in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Background. I'm 52. Not a big guy nor a big eater. I did manage to get some pounds on and then leaned down. I read a lot on this website about cutting. Seems to be over complicated Most of us are not mass monsters and will not be Ronnie Colemens types. I found the cutting process to be very simple. Eat at a slight deficit and do HIIT 3x a week. I kept my workout and food choices the same. It can't get anymore simple then that can it? Worked for me anyways.

    Two weeks aggressive cut.
    3-4 weeks small deficit.

    Up my volume a tad as well as protien to just above 1g/lbBW to help retain muscle.

    Easy peasy peachy squeezy.

    Yep. It is that simple. And it worked for me too. Good job.

    There’s still people saying carbs make you fat. Even YouTube doctors. Ugh!

    Btw, it looks like your obliques go all the way back to your spine. 👀

    That’s amazing!

    Indeed. As I wrote in another post. I still had my half serving of serious mass, half bagel and sticky rice during the cut. I should mention I don't eat beef or pork very often. Even when gaining. Maybe a burger twice a year and bacon as a treat 3 or 4 times a year. Chicken, fish and turkey work better for me. Thanks for the obliques compliment.

    Great job!

    I keep it super simple
    -Moderate deficit
    -Adequate protein
    -Progressive lifting

    I do add some extras but only after those above are met.


    Thanks. Reads like a excellent game plan.

    Thanks. Got them from doing my physio for shoulders. Serratus punch is what the movement is called I think.
