How's the cut?

>>36479442
I'm gonna start it one of these days. I mean, I'm only about 3months late.

>>36479442
horrible, just binged two days ago and ended up with a 3000 calorie surplus haven't been on the gym since then either because of the guilt

>>36479442
It's okay. Lost about 8 lbs in the last 50 days, although I aimed at more. Had a few shitty days, but I'm back on track. There's not much further to go though, I guess I lose another two lbs and then I'm done. No idea whether I can maintain though.

>>36479515
What the fuck. How?
Literally how?
How can you be like. " Nah, fuck my cut. I'm going to binge."
How can you even feel the need to, let alone act on it?
Whenever I see food in the supermarket that I know is bad for me I consider buying it but always end up leaving it for the sake of jewing and health. And I feel good about that.
Fuck, I even have ice cream in my freezer that I could easily eat and maintain my deficit but won't because I'm just not hungry and don't feel like eating it.
Cutting is easy as shit. You're addicted to food, fatzo.

not that anon but when you leave the house and go to a social gathering (something you may not experience if we're honest fampai) you decide hey nah fuck it I'm just going to enjoy my time.

good luck with the bodybuilding though that sounds cool man.

>>36479776
>something you may not experience
I do that literally all the time, familio.
>fuck it I'll just enjoy my time.
I do that without shoving my face full of empty calories.

>>36479772
Sounds like you fell for the bulking meme. Im making all kinds of gains while having a 6pack year around. Why would anyone in their right mind compromise their health and heart by getting deliberately fat?

>>36479800

> I do that literally all the time, familio.

coming out of your room to where the rest of your family is eating dinner isn't what I'm talking about fampai.

>>36479800
3000 empty calories*

>>36479772
Not that anon but I make gains aplenty without "bulking". At a 300 surplus, I've gained minimum amounts of fat and lots of muscle.

>>36479776
I second this >>36479800
You go out to be social, not to be a porker. Get a black coffee at whatever gathering you're on, or a lean drink, and enjoy talking to people instead of stuffing your face at the buffet table.

My cut ends at easter. Then I can finally start making gains. Skinnyfat no longer.

>>36479805
I'm 21 and I live by myself, save for my cat. I visit my friends often and they chill at my place as well. I'm close with my little bro (who also lives by himself) so I visit him a lot as well. Four times a week I go to the gym where I have multiple friends and I always know at least a few people who I can have banter with at any time there. Seriously, not being autistic must be an unimaginable realm for you.

>>36479812

> Get a black coffee

ahahaha what the fuck are you even talking about

again I'm not talking your mummy called you outta your room

I'm talking your girlfriend and m8s going out for a run at the town

going to dinner

shit I forgot 99% of you nigas are 16 hey,

Feeling awfull, cutting after I failed my first bulk, its like im going back to level one. And my form is getting worse.

-4kg abs starting to show feels gudman.
went swimming this morning to switch up the morning cardio, bitches be mirin.

>>36479803
not bulking as in "getting deliberately fat", but as in eating above maintenance. in order to make gains while having a sixpack year round, you're either juicing or not lifting longer than 2 years.

Those were just a few examples autismo. I also have plenty of friends at my university and co-workers I hang out with. You can stop now,

>>36479838
300 surplus is hardly "bulking". You can walk that off in 15 minutes. Literally.

>>36479844
You literally can't.

>>36479860
You can run, nerd.

>>36479839

that was your first example, like the thing your brain immediately went to as your key exmaple of socialisation.

that's very indicative bro, and I am not even joking.

makes me think you don't really have many friends t b h fampai.

anyone else would be like:

oh yeah my mates from highschool we still keep a crew together all this years later, and then I got my mates from work few champs there, my girlfriend and her friends I guess they're ok too they can be cool, then I got my mates from uni, etc.

You went with: yeah I talk to people at my gym .. top bants ..

sorry I even brought this up, I legit feel bad for you now man.

gl with ur bodybuilding.

Was going to start on 1st of April, but i've spent the last 2 days puking my guts out and now i don't have any appetite, so i think i'll start my cut today.

It's going pretty good I guess. This is my first time actually counting macros, is 2640kcal with 20%carbs 50% protien and 30% fat and my mantance being 3,094. Also any other tips would be appreciated

>>36479867
Hes right you know

It's going great.

>>36479867
I really only used the gym as an example because this is /fit/.

And I honestly love those people. But ok. I still hangout with people from elementary school.
No GF for 2 years tho.

Get a healthy option. No problem there. Drink water on the side.

How is it a problem to eat healthy when traveling? Fruit ang veg is cheap and low cal anywhere, especially in the tropics. And you can still have your coffee black.

>>36479442
Bout 3 weeks in, going OK, but hungry as hell at night for some reason. Drinking tea to keep my mind off it.

not where i want to be but decent enough for it being my first time and only really half assing it.

