That's not quite true. Strength and hypertrophy go hand in hand. The amount of volume needed is the amount your body needs to cause a response that results in strength improvement and muscle growth....

No need to cycle creatine. Have a look at the creatine sticky thread.

Don't always believe what salesmen tell you. Look for real evidence / independent verification, for example:

It sounds like you might like the powerbuilding routine in the sticky threads.

*edit - or perhaps this one: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=120309781

You would obviously need to...

Perhaps you should consider some resistance training. You will not recover your metabolism from when you were younger just by losing weight. If anything, it will reduce it since metabolic rate is...

That sounds low - is that your BMR (i.e. does not include daily activity). Calculators are only guesses, we have to find a true TDEE by experimentation.

I would expect your true TDEE to be closer...

OK, so it's really only the last 3 that are relevant. It looks like you reduced your calories here - or increased expenditure, same difference.

Can't say too much although 21 June looks like a low...

post a list of dates and weights (morning weight only) and I can do a trend analysis

I'm not saying it's all water weight but it can account for more than you think. This is because muscle...

Just to give us an idea of the progress you've made, what are your maximum effort lifts in the main compounds (e.g. bench, squat, pullup, overhead press etc). You can give these as a (for example) 10...

Usually this scenario is just from having your measurements confused by changes in water weight. It's common to lose weight faster at first and then it can hit an apparent plateau. Any rapid changes...

Your assumption is that those supplements actually work.

I would expect the cross section of intelligence to be similar to the general population. It doesn't require brains but smart people also...

At that calorie level you would be burning muscle. Given that most people don't naturally have enough muscle mass to get ripped even without extreme diets, it's very unlikely.

I don't think novices need custom programs. I think it's generally better to do a well constructed cookie cutter routine like Fierce 5. Learn how it works, how it manages progression and start...

Well, if you want to, try it out. 500 calorie deficit for 5 weeks should get you close enough. If it doesn't work, you haven't taken a backward step, you just need to refocus on muscle gain.

You should be able to upload a progress picture into your bodyspace

I honest don't know - yes your specific gravity would stay the same so in theory it should stay the same. IME hydrostatic weighing is much more influenced by how successfully the expel all the air...

I can't do anything with that, need more like two weeks. Once you have that, I can estimate a trend for you.

Also, the third reading is obviously wrong.

To get to 10%, assuming you only lose fat and no muscle, you'd be 68.2kg

However, I agree with Tommy, you are already quite light and muscles may not be large enough to show through the skin even...

Ultimately it's a numbers game - whatever it takes to control your calorie intake and sustain a deficit over a long period of time. Everything else is peripheral. I only scanned what you wrote and...

Of course. It's a powdered food product, it has calories just like any food does.
