@silsophi Dude I feel you. The dysmorphia gets to me as well. I have troubles cutting below 15% bf and when I do, im tiny. If you’re staying natural, I’d suggest doing a 2 year lean and smart bulk. Then cut down. Grow as much muscle as possible. My brother in law was a natural powerlifter. He...

@orthodox_christian I do a slightly modified PPL. Roughly directly targeting a muscle group 2 times a week, usually anywhere from 6-8 reps. Monday Push - incline dumbbell bench - skull crushers - Arnold presses - cable flies - tri push down - lay delt raises - maybe a pec dec - maybe some...

@sjw I see. In my mind being dry and no bloating are one in the same.

@sjw I don’t want to necessarily manipulate minerals as I know that will have a rebound effect. Just didn’t know if there is a method or tips for staying drier during a cut. Some people do it automatically seemingly and just have a drier look. IMO I notice a huge difference in drying out at...

@kvolm That’s what I was wondering, thank you. I’ll continue to keep my water and sodium high.

As you likely know, during a peak week the name of the game is maximizing intracellular water retention and eliminating extracellular water retention. While I’m in no way shape or form looking to take to the stage soon (still at 12-15% bf), my question is, is there a way to manipulate this all...

@samsoneagle If you’re going to be dumb, you gotta be strong. But for real, my main point isn’t his genetic potential to gain muscle, but rather the hand he was dealt with insertions. Look at the guy. He doesn’t look like any bodybuilder out there. But he still put in the work anyway and got to...

@fez You know who has shit insertions and never let that hold him back? Terry Crews. Long and low lat insertions, weak shoulder genes, narrower shoulders, bulky/ blocky midsection. The list goes on. Dude looks fucking great. Works hard, trains right, obvious PED use but never let his genetics...

@wayne1980 Of course man. Reddit can be a great resource so don’t be afraid to ask for help. Biggest take away should be cutting calories and being in a 300cal deficit. If not, you aren’t going to get the results you’re after. No workout program is going to out work a bad diet. I’d argue that...

@wayne1980 Don’t worry about bulking and cutting yet if you’re semi new to working out. You could do a recomp essentially and workout out hard while in a calorie deficit. Definitely possible to build some muscle while burning fat if you’re a new lifter. Just make sure you’re getting enough...

@wayne1980 A bench would be a huge addition but not needed off the back. Break it in to a PPL (push, pull, legs). On your push day you can do dumbbell presses and dumbbell flies for chest, Arnold press and lateral raises for shoulders. Skull crushers and dumbbell extensions for triceps. Push...
