Optimum is my favorite, but I love Controlled labs PROnom whey protein its my second, 3rd would be syntha6

While Im cutting I prefer to eat all my foods instead of drinking shakes or anything just so I can have the satisfaction of chewing something lol it really does help. Also your cutting, not building give it 100% but dont treat your workouts like you did when you bulked. Be wary that your in a deficit so you body cannot…

There is no "magical" cut off time this is a myth. Total caloric intake for the day is whats important. I eat about 70% of my carbs before I go to sleep everynight and have never had a problem.

9!!! looking great!

Mexican, White, Japanese....racially confused lol

When I cut body fat to under 8% the rule of thumb that I use is my Total fats +Total carbs never surpasses my Total Protein. for instance when I cut, my protein goal is around 250g. I prefer fats because I am not limited to foods like chicken breast or turkey bacon, tuna. My fats stay around 115-120g and my carbs will stay…

Abs are worked immensely through deadlifts and squats. Abs are also Marinated in the Kitchen but cooked at the gym :)

Of course when cutting you will ultimately lose some muscle but the point is to minimize that reaction. I get what youre saying tho. Keeping high protein and strength training is key most def.

So what are your percentages set at? Carbs are your energy source, when youre out of carbs the body turns to fat for fuel so if your Low-carbing you should be moderate goodfats 50p 30f 20c

Calorie deficit is important, but you need to be tracking your Macro and Micro nutrients with some emphasis on fiber. No matter what youll lose weight in a deficit but if you want to keep losing that fat you must dial in on your fats,proteins,carbs. Now there are numerous diets out there but one that helped me a lot was a…

Very good questions! There should be no reason you aren't dropping body fat if your diet and training is looking like that. You could try to switch up the workout routine like someone up there said more HIIT workouts. Im not a doctor but at your age maybe you could get your Testosterone levels checked. Your 3 best friends…

This is why I wear the biggest pair of headphones I own so they know im not to be bothered lol

Tuna is high in protein but you need calorie dense foods. Red meat, eggs with yolk,Cheese, Milk, peanut butter, Oatmeal, Waffles, brown rice, pancakes, I can give u an at home weight gaining recipe for a 1300 calorie shake.

My maintance is 3560calories so first week I go to 2700 calories 50% p 30%carbs 20% fat. 2nd week I drop to 2500, 3rd week 2300. the only cardio I do on my cut is Pull-ups for time, and push-ups for time. I hate treadmills and stairclimbers. I also do not log my exercises because I fell the app is wrong.

Got you

Exactly my thoughts, I was killing myself for the longest trying to time my pre and pwo meals, when as long as im eating sometime before and sometime after I wont hinder my gainz. Thanks

Brush your teeth and gargle with scope(works for me). Chew on sugar-free gum. This ones my favorite glass of water and 2 scoops of metamucil it taste like crap but it fills you up with fiber.

And I follow Flexible dieting guidlines, so I usually eat a poptart or two after I train.

Haha Im constantly lean bulking just a 200-300 surplus. But my body reacts verrry fast to dieting so when I eat at deficit i can be 8% fat or lower in 3 weeks. When I first started really dieting I would put so much emphasis on pre and post workout. Id literally drink a shake with dextrose and then eat a family size tuna…

Total carbs + Total fats never surpases my total protein. For example on my cuts I usually shoot for minimum 250g of protein, my fats around 120 and my carbs around 130. I got down to low 7% like this at 176 pounds. But were all different this is what worked best for me.

For some reason the song by Eminem - Till I colapse. this song always makes me pumped for my next set.

Yup I live the IIFYM lifestyle myself, Im just trying to get different views on it because Ive experimented with both and saw no gain or loss trying either.

But ive researched Nutrient Timing and the subjects were all tested in an 18 hour fasted state. Of course their bodys reacted to a simple carb and protein shake pwo. But I agree with you for max lean muscle gain eating big postworkout is important for repair

Gold standard choc malt 2 scoop, 1 cup of pasturized egg whites poured in, 1 scoop 100% creatine equals 2g fat, 6g carbs, 75g protein mmmmmmm

Will do, Gonna hit it hard this week. Dont believe me? Just Watch!

HAHA his "supplements" are better too. LIGHT WEIGHT BABY

Yea twice per week is my goal. My Diet is 100% on point and my sleep is 8-10 a day. I may think of incorporating an extra rest in between like you said though I dont wanna blast my CNS to shreds lol THANKS

You can look into the routines that require the use of Resistance bands. Those will realllly lean you out. I wish I had big and muscluar legs I do leg routines twice a week intensely but I think im genetically just chicken legged lol Are you incorporating upper body strength training at all? If not it may just appear your…

No problem bruh

You got this! Keep on trucking brother, dont let up
