Congratulations 🥂 🍾

Never tried to stop once in 28 years, was a chain smoker. Now I vape I started at a higher nicotine and quickly moved to 0% nicotine. I think it’s so much easier now as you don’t really smell smoke everywhere. On occasion I still miss it but it’s a memory triggered when I walk past someone smoking and smell it. Vaping has…

While I don’t have time to watch the video at the minute I used to train in a gym where this guy ate a dozen eggs for breakfast. He done so as was a cheap way to get protein, not being funny but he was very flatulent and it was horrific, he didn’t seem to mind but everyone else did!

Go on a slow bulk, start with 10% calories over maintenance and adjust from there. Best way to keep the waistline. Also use a daily weight app, don’t gain more than 1lb or so per week as you will be putting on fat and muscle.

Tell him to make his own dinner, job done 😆

Sounds to me like your an active lady. If you don’t want to keep losing weight then you need to up your calories. You can change your calorie goal in mfp and it’s better to use your own data rather than tdee estimations if you have data available. So for example say you have been eating 2k calories on average for last…

Agreed on they pesky water fluctuations. My 7.6lb water gain is now down to 4lb in 2 days. Hopefully by next week it will only be the actual 1.5lb that I should have gained according to how much I ate over maintenance.

Feel your pain, I’ve just finished a weeks diet break and have put on 7.6lbs 😭 Assuming it’s mainly water weight, went from 2300 calories to 4000+ but the food increase was mainly carbs. The numbers say it should be water but will see how long it takes to get back down.

Well done 👍💪

Great result, well done 💪👍

Looking very sharp 💪

Well done fella 😎 no reason to be ashamed to take your shirt off!! By the way you look under 15% body fat to me. A lot of guys only show the upper abs around the 15% mark but you have a full 6 pack. Outstanding what you have achieved without lifting. If your joints could handle light weights it might be an option. Now go…

Another vote for protein weetabix but still prefer having oats with a protein shake instead

Did they have more weight to lose? Regardless you have done great 👍

What height and weight are you?

@sardelsa looking sharp 💪 and ready for maintenance imo I’ve made it to 165lbs. That’s 22lbs loss in last 19 weeks, inc initial water weight. First diet break is for a week starting this Sunday, really looking forward to it. I think when I’m back my holiday it will be maintenance for me.

Wow what’s an achievement 😎 stunning

I have a protein shake with water before the gym as I go first thing in the morning. Soon as I finish I have another one blended with oats, banana and egg whites. I also have a protein bar with my second shake. Rest of the day I generally get my protein from food. I think it’s just what you prefer. I’m on a cut just now…

Normally each plate is 9.9kg for some reason 😂

Charge 2 hr does everything I need for recording cardio and weight lifting sessions. The charge 3 is just about to or has just been released, I would go for that

I have 30g oats, 30g whey, 300ml water and a banana When I go back to bulking I will add pb. Oh sometimes I add a drizzle of honey 🍯 or egg whites if I need more protein. Greek yogurt is good as well 😋

You won’t be able to spot reduce the small gut. It will go when you get the body fat closer to 10%. Generally for men ab outlines at 15% closer to 10-12 for full abs and lower say 8% for the totally chiselled look. You will be preserving muscle as your consuming 180g protein per day but just not as effectively if you were…

When the weather changes and you aren’t biking to the same level then your tdee calorie needs will change. In the meantime you need to eat more so you could add some fats as they’re calorie dense at 9 calories per gram. Maybe peanut butter, if you drink milk switch to full fat, drizzle some olive oil on salads. If your…

Nothing to add about high or low reps but wanted to say that I think maybe your to hard on yourself about building muscle or the way you perceive yourself. On the before/after pic thread your results are outstanding! Regardless of age which just makes it even more impressive! Keep up the good work 💪

Great job imo 👍💪😎

Thanks for sharing Steve, it certainly looks like a decent way to track the bf%. The reviews on Amazon uk are pretty mixed on the chisel but it reads as though it’s likely down to user error with people not continually taking readings from the same spot.

That’s interesting about the skulpt, hadn’t heard of them but had been considering buying a new bia scale, yes I know they aren’t accurate but I would like some semi decent way of tracking bodyfat. I am dubious that a lot of these things work on some formula based on bmi and expected weights. Away to do some skulpt…

Skyr yogurt high protein, low cals 😋 150g 98 calories 16.5g protein

Hanging leg or knee raises probably help as well

Every breed like them better than people
