No but seriously, any advice is appreciated, I'm tired of the skinnyfat life. I was doing 1600kcal on keto from Jan to March and lost a bunch of weight. Now aiming at 2000kcal seems even a little overboard (as in I feel I have to eat more than I used to before doing keto, which makes me worried about gaining more weight even if it's less than my TDEE). What do?
BUMP THAT SHIT

>very high body fat percentage (25-27%)
I'm basically what a skinnyfat guy would look like if he gained another 4kg/10lbs of pure fat, but it looks like I somehow have a small base of muscle mass under all the fat, but not much. I'm also a complete noob, haven't trained seriously for more than a couple of weeks in my entire life.
I know I need to eat under my tdee, eat enough protein and all that, but what am I looking at when it comes to resistance training? What kind of volume should I be doing? I'm seeing conflicting information all over the internet, but people generally say you need to do high intensity (weight), low reps and low sets when cutting to preserve or even increase strength (if you're a noob).
My problem is, what about adding some muscle mass while also cutting fat on say a 500kcal deficit? Keep in mind my body fat percentage is really high. I don't think I just want to "maintain" what little muscle I have, I want to gain some and I know it's possible because of noob gains so my question is:
Will doing high weight, low low rep training build more muscle than hypertrophy or at least closer to hypertrophy traning (for example 6-7 reps)?
I want to gain as much muscle through noob gains during my cut as possible. I don't care about strength as much for now, that's something I want to work on when I finish my cut. So what do I do, low reps high weight (and probably lower volume altogether) or a bit lower weight, higher reps (up to 8)?

Listen to me and repeat.
NOT GETTING STRONGER ON A CUT IS A MEME.
You are a newbie, you will get muscle just by existing in the gym. No need to worry about it until you reach at least 2 years. Get down to 12% and lean out first, you might look skinny to yourself but if you train consistently there will 100% be a change.

Anyone got any experience seeing a psychiatrist? I had a skitzo moment on a bad acid trip last year and I still get paranoia and dark thoughts every now and then.
I've been staying off psychadelics ever since(weed too)
always been very anxious as far back as I remember
So Im debating if I should see one or just skip it and try to fix it myself

Any hiphop dancers at UW Parkside? I'm new transfer here and I want to find a group of people who like to dance since there isn't a hiphop dance club here.
Also, idk if this was the /place/ to post this, /mu/ don't dance for shit >:(
>UW Parkside
Is this a university? Do you really think on the entirety of /fit/ you'll find
A) Someone who goes to your college
and B) Who is also a hiphop dancer
C'mon man use your brain. Unironically see if your school has a subreddit and ask there. Or on the student facebook page. Use your brain brah

Currently 5'8 64kg plateauing on SL 5x5
Current Lifts
Bench:66kg
Squat:91kg
Deadlift:102kg
This is my first time hitting a plateau. Confused as to whether I should switch up the program as I've heard 5x5 is good only up to a certain point, and whether I should perhaps bulk to 150 to be blessed with more gains. what u think /fit/
Do 3x5 or 3x3 like you are supposed to when you stall completely. then eventually 1x3 and then switch program
>>42769945
Bulk at least to 175
Any last words before i unite this two in holy matrimony?

Just wear baggy shorts and a t-shirt like the rest of the world. If you need a sports bra recommended, I'd look in a Facebook fitness group, where the gender demographic tends to be 99/1 in the opposite direction to /fit/

Train outdoors. Excellent resistance and mobility work to be done.
Why the fuck i can't make any progress in overhead pressing?
Started lifting one year ago, still stuck at 10kg + the bar.
In comparison, I started bench press at 0 kg and I'm now lifting 15 + the bar
Eat more. Lift more.
