Wow...super confusing. bulk/cut yes...bulk/cut no. cant build muscle and cut fat at the same time...can do both at the same time. Really sucks for a beginner. I just want to get rid of some body fat and build some muscle. Not to look good but to be healthier. I'm 43 and have a 7 year old and a 5 year old that wear me out.…

awesome article jemhh. It answered some of my questions. Thanks for the link.

Great...the gut. So obviously the cut phase lasts until the fat is gone right? Also any particular macro percentages carbs/protein/fat to shoot for during each phase?

I printed off the stronglifts 5 spreadsheet so I can start it. Thanks for the inputs.

so adding some heavy lifting could help? if so, total body or focus on larger muscle groups like back, legs and chest?
-
oh. That makes sense. Does it matter if I lift heavy or not?
-
Ok so I am 43 years old, 5'11" tall, 207 pounds with probably 30% BF. I have lost 8 pounds in 26 days on my way to losing 30. Is there a benefit to lifting weights while I am cutting calories to lose weight or lose the weight I want and then do the surplus/deficit cycles?
-
nope.
