Spring Cutters Crew Vol. 5: Keep Hustlin Cuz

[jshaw5]

Hey miscers, I hit a weight loss plateau. How much of a % surplus of calories are you doing for refeeds? And how many times a week?

I've been stuck at my weight for almost a month now. I was dropping weight like CRAZY then all of a sudden fkn BRICK WALL. I fluctuate between 188 - 192 lbs for the last month. I've been having a cheat-ish one day a week and I get a 2-3lb bloat from that and I'm straight back on my diet of 1800-2000 calories (I am doing Insanity workout right now so I probably burn 500-700 calories per workout, should I eat more?). But I still haven't seem to get through this plateau.

13k reps for tips to bust this wall down.

Refeed is usually around maintenance. If you've hit a wall, take a break from the cut, sit at maintenance for a week or two before bringing the cals back down.

You have to go to the Goals tab on your pc and then Custom goals nd adjust the cals/macros to yours

[JACKIECHANFAN]

stop doing cheat days and have a calculated refeed once a week, at or above maintenance.

What I mean by cheat days is I just get my calories through non-bro foods :O. I do go above maintenance on these "cheat" days, though.

alright brahs?

thinking about starting keto tomorrow, im already on ~50g carbs a day and i think id respond well just doing keto

Anyone have experience doing/or is currently doing it? Tips, advise please lol. Thanks lads.

Did keto last year.
Pros:
-Always looked lean & feel light
-Fatty food=tastes good
-Everyday pb/whey sludges hnggg

Cons:
-Low energy at gym after a while
-Flat feel/look
-You start missing carbs like crazy
Brb plain bread tastes amazing
-Always looking forward to your carbup/refeed day

Not worth imo..I need my carbs daily

Oh yeah, these too. I can't think of a tastier way to spend 5 calories.

Discovered this recently too, very exciting.

Watermellon (I think a whole one is under 100 calories lol, but that's just something I've heard not sure on it), cantelope, strawberries, cucumber. All very low in calorie.

Was under in calories all week but no weight loss overall (very high sodium sat/sun so maybe bloat?) but I look a bit leaner. I'll try one more week at this calorie range and see if I get one of those woosh's everyone talks about.

I don't bother going into much detail discussing lifting/diet with anyone outside the boards, other than an occasional chat with my brother or when I decide to bore my wife with a detailed explanation of the functional relationship between volume day and intensity day on the Texas Method lol. Other than that, it's just easier to give vague responses to questions and ignore stupid comments.

No one ever sticks with it anyways so I just refer them to MyFitnessPal, show them a solid calorie calculator and then show them that beginners program on the workout program board.
But, I had one friend who has stuck with it for a year now, we've become best friends lol. Finally someone to talk about nutrition and go lift with. Becoming full homo together.
No homo.

In week 5 of keto lost 18 lbs so far and down 3% bf according to my bio impedance scale (I know it's not that accurate but I was 19% now I'm 16%) I like it but yeah lack of energy at the gym and my lifts have stalled pretty hard. As soon as I hit 10% I'm gonna ease carbs back in and start carb cycling.

This IF diet is being thrown around the UK at present, met someone today who was on a non eating day oh lawd.

http://www.nhs.uk/news/2013/01Januar...diet-work.aspx

Link is from our national health system as well lulz.

I don't do IF but you guys only fast for like 16 hours right? not for a day? The 5/2 thing just seems too much?

Edit seems you can take in 5/600 cals on fasting days but just seems quite drastic. Fad dieting of peace. Will get the whales interested for a couple of weeks before they go back to the pies and cakes.

[Eware]

without ephedrine, cause it ****s with my lungs

Going to second the drink a lot of water recommendation and also suggest trying apple cider vinegar.

[jshaw5]

Yeah, fast for 16 hours, eat for 8 hours. Most guys typically eat around 12pm-8pm and fast 8pm-12pm, but it varies. I've heard of fasting for 1 whole day, even that sounds rough. In theory, fasting 2 days would give you the same weekly calories as a 1,000 calories deficit per day, can't see how that would be good for anyone that is trying to hold onto as much muscle mass as possible.

Depends on how you want to do it really. 17-18 hours is the average fast for me but that's simply because my schedule fits best around that. 5/2 does seem pretty dramatic....but if they can stay consistent with it why not?

o lawd layne & Yates clash heads.

thread described layne was discussing HIT vs high volume with some random and Dorian jumped in. No specific study was noted.

[ThomasBrah]

stop doing cheat days and have a calculated refeed once a week, at or above maintenance.

This^^

I had a refeed yesterday, had a whole box of cereal + some other stuff. Counted cals and stayed the same weight, wasn't bloated the next day either.

did you get mod negged or something.
i gain like 2-3 pounds after a refeed and then it drops to lower than the initial weight after like 2 days.

strong this. I've got a PT fraternity brother and he's really the only guy I can talk to about it. Everyone else who asks me for advice/information completely disregards what I say and sticks to their own methods, despite their complete lack of knowledge on bodybuilding.

For example I've got a buddy who wants to get cut. Right now he's eating 1600 calories (dude weighs 215lbs) and about 70g protein. I tell him he needs to up calories and up protein, he tells me "no I'm not upping protein, I don't want to get big"
