Lean Bulking and Guesswork
I am not sure why my previous post was taken down. However, I am basically inquiring how often you guys will eat out at a restaurant or guess calories rather than being super accurate with calories. As in, how many meals (typically) a week especially on a lean bulk? Also, how do you allot the calories? I typically give one…

I'm currently doing: Seated calf raise x 6 sets Smith machine calf raise x 4 Calf press on the leg press x 3 Walking calf raises x 3 Dumbell calf…

Supersets
What's the goal: strength building or fat-burning? Or something else. I did 3 sets of these following a workout video for upper body. I used the weight I would normally use during my lifting sessions and wow--too much. On one exercise I couldn't do all of the reps. So I should aim for all of the reps at a lower weight,…

Wanting to get cut and build muscle
So I started in April at 228lbs and my goal is to get to 195. I am 5'8" tall.

Schwarzenegger’s “Blueprint” Program
I started this program pretty recently, and while I’m adjusting the meals a little bit to gain weight faster, I’ve been sticking to the training program, aside from a few exercises that take a toll on my knees/rotator cuffs. Was wondering what everyone’s opinion of this program is (you can look it up online) or what your…

Need your advice on what I should do next.
I ended my cut last week. So I am currently on maintenance calories. Normally, I would stick with 2-3 weeks at maintenance and then start my bulk. However, I'll be on vacation in mid September and I will certainly not track my food there, so I may come back from my trip gaining a lot of weight. Last time, I went on a trip,…

Building muscle
I want to build my legs, booty, shoulders, and arms. I also want to eventually have a flat tummy. I have a bit of stubborn belly fat on my lower belly. Can I build muscle on maintenance calories beyond the first year of recomp? Or are bulk and cut cycles more appropriate for these goals?

Powerlifting and cutting
I’ve been lifting for a few years and just switched to powerlifting, planning to do my first meet in October. Obviously getting stronger is a goal right now but from the physique side I’d like to cut about 10% bodyfat (not necessarily by October, just in general, I’m around 28% now). Any advice for doing both?

Hi, I have a goal to put on 10kg of muscle. My calorie intake per day is around 3000. I am pretty active and burn around 1500-2000 calories a day. When I put this into my fitness schedule in My Fitness Pal it then wants me to consume those extra calories I burned. Is this correct? Do I need to eat back burned calories…
