@jajejllc Thank you for sharing detailed Information.

@jajejllc Just one question, how long should the cut/bulk cycles last? Just until you reach the recommended BF %?

@jajejllc "You can't gain new muscle on a cut"

That's false. The guy at Mind Pump Podcast consistently say you can. It comes down to triggering the muscle-building cycle in your body + enough protein.

@jajejllc Hi friends,
I’ve been doing PPL with heavy weights for a year and a half now. Been watching my nutrition, been doing progressive overload, everything good.

However I feel like I started lifting weights because I’m 31 and was at a job desk since my twenties. Wanted to be in good shape and to find a functional body again.

However, the more I’m lifting the more I feel stiff (been doing yoga and mobility routine for 2 months now) but still, this is not what I was really after. I really want to find a functional body again. Be able to lift somebody hurt and to carry him for 200m (I’m a former soldier so I still live in that fantasy). Being strongman or Arnold is nice but if your body is dogshit in terms of usefulness then I feel like it’s not for me.

What should I do then? Should I try bodyweight workouts? Should I start calisthenics with some app like freeletics? If I keep my nutrition like that (high protein) will I lose muscle?

Thanks and have a great day

@waynek If you want a program that leaves you with the ability to perform everyday while still gaining strength and endurance, I recommend you to take a look at tactical barbell ( r/tacticalbarbell ). It is very popular with military and law enforcement.

@jajejllc God resisteth the proud he giveth grace that which is not deserved and yet given anyway,) to the humble.

Love Jesus, read the KJV and pray for wisdom, seek God and his sweet amazing grace.

@jajejllc I usually bulk in the colder months where I live and cut during the spring and summer

@jajejllc I am 14, male, 5'7 and i weigh 59kg. I have already lost a lot of weight, before i was fat and i weighed 75kg. But now i am skinny fat. I have love handles, and man boobs that i really want to get rid of. What should I do?

@jajejllc When it comes to weight management, it's important to assess your goals. If you want to gain weight, focus on consuming more calories than you burn through a balanced diet rich in healthy fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass.

@jajejllc I didn’t wanna make a whole post since idk how people will take it, I’m fat and I was 300 at 14 then I went to 160 at about 22. 30 now and I’m sick of this, sick of the cycle and I really want to be healthy I can’t say I was healthy at 22 I just stopped eating mostly, I want some advice and info to get in shape. I’m inflexible and fat I won’t say otherwise and I’m tired of it, if it helps I’m 5 11 and I’ll be turning 30 soon.

 

[jajejllc]

@carolj471 Your weight is about calories, not about training. Focus on what and how much you eat.

@jajejllc should i take creatine?

 

[mint3]

@jajejllc I'm wanting to put on lean mass, I am 26M, 5'10, 77kg (170lbs) and workout 5 times a week. I've calculated that I need around 3050 calories made up of 440g carbs, 170g protein, 68g fats. Does this sound right
