@trinity101 It's a wide range! Here's what one of my goal days would generally start out looking like, but I always tend to add in a few snacks here and there that bump up the calories (hence, the lack of cut as illustrated above.) I've estimated on some of these because I was too lazy to go...

@rocky24 It's the bodyweight rule! Generally 1 gram of protein per 1 lb of weight is recommended for muscle growth or retention during a cut (though some people think this is overkill, but I don't mind packing in the protein so I figure why not)

@coffeefiend I agree, and I appreciate the comment! I actually started therapy after a really misguided dieting phase last year, and we talk a lot about disordered eating and dysmorphia and how to focus more on achievement-based workouts, which this sub has really helped me with. That said, I...

@tspaz Ah great, thank you! Couldn't find the original link.

@laperladelsur I have two 15lb dumbbells, two 25lb dumbbells, and a 40lb kettlebell. I use the 15s for most arms stuff but have recently switched to the 25s for the rows and bench. I use both 25s or the kettlebell for the lower body stuff.

@redheadeddwarf I can't find the link but I found the original routine pasted in a really old note on my phone! I've made modifications over time based on personal preferences but this is the one I started with. Sorry for funky formatting, it was in a spreadsheet. 8 week/3 day dumbbell program...

@asking79 I've found that it really makes an aesthetic difference for me– I wasn't focusing on protein at all in the first picture and hadn't been for months, and in the second picture I had upped it to my current range for two months. And even without the effect on muscle, it just makes me feel...

@dawn16 The 25s are enough if I rack them for squats and use them for RDLs, and I use the kettlebell for hip thrusts and single leg deadlifts! I'll probably have to get something heavier soon, but they're enough for now- I still get DOMS here and there!

@dawn16 I have two 15lbs, two 25lbs, and a 40lb kettlebell

Hello! I'm eternally grateful for posts like this for teaching me about body recomp in the past, so I'm here to share my own– I've done it purposely before, but this time it really was accidental since my original goal was to lose about five pounds. TL; DR: I failed to cut calories for...

@_marc97 It works! Sorry to post my own thing but I broke down a month of recomp for me earlier this year in detail here. I was pretty skeptical as well before I tried it, but I think high protein intake and progressive overload in workouts is really effective if you do it right. Obviously every...

@supersenior i love her too!!
