Funny how half this discussion turned into an ab debate, haha (chill with it). I'm going to start increasing my caloric intake as I think it's definitely reasonable that the deficit is a bit extreme and maybe even unnecessary. Anyone have any other advice for me? Changes to my work out? Or straight up going for a cut OR…

Thanks, everyone for the advice. It seems as though people tend to agree that I need to either increase my caloric intake or just focus on a straight up cut, when in reality I've just been so indecisive as to what to do having been doubting all my bf measurements when comparing them to what I see in the mirror. I'm going…

I was originally at 1600 a few months ago but decreased that by 1200 when I wasn't seeing the results I wanted (maybe it's just my body that seems to not see great results even at a deficit from genetics or maybe swimming all my life?). I have a regular 2 week routine that I follow (working out 6 days a week for 1hr) but…

Good point, but I don't have any strict belief in "broscience" and what I meant to say is I quit crunches since I know they don't burn fat but training them regularly is something I will definitely start to do. Again, I am not sure how accurate the weighing method I use is since when I look in the mirror I assume I am much…

Hydrostatic weighing, monthly for the past 3 months. I've seen little progress (the results have come out from 19 to 18 bf). My main concern is that my regimen, while extreme on the caloric deficit, still doesn't seem to burn enough fat

Hi, I weigh in monthly via hydrostatic since my family has a monthly subscription. Regardless of it's accuracy, however, I don't believe I am actually at the 18 percent it puts me at since I believe I have a lot of stomach fat going on. In terms of the calories, I might have to make that change so thanks. I've just…

Hi, thanks for the reply. You're most likely right about the caloric expenditure. As for the body measurements after a month, I do regular hydrostatic weighing (for the past 3 months or so) and those are what my results come out to. The problem is I still think I have reason to question the body fat percentage they give me…

5'5 and 125, don't have a weight goal since I could care less if I'm 115-130. My goal is to drop 6% in bf% by 2 months. I lost 3.7% in the last month, going from a weight of 128 to 125 and that's only 3 pounds but I had gained 6 pounds of muscle and lost one inch of fat

I think it's best if you load the first week at 10mg and go 5mg maintenance daily from there on out (what I did)

1200 on a strict cut. But since I'm younger and female it's only about a 500-600 deficit. 1200 gets me -1.5 to 2 pounds a week. I bulk super clean still so 2000 on bulk
