179
im on day 11/21 of 250mg dnp also... 12 lbs down and already vascular af lmao.
>>36159172
No I've never really been a huge eater, always been skinny, weight very stable over the long term despite gains in strength. But my lifts have been pretty much where they are for almost a year already, i've just been too afraid to gain any fat that I never bulked correctly. But I'm going to start adding in calories by 50 a day untill I hit a good weight gain pace and just bulk for at least a year.
Here's a silly question: can I still get my noob gains if I never gained a lot of muscle mass before?
>>36159019
I was 240lbs when I started cutting, I normally have a Greek yogurt for breakfast, a chicken breast when I get home from class, then whatever I plan on making for dinner, mostly fresh seafood since I live near an ocean. If I snack I'll have a pack of pink salmon. In general, don't skip meals, but don't load up your plate with food when you eat, and eat lean protein. I found using a smaller plate really helps with porting control.
>>36159166
Yeah but the cardio negates the food so I'm still losing some weight since I end up with a lower calorie count in the final analysis.
I already am maintaining lifts.
>>36159203
>get to 1/2/3/4 for reps
That's the plan. Thanks for the advice. I'll check back in a year after I have some mussle
I'm fucking hungry, mang.

1 hour cardio is 300? 3km at 20 minutes is 200 calories. Add that to 5km at 15 minutes on bike at 20 resistance. That's already 300.
My cut is shit. I'm eating a 1000 cal deficit. Counting with myfitnesspal.
I started my cut in January. I lift 3 times a week and run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Started at 91.9kg. I'm at 91.3kg. Wtf! I've lost a bit of fat for sure. Pants fit better. Gut is smaller, etc. what am I doing wrong, /fit/?
>>36160460
either not counting correctly or not doing as much work as you think, also little things add up.
stick with it, the muscle you are building will require energy when it gets bigger and it will dip into your calories for energy, making you a fat burning machine.
you will make it bro, we all will.
>>36158917
hey pepe
having trouble with my work schedule and lifting...
Somedays I have to bring two meals, and lift after, and I can't eat after my sesh because IF...
ugh
Doing fasted LISS with coffee though, is that just a meme?
>>36159166
There are study's that show if you do cardio it increases your caloric burn thought the rest of the day aswell.
>>36160546
do you have a link to the study that I can read?
>>36160509
Besides running 3x per week, I walk between 10 and 14km per day at my job. I had over 20,000 steps yesterday.
I'll definitely keep at it though. I don't remember it being so hard in my 20's. I'm 32 now though.
It's going fantastic OP, managed to add 20 lbs to bench in two months even while cutting, 100% natty, no noob gains.

Does eating carrots affect your skin color?

>>36158917

>>36159166
Cardio makes you feel good and less stressed though
>literally ate 1 chicken breast and 2 scoops yesterday
>actually gained weight

>>36161689
Water weight probably
Also track everything don't eyeball shit

Cut for dem sloot gains.
Been cutting again after falling off the bandwagon for a few months, Having so much bad food around during the end/start of the year is a damn curse. Luckily enough didn't really put on any weight though.
Anyway down to 150 about 17% bf I believe. Gonna try to get down to 140 and see where i'm at, maybe 130 if i'm not satisfied with that.
Any guesses what i'd need to get at to be 10% bf?
>>36160460
Im on 1000 cal cut and exercise 2-3 times a week. Down to 78 from 92. Learn to count.
I'm a womanlet so I cut at 1400. I had a sad bowl of oatmeal and a jug of mint water. :(

Just broke into 160's. We'll see how this weekend goes. I suck at staying on track with alcohol and all that.

Try caulyflower. Low cal and lots of food. You can make it into "rice" and it rocks.
Also soups are nice for a cut.
