I want to be able to snatch x1.5 my body weight over my head.

Hey, mate. I do bodybuilding and I have recently started learning Olympic weightlifting as well.

Start with StrongLifts 5x5 or a powerbuilding routine and a caloric surplus of 500 calories. Milk, nuts, nut butters, oats, potatoes, rice.

Floor press, press on a medicine ball or put a plate on your back and do push-ups. With less weights and equipment than a standard gym, you could look at a high-volume high-frequency training since you will outgrow StrongLifts because of the lower rep ranges as other have mentioned above. I did Body Beast when I was…

Welcome to the community and Happy New Year! You've done an incredible transformation so far and will only continue to keep improving your body composition. Weight loss is a long term process rather than a short term one and you are making steady progress week by week.

Definitely not fat! I think you're observing changes that come with a bulk but don't start cutting with HIIT and a large deficit otherwise you will lose the strength and muscle you have built. Research recomping and calorie cycling as you can preserve your muscle mass while losing any excess fat after a winter bulk.

Technique comes before weight when you are starting out. Start with the two basic major compounds which are the squat and deadlift with only the barbell. You won't be overwhelmed by too many machine or cable exercises and you will develop a strong foundation which will transfer to other exercises while developing your…

You click their profile photo twice and click the silhouette of the two people on the right. :smile:

Welcome back! Sending positive vibes your way. I'm currently on the Power, Muscle, Burn program by Steve Shaw which is a powerbuilding routine.

A rowing machine is excellent but if you really want to be quiet, there are some great low impact bodyweight cardio workouts on YouTube.

Eat 1 gram of protein per pound, lift heavy 3 to 4 times a week, be at a small deficit and you will keep your gains and strength while lowering your bodyfat. Best of luck, Ryan.

Welcome! Always nice to see new and encouraging people on the journey. Feel free to add me.

Thank you for the replies. I read Dorian Yates would powerwalk four times a week on the off-season for cardiovascular health and to keep off excess fat.
-
Best of luck! Remember to set yourself small progress goals to reach and eventually you'll look back and see how far you've come. Instead of thinking of a 100lbs, look at it as losing 10lbs ten times.
-
Good luck, there's a lot of inspirational people and stories on here. I can't be your accountability partner as I'm a muscle builder but I look forward to seeing your progress and the positive changes in yourself.

I have found creatine but it is Magnesium Creatine Chelate with Dicreatine Malate instead of Creatine Monohydrate. It is more expensive than Monohydrate but it is excellent if you have GI issues or if you are concerned with the bloating effect that some report from creatine.

Reduce your calories to under 200 of your maintenance and continue to reduce by a 100 every week to observe the rate of weight loss. If you begin to reduce it by more than 300, remember to lower the volume of your strength training while attempting to keep your strength levels at least 70% of what they would be on a bulk…

Welcome to the forum! Returning you positive vibes. 🏋️♂️

I would love to meet new people! I currently enjoy powerlifting, olympic lifting and hypertrophy. I'm hoping to find friends to encourage and to share form and technique with! I'm also interested in physiology and sports therapy. Hope to hear from you!

I'll wait until April before I start cutting. The 70 day fat loss shred by Steve Shaw looks great. I have bulked from 176lbs to 222lbs but I've seen an increase in my bodyfat percentage as well and I'm now eating 3200 calories a day but I'll reduce it to 2300 calories per day once I start the fat loss shred.

Welcome to the forum! I'm also new here and hoping to find new and encouraging friends.
