Thank`s for the reply! I`ll consider a very slight surplus.

My overall plan is to maintain my weight for 4-8 weeks whilst using Stronglifts to primarily increase strength. Then go back to a cut...

I cant find the exact podcast, but from what I recall he advocates higher volume/hypertrophy style training during a cutting phase to maintain muscle and during a bulking phase to increase muscle.

I`ve just finished a cut and now I`m looking to maintain my weight for a while.

I like following the works of Mike Israetel who from what I gather suggests strength programmes during maintenance...

Cheers, guess i`ll continue my cut and see where i`m at in a months time. I feel fine cutting, just want some strength gains already!

Currently 133lb at 167cm

I`ve been cutting for the last 12 weeks now and wondering whether its time for a slow reverse diet followed by lean bulk.

Not sure whether I should maybe cut for another 4-6 weeks? I want to lean...

You definitely need a lot more muscle on you, any more fat you lose will just give you the skinny/"skinny fat" look. I reccomend bulking but weigh yourself regularly to calculate an average weekly...

I tend to always have less fat on my arms, legs and face but it all gathers on my lower belly so I can`t use the standard pictures on google to guestimate.

What are your guys thoughts on my body...

Previous week stats: 145.7lb, BF% 20.14% (average over the week).

Lost 2.3lb over the last week, current stats: 143.4lb, BF%:19.42%, Waist size 34.1inch

Raising calories to 2000-2100. New...

Just to reduce total time training, is it OK if I superset between some exercises for example on upper day:

Do bench press for one set
Minute break
Barbell row
Minute break
Bench press 2nd...

I`ve been cutting for the last 4 weeks, weighing myself daily and calculating a weekly average. I was on holiday at my parents house for the first 3 weeks and didnt have access to any kitchen scales...

I've got a good amount of newbie gains but still a good chunk of my belly fat from being skinny fat (19% bf).

How would I go about doing a recomp? I'm currently cutting trying to get to 13/14% bf...

Doing my 12 rep max deadlift with focus on perfect form each time and really contracting your muscles gets my heart racing faster than a lot of cardio!

After a couple of years of going on and off bulking and cutting being skinny fat and never dedicating myself properly to either, I thought i`d start off with a cut.

Previously, i`ve dropped down...

Sure, just remember that all the youtuber`s and social media fitness people you see have been at it for many years, not just months.

Maybe try to get yourself to a really good lean level of 10/12%...

Personally at 1500 with your exercise level, weight and height, you`ve went in a bit too hard. From personal experience, whenever I`ve went in hard to drop calories fast, YES its showed great results...

You`ve went far too agressive mate. I used to start my cuts off at 1500 calories with daily morning 3-5k jogs as well as gym sessions then reduce to 1200 calories and **** tonnes of running to the...

Yeah you`re right. I`ll put a bit more of conscious decision to add some fats like olive oil!
