Thank you again for the feedback. I’ll start incorporating this as of next week and yeah might do that switch with squats and deadlifts and also throw in the RDL’s as well. So how does this sound? (Friday I go to the gym so could throw in lay pull downs and pull ups) Monday - Goblet squat Shoulder press RDL Bench press Db…

Yeah did think a bit random I made it up myself with things that I wanted to work on but after doing both goblet and deadlift’s in same workout is a bit much so will separate those

Thank you so much for to the advise, so would this be: Monday A Wednesday B Friday A And the next week the same pattern or better to go B A B?

Thank you for the advice, I’ll look to trying to replace the foods and not be too restrictive on the macros other than proteins and see how that fairs.

My calories now are currently 2500, have been increasing gradually, maint wait is 2450 from what TDEE calculators say so goal calories for current weight/height/body fat% is 2700. Gonna get to this and gauge the weekly weight gains to see if this needs to be more

Yeah I should change over most of these. These were the foods I bought while on the cut and have just been trying to increase amounts, if I change them all over my fat intake goes over my macros. Does this matter much?

Was worried that increasing fats would increase more the fat gains. Currently macros set to 45 carbs 35 proteins and 20 fats.

Now weighing 76.6kg roughly. Stubborn fat around the middle still but rest of the body has gotten really skinny which I don’t like. Am now considering doing a bulk from here but not sure best macro splits for rest days and workout days. I’m going to focus on a maybe four weeks of three days of fully body 3set 6reps…

Update after a slow cut.

This was super helpful! Thank you for the link.

Thank you for the advice. I think I’ll take a rest week to recover some strains in shoulder and back. Will re-do the 12 week cutting plan and see how that goes.

Thank you for the suggestion! Would this mostly be focusing on compound? And what sort of calorie intake should it be?

How long should I do the cut? I was previously in a 12 week cutting program (buff dudes as well) Should I start from the beginning of the program which is similar to the bulk with three days of full body or should is start where it’s a 5 day split body? As for calories do I drop by 250-450 straight off or say 100 per week…

The plan I followed was the BUFF Dudes bulking plan. Started out as two weeks of three day full body focusing on mostly compound then two weeks of 4 days upper and lower days at 75% 1RM. Then two weeks of upper lower again over 4 days at 90% 1RM. Then two weeks of 4 day body part split (chest/triceps, back/biceps etc...)…

Sorry this wasn’t meant to go here 😂

Should I continue to bulk up? My weight has now gone up to 82.4kg From 79kg. My diet has been fairly clean until Christmas hit then I ate a bit more in the ways of sugar though have tried to keep proteins consistent and staying in may 3000kcal target.

UPDATE: So after a 12 week bulk following a plan that works around 70-90% of 1RM focusing on strength and hypertrophy, this is the result:

Thank you this has been very useful, so I’ve started my bulking workout plan today, the first three weeks are 4 days full body with low reps longer rest times 3sets 6reps at 65%rm (still got to figure my 1RM properly), my aim is going to do the workouts and focus on form. I’m gonna stick with the full body workouts by…

That’s a lot to think about, my goal is to put on a good lean muscle mass, the typical beach bod as it were, the chisled look and I don’t want to look this skinny. I Workout in the mornings on just a cup of coffee. I have no time frame really and know it will take quite some time to get the results I’m looking for. Diet…

Thank you that was quite the insightful video, was wondering about a maintenance calorie intake. Looks like I’ll gradually increase my calories to maintenance again from these lower calories and then add increase only a bit over and see how that goes.

I do lift, not a lot of weight in my opinion but I started in February following a 12 week plan, then went on to a 12 week cutting workout plan and now I have a bulking plan focusing on strength and hypertrophy ready. Just stuck on the transitioning from cut to bulk and how many calories I need to be aiming for.

Thank you for the advise, I read the article and was very helpful! I have a plan ready it’s just the transitioning from the lower calories to the surplus and how quickly I should do it.

Currently am at 2300kcal a day. Maint is roughly 2800kcal. How steady should I increase the calories? 100 or 200 extra day?

Thank you so much for the reply! Will be glad to start bulking, will adjust my intakes during the phase and hopefully will get the results I’m looking for. 😁

Hahaha my apologies! Damn phone must have auto corrected them 😂 Thank you very much for the advice! You have both been super helpful! I’ll look into the website more and see what it has to say as well but glad to know that food timings aren’t as important 😁

Thank you so much! This was very helpful 😊 I will look to setting up my macros properly with this info and hopefully can get the desired results. Perhaps you’d be able to help with the use of BCAAs and Creatinine? I currently have been drinking one scoop 5g of BCAA+ with 1 scoop 5g of creatinine to drink during my…