Pretty good I must say. I do have to ask though, is a 1500 caloric deficit too much? I excerise everyday and don't count those calories burned either. For the first 10 days or so I felt fine, now I feel tired and hungry all the fucking time. I'm thinking maybe I should add 500 more calories to my diet, but I've been losing weight and getting toned at add really fast rate. What would you guys suggest?

>>36481208
1500 calorie deficit

probably 2000 calorie deficit when exercise is added

top kek enjoy your metabolic damage and lost muscle

I think I'm starting to figure it out. I bulked last year to like 190 and started cutting a couple months ago. Down 5 pounds but bodyfat is down much more just by looking in the mirror. Abs are starting to come in (which I've never had before). I tried mixing in a half hour/hour on the treadmill then trying to lift but it's fucking impossible. I've started going into the gym twice a day. The first for strictly lifting and the second for strictly cardio. The cardio at the end of the day is nice for me -- helps sleep better

>>36481207
bruh that gives me so much hope and courage, thanks for sharking

>>36481312
So I'm taking that as I need to eat more. What would you say is a more appropriate intake?

>>36481133
Damn dude, that's some great progress!
But,how?

>>36481852

1800 calories (500 deficit) Monday-Friday + 10 minutes of HIIT every day (Mon-Fri again)

I don't count calories Saturday or Sunday but I make sure 3 out of my 4 meals are "clean"

Eggs
Protein shakes
Chicken
etc

>>36481482

500 calorie deficit + cardio

>>36479442
Recently started nofap and it's massively curved my hunger and I'm having the best cut of my life. No superpowers, but I find it so much easier to only eat 2 meals and pre/postworkouts.

Preparing for my first amateur boxing match the 22nd of april. So been doing fuckloads of cardio and sparring

Cutting pretty hard right now. I'm hoping to be around 170 by summer. Currently 220. I have to do it fast and get it over or I never end up losing anything. Lecithin and black coffee helps.

>>36481202
I think up to 20-30 lbs is possible if you're over 20% bf. A lot of it will be water.

>>36479442
really well. i'm writing this with my mouth full of banana bread.

Starting at the end of this month. I'm already pretty lean so I should be looking shredded for my holidays. Not looking forward to losing some of that there strength.

I've been cutting since October, and I told myself I won't get back on maintenance until I'm at least 10-12%.

Never had abs, never been as lean as I am now (16% or so), no idea how much longer it takes. Maint is 2700-ish, I'm eating 1800-2200 and walking 30min 3x days, lifting 5x

I feels like the Sisyphus of cutting over here

5/3/1

>>36484016
Do some actual cardio, and do it every day

Abs are starting to show, i'd say i need a solid 4-5 weeks.

Got sick 2 times these past 2 months because of shittier nutrition, but hanging in there

>>36483436
no fap has nothing to do with that.

Just started yesterday. Idgaf I'm not going anywhere this summer and it gets too hot here to go outside during the day

Seriously, you guize can have a few empty calories once in a while, it's not going to kill you or your gains. Even in a bar you can have your macros in check, it's not hard at all.

Not related but
>reminder that protein powder is also a source of empty calories

Was really good but I fucked up the past 2 days.

Down 35lbs total, 190 -> 155. Eating 1500cal/day no exercise for the past 2 weeks. I originally started at 250lbs.

Ordering DNP even though I don't really need it, will take a low dose at 250mg/day until I'm sub 10% BF. Once I get the DNP I'm gonna hit the gym once every 2 days, so every other day.

I'm like 90% done with my fat loss, I'm even starting to see the striations of my muscles even though I'm still fat as fuck. I've also discovered that what I eat and how much I eat determines what my mood is. Interesting. Right now I feel like shit because I've already ate 1/2 of the calories I'm allowed to have for the day and the only "good" food I can eat that I have at my house is eggs and protein powder.

Once I'm finally cut and actually looking good I'll feel so much better

Get the vast, vast majority of your calories from carbs like fruits and vegies, and youll cut automatically down to an ideal weight

Its not that hard, retard

4.6 lbs at 230lb in one week. Using Yohimbine ~20mg a day in the morning ~1500cals a day.

>>36484440
I think it has to personally, because when I relapse my willpower to resist snacking goes away. And eat more at meals.

I should mention I'm only on nofap temorarily, it's more of noporn. I used to fap no less than once a day to hardcore porn. I'm trying to abstain from porn for the rest of my forsee able future

>>36479442
Hey anons my first cut was bout 20% bf maybe a bit less from being fat ass a few years ago, 2 weeks in 1800 cal a day 300 cal deficiency lost 10 pounds already. I'm curious how much of it is water weight.

