Thanks everyone for your advice - really appreciate your comments.

It's been 3 weeks and I've been between 169.8 and 171. Fluctuating up and down. With no real loss yet a clean, strict diet.

Thanks - sounds like really good advice.

Yes I am natural - hadn't even considered that as a factor in weight loss for some reason.

I am doing a refeed Saturday so will try that and then keep...

Thanks for your responses.

I started the cut in late January. I started I think around 2300 as I have a desk job, and in the past I've found that to be a good starting point.

From 2300 I...

I'm in my 12th week of a cut, and have gone from 182 down to 170-171 roughly.

The last 3 weeks I have been stuck on 171.

I am exercising hard, doing cardio - could probably do more - however...

I've been lifting for a long time but made limited progress for various reasons.

I've just started a new programme which combines Powerlifting movements and Bodybuilding, focussing on Squats,...

I think you're right - and the days of Powerlifting OR Bodybuilding are over I think. Things have moved on since those days thankfully.

I think I will stick to 5x5 or a variation of that. I am...

Hi everyone,

I've been lifting for a long time, probably around 10 years on and off. I'm frustrated to say I've achieved nothing in that time (my own fault).

At present I am 181lbs and...

Hi everyone,

Been lifting for years but haven't made too much progress to be honest. I'm 31, and lost a about 16lbs of weight earlier in the year although have put a bit back on, but it will be...

Great advice - thanks for that. I will do as you suggest!

Thanks again

My Goal is to cut. I worked out using calculator that my BMR is 1850 calories, and another Bodybuilding.com calculator said I should be consuming between 2000-2500 calories per day. Perhaps I...

Sorry, I did think that posting macros would have been useful, should have done that in the first place!!!

Here they are:

Meal 1 - 301 calories total (15g protein / 24g carbs / 13.1g fat)

I'm 31 and a fairly experienced lifter although my problem has always been inconsistency, despite training really hard. I have made a big turn around, stopped drinking entirely, and eating very...

I'm 30 years old, been lifting for a number of years, and I used to squat once a week however recently my left knee has become an issue. There was never a time when I was training that I felt it get...

Thanks everyone. Some very helpful responses which I will respond to when I'm on computer (using phone ATM).

Just wanted to say I reverted back to Sumo Deadlift today and it felt much more...

Hey everyone,

I'm 29 years old and I've been lifting for years now although continually I get to a point and the intensity goes or something happens and I get put back a bit.

I do a lot of...

Yea that's true. The persons rationale for saying that was by going lower to the floor, you drive more with the legs and hips, and the back isn't stressed as much until the upper part of the pull. ...

I've been deadlifting on and off for years but never really done that well with it.

At present, I can deadlift about 140kg (308lbs). That's using a sumo stance. I often find I have a painful...

I'm 28, been into lifting for years and years but not progressed due to on/off attitude - that's changed now.

I've finally shifted some fat.

If I try to touch my chin to my chest, I feel a pull from my upper back, and parts of my shoulders.

No matter how much I stretch or move I can't get it to go away.

It's effecting my training...
