I do a similar thing occasionally, nut oil into protein shakes, easy way to add some serious calories :)

carbs are carbs, find calorie dence food full of carbs and you have a win. Its what you like to eat, when im bulking i tend to spend the last 5/600 calories of my food on garlic bread/french fries/chocolate/ice cream and all sorts of stuff.

Id suggest, eating more and cutting out the cardio. What lifting plan are you following? hopefully something with good progressive overload. EDIT: Ive just seen that your a guy, at the same height as me, i have 40ish lbs on you and i dont consider myself fat, just eat more and lift heavy.

stop the cardio, if your trying to gain muscle. if you really need to and you can hit all your micro and macronutrient needs in 1200 calories, eat some ice cream or something to get you to what you need your target to be. On the note of it decreasing fitness, no. The benefits of lifting heavy will help your fitness ten…

Work out your tdee. Eat 250 calories above it per day. Eat 1g of protein per kg of bodyweight at least. Plenty of carbs, dont skimp on the fat, you need it for hormone regulation. Start a program such as starting strength or New rules of lifting for women. give it 4 weeks and see how you go.

feel free to add :)

And can we also remember 99% of these guys are on juice, its not a fair comparison

DOMS for me normally mean I'm starting to need a deload week, in general, lighter load week to help my central nervous system recover. Plenty of stretches and mobility work also. Think im either very lucky or adapt well as doms only come to me when its a few months since a deload.

you need to educate yourself more on weightloss, not jump in and hop on meds.

bull**** <- drink every weekend

If you have lose skin on your stomach IT WILL eventually repair itself alot of the way on its own, there are threads on this, dont go to extremes, give your body a chance. For now lift heavy & eat well, give yourself time.

Only by like 3-5% though, so dont stress the little things.

Heres how i think on this one, if your not a professional body builder or fitness model etc dont go to extremes, eat & drink, just in moderation. Try and keep a basic idea of what youve drank calorie wise, and be aware of that when it comes to your weight loss for the week.

not -all- powerlifters mind ;)

Moderation? Only have it once a week? Balance it out, when I cheat, say i go over by 800 cals, that means the next 4 days ill go under by 200 a day. Probably not ideal, but works for me.

Same here, feel free to add me.

Whilst not as impressive as alot of others, last 14 months of recomp for me: Before: Current:

Could you strap your knees for squats? Box Squat?

I went out on a date with a girl, and she didn't bring me a ready made sandwich or wash the dishes, I thought women liked to do these things. Made her walk home.

just to throw this in there, by changing your lifts frequently all your doing is causing new neural adaptation, in your first few years of lifting you need consistency, consistency, consistency.

Full bodys are designed for 3 days a week, thats because you need to rest, especially for your connective tissue. A push pull alternative system performed every day is still going to be the slower in terms of gains than the full body, if your natural and in your first two years of lifting. Personally I would suggest doing…

put it like this, if you manage to get out of bed to take a **** in the morning, your not sedentary, as that will put you on 1200 cals. Google Scoobies TDEE calculator, plug your details in, try yourself on those calories for 4 weeks, and adjust up/down appropriately, try and keep your activity levels the same throughout.

Can we see a pic of you at 6%, personally I'm curious. If i was you id start a full body routine, I barely put any muscle on doing split routines, then when i shifted to a full body routine i actually started to see a difference.

Uhmmmm music to lift heavy things too.... Lamb Of God - Pariah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Bi_g_w0wI Knife Party - EDM Death Machine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88tUS0tZ4gg Yes i have some very strange music tastes.

Boo im in my twenties but i also have a penis :(

No better feeling, now to go to shopping!

From your own profile page: lol

Keep at it! If your lifting heavy and ensuring you progress the amount you lift on a weekly basis your already doing the right thing. Keep your calories at a small percentage below your tdee, lift heavy and more importantly be patient, it can take a while.

Just going to say that one side effect of being in a calorie deficit for an extended period of time is depression. I would honestly try your hardest to eat enough or maybe a little more for 2-4 weeks and see how your feeling then. Otherwise a good book to look into reading:…
