Hey
So summer's almost here. You know what this means? Festivals! Beach Parties! Hikes! Camping! Tanktop Season! Time to show off those gains! Anyways how is your porgress on the cut going? Mine is horrendous, ive got a lot of cutting to do in about 2 months about 10 kg. Any tips/.
I weigh 169lbs and can probably cut 10lbs. What does my daily carb intake percentage need to be and what does my daily fat intake percentage need to be?
That's a bit much for 8 weeks
I'd say 7kg is a lot safer
Just track calories, get some cardio in, eat vegetables as they're not calorie dense in the slightest
As for my cut
I was cutting for a few months (started lifting as a fat ass a few months ago) and lost around 30lb. I still had some fat I wanted to get rid of but my lifts were going up so slowly I wasn't making any real progress. A lot of them stagnated, but what made me decide to say fuck it and bulk was getting to a squat weight that made me so sore, I felt crippled for two days straight
Summer bulk, here I come

They sound like the awful sort of things where you see other people. Except maybe hikes.
Lost 8kg since the start of February. Should probably be pleased. I'm not. Oh well.
I'm gonna have to skip legs this week due to some knee/back pain (working on my form dont worry)
Should I eat at maintenance to avoid losing a ton of leg strength or will a week be fine?

leave close enough to the equator it's already full blown summer by american standards.
went back to lifting three months ago, started cutting.
was buff enough when started, only wanted to lose some fat.
stayed exactly the same weight. lost considerable fat (probably not 4 kg but It looks good) but gaind more muscle then i wanted.
look like a gym freak, shoulders are fucking monstrous.
taking a break from cutting for a weak and then going all in full power no carbs high rep low intensity shit.
man cutting while being a student is fucking harsh.
sorry for retarded english. blood sugar is low.

is intermittent fasting a meme?
>had music for dinner again
Went from 230 January to 193 today. The end is in sight now and I'm gonna start lifting next week after 4 months of cardio.
Lost 5 out of 10lb so far, these last 3 weeks have been going well.
I frequently end the day at a 2000 cal deficit due to excessive cardio and diet, but I make sure to always get 1 to 1.5g per pound bodyweight in protein per day. Am I garunteed to be losing gains here?

Hey guys I need to cut 43kg in 2 months or less any tips?
>>36845571
That's 0,7 kg every day, or a 5000ish calories deficit every day.
I suggest drinking a lot of water, vitamins and running enough to burn 2000 calories.

Your best bet is to take up cycling desu. If you can bike to work, do it. Start putting on 20-30mi a day, dieting properly. You won't lose your goal, but you'll lose a lot
>>36845329
Chew gum
Do a few dozen push ups, sit ups and bodyweight squats when you get home.
Eat an extra 150 kcal.
Started at 256 in January

>>36845263
>2000 deficit
Fuck man, how big are you, how much of a diet deficit and how much cardio?
Gone to shit. Totally fell off the wagon for an entire week. Probably gained like 4-5 lbs (idk to scared to step on the scale) so right now things aren't looking to great. First day trying to get back into my cut. Sigh.
Around 86kg now down from 92 in february
I've been doing a pretty slow cut but I've managed to increase my numbers so I'm pretty satisfied. I'll probably cut down to around 80 kg and stay there until winter, then start bulking back up.
>>36846097
Exact same thing happened to me, my mang. Just get on with it and get it done.

Been at it for 3 weeks, at 1800 k/cals a day and the weight is coming off extremely slowly, like a pound every 2 weeks. I miss the days back in i'd lose a pound every 3 days.

