Why doesn't /fit/ recommend recomping for beginners? Strength gains are easy to make without getting fat and if you accidently overeat/undereat one day you can easily reverse it the next day.

Bulking/cutting should be reserved for people who lift more than a year
>>
ok.
>>
>>41195955
Any links to routines I should follow if I want to do this?
>>
>>41195955
Pic isn't a great example; that's not a recomp, that's roids. Look at his delts
>>
Well fess it up op. Give some guides or links then
>>
>>41195955
What's recomping?

>fess up
d-do I know you?

Recomping is a pretty good way to spin your wheels.

All beginners should run a slow cut until they are between 12 and 15% bodyfat while lifting heavy.

They will make strength gains which will come in handy providing adequate stimulation for the bulking period
>>
>>41195955
Because that's not fucking recomping you nerd, that's building muscle from a skinny base. Recomping is trying to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, which is mostly a waste of time because beginners can't commit hard enough to actually do that, and they won't see great results.

Give a fatty a routine that will allow him to lose weight, and allow him to see results, and he'll be a fitness nut for the rest of his changed life.

WHAT IS RECOMPING SOMEONE EXPLAIN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>41196647
ffs, eat at fucking maintenance, gain no weight, lose no weight. Turn your fat lard ass into muscle.
>>
>>41196647
not cutting, or bulking, simply eating maintenance for a long period of time.

just floating in a space of general "hey. maybe i'll make some gains today. maybe not. but atleast i'm not getting fatter"
>>
>>41196665
Is that all? That sounds fucking stupid FUCK YOU OP REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>41196710
if you already have a decent amount of muscle and just some fat over it, it isnt stupid. But for a beginner it is retarded.
>>
>>41196738

>>
>>41197384
its been answered like 5 times in this thread, and common fucking sense or a google search should yield you pretty good results as well
>>
>>41195955
I'm skinnyfat, do I recomp by just eating maintenance and lifting?
>>
>>41196710
>>41196665
recomping is not eating at maintenance. recomping is eating at a deficit while keeping protein very high and training very intensely. it's effective if you're untrained or >20% bodyfat.
>>
>>41197576
>eating at a deficit
Isn't that fucking cutting then
>>
>>41197615
you're building muscle and losing bodyfat, so it's recomping. calorie-wise, yes it's cutting.

fun fact, you can recomp on a bulk too with steroids.
>>
>>41196645
If anything, beginners would be able to stick to recomping since they don't have the will power to consistently eat less/more in a cut/bulk. Noob gains will show A LOT for the average skinny fat person
>>
>>41197637
>>41197629

Beginners should stick to slow perma bulking for at least two years, no you won't get fat retard. 'recomp' is just a way of doing things way slower
>>
>>41197699
but im 20lbs overweight
>>
>>41197668
>should i still do protein powder on rest days?
buddy, time to start counting calories. you need 0.8g/lb of protein every single day, especially on rest days.
>>
>>41197914
fuck i know but that seems more than i could ever get through food alone. i guess i need the protein shakes then
>>
>>41196228
Lurking faggot reporting in, what kind of roids would I need to take to look like OPs pic?
>>
>>41196665
WHAT IS EATING MAINTENANCE HOW DO YOU NOT GAIN OR LOSE WEIGHT IF YOU'RE EXERCISING? Do you just eat more than usual and the exercising just balances it out?
>>
>>41196637
If I'm 25% body fat should I recomp or just cut? I have some muscle.
>>
>>41197944
if you're bulking you could easily get most of that through food. The issue is if you're cutting.
>>
>>41198233
So, there's this thing called "TDEE" or Total Daily Energy Expenditure. It's a rough estimate of how many calories you burn in a day. You can use a calculator like tdeecalculator.net to help determine this. (important to note that it's not set-in-stone and the exercise inputs are uneducated guesses at-best).

To bulk or cut you need to eat at calories above or below that number, giving you either a deficit (which causes your body to burn fat reserves, thus weight loss) or a surplus (which the body can use for muscle/mass generation).

Maintenance is eating more-or-less the same amount you burn, therefore no surplus or deficit. This way you neither gain fat nor gain muscle, though this can be beneficial for recomposition, which is basically a very slow process of the body converting fat to muscle. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are okay with your current body and don't mind a long transformation.

cut for the love of christ and never rise above 20% ever again
