START WITH THE BAR.... this is not an option, ya for the first few weeks it'll be pretty easy, but it will get hard. So keep in mind that 5x5 is high volume as in sets, and is intense, and if your goal is to build muscle you will require a caloric surplus, or you will stall out fast when you get higher. 5x5 is very taxing…

Ummm...resistance workout/training is weight lifting....just an FYI!! Personally i dont add my weight training days, i just input my cardio, and only add it for a minute, so it doesnt screw up my macros.

That is so true, studies have shown that people who exercise, tend to take their diet more seriously. They make healthier choices, and keep weight off longer. Also exercise is will be needed at some point to keep weight off, whether anyone likes it or not, most people will have to incorporate some form of exercise for long…

If you dont exercise--- no weights, just do SS cardio, or HIIT cardio Your "weight" loss will included lean muscle and body fat, the latter is what you want to get rid off, the former you want to retain... I did this for 3 months, yes I loss a bunch of weight, but with it went a bunch of lean muscle, at 248 lbs I did not…

Percentage wise i do 40 carbs, 35 protein (gives me ~ 1g/per lb of TOTAL body weight), 25 fat. Which is pretty close to the standard 40/30/30. "right" percentages depends on person (physiology, etc.), but these are good numbers to start with. This has worked great for me. I usually stay well below my carbs, anyway, I m…

What about Creatine Kre-Alkalyn? Supposed to have no retention or Bloating, I have used it, albeit a while ago, and thought it was pretty good. Purple K or something like that (brand name) Im sure there are others. But not sure what form compares to monohydrate etc.... or what others have experienced...

Just before i ask my question - I have not yet started IF, jus trying to gather as much info as I can before i do! If cutting and weight loss are the goal is RPT doable, or practical, or are higher rep ranges a better route? I have seen differing opions... I have also seen a slightly higher rep rang in RPT for…

Doesn't matter when you have it, or how much. Long as your under TDEE at the end of the day.

Save your money.

Focus is Fat Loss, and strength...Muscle mass is on back burner for now.
-
Cool, def gonna give it a shot.... BUT... As an alternative to IF (if i choose to keep pluggin away with what im doing atm)Im curiouswhat is the dividing line between a healthy deficit and a unhealthy? In terms of muscle maintenance. I would think 20-25% is fine (almost 1.5lbs per week), would going below that, say 30-35%…

Ture dat, I have been looking into this for a couple weeks, and getting a ton of info, I posted regarding it yesterday, just joined the IF group this a few seconds ago.. Looking to start in next couple weeks, just need to get some more info, re: macros, cas, etc. and TRAINING, interms of optimal training. Found out by BF…

Couldn't agree more clobercow!

Razique, man your IF table in the spreadsheet, makes total sense to me now...LOL...n FFS.... I was at when I posted the message asking you a few times about macros.... when they were right in front of me the whole time...and i thought that spreadsheet was fantastic before! There is still research to be done and some more…

Dont get me wrong my priority is Fat Loss, not Muscle gain, and not both at same time, sorry if it came across as both. i like to set one goal and see it thru. Although there can be slight gains in both at same time. The 3100 or so came from my maintenance calories ~2700 + 15%, I figured a good number to maintain (possibly…
-
Jus curious Nam, what kind of lifting program do you use? thinking 5x5, or some heavy volume variation of it. My goal is to cut fat, so ya think eating at maintenance on lift days or say 10% above to start is reasonable, as well on non lift days (assuming cardio) say eat 20-25% below to start?
-
Ya i know that, my bad, I didnt mean Fat as in gaining Fat cells (more in a metaphorical way, I should have been way more \specific!))... I meant gaining any kind of weight, as my goal here is to maintain muscle mass, and Lose Fat, I do not want to bulk at this point. Although a very small gain in LBM, due to strength…
-
Sounds like it works for your really well. Just curious, what kind of results have to had to date?
-
Yup I have that all figured out, bout 2700-2800, is mine with 3-5 days of exercise... probably more. So not knowing what your TDEE is, looks like you may be at maintainence or above, on training days. Assume you are running a large (20-25%) deficit on rest days, do you count your cardio days as rest days aswell? How do…
-
Thanks Jnick, I just didnt want to lift heavy if I was going to be spinning my tires so to speak, but it does make sense. I will decide when i get to my chosen BF% if I will increase intake beyond maintenaince for hypertophy or not. I have been pretty close to 40/4/20 on training days actually, as Im always over my…

Dude, thats awesome...dunno what I have been wating for... I have been researching it for a bit, I probaly havent looked deep enough, so if the info is there, just point me in right direction, I dont wanna come across as being spoonfed... Hope this doesnt sound like 20 questions...but I cant seem to find info on what to…

I enjoy myself, and dont log free, cheat meals/days. For a meal i will log what I had during the day, and when we go for dinner I dont log anything, same for snacks on friday night... I find its too much of a crap shoot, and pretty useless... they are cheats for a reason! Just keep it in moderation is all I "try" to do!…