Do you actually think that your strength will suddenly vanish in a week or am I being rused?
So this is my first cut. I got a question. How quick can you cut? I'm on week 7 out of 12 and I'm seeing some great progress. But I'm wondering if I I could possibly cut quicker or if I'm going to have to extend this cut throughout the summer.
I'm 5'4, 135 pounds. Cutting at a little under 1700kcals. I spend 40 hours a week on my feet. Lift and do twenty minutes of HIIT on the treadmill 3 times a week.
My TDEE seems to be at about 2100-2200kcals depending on the source. I've been thinking about either slashing my calories to 1500 or adding in a few days of LISS cardio. Just a 5k on my rest days.
Is there any harm to this? Assuming I get my protein will I lose muscle?
>>36846697

>>36847013
Slash calories, you're already doing everything else possible. Be prepared to lose some muscle though. Replace a food or drink with a diet choice or water.
Studies are mixed. Some say slow cutting is best to preserve muscle, others say quick cutting. Honestly, at your level it probably won't matter.

I fucked up last night guys. Got high and ate the following:
- 1 x small triple fillet bondi meal from Oporto
- Potato chips
- Some caramel popcorn
- 7/11 sandwich
- Chocolate bar
Dissapointed, will fast today to make up for it.
can you guys post your stats? 5'10 165lbs cutting on 2k cals, does that seem high? i went to the nutritionist today at my school to see what she thinks and she set my MFP to lose 1lb a week which then went to 2300 cals, before i was doing about 1800 cals and she thought it was too low for someone my activity level (gym 3x a week)
>>36847013
The real question is why are you cutting when you are 135 pounds

At least the love handles are gone...
Weight loss is going slow but I'm not losing strength, which is good.
Currently swimming 1 mile every other day in addition to lifting in order to cut, prefer not to give up eating.
I want to get swimming to 2 miles so all my weight loss comes from cardio and I can get lean with a normie diet.
5'10" . Think I should be pretty shredded at about 81-82kg.
>>36848836
rip all LBM
>>36848780
Cut started at 5'10", 200lbs. I have a fairly good chunk of muscle and am active so I cut on about 2500 calories right now.
Personally at our height and your weight I would never bother cutting, but it would probably require about 2k cals depending on activity.
>>36848868
all of my progression has stopped and i have very little LBM so instead of recomp i decided to cut to 150 and then do a clean bulk.
so I started the ECA to help with cut and my body hair is growing like crazy. Never had a single chest hair before and now I'm getting all these crazy straggles on my chest and stomach. wtf.
>>36848889
Yeah that sounds fine. When you bulk, do it slow and long. Otherwise you will be bouncing around in between 70-75kg forever with no real gains.
I did that for 2 years, then got pissed off and just bulked 17kg over 12 months or so. Wayyy better.
>tfw about to start 21 days of DNP at 250mg

>>36848717
Yes. I lost 30 in 3 months. Just have to be strict, no "cheat days", and do tons of cardio.
>>36848922

>>36848922
sweat. What source you use and what was your ship times?
Been lifting 3 to 5 days per week for almost two years now with permabulk. Literally went from overweight lazy ass to feeling miserable if I don't lift at least 3 times per week. Started at 210lbs of fatass to weight constantly shifting between 185 and 195lbs.
In mid-February I moved to a new apartment, was at 195lbs and decided it was time to cut. I had no progress at all the first two weeks but now down 15lbs, been cooking more than I've ever been and saving so much money from not going to restaurants during lunch break or drinking as much alcohol.
I'm at 180lbs today and next week will be the lightest I've been in 10 years by being under 180lbs.
Goal for now is 165-160lbs but I really don't know what I'll look like at that weight so I'll go lower if it isn't enough.
Birthday tomorrow. I'm just gonna pretend calories don't exist for a bit

>>36846416
I've been using it for two weeks now on an IF 16/8. Lost several pounds and all my shirts fit better, my tummy is smaller (actually feels smaller), my fat pecs are smaller and more pec-like.
I wake up at 6am and pop 7 pills have cup coffee and then walk for any where between 20min to 40 min depending on my schedule. Then after walk I take one more because yohimbine has a half like of like 35 min, so taking one more is just a bump. Don't take more than 20mg though.
Dose is calculated by .2mg yohimbine for every kilo of body weight.

