Ask me anything fitness related (srs) (17k reps for legit questions I can't answer)

[DDon1996]

Balance it out? Man your confusing me lol. While do SS 3x a week can I eat 2800 cals a day? Or does it have to get reduced to maintenance of off days.

2800 a day or 2200/3400/2200/3400

[DDon1996]

1. How many calories do you bulk on

2. Is it okay to get under my bulking calories for like one day a week?

3500 or so. Depends on the degree.

As in how many below I am?

[adescamilla]

I'm 18 years old, 5'8, 135 lbs. I'm an extremely slim person. My metabolism really prevents any weight gain. Recently, I've decided to start working out at the rec center at my university. Since I only go to school Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, those will be the days I work out. I currently own Optimum Nutrition 100 Whey Gold Standard Extreme Milk Chocolate. My question is, is this a good product for my type of person, or should I purchase something else? Mind you I'm not trying to become a body builder or anything, just looking to get a more fit looking body. I want to thank everyone in advance for any responses!

Read the stickies.

[strengthgained]

Yes.

Bulk on 3800-4000

Get around 2000-3000 on my "cheat" days

[fr3akeeee]

What food do you usually have for them good carbs? (If there's such thing as good/bad carbs) Or you just eat stuff with carbs (rice, noodles, udons, pasta ETC?)

[kurse196]

2800 a day or 2200/3400/2200/3400

Last time I ask I swear

So if you're running a 500 surplus 6 days a week and then a 1500 deficit, you are bulking at half the rate you would otherwise be bulking.

Lel I don't know how to clarify this. If you are bulking on a 200 Cal surplus @ 2800 and you choose to eat 2600 every other day, you'll need to consume 3000 on your "2800" day in order to compensate for eating at maintenance to bulk at the same rate.

Wow you must have been trained in eavesdrop combat to hear me all the way from here. However 65 pages on a thread only proves you spend more time talking ****e on here than you do lifting. Move along.

Lolwut. Eavesdrop combat. 65 pages of talking **** (e?). Dat AVI. Lel.

[Karim1997]

Hey bro, I've been cutting for 1 month, 4 weeks, and 1 day now, I've lost a good amount of weight, and my waist got smaller too. However, I see little to no visual change. Is this normal?

In progress pics or on a day to day basis? Changes are so gradual they're hard to notice daily.

How about you **** off kunt and not bother someone for helping people.

Op, should I train calves separately?

Also, what're your thoughts on PPL?

[SamSB]

My hips rise too fast when i deadlift. From what I understand this is more an issue with form and not necessarily a sign of a strength issue. Any tips for fixing this? Also, on the negative of the deadlift, should the bar be rubbing against your shins as it does when you lift it?

Thanks brah. Yes you should train calves if you want them to look good.

It's a popular way to structure training.

Pull back, not up. That's why your hips are rising. The negative of the deadlift should hardly be "controlled."

Popular but can it be beneficial for strength and/or hypertrophy?

Would you recommend it?

Certainly, ran twice a week.

If the lifter enjoys it, yes.

By twice a week you mean 6/7 days ?

Final question:

If I was to look for a PPL routine, where would I go ?

TBB stickies?

Why do I always get negged back when I neg white knights on the female misc? semi srs

[adrianbarrios14]

I am doing the AllPro 3x week full body routine. I feel like I am not eating enough protien though and I feel like I am doing too much cardio.
(2 days a week jog/walk 3 miles, ride my bike 2 miles to school and work everyday) I want more of a lean toned body then a big huge body. What do you recommend?
