What do i do /fit/?
I'm thinking i should just wait until i can start eating maintanance again after i hit my goal, but i'm not sure.
I don't want to deload either, i genuinely want to make some gains.

Wait so are you complaining about how you aren't making gains when you're on a deficit? LMAO
Just cut till your goal and get your BF% as low as you can, then clean bulk cycle for aesthetics

I've been following SL 5x3 with an olympic bar and a power rack. I've thrown in some dumbbell exercises to warm up.
>>
>>41334794
Why 5x3 and not 5x5?
>>
>>41334826
I can't do that much without sacrificing weight.
>>
>>41334761
start to eat at maintenance and eat breakfast. especially as a beginner you need nutrients in the morning after 7-10 hours without food!!
dont fall for the IM fasting meme. and dont fall for low volume meme do at least 10 reps per set.
>>
are you still eating chocolate or drinking soda? i hate doing any workout after eating that crap
>>
>>41334845
Uhm...yeah, that's kinda the point. Try 5x5
>>
>>41334761
>What do i do /fit/?
black coffee or caffeine pills before workout
supplement with a teaspoon of manning the fuck up

>>41334882

Probably a leptin problem.
The first 2 weeks where good because of high levels of leptin. You should take a weekend or two and add 500 calories per day of pure carb (glucose, not fructose).
I did a low carb, strict 2000 calories diet combined with IF for 6 months straight, if only I knew sooner.
