    Will this workout routine get me results in three weeks?

    edited March 7 in Fitness and Exercise
    I'm a 19 year old male, and in June, I used to weight about 190. Now, I'm about 160. Light, and I'm in desperate need of muscle. Instead of a calorie deficit, I'm eating around my BMR. Each day, I do 50 pushups, 50 squats, 50 bench dips, and I do 50 sit-ups every other day.

    I have a cruise in three weeks and I want to look a little better. My two questions are:

    1. Will I see any results in three weeks?
    2. What at-home exercises can I do to make my hips look smaller? I have wide hips for a guy.

    Thank you!

      No.

      Agreed. Hit the gym - heavy weight

      What she said. Also, BMR is the bare minimum of calories you need to take to function properly (so you're most likely in a deficit if you're eating at your BMR). What you're looking for is to eat over your maintenance (TDEE + X) to gain muscles.

      Forgive my inadequacy, but what do those abbreviations in the last sentence mean? Though I've been dieting for a while, I'm still pretty new to this :)

      TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) is one of the method to calculate your needed calorie for weight maintenance (amount of calorie you need to keep your weight the same). And from there, you can add more calorie to create a surplus (hence I put TDEE + X) to build muscles or subtract less calorie from TDEE for a deficit leading to fat loss.

      I realize I'm probably asking dumb questions but if I add calories to create a surplus, will any of that turn into fat?

      .... but if...
      You lift heavy *kitten*, you'll grow some muscle.

      There are ways to minimize the fat gain from eating at a surplus, however to answer the basic question OP, 3 weeks isn't enough time to see gains no matter what you are doing, with that said; in order to see gains, you have to lift heavy and eat at a surplus. body weight exercises and eating at your BMR will result in further fat/muscle loss.

      No. Too late. Go tan for the next 2 weeks, being tan always makes people look better....even if you don't have the muscles

      Yeah, tanning helps.
