    im going to give this a shot for about a week, if I continue to lose weight at this rate though ill just go back to my original plan.

    now in hindsight i see that I was basically eating at maintenance calories, because my weight always hovered around 150lbs on a regular basis.

    I should be asking what your bulking routine is

    I mean if you are really focused on losing weight, go for it

    go with that in mind

    Hard calorific deficit that you can maintain
    Cardio
    Do weights to keep the muscles engaged even if you lose size and strength
    Within your low calorie diet, maximize proteins


    Then worry about bulking up later

    like I said, it’s very difficult doing both at the same time. Do what’s more important to you first

    I saw Jay cutler used to eat 10 times a day, 10 full meals with 50 grams of protein and 100 grams of carbs

    so 500 and 1000 a day lol

    had a nice gym session today, the cardio is draining me faster though. I run on the treadmill for about 10 min burning about 100 calories.

    but no significant strength loss yet

    Shoulder press is not my strength but was happy to do 80 pound dumbbells for 10 reps today

    Didn’t go to failure either. I can probably do the 90s. Happy

    gym is so empty there, the total opposite of the gyms here.

    tomorrow will complete 2 weeks of my weight loss journey. Have to say its definitely easier for me to be in a caloric deficit then surplus for a variety of reasons.

    i've had a double beans and chicken chipotle bowl a few times and im literally full for half the day, idk how tf people do it without puking

    they are delicious (i love chipotle) and are really filling. Recently tried the new chicken al pastor but honestly it just tastes like the normal chicken but drenched in their hot sauce

    whats your opinion on cheat days or cheat meals while trying to lose weight? I haven't really done any in a long time

    I see how it can be done in a surplus but not deficit

    Cheat days are meant to reward you and keep you disciplined as you are not craving that food and the diet becomes a lifestyle

    but they are not necessary if you don’t need it. Like I haven’t been doing cheat days for a while

    I used to crave them but at this point, it’s irrelevant

    but if you feel you need it, definitely take it

    sometimes I just get annoying cravings for like some gummy worms or ice cream or chicken wings, or I wanna eat a huge pizza or a chocolate bar

    and then the other thing is when i'm with people they eat whatever so they offer it to me and I don't wanna look like a douche

    im definitely not getting crazy cravings anymore but I think thats its just a matter of wanting to taste something different

    I used to care about what people thought. When I’m out, I’m still on my regimen

    I struggled for a while but I’m in a different level now when it comes to discipline. I think you’ll get there too

    for now, do the cheat meal. Plan it ahead.

    @Doogs

    regarding your shoulder press

    try to do it on a bench instead of the seat. And don’t incline it all the way to 90 degrees. Do it on the set before so it’s slightly tootles. Endlessly better for your back and neck and also better movement for the shoulder

    Never

    funny thing is I used to NEVER do leg days, especially since I have back problems.

    My belief when I was single was, by the time the girls see your legs, it’s too late :ROFLMAO:

    but then I grew up and understood it’s fundamental to body building and training :D

    I do like to train my legs too ... (they actually tone better than my arms) but I do emphasize my arms.

    I hated leg day the very first 2 weeks or so but now I love it.

    Squatting and leg press are a blast, my legs are definitely starting to grow too. However I want to do more calf raises because whenever I run I get rly bad peroneous pain to the point where it is difficult to walk, its also made soccer on the weekends nearly impossible, im hoping stronger calves will help (the area above the ankle)

    I naturally have very thick legs so idk if that made leg day easier

    Boxing is phenomenal cardio

    Hiring a personal instructor and such is the hard part

    but it’s an amazing workout for cutting up
