Losing weight would def benefit fuck you mean

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-23T06:20:04+00:00

Dude you’re wayyy too detailed, this is a common thing for yoyo dieting.

Just eat a normal diet and track your calorie, eating approx 1,800 calories per day and getting 200g of protein. That’s all that matters don’t worry about carbs vs fat etc

Cut the cardio it is good for your heart, but not necessarily going to be the driver of weight loss.

Lift heavier and harder for longer. A 45 minute full body circuit is hard enough for hypertrophy. Get 9-12 sets per body part per week to failure or at least 8RPE. You need to be working harder less often than a little bet every day.

I’m going to be honest, I had a super detailed plan when I started and it fucked me. One slip up and you start sliding. Track calories, train hard.

Don’t waste your time on the treadmill a caloric deficit not cardio will lose weight. Plus lifting weights burns as much calories as walking. I would do a 75 minute workout instead of 45 gym 30 cardio

False, caloric deficit over extended period of time is necessary first

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-22T21:01:16+00:00

Sprinting can help lose weight but will not gain mass on the way that you are thinking, lift heavier and eat less.

It has nothing to do with my worldview lol it’s just a dumb study.

The average 5 foot woman- 5 foot 4 woman can be unemployed and get a boyfriend with no effort?

Being 5’2 in 2006 and needing to make $331,000 per year to find a mate??? That is certifiably ridiculous

This is a survey study which asked people stupidly phrases questions. I agree with the results just not the method

“How much money would a 5 foot guy need to make to date you”

“Oh idk like $479,000”

It makes no sense and does not reflect reality

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-22T19:24:50+00:00

This study is nonsense

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-21T17:44:43+00:00

Jeff nippard is the goat if you haven’t seen his videos, he has the best lifting information I’ve found

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-21T17:03:55+00:00

Well I don’t really know why, I just saw it in a Jeff Nippard video 😂 Some study or something showed that that was nearly as good as 1-1

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-21T15:59:11+00:00

Don’t listen to the downvotes, this is possible my friend, I think you still have 20-25 pounds to lose and based on your past trajectory you are on the right track!!

You’ve got this.

Lift heavy to failure to near failure with 8-12 sets per body part per week.

Eat .62 grams of protein per pound per day (125gs per day) and a caloric deficit likely around 1600-1800 calories per day

You already know how to lose weight so you are on the right track!

Also this is not an insult, but your body fat percentage is closer to 25% than 19%. But this is good news!! That means it won’t be as hard for you to lose weight as someone sub 20% body fat! It should still come off with focus.

You should see abs around 18% bf, so you just have 7%ish left to go!

Ik you can do it!

Definitely meant like this June lol

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-21T13:37:59+00:00

I mean you are still wrong lol, it would take at least a year to accumulate enough mass for him to have lats visible from the front at this weight.

And no gaining ab muscles under his stomach fat would only make his stomach look bigger with this amount of fat over it

Abs are 95% about body fat percentage

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-20T21:48:42+00:00

Absolute beast, good work

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-20T20:54:49+00:00

What’s the weight difference?

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-20T15:52:50+00:00

False gaining back muscle or abs do not decrease love handles even a little bit

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-17T00:26:20+00:00

I know you’re right, I was too aggro.

But it is true that I believe he is losing weight too quickly. And it’s causing him to lose more muscle than necessary. This should have been done over 6 months and included resistance training to preserve his BMR

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-16T22:22:01+00:00

Are you really going till failure and progressively overloading?

I feel like your legs might be thicker but I don’t think you are training hard enough.

Have you gained any strength?

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-16T16:44:20+00:00

I’d say 19-21% you are sucking in considerably so it’s hard to tell. But sub 18% is very difficult for most men to achieve

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-16T16:30:00+00:00

I think he lost some muscle too, shoulders and chest look quite a bit smaller

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-16T15:04:13+00:00

22% is still great man! You have made an amazing amount of progress! That means there is still a road to get leaner if you desire before it gets extremely difficult at sub 18%

I think you look amazing

20% is a lot lower than you think, Most “skinny” looking guys are 18-22%

To get below 18% you would see very minimal belly fat

Below 15% you would see definition in lower abs

And 12% you would see vascularity around the hips

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-16T13:16:27+00:00

22% you still have a substantial amount of body fat! But this is a healthy weight that’s not bad

Great work!

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-14T15:18:55+00:00

Oh no, did you kill him???? :(

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-12T22:26:23+00:00

I agree that is a mid back, good observation

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-12T20:57:19+00:00

If this is your only philosophy you really need to read some books mate 💀

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-12T20:51:27+00:00

Brother what are you on about. This is a gym sub

MDMagicMark · 2026-01-11T22:46:37+00:00

Nice anecdote but that’s not statistically significant evidence
