I read a lot of lean bulking. What is lean bulking?

:) :) :)

Thanks !

Thanks. I will :). Thank you for the inspiration

Thank you CBL. I take that as a guidance.

I don't think whatever I do that I get bulky. Unfortunately at my age (sounds old) it doesn't go that fast. So a bit more defined. That would be it.

I use fitlist app to track my progress. I check the StrongLifts app which seems very simple but also a bit restricted. I like to do more then only heavy compounds lifts. I like push-up, pull-ups, some abs, dumbbell exercises etc.

I looked around and it seems obvious that I should progress with a recomp. Gain muscle and stay at the same weight.

It's Russian Tvorog (Cottage cheese/Greek Yoghurt) with pine nuts and raisins. Sometimes with cranberries or fresh fruits (blueberries, kiwi etc..). Abt 300 cals and contains all you need.

Thanks for your advice. I will check out the app.

Not too bulky. Fit and healthy. You can be my PT anytime.

Dear Snowbirdie, Thank you for your inspiring and flattering comments! I am much happier indeed and after your remark I can't wait to hit the gym again..

I don't feel like bulking. For what I have gathered on information about recomp it's slower but steady. That seems to fit me. Slowly moving fat into muscle without gaining weight. If that eventually results into a more shredded look I don't think I can't be more happy. I just need to find the right routine. I have started…

Keep going :D it is possible!!

I am going to try. O yes !

Hi Schila64, Thanks. I am blushing

Hi Bambi, Thanks for your feedback. I also went to that link and it gave some good insights. Plenty to go on. Thank you again.

So from all the remarks I have to recomp (?), maintaining weight but growing muscle. I have looked at Stronglifts 5x5. It seems a simple straightforward program. Would that be the right choice?

Hi JB, Thanks for your inspiring comments. I am happy so far but the journey isn't over. I guess my maintenance cal around 2300-2500cals/day. I have set my MFP at 2000. So if I cheat a little bit or misinterpret the quantities I eat I still be ok. I try to get not less then 200gr of proteins a day. I don't gain weight but…

But it took me 10months. So not a 12weeks madness program or something like that. Just gradually and consistently. I hit one or two plateaus. Review my intake and my exercise and continued.

If you want to know about weight loss to start I can tell you a lot :). That has been my current journey. I used to do a lot of cardio (rowing and swimming). Since I decided to lose weight I switched to healthy food and macros, which to my opinion is 80% of the job. I started on top of that weight lifting to increase my…

Lean mass

Lean mass although I don't fully understand the difference in your question

I believe that if I don't progress, if I don't set new targets I will go backwards again.

53 by next week :)

Yes. But not very structured. Mainly to lose weight. Now I want to follow a strategy to gain muscle.

Impressive. On an average I am half way your weights. I am deadlift, squat and bench press to lift my own weight. Deadlift I am there and I can do probably more. Focus is on Bench press now. Just 70k
