Thought I would bring this thread back, has died many times before but hopefully we can keep it going this time. Basically discuss anything to do with working out, weight lifting, body building, dieting, etc. Feel free to give people tips, ask and answer questions, whatever you guys want.

I started pretty recently myself. Never did anything up until I was like 18 as I was always playing high school sports so never had to worry about getting out of shape. Started doing casually since then and now been going hard for the past 4 months about. I am stronger in virtually every area now, stuff is starting to take shape and I am pretty damn happy with the results.

Goal now is to bulk up, which is tougher then it sounds :$

Hi guys, I'm looking to cut down my body fat so my abs are visible. I'm 15 years old, 170cm and 147 pounds (5ft 7 and 10st 7) but I still have a bit of fat around the stomach. I've read that the best thing to do is to keep lifting weights, do a little bit of cardio but the most important thing is diet.

Is there anything that you guys could recommend to help me cut the fat quicker? Thanks in advance. And by the way, I can post a picture later if it helps.

Edit: Pictures below. I didn't know how to do the spoiler tags (appreciate any help with them), so I posted the links instead. I'm not sure how big or clear the images are, so apologies in advance.

Do some math to find out how many calories you have to east to maintain your weight. Then eat 20% our 500 calories less than that.

Keep lifting, do some cardio if you want. It's all about less calories than you burn.

Enjoy your abs

Cheers, my maintenance would be around 2200-2300 calories. So I just have to eat 500ish calories below that, by cutting out the fatty foods and making my portion sizes slightly smaller. As I'm on half term and getting up at around 11am, I've been getting up and then lifting/cardio then I'd get lunch at around 1 after having a shower and getting changed. Would this help me by skipping breakfast or is it more harmful?

I love trying to calculate my caloric maintenance

23 years old
male
189 lbs (85.9 kg)
5'10" (177.8 cm)

I get (to maintain my weight) from 3 random websites
2769 calories
1980 calories
2546 calories

then from bodybuilding.com formula 1976.07. so, that's all nice to know.

First day doing any form of cardio in ages and man did it ever suck. Had a bit of time at the end of my workout as i was only doing a light routine. Did 3km on the bike then 1km rowing and felt like spewing. Ridiculous how much my cardio has dropped off recently :lol



Depends on how often you're exercising. Shoot for around 2600 for maintenance and try and error from there.

So, I started eating healthier at the beginning of this week. I need to cut a bunch of weight for myself (as well as my brother's wedding that I'm best man for in September)

I also wound up downloading the DDP Yoga videos, and did the first one tonight (it came with a schedule). I heard alot of good things about the program, and I'm giving it a shot. I'll post progress if and when I start to see it.

It never really happens to me but I'd just listen to music and pick a time

do you have a gym or do you work out at home?
 
#3,311 ·
is there a way you can post an excel file; if not on WF somewhere online I can link to?

I made a simple spread sheet for calculating macro and caloric needs.

It won't break down, no matter how much I shake it :)lol). I might just get a shit blender; those particles are nasty.

the protein shake I mean. I just got some newer casein I wanted to try and it's shit so far.

So I guess it's check-in time for me. I just finished my second full week of DDP Yoga. I've gotta say, I didnt think Yoga would be what got me back into being healthy and working out again, but sure as shit, I wake up every day and look forward to my workout after work.

I've dropped 7 pounds since I've started. It's the first time in a really long time that I'm taking a workout/fitness/diet plan 10000% serious. Once I start to have some visible results, pics will be posted.

Is it okay for me to start bulking now?

Age 16
140 lbs
5 foot 5 inches
10-12% BF (haven't checked)
Usually have around 1800 calories/day

Am I too young or small to start bulking? I'm not super toned but I have a 4-pack and my arms are toned. I go to the gym pretty much every day now that a new one opened finallyup nearby and I have a membership. And how many calories should I have while bulking?

you're not too young; but he's right about lifting correctly, definitely. I don't see how height would matter, lifting correctly won't make him shrink.

I personally think you should use weights, but yes, correctly. You could always get a personal trainer for 1 month to get a feel for the gym.

just stay, unless it bothers you. if it does, then go down. It's summer. Afterwards bulk up if you want. Summer is the perfect time for running which doesn't exactly compliment bulking.
I want to stay in shape but I'm such a lazy piece of shit. What can I do?
stop being lazy, read i$e cut or bulk guide. Lift 3 - 4 times a week, add a little bit of cardio if you can, eat veggies, eat carbs, eat meat. get a calender and mark each day a success or failure, that helps. get a workout buddy or just someone to talk to about it. even if it's only on here, reporting your work helps.
I started a fitness program 3 months ago, and i lost 27 pounds, also i have cheat day everyweek.
But now i don't know why i can't lose more weight, it's the same weight everyweek!, any help?
first, congratulations. That's over 2 lbs a week, that's incredible. Don't do a cheat day, do cheat meals. you would need to give us specifics if you really want help. you might need to lower your calories; I'd suggest upping cardio becuase lowering calories sucks.

when in doubt, i$e it out. vegetables are key as well.
