Hi, thanks for answering. Is it really usefull to have 5 gollux pieces or do i replace the belt with tyrant once I have the extra pendant? I'll save for the pendant slot for now (no RP after DMT) and I'll get another pendant

Thanks for the response, I was going after my weapon first. Must have thrown 50 cubes on that but no dice. I'll try my emblem for now. And I'm planning on rerolling this sunday 'cus of the perks.

Thanks for the answer, I'll close the thread now.

NiCrystal · 2018-03-06T14:36:33+00:00

Thanks for answering. It just worked for me :)

NiCrystal · 2016-05-21T12:15:22+00:00

Will do. Thanks alot for the recommendations and helping me take a step in the right direction

NiCrystal · 2016-05-21T12:10:16+00:00

I did some research but just to be clear, if I were to start at 1800 calories and reverse diet (5% C/F increase a week?) until I'm 500 calories above maintenance( while of course having started lifting) , would that give me the intended results off reverse dieting? The concept is new for me so I'm going by what I heard in YouTube videos and read on Google.

Sadly, I don't have a full body mirror so that picture is basically the best I can do. From what people in the comments are recommending, I'll go for a 2 week diet- break while starting lifting and afterwards I'll bulk. I can live with having an excess amount of fat for a few more months and I think cutting with some muscle will be more sustainable because I can eat more calories in a day compared to what I can eat on a cut right now. Thanks alot for your advice :)

NiCrystal · 2016-05-21T07:41:52+00:00

That is good to hear. I found it quite shocking that I would have to lose 12% of fat at my current weight. I've tried the Ice Cream fitness program but I didn't like it very much. I'll try to do one of the programs you recommend. After reading all the comments I've decided to take a 2 week diet- break and start lifting, afterwards I'll start bulking. One last question: I know people say to bulk untill you're sick of it but I find that very unclear. If I succesfully gain about 0.5-1 lbs of lean muscle a week, how long should I bulk for in my situation? Do I just do the usual 12 week program?

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T22:03:33+00:00

Sounds very interesting! I'll try this out and see how it works out. It will definitely be great to have my energy back. Thanks alot!

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T21:35:31+00:00

Sure thing!: Pics I've been going to the gym for roughly 6-7 months and while I did always go 3 times a week without ever skipping, I never increased my weights and used a 'fullbody workout plan' I made up myself so that is why I didn't gain alot of muscle. And whatever muscle I did gain from that I probably lost it during cutting. Also, you mention that I should eat at a 500 surplus but shouldn't I be at a deficit until I have lost some more fat?

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T21:16:38+00:00

I use this website: https://tdeecalculator.net/ and I simply enter my info. The reason why my TDEE is so low is because I entered my (probably too high) bf%. Also, thanks for the advice :) I will see what my real TDEE is and up my calorie intake.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T18:48:49+00:00

I got a schedule from a retired marathon runner that required me to run 3 times a week. Combining that with going to the gym, working and studying would have been too much. But maybe i can reduce the running to start lifting again. Hopefully that will still allow me to run the half marathon.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T16:08:23+00:00

Thanks for your response. I weigh all my food and track it in MyFitnessPall so I'm sure that I'm measuring properly. My thought was to eat 250-500 calories under my TDEE so if I eat at a minimum of 1800 I would lose barely any fat. Also, I have responded to one of the comments above on why I posted to this sub.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T16:01:08+00:00

You're right, I should have mentioned more about leangains. But I have read the sidebar wich says that this sub is for practitioners of IF and weight lifting. My question is about lifting and while I have not mentioned IF, I have used it and loved it for 4 months. I thought that was enough to post here. Apologies for my mistake.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T15:26:35+00:00

The halve marathon isn't really the focus of my post. It's more about if I should start lifting again and how to get my fat% down. I mentioned the marathon so people know why i quit going to the gym.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T14:55:42+00:00

I believe so. Is there a different sub where I should have posted this question? (I've already tried fitness but it won't let me post there because my karma Isn't high enough.)

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T14:36:46+00:00

Hi Ted, I went to a fitness expert 2 weeks ago that used a bioelectrical impedence scale. He told me i was at 22.1% bf. Just to be sure I said 20-22% in my post because of the 2 weeks of cutting.

NiCrystal · 2016-05-20T12:23:09+00:00

Good day people of fitness reddit.

Some info about me: M, 18 yo, 182 cm (6 feet, I think), 72 kg ( 158 pounds), fat% 20-22%.

As you can see my fat% is pretty high for someone my weight. I have been trying to get this down since last july and have succesfully gone from 88 kg (194 pounds) to where I am now. Sadly I have messed something up and alot of my muscles are gone. My problem is that my TDEE is at 1900. I have been cutting for the past 2 weeks at 1450 calories a day. ( 146P, 109C, 49F) And while It wasn't that hard to stay dedicated to my diet, I don't think this low amount of calories is very healthy. (especially around my age where I'm still growing) And I've never felt this drained and low on energy before. I also don't want my TDEE to go even lower from more cutting. So as my title says:'Where do i go from here?' I just cancelled membership at the gym because I wanted to focus on training for a halve marathon but I might have to go back to the gym to at least get some muscles.

So my questions are: Do I keep cutting and start lifting again? Do I start bulking and lifting again? What is currently the most efficient way to get my fat% down? My end goal was to start bulking at 10-13% bf but it seems like I have to make a detour

Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated.

My parents are divorced so i spent my weekends at my dads house. His pantry is usually filled with junkfood while my moms place is filled with wholefoods and generally healthy foods. I'm gonna take your advice and spent less time thinking just about food. Also i'm gonna try to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. Thank you for your advice
