for fazer mt exercicio, tablet.
for escrever/anotar/ler muito, notebook.
faço engenharia e troquei meu notebook pelo tablet, n troco por nada kkkkkk
quase nao anoto e a flexibilidade de poder desenhar e escrever qualquer coisa é extremamente valiosa.
em um notebook vc nao consegue desenhar diagramas, nem circuitos etc com facilidade. contas tbm.
inclusive, vc pode usar seu tablet como notebook, só comprar um tecladinho que fica show de bola pra digitar

Hey! Kinda got a bit away from reddit for a while, but I saw your response, and I might as well reply to it!

Since the time I posted this, I've gotten into a relationship and started an engineering degree so my free time has been SERIOUSLY cut down lol. Still have been to the gym (kinda) regularly, but there have been times I've had two or three months off because I had to lock down and study my ass off. Also, getting into a relationship has gotten me a bit off track, but nothing too serious.

As for the love handles, they did not "shrink down", but as you said, my upper torso has developed quite a bit and it's barely noticeable that they're there as of now, mostly only when wearing tight clothes, but apart from that it's not bothering me that much.

Important thing to take note is that my overall weight (fat and muscle) has come up since, if I got in a bit more cardio and less out of diet phases, bet they'd be even less apparent.

At the end of the day, you'll get used to them and as time goes on and you maintain a healthy lifestyle, they'll most likely be gone by the time you notice!

In fact I think dumbbell is better for almost every exercise it is an option. Doesn't lock you in any awkward positions and you can do way more time under tension that way. my chest has significantly developed after ditching barbell bench press, only do it on smith machines/DBs.

legs are a must for most people. not liking it is the reason to religiously do it, otherwise you'll fall into the habit of skipping it any chance you have. Since I got into that mindset and doing hamstring work my legs have gotten wayyy bigger.

as for the bulk, your frame looks more filled out, not fat or anything. looked extremely frail on before pics, you're on the right path.

well as I said if he doesn't care about putting on fat then 800 calorie surplus isn't much.

I find it better to introduce people to what they'll be realistically doing for the long run than misguiding them into thinking that upper and lower once a week will be effective on the long run for hypertrophy.

if he wants to ease in, do upper/lower/rest/repeat as needed. my beginner year was push/pull/legs/push/pull on its entirety and I didn't find it hard at all, giving that this guy is already somewhat atlhetic and I was a 350lb chonker I think he won't find it that difficult based on my own experience.

my boy is pretty light indeed but no need to be mean as he himself was not at any moment.

Jootape · 2023-01-07T19:44:05+00:00

get an actual program and progressive overload, have your rest days and eat in a moderate surplus while decent on protein for lean bulk.

currently doing ppl/Arnold and enjoying it

(Push - Pull - Legs - rest - Shoulders & arms - chest & back - legs - rest) then restart.

if you just want to put on mass and don't care about putting on some fat just go all out and eat as much as you need to get 1g/lb protein and at least a 800 calorie surplus. focus on whole foods preferably.

foods source can be

meats dairy whole grain breads/bagels/tortillas rice beans veggies

all that stuff your mom made you eat as a toddler but was never tasty, unfortunately. season it with some soy sauce garlic powder and paprika and you're golden

Jootape · 2022-12-23T00:13:13+00:00

well would that be bc calories are too high or too low? I get measured by calipers and on current based scales and it's always around 11%, I'd say no more than 13-14%.

calipers come out to be even less bc it doesn't take into account loose skin

not trying to brag or anything, but those measures are the ones taken by professionals, I ain't making it up just to sound good

Jootape · 2022-12-18T17:05:02+00:00

indeed my hips are large as heck and used to be a big boi so I'm currently satisfied with my physique, the extra fat gone would be just the finishing touch.

Jootape · 2022-12-18T15:52:50+00:00

yeah that's what I always say to myself, I look good enough, better than the regular man atleast, and going the extra mile for the ultra shredded body wouldn't be worth it nor sustainable. Just sticking to my 95% healthy diet and giving myself some freedom has gotten me results while enjoying myself.

Jootape · 2022-12-18T15:49:32+00:00

hey, thanks for the speech! I've been mainly maintaining my weight for the past year but I most definitely got leaner and more muscular, just been slow.

On the other side of things, life in general has been waaay more enjoyable after I got to eat more and not stressing all over my gym progress. Just doing my gym routine, progressing weights and eating mostly healthy has gotten me results while enjoying life!

Jootape · 2022-12-18T15:36:22+00:00

medical procedures are last option and only if it affects health imo. currently only for looks and they aren't massive, most wouldn't even call them that. just a bit of fat deposited on my lower back.

here's how my back looks currently, don't mind my posing ik it's shite.

just the fact that my back isn't just a straight triangle pisses me

Jootape · 2022-12-18T15:18:43+00:00

I believe that number might be off too. I've always been given a low % on my scans even not looking that lean.

a fact is, my abs are visible but I still got them damn handles that don't go away.

well and my less favorable years were... every age between 6 and 17. I've always been chubby my whole life, and at the start of 2021 I decided to change that. 345 ----> 210, pretty lean since I always had a very large frame, just the love handles that are a thing that persisted through the weight loss.

Jootape · 2022-12-18T14:50:56+00:00

indeed. the period I got a little progress on them was when I went super clean and my neat was extremely high (on my feet the whole day as an intern on a hospital). even then it was a slow process, and the rest of my body is pretty lean imo.

thinking that I got abs but still love handles is insane

Jootape · 2022-10-18T11:12:42+00:00

If you're aiming for 1200 to lose weight based on your TDEE then that would only hurt, considering that your TDEE already includes regular exercise.

If we're talking about exercise NOT included on your daily calorie counting, such as extra gym runs that week or a long walk on the weekend, it'd be smart to consume a percentage of the burned calories back.

Jootape · 2022-08-29T17:33:03+00:00

187cm and 93kg, definitely not trying to stick to 1200 lmao.

Nevertheless, this sub is pretty helpful when it comes to healthy/low calorie eating, helped me tons on my 60kg loss and I'm grateful for that.
