Spring Cutters Crew Vol 36: Beer Guts to Beer Cuts

what do you do when someone asks how much you bench?


...

Irrelevant this question is.

A long time ago at a fitness shop somewhat far far away, asked I was;

"How much can you bench?"

Reply I did; "Flat bench press I do not."

Deer in the headlights I saw.

what do you do when someone asks how much you bench?


I tell people 135 so when they see me benching 95 they think its just a speed day

Sarcasm is strong in this one!

down 4 lb these last 2 weeks. Feels slow as fck. Wish I could have some self control and stop getting so fcking fat

What is the consensus around here regarding HIIT cardio? The lowest BF I ever achieved was simply lifting and calorie reduction. I'm hoping to hear contrasting opinions.

It works and is good for overall health etc. but its not a necessity...

[WeedWizard420]

When acquiring The Shredz....rely on the reflection in the mirror more than the number on the scale.

Remember:

We tend to;
Think we have more muscle than we have and we are fatter than we think we are.

Yeah definitely.

i like LISS because i can watch shows when doing 45min-1hr sessions. hiit i'm too focused but some people like that, and it goes by faster

Same as any other type of cardio, burns calories but there's nothing magic about it.

Pros: Time efficient
Cons: Can impact recovery (especially on a deficit)

cliffs old man i dont have time to listen to 60+ minutes of garbage about cardio to try to pick out the artifacts you claim to lay inside

[cncman]

hiit too hard, rather run 30 minutes. I don't do either, just eat fewer carbs/fats making up the 200 cal difference.

cardio makes you look better when cutting, but it might just be in my head tho

[BabyOilBrah]

Got a question - even in my avi pic, there are pockets of fat left on my body. Side/lower chest, and a bunch in my upper hip/lower back.

Everywhere else is super lean.

I am lean bulking very slowly for like 6 months but am wondering - does that last bit of fat go away without extreme dieting? I imagine if I got fat it would be impossible to lose with just one cut, but if I put on next to zero fat over 6 months and some solid muscle, would it come off more easily or would I struggle no matter what?

that's almost impossible unless drugs, gaining muscle and fat in a 1:1 ratio is considered good for a natural. That said, fat gain over the period of your lean bulk will go back on in reverse order of the spots in which you lost it on your previous cut. Only dieting down further will remove those last few areas, but it isn't worth it unless you're stepping onto a BBing stage. You are plenty lean and look solid AF (no homo) in your avi.

I believe this. Cardio is catabolic. I think it does do more for your BMR than just the calories you burn during the session though. I cut on keto through the week and on sat/sun I'll eat muh carbs and booze. Actually may not now that football season is almost over

Speak for yourself. I'm up 20lbs solid muscle not an ounce of fat.



Lolololol. <3.

Go do some damn cardio and listen to it while you are doing the cardio.

Seriously, I always listen to health and fitness podcasts when I do long cardio, and out of every podcast I have ever listened to THIS one was one of the best and most useful.

I like doing LISS on uphill walking the most, otherwise when I am in prep I do a mixture of HIIT and Cardio throughout the week, usually 4 sessions of HIIT and 10 of LISS

[Elvis.Costello]

Yea I understand that some fat gain will be inevitable, but I have literally perfect macros and weigh every gram of food. I am taking this very slowly so the fat gain will be minimal.

Your statement about reverse order is not clear - the last place I lost fat was the tough spots so you're saying that's the first place it packs on? Makes sense, I noticed that from prior experience myself.

I think dieting down further is worth it because I have really bad fat distribution genetics. A white person at my bodyfat % would ne content because they don't hold fat like I do; in order for me to get lower side pec separation and separation on my lower back, I would have to diet further.

I'm just hoping these aren't truly difficult areas and that the only reason I couldn't lose them so far was because I've been burned out from cutting so long.

You look great

In a relaxed front pose, my chest looks the same as it was 15-20lbs heavier, same with my lower back.
