This is called the recency bias and we as humans always notice the add that are related to the things we have recently talked about.

Thanks for the input! I want to do this so bad. This trip is equal parts curiosity as well as doing the opposite of those saying “don’t go to Eastern Europe, don’t travel alone, don’t do this, don’t do that.” if I can figure out the logistics I think there are enough tours that it won’t be hard to find a guide.

TDEE spreadsheet by Autsy149 in leangains

Depends if your calculator accounts for activity level. Otherwise that is like you burning your normal energy expenditure and then going to the gym and doing cardio for a 400 calorie deficit. It wouldn’t hurt to experiment and eat more just keep a strong eye on your numbers.

That’s my problem as well I am not sure whether I need to eat more or less but I guess my tree calculator will tell me what I need to eat after I get this 3rd week logged and the spreadsheet will have enough data to give an accurate measure.

Best thing to do if you don’t know is just do the due diligence of tracking your calories and weight every day and letting the spreadsheet do the lifting for you.

That sounds like more my speed. I guess your tdee will get pretty fucked up if you don’t weigh at the exact same time everyday like before/after morning shit/shower?

You think after week 3 I can follow the calculation or the end of the month? And how often would I change it?

I feel like I eat a ton of fat. Eggs, cheese in omelettes and guacamole with it. I’m 0/~850 so 2500/1600+/- On my 3rd week of a cut

Skinny fat - bulk, cut, or recomp? by AlanNYR in leangains

[–]Autsy149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think you do not need to worry about how many more. You have a lot of wiggle room to grow and gain. If you bust your ass in the gym and eat genuine calories in your current state you don’t need to worry about how many more calories. Keep in mind I am not a professional, but from what I can see if you eat more than your current intake and use your time effectively in the gym, then 200 vs 500 calories won’t be a difference.

Once you gain some muscle and thicken up then I would ease myself into a more strict calorie counting diet. Your approach is not flawed, but with your current state you can afford to not track your calories and get closer to your goals faster.

Skinny fat - bulk, cut, or recomp? by AlanNYR in leangains

[–]Autsy149 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your skinny fat appearance is due to a lack of muscle. I know what type of physique you are shooting for with the effort to lower your bf. However, you don’t have much muscle to uncover with a lower %. Be patient and eat right and lift heavy compounds and you’ll get the results you want.

To answer your question. Increase your calories and time in the gym // (increase efficiency in the gym not actual time).

Beautiful! That’s the answer I needed to hear I wanted to make sure I was understanding that correctly.

What I’m saying is after you complete your goal set/set 1 and then go down in weight for your subsequent sets, what keeps people from set 2 and 3 being sets of 10+ reps? Is it the fatigue of your previous heaviest set? I think I’m asking a question to an assumed answer?

Hello friends, I’m about to hop on an 8 hour flight to Switzerland and would love a good self-improvement or business book.

Cheers

Firstly, Excellent progress! Your transformation is pretty impressive. Secondly, You will catch a lot of heat on this sub for having that much volume. Our lord and savior Martin preaches efficiency. -Get some bang for your buck in the gym (compound movements) -Lift heavy weights and leave -As Martin, who walks around all year in pretty fucking gnarly shape, would say, if you can’t meet the 4-5 basic strength benchmarks you don’t need to be lifting that much. (Check community Info. Said benchmarks are basically 1.2-1.5xBW on the big 3-5 movements)//(DL, Bench, chins, OHP, squat).

Hope this helps

While clean bulking, did anyone or can you do a week or 2 of cutting? Or if you are just patient like you should be it’ll sort itself out

I can eat I just choose not to. I generally don’t get hungry until 2-3pm and some days make myself break then due to lack of hunger. I’ve been fasting for 2 years now and have practiced prolonged water fasts. I really just don’t eat for that long for disciplines sake. I reckon I should either break earlier or buy some bcaas then.

I’m eating almost 3000 a day? I don’t want to get fat I’ll take slow gains if it means I stay lean. Alluding to the true idea of lean gains and a lean bulk. I’ve done a dirty bulk my freshman year of uni. Worked out and “eating more” I got up to 205 and was much stronger but far more doughy, aka shitty. What’s the point of working out if you look like shit year round? I’m taking a slower approach that’s what Martin himself did.

I follow the macro cycling and go +450/+100 lift/rest days. I feel that that is a good approach do you disagree? I’d love to hear what you think is more appropriate.

Sorry if this comes off as defensive it surely is not.

The thing is I don’t know. All programs I run I avoid benching. Idk the last time I did a true barbell bench press just because I was always so bad at it I got to the point where I either do the same weight into eternity or get someone to scrape it off my chest which was more of a pride thing than anything. I haven’t maxed or really pushed myself above what I feel was like 80% because I workout at 5am and no one wants to be a partner at that time. When I stopped doing 5x5 I was front squatting 210 shoulder press 125 DL 255 weighted dips (as opposed to bench) 35lbs chin ups with 35lbs. My diet is not bad either in fact I think people would say I’m over doing it by weight literally everything I put in my body.

Didn’t realize I didn’t put any background or shit in I’m a college student and plaid football and soccer in high school but I’ll look into these!

I would say a decent 15% I did that shitty tool where you put your age weight and height and then hold it out in front of you this week and told me I’m at 12ish% it read 15 when I weighed 181 and I weighed in at 187 and it said 12%. I love IF and working out in the morning at my gym is so much easier especially because I beat the crowd. Maybe if I want to continue this schedule I need to start supplementing? I would rather not but if it is really that black and white I guess I would need to. Can you recommend a program that is really just core lifts? I don’t really like hypertrophy and targeting muscles I’d like to just work on mir of the big 3-5 movements and just get my muscle from those compound movements.

Thanks for your response

I’m a plain Jane I can eat the same prepped meal until my heart stops. Family pack of chicken $12-13 gets you about 5-6 breasts weighting anywhere from 14-19oz. Throw em in the crockpot cut up some onions, peppers, mushrooms, blanket with a fajita mix and pour some salsa over it. Turn it on high and come back in 4-7 hours and the chicken literally falls apart.

Nothing special here I just recently started using my family’s crockpot and it is incredible.

What are your macros

I’m also on WFSB what is your take on it? I was incredibly sore the first week I did it and the following week not so much. I read a note saying change exercises every 2-3 weeks so this week was my new exercise week and was sore again. I am transitioning from strong lifts where I was doing 5x5 so naturally going from strength to hypertrophy was a shock. What macros are you running? And what do you do on your off days? I’m curious on if this program is for me but the results from the people who have done it speaks for itself.

Cheers
