I'm stalled, obviously over-trained. currently cutting.
I've heard that if you are at a caloric deficit for a while your metabolism slows. Part of recovery (besides muscle recovery) is to eat at maintenance (your new lower maintenance) for three weeks to raise your metabolism back up so you can begin cutting effectively again.
True or not?

Yes its true.
Lyle McDonald has..an entire book on it. He also has a shitload of articles. See his site on "refeeds".

What does /fit/ do in their free time?
I've known for a long time that one of the keys to actually being fit is not sitting around the house all day eating out of boredom. Do you think The Rock (for instance) sits around the house all day eating but stays ripped because he uses steroids and has magic genetics, no, he's most likely out doing some productive shit every single day
I have the desire to go out and "do stuff" but I don't even know what to do. I don't have any friends anymore so I just end up shutting myself in my house and hiding from the world.

I hike regularly on the weekends now. I don't have any friends either and it's a pretty relaxing and active hobby to do solo desu. Plus being solo you end up chatting with others when you're on a summit or something so it's not totally lonely.

How much can I cut below TDEE without losing muscle mass, if I lift 3 times a week?

Just to clarify, I'd like to go a little above that number just so I can make a bit of lean gains while prioritizing fat loss.

Building muscle while losing fat is a meme

> Rant about my gym incoming
Man, I'd love to work out in the morning. But my gym is a popular cardiobunnies club with 2/3 treadmills, step machines rowing machines and bikes.
1/3 left for machines and the free weights are basically cramed in one small room.
Those fuckers open at 8 am, close at 10:30pm on weekdays.
On weekends , they open at 9 and close at 4.
They recently introduced the lunk alarm , and the music is a mix of loud "shape of you" and "despacito"
It's not even a Planet Fitness with a ton of equipment, because I am an Europefag.
Welcome to Basic-Fit, the shitty small one.

200g oats and 1L whole milk.
If I work out with no food in my system, how am I suppose to make strength gains?

50 sit-ups
25 leg raise
25 toe-touch (?) (basically you put your ass against a wall, legs in the air and try to reach for you feet)
All that witouth a break at the end of your workout. That's what we used to do in thai boxing and everyone had killer abs.

Is anyone on /fit/ a personal trainer? I'm currently employed at a gym and looking to become one. I've been told the NASM is the most widely recognized certification. Any tips?

It's a good cert to have. It isn't a weekend thing where you pay and viola you're a trainer. It's based on exercise science and has an immense amount of information that can personally help you as well with your own exercise regiment.
It's not cheap but worth the price. Most of your clientele won't be 20 year old something male with no orthopedic issues. So NASM gives you a decent format to follow in order to get your client from a sack of useless shit to someone who can actually move well and see results

Running on a treadmill feels like a much harder workout, but I'm wondering if that's just because it puts more strain on my joints rather than making me work harder.

I like ellipticals just because I can have resistance in addition to incline.
I also feel like treadmill is the harder workout. Somebody smarter than us lay down some facts.
>>
>>42538009
Then change the speed/resistance until it's harder. Cardio is for CARDIOvascular training, so just measure your heart rate and keep it in the right range

I probably just slept on it bad and pinched a nerve. That and I favor my right side when I do stuff and work. That combined with my hypochondriac autism made me panic. Still, I'm going to take it easy on overhead lifts for a few weeks. Those bothered my shoulder the most before my week break and it's better to be safe than sorry.
