the average of what all the online calculators say my maintenance cals are is around 2000 cals so i took away 500 for my deficit

Seems about right for your weight. I’m about 139 lbs rn and I cut on about 1500. Just make sure you’re not losing too fast and that you’re getting enough protein. Great job on joining the new gym. Social anxiety can make it really tough so it’s even more of an accomplishment that you got yourself past the fears.

Just progressively lift heavy weights and eat a lot of clean, whole foods. If you aren't on tech, recovery time is even more important (I could never rest enough when training naturally).

I only read the first page, so apologies if this has already been discussed. What's your program like? Have you considered doing starting strength? I personally think its great for novices such as yourself, but I wouldn't recommend GOMAD.

i just did legs and cardio, was supposed to do back and biceps but as expected my triceps are absolutely destroyed after yesterday so i did legs instead. i might do abs and more cardio tonight. hoping my triceps are recovered tomorrow so i can do back and biceps

Sounds like you need some sort of anti-estrogen/blocker

nah my cock and sperm is strong, if i still have tits when i get lean i will get my test level checked srs but i feel fine. i really think most of the fat but no muscle gain was from soda

Have you ever had your e2 or prolactin levels checked?

[lilbloaty]

don't even know what either of those are

ok so again you might need an anti-estrogen agent to take care of the bloat.
i'd get my bloods checked if I were in your situation then take it from there

i thought you were joking tbh but if i had estrogen and low test surely my dick wouldn't work and i wouldn't be able to grow facial hair etc? plus my tits don't have the hard thing underneath that apparently is there when you have gyno so i think it's just fat and not breast tissue. my diet was horrible. i'm gonna see how it goes till i lose weight then if i still look like chit i will go and get tested

Most people critiquing your "cut" are trying to tell you to get stronger throughout your fat shedding by eating the right foods, strength training, and incorporating a lot of cardio/HIIT to aid in fat loss.

What's your food looking like bloatchit? Are you tracking it at all? What do your cals and macro mix look like this past week?

I'm just looking at your ability to build muscle and people fail to realize how important hormones are when it comes to that.
Agree - lift heavy, eat better foods, and get plenty of sleep/recovery.

You can do it brah.

well first before i started working out properly again i used an online calculator to track what my 500 deficit is and it said 1,500 because i said i did no activity at all. i recalculated it after advice in this thread now that i'm working out hard 5-6 times a week. now my 500 deficit is around 2000 but last night i had 1,600

last night i fasted till 5pm then had:
chicken breast mixed with veg
wholemeal sandwiches with ham
then later on i had 2 bananas with a protein shake with 2tsp of peanut butter
i drank water all day and had 2 cans of diet soda

altogether 1600 calories, 117 carbs, 142 protein, 44 fat

i'm gonna eat closer to 2000 tonight since i've worked out hard today but prob still around 1800 tops as long as i still get enough protein

btw i'm doing strength training and cardio with some HIIT

just answered your questions brah, i'm making the first progress thread when i see changes in the mirror

[PenorBrahNoHomo]

I was very skinny-fat when I started lifting, probably not so much as you. If you gain weight and it's nearly all muscle your bodyfat will decrease as a percentage of total weight and you'll actually have something to then cut down to.

[IronFingaz]

It's probably best that you start your progress thread now Bloaty. Seeing your starting pics will give everyone the opportunity to gauge your progress and it could be very inspirational to others that are in similar shape to you. Not only that, but if the only pic you have of you on here is your avatar, you could be seen by many to be a fake/troll.

thanks brah reps on rc

Your triceps only weigh 4g so they will heal fast.

[lilbloaty]

Don't worry. It's a marathon not a sprint. If you keep your workout frequency up the DOMS will never be as bad as they are now.

[Aristotelian]

i have to take a rest day

You're just starting out, don't beat yourself up too much about being sore - it's normal for beginners. Rest days are part of any program too - see my previous posts where I encourage you to see this from a longer term perspective and as part of your life, not as a quick and easy fix.
