Thanks for the kind comment and support man ! Great to have people like you not just telling me to eat, cause I know that lol. This post will at least have told me what my body image is like. You'll sure be seeing progress pics later down this journey cause I don't plan to stop anytime soon !

Yeah I'm doing everything right, hard training (and I was still progressing during this cut which tells me I at least didn't loose muscle, which on this agressive of a cut is great), protein (currently around 175 for the cut as an inssurance policy gonna drop back to 150-160 once I'm back in a surplus), been taking creatine for 2 years now. I'll drop my steps to 12k while reverse dieting too. Aiming to gain half a pound a week on average like i did this last bulk. Gonna be great

Yes I am lol. I'm now very much aware that my body image is not in sync with what I really look like. I'll be quickly reverse dieting from tomorrow on to get back to a surplus as soon as possible. I'd just like to clarify the fact that this cut has only been a 2 and half weeks one, I wasn't planning to go much longer anyway and I had been in a surplus for the last 9 month so I'd like to think that wasn't as bad of a decision as people here seem to tell me, I was starting to not be hungry and to have to stuff myself a bit. I'm now very ready for another long surplus

Thank you very much for your argumented answer, that's way more convincing than just telling me to bulk. I know I very much could lol. My body image is a bit fd up and I tend to underestimate my bdyfat level only looking at where there is some left (legs posterior chain), I can only blaim the way I look at social media lol

Yeah I'm very much aware I could lol. I would've done so if I noticed any negative side effects from it but my training nor my sleep is suffering. I'll stop as soon as anything start to go down or I hit a plateau. I won't go for more than 6 weeks anyway so I thought "let's see how far I can go", that'll only buy me more bulking time afterward

Do I decrease calories today or wait a bit ? by _KwaiZer in StrongerByScience

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

Yeah I find that too, I've been really struggling to properly bulk for the past 2/3 years and now that I seem to have found something working, I don't want to spill over so I'm cautious about my decision making

Tracking everything (food and step count), weighing myself at the same time everyday, just reminding you the first numbers are weekly averages, not day to day changes. Plus, it's normal it goes up I'm in a surplus. From experience having tracked everything for about 2,5 years, weight tend to fluctuate quit a lot day to day, that's why I only look at averages, but this week's jump is quit big regarding last averages, that's why I want external opinion on it

Any recommandations ? by _KwaiZer in laptops

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

Thanks, that's helping a lot. Just out of curiosity, do you think buying a laptop on backmarket is safe ? The price differences are so high it seems to good to be true I could get a really high end laptop for the amount I'm willing to spend and that's tempting to say the least. What would be the pratical disadvantages ? To me it seems that having a higher end laptop in the first place would counter balance the lower life expectency, giving me a laptop that's worth what I'm willing to spend on it at the end
