Hello, /fit/. I have some doubts about gym wear, fasting, cutting and cardio after reading the sticky.
>Should cardio always be avoided or when should it be done?
>What are the benefits of fasting? Is it better than losing weight by cutting calories?
>I'm making progress without increasing weight, should I just continue at this bodyweight until I plateau?
>How do you stop yourself from loading muscle when cutting?
>What is good gym wear? Is wearing no brand shorts with a round neck t-shirt ok? Do I need to get sweatpants, etc to not look like a retard?
>Are bro splits okay? I do compunds as well along with isolation and machines
I've been going to a rundown place at 5am to exercise by myself for two months.

Fucking disgusting

>cardio
Do cardio. It really depends on your own tolerance for physical stress, but a few cardio sessions a week can really complement regular lifting and ensure you keep off unwanted fat. I do mine on rest days.

>fasting
Really depends on both your ability to stick to a fast and your body. Cutting calories is all but guaranteed to work, fasting can be more of a gamble, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a shot.

>progress
Sure, as long as you're looking and feeling healthier. Plenty of people out there work on reaching rep/set goals with a given weight rather than progressing in weight, but that depends on your goals.

>cutting
I assume you mean "losing muscle", and you do it by keeping protein intake up. I get a little more than 1g protein per 1 pound of bodyweight while in a 500 calorie deficit (which is surprisingly doable, though it might not be as easy if you're smaller - I'm 6' 200) and have actually seen minor muscle gains during my current cut

>gym wear
Nobody gives a shit. The outfit you described is perfectly fine.

>bro splits
I mean, you could probably do better, but especially as a beginner you're going to make gains no matter what. There is no "perfect program", but SS and similar programs are generally great for beginners and as you gain experience it gets easier to formulate a program for your own needs. The other issue with a bro split is that when you're making your own rules and setting your own goals without so much as a suggestion from an external source, you're prone to not working yourself as hard (or the opposite). Again, with experience that will become less of a problem
