The question was "how fast can you lose body fat?" I gave the formula for the maximum calorie deficit from fat. Apply it however you'd like. I just stated a simple fact.

I started with strength based and saw a large improvement in my strength but very little size gains. After a month on a split I didn't even look like the same person. I saw much faster gains.

31.4 x pounds of total body fat is the maximum calorie deficit from fat per day.

I'm questioning the accuracy of the 40%. For your average non lifting female of her height, average lean mass would be about 90-100lbs. To reach 150lbs with low body fat (let's say 15%) would be 127.5lbs of lean mass. For most women to put on 30-40lbs of muscle that would take quite a while. Like I said, I'm half a foot…

Where are you getting 40% body fat from? That would put your total lean mass higher than my entire body weight and I'm half a foot taller than you. 150lbs with low body fat at 5'2" would probably take about 2-3 years on a quality lifting program. Who told you that the first 20 minutes of cardio burns sugar and that after…

Always lift. Cardio is optional. Go heavier on your compounds and then throw in a couple accessory lifts for each muscle group.

If you want to get bigger then bulk, if you want to get leaner then cut. Either way you should be lifting. It sounds like you want to cut so just eat less and lift.

I escaped Auschwitz in a matter of months on a split while natty. Earlier this year I was almost hospitalized for an "eating disorder" and now people tell me I'm "gross" and "manly." My main problem with SS is that it doesn't have nearly enough upper body work. I know I'm still in curl bro mode but I'd take it any day over…

I haven't added any considerable strength for a long time. I was still able to squat 185 atg for reps when I busted my ankle so relative to my strength it's not that heavy. I mainly do higher rep (like 8-15) on most lifts. I do a lot of supersets like BB rows + curls, shrugs + front raise, etc. and I've seen great mass…

Thanks :)

All you need is a rack, bench, bar, and plates. Bonus points if you can get a pull up bar and/or rings for pull ups and dips.

Beginner: yes Overweight: yes Advanced: slowly

It's the muscle you can gain in a deficit when you first start lifting. For like 3-6 months you can diet down and gain muscle at the same time. You won't magically turn into Mr. O but you can make some gains. When your gains stall you need to chose to bulk or cut or you'll see no progress.

Fiber is good but protein is the most important, fat is 2nd, fiber is 3rd. A diet high in carbs but low in fats and protein will leave you starving and malnourished.

For best results start with a basic strength based program. Base your lifts on a % of your 1RM. If you're doing a set of 5 that fifth rep should be the last one you can do with decent form. That might just be the bar or you could be a beast and bang out 2plate for reps. It depends on how strong you are.

Do you mean where to buy them? lrn2google.

kek. not sure if srs.

I'll be giving out capsules of creatine and sample size packs of jack3d

So basically, carbs, carbs, carbs, carbs, carbs, and a little fat. No wonder you're hungry! Get some protein in and some more fat. I would starve to death on 1200 calories of carb but I can feel stuffed and have to force myself to eat after 400 calories of protein and 200 calories of fat.

Focus on compound movements like bench, squat, deadlift, OHP.

Strength training is more of an umbrella term. Calisthenics are considered strength training but not lifting. Lifting is also strength training. In the beginning strength training like calisthenics may be enough but eventually you have to move to lifting if you want impressive gains.

For meals try to eat more meat, non starchy vegetables, eggs, and other stuff like that. Good snacks would be greek yogurt, jerky, nuts/nut butters, vegetables with ranch or hummus, seaweed, and cheese.

You've been on track since March and had ONE bad eating day? So out of roughly 180 days one, just one, was a little off? 179/180 sounds good to me. Don't stress over it.

DO eat protein and lift, make sure you get some fat in your diet, too. DON'T worry about the rest because it doesn't really matter. Things like "clean" and "dirty" foods, meal timing/number of meals, etc. make no difference.
