Plenty of people have done this in the past. It looks like the fat is only on your stomach but actually you still have it all over.

You will just be skinnier than you'd like if you get lean. Gain...

That's not really enough data to draw any conclusions. You could still be just retaining water.

It would pay to double check all your measurements and portion sizes are genuinely the same as they...

I think it's better to split squats and deadlifts to different days.

Last time I did 5 days, was FB every day:
1 Chest Legs Back Shoulders Posterior
2 Back Shoulders Posterior Chest Legs
3...

This isn't an evidence backed opinion by any means but I think you can do exactly what you say with "big" lifts like squat and deadlift. At least you can build a progression starting quite low in the...

From your avatar picture, it looks like you already have it figured out.

+1 for calorie deficit.

Yep, they are essentially doing the same thing. Just applying the pressure in different ways.

2002 thread.

I wouldn't bother personally. Some people like the feel of massagers but I don't think they do much in pure performance terms. DOMS from training is just something you have to go through. There are...

No it doesn't matter if you control your calorie intake.

It *may* have an effect on appetite and make it harder to sustain a given calorie level - but this effect is most prononounced when looking...

OK, that sounds pretty reasonable. 2k might be quite a large deficit if your TDEE turns out to be much over 2500 but if you are only working out 3x and are otherwise fairly sedentary, it should be...

What are your total calories? Remember TDEE is an estimate which is easy to get wrong. We can tell you if a given calorie levels is realistic for a typical person of your size. So we also need your...

Fear is the gains-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total atrophy.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner...

We can't tell you anything just from your breakfast.

We need total calories per day - that's what does the work - we also need protein and fat grams to check sufficiency has been met.

Trying out the 5/2 diet
- average calories should be 2100.
- TDEE 2800.
- 'fasting' days 550 cals (mostly protein powder), other days 2700 cals.

Yeah we need to know how long this plateau has lasted.

If you don't weigh yourself every day, it could just be a high reading.

It could also be water retention

Your metabolism adapts but as...

No, only if it pushes you too deeply into a calorie deficit.

It could interfere with recovery from weight training - but that just means that you would get less gain than you might have. You...

By adding more calories, you must be having more of something that is upsetting your stomach - whereas it wasn't enough to do that before. What did you increase to add calories?

I wouldn't say it was bad form - but you would be favouring a different part of the lats which might be stronger. If you are intent of focusing on the adduction movement then just do the best you can...

Could be any number of things.

Have you made recent changes to your diet?

Perhaps you need to clarify your goals. What do you want out of this?

People tend to give vague answers like "get fit" (fit for what?) or "I want to be functional" (what is the function?). You...
