When I started again I cut for like 9 months. Looked pretty good but I could not get that last little bit of lower belly fat to disappear, and I felt I was getting very thin everywhere else and...

Hard to say, but did you get stronger? Because that would be an indication of whether or not you gained muscle.

I'm bulking now and aiming for 4k a day, although some days I fail to break 3,800.

When cutting I think I go down to around 2,500 - 2,800.

Why fret over it. It's in the past. Whatever % bf you are is nothing more than an estimate anyway.

I usually put on the news when I eat my dinner and listen to all the depressing stories from around the world.

At the weekend if we get takeout we will eat it with a movie.

Come to think of it,...

^ Everything that he said is correct. Your body is low on glycogen and water so when you eat a burger your body is soaking it up.

You don't have a pic and your bodyspace says you're 19% bf. But...

I've seen a few people on gear and the weird thing is, some of them are pretty damn strong and train their back sides off. Then I see others who are in the gym all the time, look like they lift, but...

I'm never sure what my bf % is, but when bulking I would guess I'm around 18-20% and I'm never really hungry. In fact, it reaches a point where I have to eat so much to gain weight it becomes a...

Hi all,

Well after making the original post I started taking creatine again. 3 days later I felt back to my old self. This was after weeks of feeling like I was going downhill.

Could a total of...

If you only gained 6 pounds then I would carry on bulking, because otherwise I suspect in 6 weeks time you'll just be back to where you started. Or if you cut for less than 6 weeks it won't achieve...

I use it for shrugs and I see plenty of people benching with it. Years ago I used to do front squats with it.

Putting aside whether the bar path is optimal or not, it's more akin to a machine...

I can relate to your issue because I'm kind of the same, been training for 3-4 years and I look a lot stronger than I really am. My lifts are stronger than yours, but I can point out dozens of...

I did go through a period of sleeping (or attempting to sleep) 9-10 hours a night, but unfortunately half the time I couldn't get to sleep, or I would wake up in the early hours and not be able to...

I know when I was on a pretty harsh cut first time around, I filled up in the evening on low calorie foods. Rice cakes with pickles, strawberries and low fat yogurt. This was all after my last meal...

Listen to this, it always helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI

I've always had thick eye brows (my dad does too).

In recent years I have my barber trim them when I get a haircut. Maybe that makes them grow more. My wife says eyebrows should be plucked and not...

I'd like to know but if it makes you feel any better I probably drink up to 10 cups a day. It stems from when I was cutting and replaced food with coffee but now it's a habit.

I really wouldn't expect this to happen overnight and especially not at 25.

I think my facial skin definitely looks older now (I'm 41) but I only notice when I look back at photos of myself from...

To answer one of your questions, you can't spot reduce fat, your body burns it from where it wants to.

Although you can recomp (lose fat and gain muscle at the same time) it's generally a lot...

If I grill chicken I put peri peri seasoning on it.

Normally though I cut it into small pieces and fry it, and add sweet chilli and garlic sauce, or teriyaki sauce. The sauce is around 120...
