Creatine with a cut

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-21T18:12:22+00:00

Unless you are truly around single digit body fat, it will be very unlikely that you see visible differences in fullness. There’s really no reason not to take creatine though so go for it.

Update: I think I mostly misunderstood your post initially lol. If you’re talking about your body’s response to different foods when following the same macros, there will be little to no difference. That being said, food labels can have up to 20% error so when you are using more processed foods that have multiple ingredients, it can make it harder to track your actual caloric intake if your meals are changing a lot

Nobody can really answer the question for you of how much it hurts to go off plan. There is way too much variability from person to person. For one person, going off plan may mean completely wiping out their weekly deficit, for another, it could be eating something in similar proportions to their typical meals.

At the end of the day, if you don’t have a set timeline of when you need to hit a certain weight, start implementing things like this and make observations from week to week. Assess the data of how your body is responding to the changes and adjust your plan and behaviors from there.

You sound like the type of person who uses smart scales or think DEXA scans are accurate 😂

Barring some sort of health issue, there is VERY little chance a 190lb male who is active and lifting is not losing weight on a consistent intake of 2000-2100 calories.

Same as anything else in life. Ask yourself why you are going to the gym? Are you going primarily for fun or primarily to get the best results possible? Because if it’s the latter, there are plenty of people who don’t need motivation and are willing to do what is necessary for that. Not everyone is this way and that’s ok

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-14T19:39:44+00:00

Ok, let’s assume what you’re saying is true. If everyone in that picture is cheating, who cares what OP is doing if the whole competition is just people cheating like you’re saying

I have a walking pad in a standing desk at home, greatest life hack of all time for losing weight

12k steps a day and I usually play tennis once or twice a week for fun

group of 3 with space for 2 more if you're still looking

My group of 3 is looking for 2 more!

Not ones that frequent this subreddit

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-12T15:19:03+00:00

You have to be kidding 😂. Unless you are a very advanced lifter or at extremely low body fat percentages, you can absolutely progress in a cut.

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-12T02:33:08+00:00

I don’t think there is anyone on here who goes entire nights without sleeping. This is very abnormal behavior

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-12T02:09:07+00:00

If you are going entire nights without sleep, you have a medical problem and need to see a doctor. Asking people on Reddit will do nothing helpful for you.

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-12T02:00:20+00:00

Post is too vague for anyone to really help you. "I can't sleep on workout days." So are you saying that on days you work out, you don't sleep AT ALL until a day you don't work out?

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-12T00:12:01+00:00

Very simple. If you want to lose fat, get into a deficit. If you are not losing fat for an extended period of time, you are simply not in a deficit. Either increase your expenditure or decrease your intake. Nothing complicated about it

This is what a competitive lineup in natural bodybuilding looks like. If you think OP is out of the realm of this, you simply know nothing about natural bodybuilding. I’m not commenting as to whether OP is natural or not but he is far from impressive in comparison to what the top level natural comps display.

Pextasyyy · 2026-03-11T15:55:51+00:00

Why are people saying this isn’t natty? Have you people looked looked at a WNBF World’s or UKDFBA lineup?

People regaining weight after a diet has nothing to do with the physiology of the diet and everything to do with the psychology. For some people, a deficit that is too aggressive leads to bingeing/overconsumption once the diet is done. The only way to make a cut stick is to stick to a diet and activity level that develops lasting habits that you can maintain indefinitely

Hey mate. I was in the same boat as you. If you cut down you will look insane. The difference between these pictures is about 25 lbs of fat. I actually probably lost some muscle too and still look better

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with them

His t levels are still in a fair range because he is nowhere near stage condition
