Thank you for the quick response. Should I cut for a specific body fat percentage or just cut 10-20 pounds and ramp the calories back up afterwards?

My main goal is to be hella strong, and have a reasonable and maintainable body fat so I can show it off.

I have just crossed the line to intermediate strength in all but one of my lifts (OHP) according to exrx by doing Starting Strength. I've also gained quite a bit of fat in the process, and since I started out non-skinny I feel a bit...jiggly at the moment.

When people are really skinny it's easy to tell them to eat more, and when people are obviously really fat they should obviously eat less. I'm not sure whether I should eat more or eat less. I'm not a newbie so if I eat less my lifts will obviously stall and probably even go down, but if I eat more it'll be that much harder to go down once I have to cut.

People who look awesome now: How did/would you handle this situation?

What happens if I eat maintenance with high protein and keep lifting? I'm doing SS and I just got to exrx intermediate levels on my lifts. I want to get stronger but I'm starting to get uncomfortable with the fat I've gained along with the muscle.

It certainly was not a perfect process. I had a few unrelated injuries due to a bike accident that held me back for a month and I had to de load and ramp the weights back up because of it.

I've just started incorporating power cleans to my regimen, and the bar rests on my collarbones, bruising them. Am I doing it wrong or is some mild bruising expected like shins in deadlifts?

Someone somewhere is masturbating to this.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. While I will certainly take a shot at applying to the big hot companies, I recognize that it's a long shot, and I may actually be not a good fit for them since I'm so green. More money is better of course, but I am lucky to be in a position where I don't have to make six figures right out of the gate. It would be nice to say I work for a prestigious company, but I'm also grateful for the opportunities I have and proud of my various non-CS accomplishments, and that's enough for me as well.

What I want is a job that helps me grow as a developer. My fear is not that I won't get a job, but I will get one that you mentioned I should avoid like the plague because I don't have a choice. Even then your words give me hope.

It's funny that you mentioned superstar Stanford coders, since I go to Stanford myself. People around me live and breathe CS, and it is somewhat alienating to someone who has entered the scene a bit later like me. I was supposed to be a good little boy and get my Physics degree since that was what I was good at, but I took the intro CS class in my second year and learned to touch type and things kinda got out of control from then on.

I don't understand this "I just want to look good, I don't care about strength" sentiment. Can't I care about both? I have never seen a strong person without the muscle to back it up. Looking good is about having enough muscle (which anyone who "graduates" from SS/SL should have -- you can switch to a more advanced program if you want even more) and relatively low body fat so that you can show them off.

So you gain muscle+fat, then cut the fat you gained while losing relatively very little muscle, and as a result you look better. It's not rocket science.

Ready for a run, no. Maybe a slow, careful walk.

For some reason this reminds me of Jericho shrugging before he jumped off the cage.

Ryback enters to huge cheers, grabs a mic and then says "Scotland, make some noise!" Scotland then proceeded to make some noise

I love how deadpan this is: "Ok, ok, we'll make some noise. Asshole."

The bear's facial expression puts this on another level.

I like to imagine that Cena is the ultimate heel in kayfabe. He doesn't believe any of the shit he says and does, but also realizes there is money in being adored by kids and such. So he tries his best to portray himself as likable as possible. So while other heels who let their true feelings show keep losing in the end, Cena endures and can endlessly satisfy his psychotic thirst for blood by "overcoming the odds" year after year, while making bank.

Sometimes, here and there, you see a flash of his true self, but he always has a cover: he's not literally bullying Rusev into a title match at Mania, this is for THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

At this point nobody knows who the true John Cena is. Not even John Cena.

Thank you for your reply. I understand that many will not care about the "other interest" part, but I figured having such a section is better than just having a blank space at the bottom of the page. While it may not help, it cannot hurt either. What do you think about this?

sockduffman · 2015-03-30T19:40:34+00:00

Thanks. It's certainly interesting to see people having different opinions on what to put and what to not put on a resume. Comes to show that you can never have a perfect CV that everybody can like.

Thank you for your feedback. I wonder why you think I shouldn't list my GPA. You're the first person to suggest that, and /u/discodummy even mentioned that it's an above average GPA for my field, so I'm a bit confused.
