Th-thanks brah, y-you too.

So I need to be at a calorie deficit to lose weight, but being at a calorie deficit will also prevent me from gaining muscle.
I'm obese. Should I be on a deficit for fat loss or should I be taking in more calories for muscle gain?

I-I'm sorry. I just literally don't get it.

>>35566619
Deficit. You'll still gain muscle breh

>>35566735
But how can that be? I thought you had to eat more calories than you expend to gain muscle.

>>35566735
dont listen to this guy

>>35566754
lmao if youre a fatty fat fat you have extra energy in your fat stores. Lifting weights burns calories, eating at a deficit burns calories. 1+1 =2. lifting weights also builds muscel, now are you going to gain as much as a hungry skele eating over his TDEE, prolly not since your body is burning fat for energy but you will likeley still get some. Drop the fat first, friend.

Is it a waste of time to workout while fasting?
I lost 20 pounds last year by eating nothing but pic related for 20 days. I've kept the weight off the since then, despite a less than great diet.

I'm severely skinnyfat. I've never had any bf% measured, but I'm going to guesstimate it's relatively high, at least 25% maybe more. The issue is that I'm very low weight, like I cannot justifiably lose anymore weight. How do I remedy this situation? I'm afraid to bulk in case I just get even flabbier.

>>35566893
>high bf%
>cannot justifiably lose anymore weight
Which is it? You can always lose fat.

>>35566754
Your body will compensate the muscle tearing done by lifting no matter what. It will go slower in deficit but it will happen.

>>35566893
Whats your height and weight?

I've got a wrist injury, wearing a brace now but may have to do surgery if it doesn't improve any further. Kinda bummed out because I can't really lift besides training legs. What can I do to stay fit in the meantime?

>>35566917
I've somehow reached an intense level of skinnyfat where I am low weight but high fat. I'm at BMI 16, which is medically underweight, but I am absolutely positive I have high bf% because I look 20+ lbs heavier than I am (according to others, not myself) and have a visible gut, lovehandles, rolls, and a lot of cellulite. I have no idea wtf happened to be honest, I thought losing weight = losing fat but it's like I somehow lost weight without losing fat.

>>35566966
Strap the weights to your forearms.

>>35566987
What the fuck happened? Were you significantly overweight before? You might have loose skin.

>>35566987
sounds like your diet is lacking in protein and too high in carbs.

>>35566987
I need a pic of this. I don't believe you.

what will happen if i work out but i dont eat enough food? im on dexamphetamine so its way to hard to try and eat 2000+ cals every day. i dont work out at all now and im very very weak, i just want to be normal again, being able to run so i wont miss the train and lift boxes when moving. will it help at all working out even when i eat too little?

>>35567000
Nope, I used to be slightly chubby for my height I think, or at least like higher end of average, so I decided I'd eat less to try to lose weight. I lost 30 lbs to skelly weight but it's fucking abysmal, I did not lose a single inch on my stomach. I look almost exactly the same, a couple of my lifter friends can't believe it. I wear the same size in everything, no part of me looks bony or skelly at all. I'm just a blob of fat pretty much.

>>35567016
B-but I thought calories in calories out? I definitely did eat way more carbs than protein but I didn't think it mattered.

>>35567026
I'm too embarrassed tbqh. I look gross.

What's a good accessory exercise for lower back / core strength? Repeated back injury is preventing me from squatting heavy.

My bench has stalled. What are some good chest exercises to supplement? I've determined my weak point is triceps so I'm focusing on them but I need some good supplementary chest exercises. I was thinking cable flies.

Would doing SS and jogging 30 minutes on off days be considered lightly active or moderately active? Asking so i can calculate my calories.

Any cheap ass digital scale like the first reply in this thread mentioned will already work BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DON'T BREAK YOUR SCALE THEY'RE VERY SENSITIVE LIKE ANYTHING OVER 3 POUNDS

Just put lightly. This is only an estimate. Follow your weight over 2 weeks to see measure your TDEE correctly.

come on bruh, for the science

>>35567100
protein bruh, helps burn fat and of course build muscle. read harsh's wiki

unrelated, how much of harsh's wiki is actually reliable? it still has the 1g protein/lb meme and wants me to eat 1550 kcal for maintenance.

I have been using this $9.27 Rosewill scale since 2012 for weighing all my food and it just works,

Protein is fucking important bruh. Get those meats and beans in your belly. There isnt really a need for protein powder, just eat meat and beans for one meal a day and you will have enough protein to retain and build muscle while you lose fat.

I have protein powder nearly every day even when I don't exercise just to meet my macros. Then this DYEL skinny dude decided he was an expert on protein after watching a documentary and went on at me about how protein shakes should only be consumed after a workout to fix torn muscles. I explained that protein helps you break down fat as well as build muscle, that I was calorie counting and that I knew what I was doing. He insisted I go watch this documentary.

I like having a shake on my days off. Is there any point to consuming them on off-days or is the DYEL dude right about only being necessary after workouts?

Ways to increase testosterone other than injecting?

protip though, buy one that takes AAA or AA batteries

the coin cell ones need to be replaced like 5x as frequently

>>35568848
sleep well, zinc and magnesium before bed
vitamin D and 9mg boron in the morning

>>35568805
It's a supplement to meet your protein needs. If you need it to fit your macros, then take it. Don't overthink it, or let others overthink it for you.

Type 1 Diabetic, Does it matter when I take insulin or is there a sweet spot, like after lifting?

Also can someone recommend a beginner hypertrophy routine?