>Get the vast, vast majority of your calories from carbs like fruits and vegies, and youll cut automatically down to an ideal weight

>>36485740
The main thing I am curious about is how much of the initial weight is water weight because if all the weight I lost was fat then I would be down to my target goal for now I just want to cut to 15% so I can make sure I am not fucking up the proportions of my muscles I can cut Dow lower later losing weight is easy for me and I can eat whatever I want as long as it is not in copious amounts. Being a teenager is awesome umm abuse this power while I can XD

Stop eating junkfood or eat it in extremely small amounts. I ate one jellybean today as my "sweet treat". One fucking jellybean. I'm not going to lose sleep over 4 calories. Besides that I've turned fruits into my sweets. Instead of icecream I eat an apple ya know?

>>36479442
I have already dropped from ~176lbs to 165lbs in a month's time. I believe I have had a little strength loss as I couldn't 5rep 2pl8 bench last week, but it might have just been a bad day.

Really awesome. Cut down 30 lbs in 5 months and I'm finally not hating myself

I'm down 15lbs since Feb 22nd.
Down to 127lbs from 142lbs.
Been eating extremely healthy.
Also been taking zinc so acne has gone away significantly
Life is going great
I'm gonna make it.

>>36494094
Hey, congrats! Keep it up!

>>36479442
Lost a few lbs but never noticed it until today I suddenly realized my clothes felt much looser than normal.

>>36494200
Such a good feel right? My Tshirts aren't clinging to my belly and my legs don't feel like sausages being stuffed into casings in my pants.

Better than how I planned it. Lost like 5-8lbs in the past month. Fucked up this week though, I fucking love nutter butters. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Off to the gym in about an hour, Chest day.

>>36494094
Are u grill or why the fuck are u cutting

I have 20lbs more to lose

>>36490742
It's worse than that anon, a pound of food doesn't correlate to a pound-worth of calories.

He would have to eat 6.5lbs of chicken breasts to gain that much.

>>36479442
Been messing with my calories for a while to up weight loss, I think I'm finally seeing a result. Last week I measured 199, last weigh-in I measured 197.8, yesterday I weighed 196.

Currently at 198lbs down from 268lbs. I'm 6'2 lanklet.

Still no abs. Feels bad man.

MEMES

just eat an appropriate amount of food for your size and energy expenditure

the best part is that if you LISTEN TO YOUR BODY it will tell you exactly how much you should be eating

yes, they're all memes. and the progress pics are all meme pics. and the doctors who back up these methods are meme doctors. and the people who lose weight and gain weight are meme people. And the meme jet fuel can't melt steel memes.

This thread actually took off lol

Yesterday I was making great progress, went out got lots of attention feeling good about myself. Cheeky bones coming out, face looking healthy as fuck. felt like a legit Chad.

Then I binged on junk, alcohol and tobacco

Now I can't even look myself in the mirror

>>36479442
lost 7lbs in the past 6 weeks only had one sloppy week so not bad

>>36480906
why do you cut at 55kg? are you 4ft?

>decide to eat clean today to make up for being over cals yesterday
>eat two veggies and a protein/fat for lunch
>still hungry
>eat yogurt and banana
>still hungry, about two hours later eat a bowl of raisin bran
>now I need to skip dinner

Fuck. At least it's getting warm so I can do more cardio without needing to force myself.

On the bright side I haven't purchased any junk food in months at the grocery store. Just a year ago I was buying (and eating) an entire pack of cookies every week.

It's going, but slowly because keep binge eating on the weekend. Binged this weekend.

>mfw step on scale and am a few lbs bigger
>mfw feel disgusted

So I've been eating at a lower calorie deficit. Trying to do cardio bit weather here is crap.


Trying not to completely fall off the wagon and give up.

>mfw lost 25 lbs
>mfw 10 more lbs to go

Sigh. It's those last lbs that are always the hardest. Trying to finish up strong

Just save it or enjoy it in moderation. My grandma always makes me my favorite type of cake whenever I come in town (Pineapple Upside Down). I always plan for one slice and then take the rest home. I share with my roomies or family and dump out what I can't eat.

It's difficult, but sometimes you have to eat it just so you won't be rude.

>>36495082
You can always go on a fast the next day..

Of course it helps if you have masochistic tendencies

>>36479442
Been at it for a week now. Gone from 89kg to 83-84kg today. Considering I have actually eaten this week that would be water-weight, right?

Anyway, just doing this to exercise my willpower muscle, it needs heavy gains and I've been successful. Bonus is my belly feels tighter, noticeable difference when I try to grab my lard.