Paramedic. Probably have a fat partner who gorges themselves on fast food and sugary ass coffee. Like they all do
I'm not cutting this summer I just switched to a 16/8 IF recomp with fasted YHCL cardio in the mornings on cut days and added cardio to my lifting days also. Eating a bit leaner as well.
Trying to maintain about 163 currently at 5'7" and lower BF and keep making strength gains. It's a bit tough trying to keep muscle gains, fat loss, and strength gains in perfect balance but it seems to be working so far.
I'm not willing to sacrifice any gains at the moment for shedding a few pounds of fat. Maybe next year. Im probably around 14% right now.
>>36848780
>>36848868
Sounds high to me famalams. 5'10", 158 lbs here. Cutting on about 1500 cals. Admittedly I don't have much muscle (started at 192 lbs at Xmas, fatass all my life), but I lift 3x a week and do cardio every day.
I could maybe cut at 1800, but I think I'd need significantly more exercise to make up for it though.
>>36844371
Too humid. So Cal's where it's at.
>>36848922
it's not that bad. mild heat flashes only after you eat a good amount of carbs
however, be prepared for nasty lethargy at the end of week 2- week 3.
So is it at all possible to build muscle during a cut?

>Sounds high to me famalams
I lift, swim and weigh 50lb more than you. That's why I can cut on 1000 more calories.
Been cutting since January, down 30lbs. Got around another 10 to go.
I'm actually going to summer bulk since I'm going to Australia for Christmas next year and Christmas is their summer time.
Thinking of maybe doing a year long bulk and then starting to cut around July next year.

Will I die? I am consuming no other sources of caffeine, I am not on meds, I am on a 1500kcal diet. Dropped 3 lbs so far, (push/pull/legs + 2.5 mile run 6 days a week, sundays off)

I lost 15kg in 4 months. And I was pretty strict with diet and exercise. 20 in 2.5 months will be very hard. if you want to starve your muscles away it could be possible.
Just finished a 10 day DNP+adderall cycle. Down 13 pounds from it so far. Hopefully when this water weight comes off it will look even better.

>>36854090

>>36854097
You're not gonna make it for summer season then, cut it out alltogether and you might, hold back on that alcohol until it's beach/party season anyway, instead of being a typical stupid teenager who "can't controll their alcohol urges" they never had growing up
>>36854118
are you trying to meme me dude? like 5-8 drinks of vodka and diet soda once a month doesn't do shit
alcohol only becomes a problem when it interferes with your workouts and recovery. i plan these cheats so that i stay within my calorie intake. i have lost 30lbs already, there's no reason i can't lose 20 more by late summer.
i think i smell a bitter straight edger

nope, 3 months. i don't count all macros, but i do track calories and protein, i get in at least 180 a day usually more

Don't have the time to bring up charts and facts and shit like that at work, all I'm saying is the alcohol goblin is just a stupid phase for every guy in your age and the sooner you quit the better, cause it's only gonna hinder your gain progress

Eat healthy and do cardio, it might not solve all your mood problems but it will definetely not make it worse
>>36854185

i was under the assumption that it only became a goblin if you're doing it like once a week, am i just fucking retarded?

im getting weaker again this is not fair
fuck cutting
>>36854203
I only drank once a month as a teenager as well, and if it's one thing I regret is drinking, even if I did it only like once a month/every 3 weeks. Not only for the embarrasing moments famm, but halting my gaining muscle/loosing fat and ending up with regret every summer for not meeting my goals completly.
>And what about marijuana
If you are doing cardio, you definetely should to burn fat for fast ab gains, then consider stopping, or at least cut it to once a month and smoke it properly: without tobacco and bong/vaping. Smoking lowers your oxigen intake by 15%.
How the fuck do people even count calories? Do you measure every apple you eat or every slice of meat you grill?

