Was uneducated on body fat until a few months ago, so I thought a BMI under 25 was healthy. I had barely any focus on my fitness. I also really like to overeat. Food tastes good.
I'm getting there but think i might have to bulk before I get closer because apparently i could frick up my metabolism or CNS by cutting straight to 12% from where i was (28%)
I am, currently 21% but people on here been saying don't cut straight down without a period of bulking/maintaining for a couple months but I don;t want to slow down my progress, i can;t tell if they are trolling
because CICO doesnt work and nobody has yet figured out what does.
You can eat nothing for weeks and run 5 miles a day and not lose weight.
Its all just random hormones n shit
prime example of terrible info from IST and trying to keep people fat

You are same guy right? or this just got real confusing.I've gotten some decent advice on here but for that one i just couldn't tell if they are torlling
I was spinning my wheels 'lean bulking' for 9 months. Started bloatmaxxing in mid-october and have made more gains since then than did from february through october.
no you havent. you are so fricking delusional if you think you have made gains from mid-october to now. you can literally build like 200-300g of muscle in that time. you just got fat. your muscles are packed to the breasts with glycogen and water and body is on fat cells galore.
I was stuck stuck at 7.5kg dumbbells since May. Started Sam Sulekmaxxing on Octobver 11. Soon, the invincible 8kg dbs was child's play and I went straight to lifting 10 kgs.
I'm seeing similar progress on most lifts. Chest flys are up from 25-30 to 35-45 kg. Machine shoulder press is doubled - it went from a sketchy lift that I hated to one of my favourite exercises. Normally I was struggling under the slightest amount of weight and I felt like I was asking for an injury.
>also BMI is not an indicator for bodyfat
This is a fact I'm acutely aware of. I was "underweight," but not underfat at 42.8kg. Feeling like a fatass at 48.5kg kg with fat rolls spilling out over my belt, but I'm making progress on my lift now that I've upped my caloric intake from 1650 kcal to 2200 kcal. I'm planning to continue buling until the end of the year.

The basic plan right now is to slowly maingain my way up to like 160 and then cut at the end if I look like I need it.
I originally cut from 170 to 150 and I got tired of everyone telling me I looked like I was going to die.
Fair enough, I'm getting some of that as well, which made me slow down my cut and gain some more muscle before decreasing my bf. Currently at 14% 160 6', I'll try to be 155 at most when reaching 10% because otherwise I'll look ghoulish too.
I was at 10% but didn't feel so good and my progression stalled. At 13-14 I progress better, have more energy and feel stronger, but I looked better at 10%
I actually am.
Feels good man. Took a lot of work to get here.
Good job. How many months cutting?
i wanted to hit 180kg deadlift.
now i want to do it for 3 reps.
and i also want 80kg OHP
then i can cut and never bulk again

dumb c**t, fricking cut, stop being obese

the best advice is to do the opposite of what IST tells you. keep cutting. IST will keep you fat and weak.

not sure what you mean.
You can eat zero calories all day but on fat from just a single spoon of seed oils
*but put on fat
You are same guy right? or this just got real confusing.I've gotten some decent advice on here but for that one i just couldn't tell if they are torlling
same guy, but i was suggesting the cico doesn't work was bad advice, not my own.
Right okay. Ik the cico deniers are on a whole nother level of moronic
on par with the gaza genocide deniers, if i do say so myself.
yep in fact make sure to bulk up to a bf% thats even higher than what you started with
Got fat and depressed for the past 2 years. Gimme like 2 more months and I will be.
Because I’m fat.
Because I'm still bulking.
I was spinning my wheels 'lean bulking' for 9 months. Started bloatmaxxing in mid-october and have made more gains since then than did from february through october.

>You are just fat.
I am BMI 16

post pics fatty
Pic rel was my starting point.
Up from 44kg to 48.5 kgs.
I apologise. keep bulking.
newbie gains progress like this regardless of your caloric state
great work getting overfat for no reason
also BMI is not an indicator for bodyfat

it's because I'm above 12% bf
>Why are you not under 12% body fat?
I don't track calories like I used to...
cause im 35 years old
post pics grandpa
i hate over eating i couldn’t be above 12% bf even if i tried

If you can create energy out of nothing you are quite literally a god.
>never heard of hormones
typical ISTner
So you're saying that some people can defy the laws of physics, and never starve to death?
You must have been dropped on your head as a baby you frickin' idiot. Close the door on your way out..
because Im bulking you fricking twink
Im gonna be 10% bf in the summer, like every year
just stay indoors all summer and shitpost on IST, haha!
I like cooking and eating food more than I enjoy looking slightly more ripped.
I only cut that low for special occasions
You lose mass so fast when you're under 12%
I'd have to be like 140 pounds or less to be under 12% and I refuse to be that light, even if I would have abs.
Currently 155 and 16% or something.
What's the point of being heavier if it's all fat? You could simply also increase your muscle mass to reach it sooner, like at 150 lbs.
The basic plan right now is to slowly maingain my way up to like 160 and then cut at the end if I look like I need it.
I originally cut from 170 to 150 and I got tired of everyone telling me I looked like I was going to die.
how tall are you, im a manlet and at 150 I would literally be a corpse
Fair enough, I'm getting some of that as well, which made me slow down my cut and gain some more muscle before decreasing my bf. Currently at 14% 160 6', I'll try to be 155 at most when reaching 10% because otherwise I'll look ghoulish too.
(But ideally, I'll be around 165 to 170 at 10%)
cus im a fat piece of shit that needs to lose at least 10kg to be a good size and look normal again
t. dadbod
because
Because 15% is optimal for health.
I don't want to see my bones.
I'm on the carnivore diet while doing intermittent Dry fasting.
Im losing weight constantly and relatively fast.
The downside is that I still have like 50 pounds to go, so I'm gonna reach the sweet 12% in like three or four months at best.
Just when summer is ending here in Argieland.
Greif. The past two years have fricked me up, ive lost so much -_-
I was at 10% but didn't feel so good and my progression stalled. At 13-14 I progress better, have more energy and feel stronger, but I looked better at 10%
