I wouldn't be surprised, but I don't fully recall reading that or not. There were some reports of self-mutilation due to hunger, but not entirely sure if that was ever fully substantiated.

Body somatotypes like "ectomorph" have been debunked, they hold no scientific basis behind them and were invented by a psychologist in the 1940's trying to classify people based on their body shape. ...

Read up on the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, where volunteers were fed a controlled/monitored 1570 calories for 6 months straight. They all ended up looking like nothing but skin and bones, and...

<---- From a trainer, go get a new trainer.

Are you M or F? Whats your current height/weight and how much weight are you currently gaining per week/month?

No, you don't have to accept that...

You think someone would have the energy to "lift hard like Arnold" on 1000-1300 calories a day? At some point you're not even going to have enough energy to do basic human daily chores, much less...

For sure I think the only way you could possibly get away with unstaffed hours is through an awesome security system that is constantly recording every inch of the gym at all times, as well as having...

Check out Michael Kory's YouTube channel, he doesn't YouTube anymore now that he's a successful gym owner, but he chronicled basically every step of the way on YouTube back when he was getting...

For OP, perhaps you may want to consider dialing back the aggression just a bit. Some people come to the gym to lift, yes most gyms are semi-public places but not everyone wants to be recorded these...

My TDEE has always been high because I constantly move and workout a lot.

Pizza, cheeseburgers, candy, cookies, donuts, cake...

You didn't really state your goals, but based on your program I see a lot of issues with imbalances. Skipping entire muscle groups (chest for instance) is never in anyone's best interest, it leads...

Doubt you'll find someone on here, try visiting your local gyms.

OP, upload a photo on Imgur or other hosting site and post the link here (with spaces in it) so it doesn't get stripped off.

Based on your stats, you would have to add roughly 15 pounds of muscle to achieve that weight at that body fat, and for someone over 40 that will take you a few years. So I would actually call that...

The only way you would know if you're in a 500 cal deficit is if you were losing 1 pound per week. If you're not losing 1 lb per week then you're not in a deficit, its not what some calculator or...

OP what are numbers for your big 3 lifts (bench, squat, deadlift)?

Also, post a photo.

To me it sounds like you've been doing everything, and people that do everything rarely spend enough...

To be honest I really don't understand all these "should I cut or bulk" posts. Its your body, only you know what you want to end up looking like. You've already been cutting for 5 months, and if...