>>36854298
I can eat more than when I just guess how much I should eat per day
I don't have to worry about that I've eaten too little or too much since I can just eat more or don't eat more for the rest of the day
It's the ideal thing for maintaining and loosing weight, never had a reason to bulk so I don't know about that.

No amount of lifting and dietary changes will do much for it champ.
Staying off processed sugars and such helps make it a bit less unbearable, but that's about it.
I'm somehow not an alcoholic though, which is good I guess.
Gonna make it one day brehs, slowly but surely.
>>36854298
even if you weigh everything, it doesnt even add up to 5 minutes a day. And like i said, after a while you know Meal X = 700 kcal, this shit = 200 kcal etc
>>36852105
Nah, you're fine
>>36854298
You can't be fucking serious man? I'm a serious work in progress(from 320 down to 250 currently and pushing down harder) and the absolute fucking KEY to this shit is proper diet. Fuck working out for an hour, that only keeps your muscle a bit more while losing, it's all about the diet. If you aren't willing to at least go "hey click Myfitnesspal app on phone and scan QR code or type in banana" and add that shit up, then just forget it. Also I find the real key is if you are unsure whether or not something is say 300 kcal, or 340 kcal, just always go with the higher number because it's better to be under than over.

We don't use those here, unfortunately, but I'll find a workaround.

Your bro science is showing
>>36854398
I actually meant bar code and fucked up what I said. Even if you don't use a bar code, there has been like 10 times in my 2 years of using it where I didn't find exactly what I was searching for. That library is fucking huge.
>>36854298
Takes like 30 seconds to put it on the food scale and load that info into myfitnesspal. It's not exactly rocket science.

Why do I need to sign up to check how much calories a banana has?
>>36854490
You have an account and it tracks all your measurements(sizes and weight) plus if you know BF it does that too. You can create macro goals and shit and it has a full diary that tracks up to a year.

Don't you have a throwaway email account?

Same here famalam, just recently started going to the gym. Any tips? Also I'm doing >SS
i just want my gut to go away...should i risk going skeleton and get rid of my gut by going down to like 150 lbs or should i say fuck it and bulk up to fill out my upper body
>>36854997
I'm going full skelly and then going to bulk back up from there. I'm sick of having fat on me
Cutting is going well. after a successful bulk, finally time to cut. good thing is that i feel my performance enhancing the longer i cut. slowly but steadily. aim around 5kg down until end of june.
what works for me is to load up every few days to 100%TDEE and then cut again for 15%-20% for a couple of days. lot's of meat and complex carbs and veg to curb appetite.
worst is that i had to lower my workout intensity, otherwise i would feel like sleeping all day...
Hang in there brehs, we're all gonna make it!
>>36854997
Whoa whoa. Gotta actually lift there bro.
The left is almost my whole progress (started a few pounds heavier) and the right is my last month's progress
So hyped to break 190 soon
>>36855243
my shoulders been out of commission for a few months and i only just started lifting again today
bump for motivation
>>36854997
just go fully skelly. it will suck and you will have no strength, but theres no other way to get abs. as a former fatty like you i know.
keep lifting while you cut to get some definition. and when you go to bulk, lean bulk, dont be stupid.

Get on a regiment. Could have it cleared in two weeks
>>36844232
I need to cut from 86kg to 78kg in two months, so I cun bulk again to 85kg. Shit is easy af.
First week -1.2kg
All lifts went up 1kg except OHP. I expect my bench to going from 106kg to 110 while losing 8kg. Cardio no more than 20 min.
>>36854997
fuck what these idiots say. Eat healthy, Lift a lot. start at a defect until you get desired results then maintain.
>>36848488
eat veggies and foods with low cals. veggies, some fruit lean meat lentil beans oats etc.
just do a 7 day water fast on the end of ur cut
eat only fruit juice(from real fruit not sugary shit u buy) the first 2-3 days, then steamed veggies another 2-3 days then proceed to eat like normal.
So low bodyfat increaes test right? Or have I been memed.
Currently about 16-20% and very low test.
>>36858174
eating healty fat increases test
>>36848898
If your bodyfat gets too low you start growing weird fur everywhere. It happens to anorexic girls