Yeah, I'm definitely planning on eating significantly less on the days leading up and after, as well as trying to keep my portion sizes decent. It's a little rough trying to keep everything at 1200kcal. I'm so jelly of all the men on this board

>>36479442
Started about 1 month ago.. 2.5kg (5.5lbs) pounds of bodyfat gone, and aparently i still managed to put on 100g of muscle mass

I weigh 77kg because I went a bit overboard with my bulk, gained good muscle though

There is this guy at my gym who is pretty cut and he weighs 65kg so I'm a bit disheartened by how much I should loose

Yes. Cutting at 1000 cal deficit. Always thinking about food. Browsing /ck/ and leddit's food and foodporn. Watching competitive eaters like Matt Stonie demolish everything. Always thinking about food.

I try to distract myself but it's tough.

Repeat for months. Lose about a lb every other week.

could a hungry skellington eat a fuck load and lift for like 2-3 months then drop down to hungry skellington diet for like a month and look decent? Or is that too short a time to really build any defined shape to cut down to?

>5'8"
Started a few days ago. 190 down to 187 going from 3200 to like 1900 cal per day. Some is likely water weight, but I'm likely gonna cut down to six pack level. My strategy is to eat 3-500 cal for breakfast, 1000 mid-day, and 5-600 right before bed. Also got back to ON gold standard because it's way easier to hit protein levels that way.

Also
>tfw recovering from sciatica, double shoulder tendonitis, and a pinched nerve in my back that I hope isn't a real slipped disc

>>36495999
nice trips

>>36496437
Because while on accutane you must avoid sun, among other things.

>>36496594
If you want a summer bod then you're going to have to wait til next summer unfortunately

>>36495960
Iktf...after taking it a few years back, there really werent summers for me anymore..not in the earlier, carefree sense, I use moisturizer with spf 30 all year long avoiding the sun hoping the darker spots and scars disappear one day

>>36495082
well the problem is that when I do take a bite I start to crave it and have to eat it all

My breakfast meal -- oatz with cottage cheese and fruit -- comes in at about 350 or 400 calories. Would it be bad to eat this for two meals a day if I cut at 1200?

1.7 pounds to get under 190. Got about another 8 pounds after that to go to be around 12%.

Fucking love handles won't go away

>>36497079
then you're too weak, give up and die.

Standard Kek

forgoing cut this year.

I want to hit 'advanced' and be all orange on symmetricalstrength so I need to get about 20lbs on all my lifts, then I can cut.

If I can keep my strength and cut down to 8% bf I'll be looking damn good.
>just in time for xmas

Shit, is it too late to start a good cut for summer?

Bretty good.

Lost ~20 since January, maybe down about 3% bf from my bulk. Still got a little bit left but considering my progress I can take my time until the summer.

I do miss bulking though.

Is there any truth to a new workout routine adding more water weight on you? I recently started working out again after about a year of depression and although I've been moving around more than ever and eating at a deficit I've only lost a pound in the past four weeks (I did lose an inch around my waist though). I'm charting this up to me just not counting my calories properly but I heard that water weight might have something to do with it as well?

Its going great. Ive been doing a pound a week and im down to 181 from 186 about to weigh in again for the week tomorrow.

I seriously have never felt better. Ive been crushing my runs lately and even though ive just started to see a slight stall in my lifts, i think i can chalk that up to lack of sleep this past week.

Im gonna hit 175 by the time summer rolls in and should be somewhere around 11% bf which will be perfect because ill maitain that for about a month and then start making lean gains from there

>>36481198
why didn't you just have 75g of oats with honey and granola on it??

Much nicer and less volume for more calories... my god some of you guys are retarded...

Bulking. Is. Easy.

Or better yet get some high sugar cereal if you really are a little bitch.

Slow. Time to switch to a 50% diet

>>36479442
cut?
It's bulking time, 3k5 cal a day.

I've lost at least 70 pounds since last year. Was around 250-270 and now down to 175 at 6'4... feel pretty good

Serial Expiraments Lain

I'm looking for bulk/cut advice.

I started the gym in august and did SS. I had good progression first 3 months and ran into a wall after that. In hindsight my form was overall pretty bad, and I wasn't taking training seriously enough.
Anyway, after 2 more months of no progress, I switched over to some 5-day strength/bodybuild routine. I did that for a monrh with some gains.
I got a bit bigger, but not much stronger.
I feel that strength thraining is where I get my enjoyment out of, and want to switch back to it by started the advanced SS routine.

Problem is: I'm pretty skinnyfat. I ate for an SS bulk, without actually getting stronger. So now I'm sitting at 85kg, about 20%BF, with a 2pl8 squat, 2.5 pl8 deadlift, 80kg bench and 42.5 kg press.
I know I don't have enough muscle to do a real cut, but I also don't want to get really fat when starting advanced novice SS.
So what should I do? Get back to bulkng with good form and progress this time? Or do you guys recommend I cut first, but stay at my shitty lifts in the meantime?

TLDR: I fucked up SS and got fat with little gains. Continue bulk, or cut first?

>>36479807
Congratulations you're bulking
