Hi all I have posted on here a few times in regards to form chexk etc. Finally decided to ditch working at home and start going to the gym. I have been for the past 4 months consistently working out at the gym with the stronglifts 5x5. For 4 months i have consistenly been benching and pressing and…

[image] mrnuggets: I eat 1600 calories recommended for me cause i am an office worker but i do walk to work 2ks , 2 days a week. 175cm tall and 72kg. I actually dropped to 69.5 but still not a drastic weight loss. I eat almost 2.5kg of chicken meat a week for protien. About 400g a day it comes o…

Exactly as @MarkKO says. Stop being a nugget and eat some nuggets a big Mac, large fries and a coke. Eat eat eat

You’re miscalculating something. 400g of protein = 1600 kcals. I struggle to believe that you’re eating nothing but chicken. No carbs, no fats? Eat more (maybe 2500 kcals?) and make sure you’re tracking stuff properly.

Yh sorry I meant to say 400 grams of chicken meat. But i eat around 150g of protein a day or thats my target anways. I got the 1600 calories from my fitness pal.I also obiously eat carbs and etc to make up for the rest of the calories

Ah ok, my bad. Yeah definitely eat more - I’d be keen to capitalise on this super-anabolic period you’ll never get to experience again! If you’ve dropped several kilos then it’s safe to say you’re not eating enough to get stronger :slight_smile: Good luck!

When you set up MFP; input current weight, Set your goal weight (you will have to set this higher than your current weight) Set it to gain 0.25 - 0.5kg p/week (Depending on how concerned you are with fat gain) Set activity level to active Change macro goals to 45% carb, 30% protein, 25% fat Hi…

I don’t know any programs that starts off with upper body only and adds squats and deadlift after 3.5 months. Also, 4 months is nothing. Fix your diet and get on a proven program. By next year, you will see great improvements.

Yeah it’s called stronglift :joy:

Touché On a side note, i did use SL 5x5 once when I fixed my squat stance. Started with empty bar. My knees hated me…

Thanks,I really like the program and wasnt sure about modifying it. I’m either going to use it or try 5-3-1. I want to get bigger but my daughter is an athlete and she trains with me. So I have to find something that works for the both of us
