How many calories and what macros should be optimal on a refeed day? I'm 160lbs been cutting on 1500 following the myfitnesspal app. I increased this to 2000 the last 2 days. I'm feeling better but...

I'm 5"10 started at same weight as you. I'm 161lbs now and still not lean on my core. Just keep going until it's gone!

I've been there and done it. Started at 300lbs and cut all the way to 140lbs at 5"9.
It's actually not that difficult if your willing to cut way back and stick to counting calories daily.

I was heavy and lost the weight. For me my lifts decreased dramatically while cutting. My numbers were dependant on the fat eating I was doing.
I say you should go for it and sacrifice any strength...

You will adjust to the reduced calories and eventually feel perfect on a cut, keep going!

I've cut back to 2 days per week and it's working just fine. Not ideal if your a bodybuilder. But I just like lifting to stay strong.

My bench press went down 45lbs on 2200 calories. This was over a period of a few months.

Just wondering. I've done 1280 for a few days and felt quite ill. I've done 2000 and felt perfectly fine.

Thanks guys. FYI I can re-assess my schedule in a week or two. But for now I have a 3 day window, when I can workout. So any suggestions will be appreciated about working out with 3 days on and 4...

I am very busy with college and work right now. I think I need to only go to the gym 3 days on with four days off. I will be cutting for a few months, so I may lose some mass either way.
Is there...

I think anyone is entitled to think there tough no matter what there bf%.

Thanks I'll look into that. That's a great increase on your bench press. 100kg is tough for me. I'm finding it very hard to get it.

I was thinking about trying 5/3/1. I tried starting strength before. But I noticed I get better results with assistance exercises included in my routine.

I'm stuck bench pressing 200lbs for 6 reps. I'm looking to increase this to 225lbs for 8.
Assuming my diet is ok. What program do you recommend?

Yeah, I know. I am in a rush and I posted that using my phone.

I was pressing 200lbs for reps. I didn't lower the weight every set. Basically some guy jumped in and started spotting me. Saying push push and having me trying to get another rep when I was in fact...

I normally bench press alone. I can tell when I'm on my last rep.
Today someone was spotting me and had me pushing when I was stuck. As a result I had to go a lot lighter for the rest of my chest...

Thanks for your reply. I have more fat on me than you may think. The lowest I've been was 164lbs and I still wasn't finished cutting at that weight. But I had been cutting for 18 months so I did a...

I'm 5"10 197lbs. I have a good bit of fat on me at this weight and a gut. I am currently cutting at 2500 calories per day (my scales is broken right now and I haven't really been tracking how much I...

I've been drinking about 10 litres per day. I just got back to college after the summer. On day 1 I learned my lesson and realised I need to cut way back. I spent the entire day dying to use the...
