I want to do an experiment. It'll take 6-8 weeks....
Take pictures, front, back, side.
Take measurements, waist, thighs, bust, hips, biceps, weight.
Calculate your TDEE using this site:
http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator
Subtract 15% from that. Enter that as your calorie goal in MFP. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.75. Try to eat that number in grams of protein every day. Take your weight, multiply it by 0.33. Eat that at least that in grams of fat every day.
Now, this will require a gym, or heavy lifting equipment at home, but do this routine, to the letter, for 6-8 weeks:

THEN after your 6-8 weeks, take a week off of lifting (this is called a de-load). Repeat your pictures, measurements and weight and come back and show us.

hi there.0 -
Reminding myself to post here Friday, when I finish my 12th week of Stronglifts, eating at or near maintenance. And then a week after Friday.
Can everyone please play nice so this thread is still around next Friday? :bigsmile:0 -

Too bad I am not one of those that bulk easily......doing all that I was only able to lose 1.5% body fat in a week. I suck at this.0 -
In for the bulk.0

Bumping to come back to0

Have I missed something? TDEE -15% is a deficit. You cannot bulk on a deficit.
Or are you talking about eating back exercise cals?
I think I've missed something.0 -

You did fantastic! 1.5% is excellent progress.0 -
A deload is not taking a week off either. When you deload you reduce the amount of weight and volume for that particular cycle.0

She's pointing out that it isn't the weight lifting but the lack of deficit that causes these women to blow up like puffed fish (of so they say) if they so much as look at a non-pink weight.0 -

Thanks. I thought I'd missed the whole point and I was right lol.
Might go and have something to eat now so my brain starts working.0 -

Well not really...you see she asked for girls that get bulky and ........is your sarcasm detector in the shop? It happened to me the other day too.0 -
Bump.0

Going on the Rae plan. Will report back. :flowerforyou:0

My point is that I will not believe a woman who says she bulks easily unless she has done something like this and I can see evidence of significant muscle gain in the measurements and pictures.0
