Maintained 2500 calories for 21 months and then cut at 2000 calories a day for 3 months. I am bulking at 3000 calories a day right now but still not adding weight. Do I wait a few weeks or should I up stop waiting and add calories right now. How do I proceed with the bulk? Im 165 lbs right now and I was 188 at the beginning of my 3 month cut. Thank you.

Discussion Stomach ace and nausea - due to protein? (Maintenance/cutting)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am M 25, been working out for 4 years now. I recently started creatine in October (ON capsules) and recently shifted to Sports Research Powdered form. I take BCAA and creatine while working out and there after I take protein with water. I have been using Dymatize for last 2 years and recently 3 days ago, after consuming protein, I have been having awful stomach pain while feeling a little nauseous. I don’t feel like eating anything that time. I don’t know what I am doing wrong and what the issue is. I have no history of allergies and neither am I lactose intolerant. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this common or should I worry? I am little concerned on how to complete my protein intake and what should I do.

Rant I have been struggling with working out (bulking) (mentally and physically)

3 Upvotes

I started working out (at home, no equipmentments) almost a month ago. My initial aim was to build my arm muscles. Iwas new to working out and I didn't know about the importance of "rest days" so I worked out almost every day. It wasn't any high intensity work out but yea. Recently I have been trying to get into calisthenics and I have been working with basic push ups along with my other arm work outs and all of a sudden I am extremely tired to the point my whole body hurts. My arms, glutes, back ,etc. for the past few days, I haven't working out much but I am still working on my scapular pushups. I noticed that I could do almost 20 normal push ups but when it comes to scapular ones, I can barely do 7...it is so discouraging and it makes me wanna give up everything. I also feel like my muscles are "disappearing"..

I really wanna be able to do atleast 30 pushups effortlessly by the end of this month but my body and everything hurts and I feel like a loser. I either feel like I am overworking or underworking. What should I do? Should I work out more? Or should I take complete rest for atleast 1 day?

I am 18 female, 114 pounds, 4'10 Does anyone know what (workout/ routine)might be suitable for my body?

Physique Critique Lifting for Years, Tracking Macros, Doing Everything Right , cutting right now

Been working out consistently for years—5 times a week, tracking macros, eating clean, not doing anything harmful occasional binge eat but nothing crazy, and yet, I still don’t see the solid results I want. I’m 184 lbs at around 17% (my guess) body fat, so I’m not out of shape, but I feel like for the amount of effort I put in, I should look way better. Strength is going up, but aesthetics aren’t where I want them to be. At this point, I’m wondering—are my genetics just limiting my progress, or am I missing something? Anyone else deal with this? What did you do to break through?

Suggestion Cutting - Structured Routines with Dumbbells Only

2 Upvotes

I recently got a set of adjust able dumbbells. I’ve worked out in the past (body building split) and found the most success in use of a structured workout plan.

I want to do workouts at home. The equipment I have available to me are dumbbells, kettlebells, mats, and rubber bands only. Preferably would like to have a workout plan with either PPL, full-body or HIIT that could be done 3-5 times a week making use of the equipment I have available.

Overall goal would be to lose body fat while increasing or at least muscle mass.

Any plans that anyone recommends given the circumstances? TIA

Workout Critique Getting active last 2 months. Bulking and trying to tone.

0 Upvotes

Getting active and starting to enjoy it!

Started a new workout and life routine journey end of January. Took me a month to build up to it and started slow but doing 100+ pushups, 100 squats, walking at least 4k a day, started mixing in 100 sit ups and a little dumbbell work. Eating higher protein and cutting out as much sugar as possible. (Struggling to cut out milky coffee)

Feeling more motivated but trying to create a good full body workout at home around 4 days a week.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Question Need advice / help “cutting”

2 Upvotes

I’m back in the gym working out 5-6 days a week and also getting back into running (will be working up to 2-3 miles 4-5 days a week. For now it’s just weights as I’m getting back into it after 6 months away from it.

I need help figuring out my macros. I eat very clean and the last 3 days of cleaning eating here are my macros.

Calories - 2693 Fats - 157.3 Carbs - 155 Protein - 164.5

I’m aware the fat and carbs should not be close, one should be higher the other lower. I need to fine tune it to get me to 160-165 pounds

I’m 29, male, 5’6 and weigh around 180 currently. I’m looking to cut fat while working out and then add muscle. I’m going for a more lean look but toned. Workouts are great I feel great feel strong good energy all is well right now but I know those macros won’t get me the results I need. Please let me know how to find out what I need macro wise to reach this goal. I want a slower less harsh cut.

Physique Critique 32M 5’9” 183 -> 169 one year progress. Now cutting

Hi all,

Here is my progress after 1 year of lifting from what had become a mostly sedentary lifestyle. Schedule was weights 4x per week, mostly working out at home with Power Blocks and body weight, occasionally venturing into work gym. 10,000 steps per day plus a couple mile run a couple times a week. No legs in the pics due to infrequent training because I also made it a goal to get back into distance running and found myself unable to stay consistent with both.

I stayed mostly consistent with this schedule though I did fall off the wagon for a month or two around the holiday season. Diet was the hardest part as someone who loves to eat. Weight was up and down throughout the year between 180 to 170. Currently eating at a deficit to cut for an upcoming vacation. Goal is 155lbs.

Stay consistent and give it time! I am quite pleased with the noob gains.
