Should I Start Cutting? And How?

Week 1 for the program. I put on 2kg on every week, and i am in week 5 now. Its to 6 weeks.

Rowing one and a manual 8kg

Breast dumbbell 8kg

Arnold Press 8kg

Barbell 6kg

French Press 12kg

Bulgarian outcomes 5kg

Strength Exercises 5 rep 3 sets

bench press 20kg

squat 20kg

What is this?

Do you do the same thing every day? How many days/per week?

What the heck are these:

Regardless of your answer, yes, stop this now and start a program from this site.

Put calories around 2500kcal and exercise out of the gym more often.

Anyways, I’ve tried to help, good luck man.

I just want to add that as someone who did a set of 20 squats with 75% of my training max (60% 1RM) on Tuesday this couldn’t be more wrong. I recommend you try it, maybe even video it, then get back to us. If it’s easy then perhaps you can ignore all the great advice you’re getting like you are.

I don’t know what that is that you’re currently doing but it’s terrible, basically anything you do will be better. And like everyone else has said just eat some good food. That’s all I have to say.

I’m calling troll right about now. How delusional do you have to be think that you’re on the right track when you literally look like a fat chick with sagging tits?

I have more reason to like you every time you post.

(I wrestled from 8th through 12th grade, then coached it for three years at a local HS during during my football off-seasons in college).

I wanted to play football but wasn’t allowed. Someone at mom’s highschool had to spend 6 months woth a back brace on. So no dice.

I played baseball but always missed the cut for the ā€œgood kid teamā€ and ended up on the ā€œscrub teamā€. The scrub team loses, that’s what they’re for. No matter how hard I worked we lost. That was 6-8yo.

So the winter of 8yo I wanted to try an individual sport and went out for wrestling. I got to grind kids’ heads into the mat, cross faces, jam their own knee into their chin in a cradle. Now here’s my sport.

I loved doing something aggressive. I had a bit of an advantage because I had physical chores and could throw things around. But get into high school and I’m 185lbs with a 33in waist at 13yo. I was wrestling seniors who water cut from 200. The weigh ins were the day before and hydration tests didn’t exist yet. I was getting steam rolled by kids who look like Atlas.

Coach came to me and said ā€œyou could go to states if you lost 15-20 lbsā€. So I tried… alot. I didn’t know anything about calorie balance, fueling exercise or eating for performance. I just did hella cardio and stopped eating. I’m the type of guy who gets hangry when he doesn’t eat. So that was unsustainable.

Eventually I got damn tired of not eating and quit. I had better things to do in HS like chase a certain redhead (she’s still around so I win). I just wish I somebody knowledgeable about sports nutrition could have talked to us. Ah well moving on.

So when I address people having problems losing fat, I feel for them. Being stuck on that damn yoyo cycle really sucks.

Ok ok, thanks for the answers.

But do u guys think that losing some weight in combination with muscleworkout is the way to go, if i want to get rid of that amount of belly fat?

If you want to look good naked:
Never
Ever
Stop lifting weights.

If you want to ADD cardio to accelerate fat loss given your diet is in check. Good.

Keep lifting.

Yes i will continue lifting. But now i am thinking of the belly fat i have. Is ur advice to eat much smaller amounts of food? 2000kcal?

How much do i need to train a week?

  1. From my own experience in the real world advising others I have learned… true beginners know jack and shit regarding the subject.
  2. Im old and have raised two boys 17 & 18 that will teach someone patients…lol
  3. have no real emotional investment in this thread…
  4. Figured i would just get some more info and let the rest of you guys give advice.

Pick a calorie level. Stick there for 1 whole month. Assess results. I’ll say 2,500 for you.

Use a training program from a real coach. Starting strength or 5/3/1 are everyone’s go-to for new guys.

Myself I haven’t reached calling Troll just yet…Im just going to sit back and watch.

There’s no gotcha here. Some people are just really confused about how lifting/eating/metabolism works. If all you have to go on is Weider style magazines and GNC ads. Or bro advice from the gym I shudder to think.

Also the internet sucks for advice too.

Eat less. Be active. Listen to what everyone on this forum has told you. Don’t even talk about bulking or cutting or lifting programs. Just live a more overall healthy lifestyle and you’ll be surprised at the progress you make.

Exact reason … why im patient with this young man.

1- Do some difficult physical activity everyday for ~ 1-2 hours. Following 5/3/1 and do the moderate cardio shit that Wendler advocates for off-days. I dunno. Go walk as fast as you can on a nearby hill trail that goes for 3+ miles.

Whatever floats you boat. Doesn’t really matter for weight-loss. Just do something difficult everyday for at least 1-2 hours.

2- Eat nothing but stuff you’ve cooked yourself over a stove-top or in an oven. The only possible exception is using the microwave because you lack an oven. You can eat whatever the hell you want; just cook it yourself.

You can eat as much as you want.

Just… do that.

Guys is this right?

Is it true that i need to have a week of training period when i end with a period, and want to start with a new?

The reason for that is supposedly that the connective tissue will be broken down so you get stimuli on cut so you do not lose mass?

No, just no.

Eat, lift repeat.
