The way I prefer to bulk is to base it on performance goals and not body weight.

Start a lifting program with a good plan of structured progression, 5/3/1 triumvirate is usually my go to. Eat...

I agree with the guys above and adjust your macros to maintenance and hang out there for a few months. If you lift heavy I am willing to bit you will still recomp quite a bit at maintenance at your...

You are also losing your depth past the first rep or 2 and need to ensure you are getting at least to parallel.

Your core is giving out before your legs, really work on tightening and bracing your...

You need to tighten up the whole body and especially the core. Work on getting tight whenever you first unrack the bar.

The rotation of your hands in relation to your shoulder also comes into play here. Fully pronated grip or hand position such as a bench press close the shoulder joint more and can pinch and damage...

I agree with Duracell that cardio is good for your overall health and you dont need much for good benefits. 30 mins a couple times a week and you reap all of the health benefits. It doesnt have to...

Everyone needs to find their own motivation and it can change as you continue. Vanity can work for a while but then you realize that life is basically the same at 10% bf as 15% bf. For me right now...

You should make it a 60 month challenge, everyone is looking for quick fixes but consistency is the key to success.

Carb cycling is a bit controversial as it really has minimal affect on the overall diet except for the very lean. If your calories remain consistent, your weight gain or loss will remain relatively...

Ice cream and double cheeseburgers are on my cut menu, I just make the proper allowances. Unless you have REAL allergies there's really no reason you need to avoid anything. Now if it helps you...

This so much.

High intensity should just be that, if you are doing 15 seconds intervals you need to go hard enough for 15 secs that 20 seconds would damn near be impossible. Depending on your...

First of all, great job on losing the weight so far. If your macros are dialed in you really shouldn't lose any muscle as long as you are lifting.

If your goal is body composition and general...

You can maintain cardio fitness with 2 to 3 times a week, but will struggle to progress. I agree with the philosophy of focusing/prioritizing one area while maintaining the other. Focus on your...

Pen and paper while lifting to keep it moving fast. Depending on what program I am running I will then transfer it to a spreadsheet once I get home or get some time.

If you have to cut weight for some type of competition then its fine. If not, why would you ever want to purposely want to dehydrate yourself.

No worries then, extended warm up and you should be good to go.

Make sure you do some good warm up sets and take it from there. Not sure what program you are on, but add a couple build up sets leading to your top sets and usually you will be ok by the time you...

Normal to feel it in your abs as they are working hard at supporting your whole midsection through the movement. Pull-ups and push-ups both have surprisingly good core activation.

Adding to your cardiovascular capacity is never a bad thing.

I agree to take a look at your breathing first.

Sleep is a highly personal thing and everyone has different requirements that are mainly based on genetics. Some can thrive on 6 hours and others need 10 to really recharge.

As far as sleep...
