Any cons of bulking and cutting at heavier body fat % than the 10-12% to 15-17% body fat?
So I have naturally thin wrists to the point that when I lean down to 10-12% body fat, although it's cool to see muscle definition and 6 pack abs without a shirt on...with a shirt on, I don't look like I lift. Of course, when I have a higher body fat, I look more massive with a shirt....of course without a shirt, there's…

My latest bulking and cutting journey.
So I've been doing bulking and cutting for the past 5 years. I have been always a lean person, never had an overweight problem like some have. It was still no fun for me, I would wake up every day and hate what I used to see, I would see a really skinny guy. I decided to make changes when I hit 30 years old and I am glad I…

Need your advice on what I should do next.
I ended my cut last week. So I am currently on maintenance calories. Normally, I would stick with 2-3 weeks at maintenance and then start my bulk. However, I'll be on vacation in mid September and I will certainly not track my food there, so I may come back from my trip gaining a lot of weight. Last time, I went on a trip,…

Can anyone recommend a good food scale especially for liquids (ML)
My current food scale has different units settings (g, oz, ml)...The one issue I have is that whatever liquid I put in a cup, the scale at grams and at ml settings will always have the same number. So for example, if I pour 10g of olive oil, it will appear also as 10ml if I change it's setting to ml. Samething for ice…

Coming back from my diet break, losing weight too fast...I need your thoughts.
So I've been cutting since early May at 2400 calories. I only needed to lose approximately 15 lbs (Started at 170 lbs and I want to end somewhere around 155 or 160, depending how I look by then). I've been losing weight on average somewhere between 1 to 1.3lbs per week which is fine because it wasn't exceeding 1% of my…

5 years of progress
So I am 5'9 and currently 165 lbs. Before 2013, I was a very skinny person. I thought genetically I was screwed and that the gym would be just a waste of time back in my 20's. When I hit 30 years old, I hated how I looked, the skinny arms, small frame...I would be wearing 2 tshirts at the same time in the summer in order…

Citrulline malate
So I just bought recently my first bag of citrulline malate which I mix it with caffeine, creatine and beta alanine for my pre workout. Now my question is about off days, I know creatine and beta alanine should also be taken on off days, but is citrulline malate necessary to be taken on off days too? I get conflicting…