being severely overweight reduces test, so yes, if you get to a lower BF% you will have higher test levels. dont expect to see gains from it though. youll just look cut which is still good tho.
just keep in mind that cutting and eating less to get there will kill your test levels in the meantime. test is also influenced by eating healthy fats, etc. so you will be lower energy until the cut is over.
First couple of weeks went okay. I then hosted a night in with friends, cooked up a chilli for everyone (was thinking it'd be healthier than takeaway), generally pigged out. Set myself back about 0.5kg/4 days of progress. I just read my first weight drop this morning since I hosted on Saturday night. I'm down 2.4kg in 20 days, including the setback. 7-8 weeks left of my cut and I'm already around 13% BF, so not too much to fret about.
I've got fucking iron will outside of social events, but I can't force myself to become captain autism when everyone is snacking and generally eating shit.
>tfw social events become commonplace when you're on a cut
Anyone know what happened here?
>start cutting in february
>2000kcal, slightly more on active days, about 170g protein a day
>did fine for 2 months, lost 4kg, actually gained a little bit of strength on bench (or unknowingly used a lighter bar)
>2 weeks ago, try benching previous max weight, suddenly can't do it
>other lifts worse as well, OHP down by 7.5kg, bench down by 5kg, weighted pullups harder too (although bodyweight pullups still ez)
>today, OHP failed because my left arm/side just couldn't manage the weight
i mean, i haven't fucked with anything to do with cutting. same activity, same macros, same everything.
have i just overtrained or something? i'm doing texas method with slightly less volume on volume days and slightly more weight on recovery days.
i don't feel that i've visibly lost any muscle either, just strength.
>>36844232
down 10 lbs famalam, 10-15 more to go in 2 months, I think i'll make it
>>36847924
Oklahoma is just a poor Texas with more tornados and even less fun things to do.
No thanks.
>>36859164
oh, and the only noticeable change otherwise is that i have slightly less energy, i guess. i used to be hype when going to the gym a couple of weeks ago, now it's "i guess i'll lift stuff now"
maybe i'm a low test cuck now because of my cut.
hopefully the lifts will come back asap once i bulk again or something
>>36854542
Even though the strength gains are slow im losing a fuckton of weight to the point that ppl commend me for it regularly. Keep up with SS if you like it, or maybe do SL. Mix in some cardio, my weight loss sky rocketed when i did. Just be consistent and youll make it bro. For us fatasses we jusy gotta lift while we cut so we'll have a leg up when we finally get to bulk.
Already went from 76kg to 71-72kg in 2 weeks tho I don't much of a visual difference.Is 1800-2000 calories too low to cut??Am eating that much and I do IF and actually getting stronger.Am around 15% BF and want to get to 10% ASAP without becoming DYEL in the process.
>>36854997
cut until you're at a bodyfat you're happy with. if you try to bulk while already "bulked" you'll probably just sabotage yourself subconsciously because you don't want to get fatter (when that is an inevitability)
bulking tends to make you look fatter even if you are stronger
>>36854298
>buy 600g of chicken
>remember that it has 100 calories per 100g
it's 600 calories holy shit how did i do this math
>>36853922
you can but it will suck ass in every way
you'll feel like shit
you'll lose a fuckton of muscle if you have any
you'll probably destroy your hormonal balance or something
i actually felt like crying randomly like every day when i did 1600kcal a day with working out 6 days a week

Are you especially stupid today or are you always this stupid?
It's 5:30 PM and I only have 50 calories left... Looks like it's time to sleep starving again.
>>36859164
same situation here, curious if anyone has answers? i think it might be overtraining too, i've been going to the gym like 6 times a week for the past 3 weeks because it means i can eat more.
>>36860194
eat a head of cabbage, pound of broccoli, or half pound of carrots
>>36859164
the only explanation i can think of is because of your glycogen levels has been reduced from a cut, you still have the muscle mass but the water saturation in them went done thus decreasing your strength, science n shit i dunno
>>36860194
eat 10 sugar free jello cups, each one is 5 calories.
>>36847808
>stubborn fat
>>36854490
You know you can just create your own spreadsheet and use google to find cals or just look at the back of the package.

