So i started going to the gym around three weeks ago (total beginner) and my routine is as follows:

squats 3 sets 8 reps (10kg not including bar)
bench same as above
shoulder press 3 sets 8 reps...

bump

So three weeks into my lean bulk(skinny fat) eating at 2400 cals.

First week weigh in - 141.4lb
second 144.8
third (today) - 144.2

I have been aiming for 0.5lb a week. I put week 2 (increase...

not sure about % but lost around two stone. Only exercise was HIIT 3x a week. Started lifting last week when i started my bulk so fingers crossed by body starts to recomp

estimate please, pics in body space

im in the same position bud (slightly higher bf - see my body space). Ive just started a lean bulk(eating 200 cals over maintenance) as i hope, by being a newbie, that i can put on a decent amount of...

hi sunsean, could you have a quick look at the photos in my body space. Im in a similar position (i think? Am i skinny fat?) and have been advised to start a lean bulk for a few months and then get...

thanks mate, appreciate it

thanks overly, should i be eating slightly above tdee?

yes i calculated TDEE at 2200. I didn't jump straight from 1700 to 2300 - i increased by 200 every week. To lean bulk then, would i need more than 2300?
My current macros are 144 protein, 230 carbs...

I've upped my calories from 1700 to now 2300 and started lifting. Feel bloated as f*** - is this normal and will this subside? As explained on previous postt, after being overweight for so long i...

estimate please - pics in body space
currently 21, 5 ft 10 and weigh 144b

if i were to bulk until, say february, would i be able to lose the majority of my love handles and belly fat by summer (around july time)?

As above, reading so many conflicting opinions on this subject. Should I cut or bulk first? Currently eating at around maintenance and started lifting last week.

My goal is just to lose the fat! I don’t want to gain lots of muscle (for now) but that will probably change when I’ve lost the gut... so you suggest just staying on 1700 cals even though I’ve...

no what i meant was what calories to consume on a recoup. I've been eating 1700 and have reached a plateau.. don't think its a good idea to drop cals any lower

what do you suggest then if my maintenance is 2200?

thanks, what bf% would you say i am currently? also as a beginner, is it possible that i'll gain muscle and lose a bit of fat at the same time? if I'm eating at maintenance then i shouldn't gain any...

should i eat below maintenance on non workout days?
if i recomp till around march, would i see a significant difference when i then cut down say march to june?

thanks suffolk

any other advice would also be great
