Nice. Bodyfat %?

Still fighting against a throat bacteria but at least I felt better enough to train. It's really hard to hit protein goal without exceeding calorie limit. The solution is to drink whey protein but unfortunately almost all of them taste like crap. I'm still managing the loads from last...

Agree but should he leave the extra strength to try new PRs after 5RM weeks or recalculate the entire progression of 5's to start a little heavier?

Thank you. That's great advice. BTW it was the main reason I kept bulking for so long. O&G told me once and I found very logical. I think there's a price to pay on changing between bulk and cut, so the less changes is better.

Indeed. My initial plan was to cut until 10-11% so I would be able to bulk for at least 7 months. I honesty prefer my appearance under 13% but you know what, I'm getting sick of this cutting thing. I'm planning to keep two more weeks to see if I can get a little under 12 and start growing again.

You can workaround this by saving your carbs to use them next your workout. I train at 6pm and usually keep intake at minimum so one hour before training I take 30g or 40g of Maltodextrin. After training I'll take some more carbs to help compensation.

Talking about chins, why don't you progress with weights on your belt or weights straps on the ankles?

Jester, are you suggesting that I would be better quitting my cut at 12% and return to my bulking? I'm near 12 right now and I'm missing bulking times...

So you basically knocked me down. If Rihad at 32 yrs old can't shredd at a big size what could I say about me, arriving at 39? I STILL have a dream. To get 209 lbs of LBM AND BF around 9%...

Jester, Should I consider this status individually per group/exercise or as an overall status? For instance, in the Bench I'm getting closer to the limit at a 1RM of 97kg. In the deadlift I'm a complete novice @ 106kg for 1RM. Should I train bench press as an intermediate (soon) and DL as a...

Mickc, I want to loose 1 lb per week at minimum. I know I lost a lot of weight in the first weeks but it was primarily water weight. TBH I know that things aren't so bad. I'm just impatient. [emoji1]

So, does it look like 12%??

210 lbs of BW today. Calipers showing 12,5% BF using JP7. Got a cold and had a terrible workout yesterday. Let's see if it gets better. Average caloric intake for this entire month was 2520. Maybe I should cut another 200 cals...

Haha Somebody hasn't done his homework.

The results for your calculation seem wrong. I found 210lbs of LBM and I'm 6' tall. I don't remember ankle and wrist sizes but I can guarantee you I have very thin wrists.

Now things are getting clear. I didn't lost any strength but I lost tolerance for higher volume. Last week was great, only trained twice. This week I trained at Monday and again today. Got the usual loads but ended a lot more tired. I'm even feeling some twitches in the triceps.

You should have a very tasteful hat to be so confident... Kidding. I'm also a skeptical but I'm following closely this method. Maybe it works. Who knows...

Charr, Maybe you should test your testosterone level. I don't believe you can't loose weight on 2000kcal with you height and weight, unless you have hormonal issues.

Charr, Testosterone is maybe the most important exam to be made.

And what about increasing some weights, do you think is viable? And more...is it useful?
