I also have the "skinny fat" problem. What I decided to do was to do All pro's beginner's workout (found in the workout programs forums on this site), and do a slow bulk. I recommend that you start...

I regularly fast for about 18-21 hours a day. I did a 2 day fast without trying a couple weeks ago due to being extremely busy. I was fine and wasn't starving when it came time to eat. I felt good...

It is recommended that you stay above the BMR, but the IF (1%age) calculator has me under this point on rest days for some instances. Should I do a custom setup where I can stay above BMR every day...

genetics play a role. I also tend to gain and keep fat around my stomach. For that reason I don't gain more than .5 lb a week on a bulk.

Protein tastes good. It's my favorite macro to fill lol. I'm more concerned with the healthy maximum.

Some food loses its nutritional value, other food actually becomes more bioavailable and benefits from cooking. You'd have to look up individual foods to see which ones and what vitamins it is you...

coffee, tea, or water

I do early morning IF workouts without BCAAs and I haven't noticed any changes. I don't think you need them.

I had to reset too after eating under BMR, but I didn't go nearly as low. One question...

I stalled pretty early with low numbers with the overhead press and bench, while the squat and deadlift increased at a faster rate. I deloaded and increased my calories a few times, then just...

I use an epilator. It's really painful the first time but you get used to it and your hair thins. My skin is pretty sensitive so waxing irritates it a lot. But both of those are preferable over...

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot for a couple of weeks and see if it works out.

I think I can keep the feeding window the same, but I would have to go about 6 hours without eating after I'm done...

I've finally gotten around to trying intermittent fasting. So far I love it. I don't feel hungry all the time like when I would eat every few hours.

Question though, how much does consistency in...

Yeah, I meant keep the same exercises, but alter the reps and progression to something like 3x5 linear progression. I looked into 4 day splits and found something similar to what I wanted to do in...

Thanks, but it seems too long. I don't want to have to rush through everything and injure myself in an attempt to get to work on time lol



I'll stick to wendler then.

Another idea, would it...

I've done starting strength and madcow before. I'm doing wendler now, and like it because it is 4 shorter workouts a week, which is easier for me to do in the morning. Only problem is that I know I...

You haven't mentioned your diet. Diet is more important than exercise so if your results aren't there I suggest looking at that.

Also, try to allow yourself time to rest if you're doing these...

I'm the same age and had the same problem. I did programs like starting strength that incorporate squats and my legs and booty look a lot better though. These did a few heavy sets 3 times a week. As...

So I just found a BIA scale at a thrift store and I was thinking of incorporating it in some way to monitor changes during a bulk. Yesterday I thought it was fine since the measurements compared well...

Do you get enough to drink? I tend to mistake thirst for hunger. Caffeine tends to make it worse for me since its a diuretic.

soups. Most satiating soup for me is posole.
