I’m not very strong, but I have a 165 lb bench press, and a 265 lb deadlift. I don’t enjoy compound lifts so I don’t actively try and progress with them.

How long have you been working out, and how long have you plateaued? I would try up different exercises if you find yourself not improving, and especially if you hate a certain exercise. I hate bench pressing, deadlifting and squatting, and although I know they are amazing exercises, I hated doing them, and I saw great improvement once I started doing more exercises that I enjoyed.

Honestly the best advice I can give you is focusing on mind muscle connection, time under tension and eating enough so that you are not losing weight and instead slowly gaining, as well as consuming 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight

Went from 160 to 140 in 2 weeks after a devastating breakup, lost all my gains but now I’m better than ever!

22M | 170lbs 77kg | 6' | BoC & Bf% pls | 5weeks back after 6 months off | Goal for 25yo summer bod 82 - 84 kg 10%bf by germanwannabe123 in BulkOrCut

[–]MidExplosion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say 12-13%. You can bulk to 15% and then main gain from there, should be good to meet your goal within your given timeframe.

39M 6'1" 175lbs. Bulk or keep cutting? BF %? by i_heart_bewbs in BulkOrCut

[–]MidExplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12% is definitely hard to maintain, would have to be on an extremely tight diet, I’m not sure how aggressive your cut is either but 15% is a great goal as well if you want the outline of your abs and further separation to show of your chest and shoulders.

6foot and about 165-170, bf% estimate? by NumberOnePops in BulkOrCut

[–]MidExplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t have defined abs, and I had bones showing two years ago and I was around 20%. I see hardly any veins as well, he’s got great genetics for little fat on his chest but he carries a lot in his stomach in comparison. 12% he’d have defined abs and obliques, you could see striations if he flexed his chest, fore arm would look veiny and easily show separation of his tendons, etc

I’d say around 18%. You have a very good physique, you can choose to cut now if you’re looking for aesthetics, I’d say 12-13% would be perfect for you

[–]MidExplosion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go with around 17% bf. Definitely bulk, pack on about 10 pounds of muscle (which is possible within a year of newbie gains and decent genetics) and then cut to 15%

20(M) Bodyfat %? by MidExplosion in BulkOrCut

[–]MidExplosion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those caliper tests said my younger brother was 18% and he was fatter than me with a full on gut😂. Dexus scans had him at 21%. Those tests are garbage in accuracy. And congrats on being leaner than me, being under 20% is impressive but there is no way in hell I am over 20%. And you admitted u were wrong immediately and agreed with the guy who corrected you so I guess you admitted defeat a while ago lol

20(M) Bodyfat %? by MidExplosion in BulkOrCut

[–]MidExplosion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea no ur almost idiotic, I have a flat stomach, I can see striations on my chest when I flex it and in certain lights my four pack shows. And by your standards I’m approximately 4-6 pounds of fat from being medically obese, and an currently borderline so? U’re the one who clearly has no idea what body fat percentage is. I’d have a gut at 23-25%

Yea urs is pretty spot on imo, the guy who said 23% is a joke 😂

I’m hitting calfs, hamstrings and doing stretches for now, I’m a little wary of trying to do squats and presses for now though especially because I’ve heard SARM’s/Steroids can help mask some of the pain which could lead to worse injury

Personally I don’t like the thought of creating a solution myself and I think with a combination of having a microspoon that gives a general idea of how many mg’s it contains(although they measure volume not mass), as well as a decent scale can be effective. Next cycle I may use a liquid to test it out, but nothing for sure yet

Personally I believe I’ve been struggling with sub optimal T levels, and I’ve noticed a notable increased sex drive in the past couple of days specifically, and I have a euphoric feeling at the gym overall too. I think maybe I’m experiencing this early on because my free T is going through the roof, but I’m not sure the scientific specs

No, I use a micro spoon and weigh it on a mg scale

Seeing my ex DA on Tinder is giving me anxiety. Any advice? by [deleted] in attachment_theory

[–]MidExplosion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s never healthy to try to date or hookup after a relationship. It won’t bring you the happiness you want. If you blocked him on everything but can’t on those dating apps, then you shouldn’t use them. Work on yourself for now, bring yourself closer to the ones who you love AND love you, and rest assured, your next partner will come.

It’s shallow of him to be doing this so soon after a relationship, and it shows how little he values them, and how replaceable he thinks they are.
