>turns the irony off for a second Hey guys so I am beginning

eat 4000 calories and start lifting so ur metabolism is fastere

I'll do that after I hit my target weight I need to reduce my body fat and ease into weight lifting so I don't hurt my joints which are overburdened.

>>5190838
how much u weigh and height

>>5190839
205 lb, 6'2.5", 19%BF. Target weight is 180.

>>5190841
my friend you are skeleton mode as is

i have nearly as much lean mass as your target weight and i'm a 5'9 manlet

if you're serious about starving yourself go for the lower calorie option but eat like 3 heads of lettuce a day so you feel full

but seriously bulk

>>5190843
See that's the problem anon, I'm clearly observably fat. I have a paunch and the makings of a double chin. My weight is "low" probably because of my relatively low muscle mass. I can very easily pinch a roll of skin and it has a lot of give to it.

Even if I do bulk up, getting rid of that body fat is still important. I know I can't lose weight and bulk simultaneously.

I'm not sure, I lift very, very little (I mean in terms of weight, not how frequently I work out I go to the gym avidly). Won't it be counter productive to put on mass now and then try and lose my body fat?

if you're bored of eating crunchy food then try something soft and chewy

>>5190850
idk lol i just know that fat gains are real so make use of your flab while u got it

if you have joint problems then use wraps or go to physical therapy or use potassium / creatine or something. there is no reason your legs / back shouldn't support your weight unless there's some other issue.

>raw milk
You mean like unpasteurized milk? Milk from cow to glass? I don't follow.

By compound lifts do you mean super sets? Where each set is comprised of two different exercises?

>>5190864
Okay, I'll consider this. What's a good set/rep ratio if I'm trying to increase both mass and strength? Something like 5 sets of 6?

>>5190871
i always did 5x5 on heavy lifts and 10-15x5 on lighter lifts

the jews at the gym tell me more reps at a lower weight is better for gaining muscle but idk
