Heavy Lifting and Calorie Deficit ?

donkraft

I started Stronglifts 5 weeks ago and I will say it turned my metabolism into a blast furnace. I am getting very hungry afer workouts. Everything im looking at and going by my own experience is to keep your calories the same for now. Work on your form through the beginning stages and lighter weights recommended for the beginning. When you start pushing and making strength gains, your body will be a blast furnace for calories. If you want to eat more, make small increments 2-300 cals. I havent lifted steadily since my mid 20's and I made great gains with this workout. (I think its the squats) Its simple and fun to see if you can conquer the weight for the week. Good luck.
