1lb per week seems to be the generally recommended rate of weight gain on a bulk.
But is this too much considering that im only 5'6'' tall?
I started lifting 4 weeks ago, and I've been gaining...

Thanks a lot guys. I didn't expect to get this many replies.
I'll start off eating at 2100kcal per day (which is around 10% above my TEE) and see if I can gain around 2lb of weight per month.

Hi guys,

My current stats are:
Age: 21
Height: 5'6
Body weight: 122.6lb
bf%: 15.4% (I used Accu-Measure Fitness 3000 Personal Body Fat Tester)

I've also uploaded my picture below.

I already posted this in the bf% estimate thread but re-posting it here since the thread seems very inactive lately.

I'm 20 years old, 5.6ft tall. I'm currently cutting now and the pictures below are:

126lb: When I started working out (I didn't think of measuring my bf% at that stage)
151.2lb: After 3 months...

1. Can i recalculate my 10 rep max in the middle of a cycle?
Today was my medium day of week 3, 1st cycle. From the start of the cycle til now, I managed to complete all the required reps for all...

Yeah that was exactly what i was asking, except I was just mentioning that the formula probably overestimated my initial weight (and hence body fat in pounds) since it doesn't take into account of...

151.2lb x (1-0.223)= 151.2lb x 0.777=117.5 lb
141.6lb x (1-0.189) = 141.6 X 0.811 = 114.8 lb

You made a mistake while calculating my final LBM. I actually lost some LBM, which could be muscle....

How I measure how much fat I lost over a period of cutting is: initial body weight x initial bf% - final body weight x final bf%. But I also have to take into account of water loss. I lost 9.6 lb...

Hi All Pro, I've been cutting with your routine and it's been great. I just have three questions to ask you:

1. Can i recalculate my 10 rep max in the middle of a cycle?
Today was my medium day...

Thanks for your considerate response. Could you also give me some advice on tracking my progress? How I measure how much fat I lost over a period of cutting is: initial body weight x initial bf% -...

If i'm maintaining my strength during cutting, does that necessarily mean
I'm maintaining my muscle mass?


I've been cutting for 6 weeks now and went from 151.2 lb (22.3% bf) to 141lb (18.9%...

Thanks.

I dislocated my left shoulder about 2 years ago, so my left arm isn't very flexible. But as long as I put my elbows slightly in front of my torso, shoulder press has been fine.

I recently started...

Yeah my calories are low and I wish I can eat more carbs but my TDEE is 2000kcal (based on IIFYM calculator)

and so i need to eat under 1250kcal to be on 750 caloric deficit on a daily basis.

For both bulking and cutting, if you've satisfied the recommended protein and fat intake, does it matter where the rest of the calories are coming from?

By recommended protein and fat intake I...

Height: 5.6 ft
Weight: 143.4lb
BF%: 20.2%
Activity level: 3 to 4 times a week (I workout on every non-consecutive day following All pro's simple beginner routine)
TDEE: 2049 kcal (I used the...

Lol i dunno why but i find your typo so funny

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but could you explain why this is so? So I've seen lots of proponents of Keto diet claiming that fat burn is improved since your body's main source of energy...

Hey guys, thanks again for your replies. I'm starting my first cycle tomorrow.
Just on a side, I was hoping if you guys could provide me with some insights into some topics I've always been curious...
