Serious question, I'm 1cm under 6 foot in bare feet, which means I'm over 6'1 in some of my shoes, should I tell girls that I'm 6'1 on Tinder etc?
Shit, all this time I thought I was 6'1. Turns out I'm 6'3 in my work boots.

TRIGGERED.
You're going off of a rather outdated method to check your bodyfat percentage you idiot. Go find someone with skin calipers to more accurately gauge your percentage.

if it's certified by the US Navy, the Naval warfare military branch of the United States, who spends the most money on military research and operations,
how can you consider it outdated?
Go back to the preacher curl machine you meathead dumbass.

This gets me going really bad. There's this one retard in the gym thats built like an elementary school boy, yet he walks around and acts like he saved the world. I cant not look at him and want to smash his head against the mirror and kill him with a dumbell, but i got more self control than that, so i just sit quietly and boil inside, because i dont want to get kicked out of the gym. I got pissed just typing this out.

How is cutting without tracking calories/macros actually done?
Do you just avoid specific high calorie foods or something? Like not eating breads, butter, chocolate etc, and eating lean means instead of fatty meats, or egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Just asking because I don't see how you could cut any other way.
>>40818187
When I cut I eat a protein bar at 1pm then I eat as much as I can in one sitting around 7. Works pretty well for me, and it's great if you have a social life.
>>40818187
Tried this and developed an eating disorder. Just track macros/calories.
>>40818187
You eat less and make sure you hit your protein quota with shakes.

This part of the program gets quite confusing in the books, so I will try to summarize it here for anons who are trying to milk their last gains on SS and need a quicker reference.
In a perfect world you would have progressed for about 18 weeks on SS without stopping on linear progression in a way similar to this:-
SS Phase 1 = Weeks 1-2
SS Phase 2 = Weeks 3-8
SS Phase 3 = Weeks 9-18
Note on Phase 3:
Bodyweight chin-ups are done to 3xF. If chin-up reps are consistently above 10 on all 3 sets, add weight to them for every other workout, so that failure happens at 5 to 7 reps. This will increase the reps on the bodyweight-only days and increase arm and shoulder strength for the presses.
--------------------------
cont'd
As you get closer to Intermediate during the final part of SS Phase 3 (i.e. you can no longer add weight at each workout), you can still try and delay your LP for a bit more by using these methods.
Case A. When you reach a plateau (you come from linear increments but you miss one or few reps during your new workout) you try resetting the weight 10% lower.
So if you miss reps on the Press at 112 lbs on Wed, you would apply a 10% reset like this:
Mon -> 100 lbs 3x5
Fri -> 105 lbs 3x5
Wed -> 110 lbs 3x5
Mon -> 112 lbs 3x5
In 2 weeks and a half you're back at your PR weight now without missing any reps.
Case B. When you miss reps for the first time but then at the next workout you become stubborn and try to keep pushing you're gonna get even more stuck. And this takes even more time.
In this case you need a much harder reset to fix your situation.
Mon -> 112 lbs (missed reps)
Fri -> 114 or 115 lbs (even more missed reps)
==Harder reset @ ~20% less==
Wed -> 95 lbs 1x5
Mon -> 100 lbs 1x5
Fri -> 105 lbs 3x5 ==reached 10% less here==
Wed -> 110 lbs 3x5
Mon -> 112 lbs 3x5
Fri -> 115 lbs 3x5
And back again at your previous "PR" in more or less 4 weeks. This shows that stubbornness or ego lifting takes much longer to recover from.
--------------------------
cont'd
Once you use Case A or B for resets twice per exercise, it is time to move on to the further actions to be taken below:-
#1 - Firstly, use Wed as a squat 'recovery day'.
Squat a weight that is 20-40% less than Monday's.
Keep adding weight on Mon and Fri sessions.
#1.5 - When that becomes tough, use back-off sets for Squat.
I.e. increase weight as usual for your first squat set. Then apply 5-10% reduction for sets 2 and 3. This applies only to Mon and Fri workouts.
On Wed workout, you should keep going with method #1: 20-40% less than the first heavy set of Monday and do that 3x5 with no back-offs.
#2 - For Bench, The Press, use instead the 3x3 method. You increase weight (probably by 2 lbs/1kg) and lift 3 sets by 3 reps only. For Power Clean you do the same but 4 sets of 2 reps only.
#3 - Another method is to stretch your working week to "two days off one day on".
E.g. Mon Wed Fri workout becomes Mon Thu Sun Wed Sat Tue (over 2 weeks). In this scenario, every other squat session is a 'recovery day' like at #1.
This means that you only have 1 heavy increasing squat every 6 days.
You can try using the methods #1.5, #2, #3 above all at once or one by one according to what stalls first and how your body feels through recovery.
If you stall while running these methods, you can apply the "Reset cases A or B" (according to how many times you've been missing reps) explained above once or twice.
After that is done too, you should accept that your novice efforts have been exhausted and you are finally ready to start The Texas Method.
I already knew this stuff but you did a good deed by presenting this
Why can't I eat a large pizza every day? This is a large pizza from Pizza Hut. It hits mostly everything. Am I missing something?
>>40817714
that wouldn't even be enough. the cheese and grease would get old really fast
>>40817741
A large pizza is 2500 calories, nigga. Whatchu mean it wouldn't be enough?

104g protein isnt nearly enough and you would quickly die from the sodium and trans fats

>at 24% BF wanting to drop to 15%
>>40816095
10 small meals is autism.
Not eating carbs after lunch sounds like some shit a fat woman invented.
Starving yourself is retarded.
Eat one big meal and only that is a sure way to fail.
Drinking water when hungry can actually work.
