I always take a protein shake immediately post, then an hour later the rest of my lunch, a 400 to 450 calorie meal with 40 more protein and 40 to 50 carbs, 9 to 15g of fat. My post is my largest meal...

I get it. I heard that from all but one in this thread. I was posting about my progress in the past month, that's all. Im not angling to cut right now. I've made a lot of strength progress. Changed...

To fuel. Here's my one month before and after.

I'm lifting heavy now on a new routine and I can now do 4 to 6 unassisted good form pullups.

I hoped the additional 400 would be better for my lifts than just 200 a day. Several days a week I wouldn't lift. Maybe it makes little difference anyways that was just the thought.

Thanks. I took an in between approach. On my lifting days, I eat 300-400 more calories which I use for my lifts. My routine is brand new and I train with a gym friend who I made about a month back. I...

Sometimes you fall back due to injury or life and I had to climb back to where I was last year. This is just a good hip check to remind me I'm at that point. Im 4 pounds heavier than then to boot I...

I'll make some adjustments to lean gain. In person I look and feel more muscular and this flab covers but the message helps me make necessary adjustments. Thank you

I'm okay just leaning out more keeping six pack aside.
I had in previous years done tons of abs work including throwdows but have to start again ,(and have).

I have to post again to be able to attach pics apparently

I'm about 19 percent bf

I've got decent muscle too. I'm thin frame but no Sixpack, love handles still present.

I was wondering where to fix to get leaner. I weight train about 4 times per week, long walks the other two days, one day off the gym. I'm 5 foot 5, age 41, 133 lbs. I'm consuming 1450 calories per...

Since May 29th I've gained 2 lbs.
Now at 131 lbs 5 foot 5.
Hopefully- a good bit of it had been muscle?
I definitely shifted to a clean gains mode based on advice given here.
Ive gotten a lot...

This is why I suggested going for mass building instead of cutting further. I think that you will be able to "recomp" your way into a better body composition in that way and not have to keep...

Perhaps I'm just asking too close apart at monthly intervals. Because it seems like I'm losing even still, but the assessments don't change. And this is where my frustration probably lies. Or perhaps...

I trust your judgement but..the dude in the 17-18 range here though. His arms look like play dough. Make mine look ripped by comparison. Especially in person..by their sides taking pictures not as...

Here's the updated pic with just a mild midsection flex.

I had back surgery last summer to replace a cervical disc. So I'm kind of a comeback kid. A trainer at my gym was surprised I'd even be able to lift again afterwards.

I'm not sure I want to put...

I'll take a new one tomorrow. Yesterday was leg day, and for some reason I always gain a lot of water weight after leg day. Compared to yesterday even I look like the stay puft marshmallow man right...

Thanks for your thoughts. Fun fact: I actually have gained strength not lost it during this cut. Though I know muscle is impossible not to lose in a cut. So go figure that pickle.

Once I lose...