>>36849323
thanks guys. What do you mean by "affect your heart" though? Obviously I'm going to avoid super strenuous stuff right afterwards but will I be ok otherwise?
Im thinking of taking my dose as soon as I wake up, then walk around for a while. I'll wait for at least 4 hours before eating anything. I'm in exams now though. Will this shit fuck up my mental state or will I be fine writing exams?

>>36848488
coffee
if that doesnt work, just eat a fuck load of low cal veggies. ill eat whole bag of frozen broccoli in one go and it fills you up perfectly fine for like 150cal
>>36861658
I'll answer for them
Just like ECA stacks will stress your heart a bit, so will yohimbine. Therefore don't mix it with ECA, clenbuterol, DNP and so on.
I have tried it once before, i didn't experience any side effects
>>36848488
shit ton of veggies.
>>36861732
ok great, thanks. I'm probably only going to stack it with caffine, not planning on DNP or clen lol
Today's my birthday and I didn't celebrate by eating like the fatasfatass that I am. Currently lifting. I might make it.
>>36861796
i take only around 5mg of yohimbine a day (Recommended dosage is much higher) and that shit fucks me up. yesterday i woke up at around 3 AM dehydrated as fuck and horny as hell. though one thing is when i woke up i felt energized, i'll grant it that.
>>36861732
different anon here, but I was wondering how yohimbine interacts with alcohol? Can I have a couple drinks well after my dose or will it fuck my shit up fampai?
>>36861796
You might get a bit anxious or nervous when stacking with caffeine, even yohimbine itself can cause those side effects. Some get them, i didn't
>>36861859
Not him, but you should be fine. It's out of your system after 4 hours or so. Any alcohol after that should be safe.
>>36862111
are you sure about htat? I drank my 2.5mg pills at around 4PM and felt that shit at 3 am.
>>36847013
If you're 135 lbs and TDE is 2100 i have troubling thing you have much muscle to lose.
>>36862132
The yohimbine should be clear of your system after 3-4 hours.
>>36862222
must be some poor quality yohimbine HCl if i keep getting its effects after 4 hours.

Went up in all of my lifts by 5-10 lbs a week for a few weeks. I had a manageable body fat with a bit of chubbines before but then i realized i put on probably something like 5 lbs of fat.
Now I'm facing the prospect of cardio every day and all my lifts going down. Was just about to hit 1pl8 OHP too...
Any suggestions? I work out 5 times a week for (excluding breaks) something like 50 mintues, so according to TDEE mine is like 3200.
I guess i'm just going to bike every day for an hour and eat as veggies constantly. Idk if ther are any other tricks for keeping my lifts strong.
Is preworkout useful at all?
>>36850085
....Yes, but the person who's very close to my weight, who's 5-10 lbs heavier, is going to cut on 2,000 kcal. When I'm cutting at 1500. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, at 200 lbs you'll cut at 2000 with exercise. But at 165? It'll be very slow progress, but I suppose if you work out a lot you could maybe do a body recomp-style diet. I don't think you'd lose much weight, but you may look better.

I'm slightly confused guys. Everyone here seems to be cutting at like 1800 cals. But on calculators it says I should cut at 2700ish. I'm 198ish, 6'0 and work out 5-6 times a weak but it seems like a lot of calories still

2700 is fine if you dont mind taking a longer route with less muscleloss. 1800 is pretty stupid unless you're 5'5
