5 Secrets we don't want you to know about Losing Fat <<<{(LF CHAT)})>>>

Maybe, IDK I just assumed it would be friday

I'm pretty much just looking right now...that's what I always do before I buy something. Didn't plan on getting them right this minute...was thinking Thursday because most places start Black Friday deals Thursday night.

%100 pure powder my ais. 100% pure grit is more like it...all @ the bottom of the glass....

hahaha its so true, but it's so cheap i just deal with it. i just put it in an empty talenti container and keep shaking as a go, sometimes top it off with more water to dissolve that last bit.

I do mine with morning protons in my blender ball cup, helps it stay mixed in long enough to drink, and a swish/swirl at the end to finish it off works the best.

Isn't the lf chat 3-month accountability thread due for our progress pics in a couple of days?

Yep. Today or tomorrow I think. BRB dehydrating.

[Ammex]

Someone offer me an explanation. The least accurate and more hilarious the better.

I bulk. My legs grow a ton. My endurance has gone to chit. Insanity kills me. Yoga kills me. Plyo kills me. Long runs kill me.

All that stuff used to be a joke.

Funny...serp just recommended same exact brand to me . Think I'll go with it since it's so much cheaper than others...

You used to be skinny and light as fuk and now you have aesthetic weight slowing you down?

I wasn't really in at the start of the accountability thread but I'm going to add my progress pics. Because I am pretty much done cutting. I keep telling myself just a couple more weeks but I'm about ready to start putting on some mass.

alright imma give you a completely un-scientific broscience answer, and i have no research to back it up other than "i read it somewhere." but.. i read somewhere.. that there are two kinds of muscle fiber. fast twitch and slow twitch or something like that. one produces strength, one produces endurance. which is why sprinters have huge legs and marathoners have skinny legs. so it probably has something to do with this. like you've grown the strength fibers at the cost of endurance fibers or something. i don't know any of the technical terms and i'm not gonna make it sound like i know what im talking about any more than i actually do, but hopefully this gives you a basis for some healthy googling.

[Ammex]

I wasn't that much lighter than I am now, and added more muscle. I never expected such a drastic change in my endurance. I'm sure there is a legit explanation, I'm just not sure what. It could be my drastic change in calories too. Lack of glycogen in comparison maybe. I'm at about 20% of the carbs I have been for the last few months.

Hells yeah you are. You really slimmed down since August! Nice work.

This thought definitely crossed my mind, but it was only like 3.5 months. Didn't think anything to do with muscle fibre would change so quickly.

I'm back into the endurance stuff - kinda, so hopefully it will come back. Instead of 3-5 squats ill be pulling 10-15, running lots, and doing Plyo. Hopefully it comes back quick.

[cunfewzed]

I think it's carb intake. cut to 20% of what you're used to. it's bound to have an effect on your energy level, hence, you feel like total chit on long runs. makes sense.

[Hummina]

so i have another two weeks of being a lazyass before i can get back into the gym again. im officially going crazy! entertain me LF chat thread!

So apparently those big ass mofos that always say just eat food and lift heavy know what they are talking about.

brb, leveling up.

Thanks very much brah My primary goal was to prove myself that I could lose weight... because I've tried and failed so many times before. Second goal was to see my abs... because I've never seen them in my life. I pretty much have a fuzzy 4-pack right now which has satisfied my desire. No real need to cut much more as I don't have much mass to show off.

Edit: I'm really glad I'm not lactose intolerant as about 2/3 of my calories today have come from milk, yogurt and ice cream.

it's true man, i think a lot of us in this forum are too scared to bulk properly and really fukc ourselves over with this bulking on 2500cals bs. hopefully i'm right about my hunch, and hopefully i don't get too fat. brb reporting back in 3 months.

I'm not a bodybuilder. I have no interest in just looking big for the sake of looking big. I'm more of an athlete.

[BradKemp]

Bulk starting to pay off for sure.

I'm bulking on around 4000 right now. I've gained a bit of fat but whatever.

I here yah. I want to look athletic but not like someone that can run 40k.

And they look like crap. Who cares if you can bench 350 if you are bearmode (who in public you cant even tell that they lift). Being lean with slow steady progress is the way to go, and how you look is more important than getting big lifts which WILL come with time and patience.
Cutting sucks, i spent a year of my life doing that, keeping the surplus moderate so you gain fat very slowly is the way to go since you WILL have good lifts if you dont quit.
If you bulked for a year at half a pound a week vs 1 lb, thats only 26 vs 52 lbs.
Id rather have girls check out my vascularity and visible muscle insertions that be a fatass again.

[Serpentarius]

click. How can you say no to this face?

I've seen elite marathoners that are JACKED. BRB sprinting a half-marathon. And I ran halfs just for fun, didn't look like a skinny runner. My marathon training is only distance like once every 7-10 days. Other that that I'd keep it at like 10k or less.

but you have to admit there's a HUGE difference in dropping 100lbs vs dropping like 15-20lbs. we're talking apples to oranges.

The psychological part of it when you are not overweight is hard because hunger and hormones are now into play, at my heaviest when weight was flying off eating like 1600 from the start i wasnt even hungry and food was non issue. My last cut i was incredibly hungry and when there is something on the line (built up strength) that you have to watch out for you have to do it even slower as to not undo the damage.
If a noob has no gains to lose they wont lose anything so its easy to just yank calories, but not so much when you are in single digit territory where every calorie counts and you are fighting off hunger pangs :|

[BradKemp]

Brad at the end of his bulk...

lol I'm only 195 pounds at 6'1. I'm practically a skinny emo *******.

[Ammex]

ITT: Serp is scared to bulk because of unresolved psychological issues, pushed his unfounded beliefs on others, and complains about not gaining weight.
