Hi Kitad, Just two things: 1) it's unusual to lose more muscle than fat in a cut. If you aren't mistaken about this ratio you probably didn't lift heavy enough during the cut or ingested too little protein. Totentanz e-book has good advice about cutting on HST. It's in the fixed topics. 2)...

Wow, that algorithm points to a 3600kcal maintenance for someone like me. Way over the results from other methods. I'm aiming for an average 3500kcal to bulking what could explain why it's being so difficult to break the 220 lbs barrier.

I always liked more the free weights, it feels easier on my joints. I have rheumatic issues and dislike most machine movements. I also feel that free weights deliver a more strong and functional body, due to the stabilization required to maintain correct form, specially the core muscles. A few...

That discussion leads me to a question...how do you estimate maintenance at different bodyfat levels? Obviously a 220 pounder at 25% will need less calories than someone the same weight at 10%. AFAIK fat doesn't consume calories, so probably the actual methods to calculate maintenance can be...

Assuming you have done a correct SD you'll be able to gain on the 15's. I did 15's in one of my cycles and got results when in a surplus.

Charr, why don't you post some pictures of yourself?

I found that Tabata Protocol based exercises are excellent to lose fat and enhance conditioning. It's also fun and fast to do.

Ok Charr, you're doing a lot of things right, but this doesn't compensate the lack of calipers. You never will have the clear picture without a BF measuring tool. I also lost two pairs of jeans because they don't fit me anymore but guess what, I gained a lot of muscle. After you start to...

I'm currently at 215lb, 6' tall and I'm struggling to gain weight at 3500kcals a day. I don' think Charr is over eating. Maybe he's eating at the wrong time, don't know. He also told he gained 14 pounds in the first two cycles. Seems alright to me. Seven pounds in a cycle points to 1.2 pounds...

It's undoubtedly gyno.

Rihad, I didn't know this article about Anabolic Resistance. That's very good stuff. I have reasons to believe I reached "too far" in my bulk, because I've been bulking for 7 months and the last two my gains slowed down noticeably. I'm also getting some continuous aches in my joints that...

I don't see CF as the solutions for all problems but I think it's fun and deliveries a good balance between strength and cardiovascular performance. It' a good overall activity and being overall it doesn't delivery specific results as a specialty activity such as BB. By this obvious reason I'm...

Nice. I always watch some CF videos on YouTube. Thanks for sharing!
