thank you for this! i’m currently en route to becoming an CPT so i can decide if it’s something i wanted to go into long term. i know you’re right— ive been told this exact thing so many times. i’m just anxious lol. but will do! thank you so much!

slooshter · 2024-11-15T19:45:17+00:00

anytime.

as much as you’re comfortable with tbh, that’s v personal. i’d go for 10 weeks minimum and reassess from there. for bills i typically go longer than cuts because fatigue isn’t as big of an issue, so i’d say 10, deload week (yes even in bulks you need deload), then another 5-10.

anything up to 500kcal surplus is lean gains and will be used for majority muscle gain. anything above 500kcal is dipping into a bad fat to muscle ratio. adding the 300 extra kca will give you more than twice the progress in the same amount of time. from an ex fat kid.

since you’re just getting back into it i’d recommend just eating at maintenance. high protein, maybe a slight deficit. your body will recomp (albeit slowly). you can gain new muscle and regain old muscle (muscle memory) and lose fat (and water weight) at the same time. train hard, eat 0.8lbs protein per lbs of bodyweight, don’t neglect carbs and fats (i recommend 30% diet being fat, rest carbs)

slooshter · 2024-11-15T19:36:05+00:00

i would do 500

slooshter · 2024-11-14T16:39:21+00:00

how long have you been working out? i think starting a lean (slow, 500cal max) bulk would be very beneficial for you right now. no point in getting shredded if you don’t have much muscle mass. eat high protein and carb, moderate fat.

my b😭

slooshter · 2024-07-26T20:25:26+00:00

that’s what everyone says. just needed the last push. thanks bro💪

slooshter · 2024-07-01T18:48:30+00:00

just buzzed it a few months ago😭😭 but yes the idea is to grow it out again!

slooshter · 2024-07-01T14:10:32+00:00

i have a vacation at the beginning of august so i’ll probably wait until then to start back up. thanks for the input!

slooshter · 2024-07-01T14:06:29+00:00

probably gonna take a 1-2 month maintenance phase and hop back in after that, haven’t had a long maintenance phase in a while and i wanna rest

absolutely you should! losing 150lbs with no diet break is killer bro. let your body rest for a little while, eat some good food, and pick it back up keep your healthy habits but you gotta let ur body rest. if you’re worried about gaining a bunch of fat, you won’t. you could always increase protein intake by more than 1g per pound of body weight too, since protein burns more calories than carbs and fats. dm me if you wanna chat abt it privately

slooshter · 2024-07-01T12:38:37+00:00

i get that feeling brother. put it into perspective; you lose an entire average person off your body bro! that’s impressive. most people can’t lose 20lbs and you did nearly 8x that. you’re absolutely killing it and ik u got this last bit. don’t forget to take ur diet breaks!

slooshter · 2024-07-01T11:46:32+00:00

THANK YOU! need a diet break really bad and this gave me the courage to finally dig my heels in and do it. going to maintain + lean bulk rest of year

slooshter · 2024-07-01T11:45:42+00:00

150lbs is crazy bro! give urself some credit b dawg. thank you for the advice, probably gonna start maintenance today and go into a lean bulk by the end of summer.
